The Edge says @U2’s new album ‘Carnaval De Luz’ only exists because Larry Mullen Jr. returned to the band.
“I don’t think we would’ve made an album if Larry hadn’t been able to play. We would’ve just gone, ‘Why? Why make an album without Larry Mullen on it? Doesn’t feel right.'”

I never in a million years thought the president and First Lady of the United States would be targeting me personally and trying to hurt my kids, just because I used my voice to call them out.

For the many and not the few.. have you got some umbrellas? Any rubber mats? Rain changed the plan, but our wonderfully kind neighbours welcomed us into their home, and the balcony became the stage… That’s how U2 ends up in your kitchen.
So this is the story on this. Guy gave me a sample in the hall by the hotel kitchen in Park City, as I was leaving a speaking event.
He just emailed me saying that doing so got him fired.
So I thought I would help him out !

This is shattering news. What a wonderful person, artist and collaborator. I was lucky enough to direct, produce and act in projects with her and she was simply growing more brilliant with each year. My heart goes out to Bo & family. #RIPCatherineO’Hara https://t.co/7pWcpYARai
VENEZUELA IS SURROUNDED BY OUR FORCES. TRUMP IS SCHEDULED TO ADDRESS THE NATION TOMORROW. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
EPSTEIN FILES ARE DUE IN THREE DAYS.
Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.
Alex, the US taxpayer rarely pays doctors directly. They typically send money to states (Medicaid) Hospitals and Providers(traditional Medicare), to insurance carriers (MA and ACA), and indirectly through tax savings for individuals and employers )
You are right that we overpay. We spend far too much on healthcare.
We overspend because we send the most money to the carriers and give them every good reason, to scale as big as possible , to contract at inflated prices, to invent fees and to delay and deny care when they can. Then there are the PBMs etc etc
Break up the big carriers by vertical , make intercompany transfers at Medicare rates or best price until then , remove formularies from their PBMs, make extra cash purchase count against the deductible , make non profit hospitals and providers publish every general ledger entry , stop 340b abuse, I can go on for days on how we can reduce the cost of healthcare.
As far as over treating , there are lots of reasons. Lots of paperwork, lots of lawsuits, lots of economic incentives to generate more revenues.
But of all I just mentioned, the people that benefit the least financially, are the actual caregivers. Doctors and nurses get shit on regularly. They should be able to open their own practice and survive financially. They shouldn’t be at the mercy of insurance companies. They should get the same Medicare rates that hospitals get for the same work.
The best part of this is that you can help. Where do you get your insurance and who is your PBM Alex ?
How many companies have you educated to walk away from the biggest insurance carriers and their PBMs ?
