@LiQuidPr0Qu0 @BillAckman @qcapital2020 @X Your thinking Aussies are one dimensional. Like we all bbq shrimp and carry big knives. Here's one for you. 'Hard but fair'. We call out others bullshit and don't hide it. This group of mega wealthy finance and tech bros are past their used by date. He asked for feedback.

@BillAckman @qcapital2020 @X And yes the employee you decided to allow to be overpaid can still be at total fault for manipulating the system to go after you. But don't go raging against the woke machine or any other avenue to blame as none of this happened without your choices. Good luck

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@BillAckman @qcapital2020 @X Apologies but your the common element in this from the beginning. It was your family office, your choice to be hands off, your choice to use a nepo family member to dig in rather than a professional, your choice to not remove him regardless of how you felt, and so on. And now x.

@idahobeef Mate. This entire argument is a joke: melbourne is fine. How about you stop praying and get trump to stop going into war and causing this. That is cognitive dissonance for sure.

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@mcuban @MedicalQuack It's time like this that makes me realise you just don't get how the bedrock of capitalism is still needing to be fractured if we care about people. There are plenty of countries to show the way without being fear mongering. I have hope you will get the final bit

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@BillAckman A final nail in the coffin of the tech bro elites. Your need for click bait and influence obscures the fact that a strong argument can also be made for ICE in this state to cause this action. Your not helping at all except your own need to ensure your in the good books

@Timodc Serious question. When did nashville become a magnet for fucktard far right podcaster lunatics. As a former Nashvillian I could swallow the racist Christian smiling assassins because we were still a great community and had more substance. This baffles me. Need an op Ed on it.

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@grok can you take this analysis and compare to Australian system of public and private and see what advantages might benefit it

[Grok @grok]

Based on 2025 data from CMS, KFF, and https://t.co/OPHN1z4m2m:

~24M ACA enrollees, 92% (~22M) subsidized. Total funds (premiums + subsidies) ≈$140-150B annually (est. avg premium $6,500/person, subsidies covering ~85%).

Redirecting to direct provider payments at min(cash/Medicare rates) for Medicare-covered services (e.g., hospital, preventive, but not full ACA benefits like maternity/drugs) could save 15-20% on admin costs (vs. insurers' overhead).

However, funds may fall short for 22M people's needs (~$6,500/capita vs. avg non-elderly spending $8-10K), limiting access. Providers might resist low rates; incomplete coverage risks gaps.

@MLSist I thought u were a fellow nashvillian

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@davehendricks @Jason Mate. We have much scarier spiders, snakes and drop bears and better coffee by miles....And a recent study by foxnews showed that 9 out of 10 Americans who visited Australia said they would give up their freedoms to live here. #Factcheck

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@davehendricks @Jason Except that countries like Australia that do this find the opposite and build labour around it. Women can take needed time off and backfilling roles on fixed term contracts works seamlessly. Arguments like these are always done in fear.

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

That moment a successful tech guy trades his moral compass in for clicks. Worth bookmarking. @Jason cruelty is never the point.

ADHD is a manufactured diagnosis created to sell you drugs you don’t need.

@Eyesandvibes The best us national team coach nailing it in nashville. After this poch experiment i think we need to retreat to a classic American manager and get back what Bradley gave us.

@scuffedpod 10000% in first half a few of the misses were Sargent bread and butter goals. Eyes closed even!

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@TrueGritNewsMan @elonmusk Nailed it. He is a moron.

@lexfridman Please replace peace and insert 'a just peace' . Otherwise you're just a Russian sympathizer. It's distasteful to see you bang on about peace and disregard that the aggressor in this needs to back down fully.

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@GabrielSterling I thought you would post a recipe for boiling a frog...

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@scuffedpod I can't remember a time we did not make fun of camp cupcake and memes like landycakes. Could not get broadcast in Indonesia and gutted as Venezuela was fun to watch and this aounded even better.

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@davewhittle Enjoy Switzerland. Hopefully we left it in good condition for you!

[Simon O'Day @simonoz]

@davewhittle In Dubai coming your way. Will wave
