Durability will be an issue for John Ross and his career will not live up to a #9 pick.

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

I don't know what it will take, but the post game press conference should be more than enough for the lingering supporters. #FireZacTaylor #Bengals #WhoDey

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

A win despite 12 penalties and head-scratching play calling. #Bengals #WhoDey

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

The Bengals, in an attempt to replace talented but troubled Jermaine Burton draft Colbie Young, a talented but troubled WR out of UGA. And by troubled I mean Young was arrested for assaulting a pregnant woman. #WhoDey

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

Alex Pretti was murdered. #AbolishICE

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

No surprise to Bengals fans. Either the Brown family is not willing to invest the resources needed to compete for championships. Which history suggests is likely. Or they are pathologically lacking in insight to think this staff, proven underachievers, will succeed. #WhoDey

I feel like, and I may be wrong, @mcuban and so many others fail to express is that healthcare is a deeply imperfect market thus markets can't solve the issue. I don't trust the federal government as a general rule but there's no market solution to US healthcare.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

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 ?

@SmallAdolf A loss would be a 20% win rate for the man in the only game that matters.

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

It's win or #FireRyanDay. #Buckeyes

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

1st and goal from the 2 and you gain 0 yards on 4 downs? #FireZacTaylor #WhoDey

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

And this is why I don't bet.

[Sven @Sophtaveus]

New England 7.5pt favorites? I don't bet but if I did I'd hammer the over. No Chase and has Vegas seen this Bengals defense? Come to think of it, has anyone seen our defense? It's M.I.A. #WhoDey #Everybody #EvenTheJets #FireZacTaylor

The most respectful thing ESPN could have done for Lee Corso's retirement, to honor his era of college football, was to fire Pat McAfee. Alas.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

I am pushing for a ban on single-stock trading in Congress. The American people deserve better than politicians like @RonWyden and @SpeakerPelosi with hedge-fund level returns. Public service should be about serving the people, not getting rich.
