@naval This is completely true!

Now, ask yourself what it portends for Naval's definitions of "functioning" and "merit-based" (in the context of merit being mutually exclusive of participation, which he implies).

@RussoHockey PK was solid, that is the positive from this one.

@PAHoyeck he can't keep getting away with this

@SethyPoker I voted $200, but this is a dumb scenario to say "double or nothing" to, because it's effectively the same thing as saying, "go again?" and the latter is clearer.

@TseLabs @Jimbohdtu @mcuban I'm well aware that goes into the cost of A, as do a number of other vital overhead costs. The problem is that this information is not itemized and transparent in a way where we can discuss it other than conceptually. That's a problem.

@TseLabs @Jimbohdtu @mcuban Insurance inefficiency is also real, but it doesn't address this gap between A & B. That was all I was trying to say.

[Reader @Xdotcomreader]

@TseLabs @Jimbohdtu @mcuban Consider 2 different figures for a given medical service:

A) The lowest possible cost the service could be provided at ("cost plus" some minimally necessary margin)

B) What the hospital charges for it

The spread between A & B is often enormous, but invisible to consumers.

[Reader @Xdotcomreader]

@TseLabs @mcuban Not a bad idea but it also changes zero about the incentives driving the cost of care upwards.

@theJayAlto And who wouldn't want this life?

[Reader @Xdotcomreader]

@PAHoyeck @MattLutzPhi Vibe check: true

[Reader @Xdotcomreader]

"I don't want to care, but I do."

What name is given to this phenomenon in the human experience?

[Reader @Xdotcomreader]

@DutchRojas @mcuban's open source contracts might help. I say "might" only because I've been in the rooms where these decisions are made...

@PaulCharchian You know, Charch, from a standpoint of a tweet that kinda implies a degree of a sort of egotism self defense, I'd say that the tweet you just laid out here, for all of the platform to see, really carried with it a message that cut to the heart of that implication.
