MWD said in the substack that addresses this very thing is that it is less than $5.

Note: good background on tue current lobbying to get Medicare to cover it and the reasons why it currently is not.

Ditto on not watching. I thought about it, but I have had a lot going on the last couple of days that already has me upset and I just couldn't afford to expend the energy. I knew I could count on my pedes though. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!

One of the guys on Badlands alluded to this - the analogy was the renter trashing the house when they are getting evicted. The DS has lost - but how much damage are they going to do as they are getting thrown out?

The victims don't speak out. She just dismisses them.

The Bologna family was big news at the time it happened and a lot of criticism was leveled at her at the time. Articles referencing criticism of her have been pretty well scrubbed (MS-13 involved, sanctuary city, death penalty was taken off the table) but I found this which gives a pretty good overview:

https://bostontimes.org/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-back-on-track-a-cautionary-tale-of-criminal-rehabilitation-and-sanctuary-city-policies/

Oh, but how very interesting- I did not know this but about a year ago, the wife who was very critical of Harris - was killed in a car accident with her daughter.

The California Highway Patrol said the driver of a 2020 Honda was traveling in the eastbound direction at a high rate of speed when he veered into the westbound lane "for an unknown reason."

Hmm...how convenient for Kamala.

Anything that has "experts say" brings to my mind some pinched nose asshole wagging fingers. And at this point, means a whole lot of nothing.

Jovan Pulitzer was on Roseanne Barr's podcast. He goes into a lot of detail on this. It is not just votes. It is more of a dark money pit. Something like a trillion dollars. It is a long podcast - 3 hours - but essentially he takes you through the process of how most of these people are not filing income taxes, even though they are given SSN numbers and how all the accounting works. I am not explaining it very well and I plan on going back to review it again, but worth checking out as there is more than meets the eye..

What do people who work at the WH think? Many of these people have been there for years - even generations. They are very tight lipped * but they have to be thinking WTF.

*I read a book a couple of years ago that interviewed the staff that work there - the butlers, maids, etc. Many have worked for multiple administrations - one guy interviewed had started when Eisenhower was in - and see their roles as to provide a home for the First Family. Some of it was a behind the scenes look at what was going on during pivotal moments - one story was about the night before Nixon resigned and he asked one of the pages to take a walk around with him. Some were more humorous. A maid shared that she had walked into the private residence to find Reagan out of the shower in all his glory. He was surprised. She was mortified and ran out of the room. The next day, he sees her in the hall and says to her, "Hey, who was that guy?" to put her at ease.

He said on Tucker he has spent $10M defending himself in these court cases to keep him OFF the ballot. Now they want to keep him on. These people have absolutely no shame because you can't make this shit up.

So, if he remains on the ballot, he should still be getting the belated USSS protection* he had for sbout two weeks, right?

*He is better off with his own, IMHO, but we need as many Socratic pills as we can get for those out there that keep hitting the snooze button.

I hear you fren - I know the revenue generation game very well and it is getting very scary out there. Mine currently is a "nice to have" industry. Our territory is not too bad, but definitely slow. Others are getting only a couple of appointments per week. You can't live on that. I interviewed when a recruiter reached out to me recently in my old industry (financial services) but it is quite interesting how everyone wants you to bring a book - no organic growth at all. I blame private equity which is pervasive in many sectors now. It's all about rhe EBITDA. Customers are a distant second and employees are waaay down the list.

And the false job postings- oh yeah. And internal hires do get preference. Which I get, but after awhile, it is a little soul sucking to repeatedly get to the final round and it fizzles out. I stopped telling people that I was interviewing. (I was out 18 months before I landed my current gig.)

Praying for you and your family.. Hang in there!

Someone better at tech than me should make a video of us regulars singing that song phrase one word at a time with a different instrument in the background and string it all together- kind of like Michael Jackson's Black or White (hell maybe AI can take a stab at it). Intersperse it with the man of the hour. Not an exact copy but at the end say any and all proceeds will go to Taylor Hawkins children.

I have nephews who in their early 20s. They have been on the Trump Train for awhile - and they are in SF.

I really like the podcast format. The hard part is time. I drive a fair amount in my job so I rotate between radio and podcasts but I find myself choosing lately because otherwise I don't have time to hangout with all you fine folks. 😁

That is a good point. I am so used to it and other "issues" that I forget some of this is "new" to others.
