Maybe there is proof to your first comment. I would remain more committed to a job that randomly gave me $100 once a year than a company that sponsored happy hours or (in the case of my last employer) had cookies and milk delivered. The big

I like the idea of trying to find a replacement for happy hour. I think the better idea is taking that money and randomly distributing it among employees. If the Company wasn’t going to pay for it, just letting me go home is a better idea.

If SoftBank hadn’t provided that exit package, they would probably have been crammed down by the JPMorgan proposal and lost every dollar. With this offer, they might be able to get 50% of their investment back. I imagine things like this ha

The banks who agreed to lend so much debt that they were barely able to make payments get off relatively free in these cases. There are plenty of instances where PE levers up and the companies do well but we don’t discuss those. Plus PE mak

If you are a parent, track how many times you say “no” or “don’t do that” or something similar to your child. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone always said “yes”? I think that is why imaginary friends come about the most.

The average multiple on a healthcare services business is 10x and HCIT assets are trading on revenue multiples. It works exactly like this everywhere. Livongo, Health Catalyst and Phreesia just went public at multiples that didn’t exist 5 y

Hospitals negotiate for the rate with the insurance companies, including Medicare. They don’t have to accept Medicare payments at all. It is the right price because that is what the group with the most bargaining power says it is. That does

I will pay $4,800 to cover a family of 4. If I need to use it, I have a $6,000 deductible (company pays first $4k and I pay last $2k). All doctor visits are 100% deductible until it is fully paid, then $50 / visit. The HSA can be used

You can't find out the price on most things and procedures that are the highest value (cancer care, dialysis, sickle-cell, etc.) are usually those with the least flexibility in price.

I haven’t seen many research reports where the quality of outcomes using the Davinci robot is far superior to normal surgery. The idea of a remote operator of that device is scary. That being said, the hubris of the surgeon who decided to u

I think the labels are more reliant on spotify at this point. Maybe you buy publishing rights for a lot of artists to be a label as there is no need for promotions for cds or interacting with radio stations

I think almost all problems we discuss every day: political divide, millennial job prospects, student loan debt, drug crises can be traced to wealth inequality. At it's core, all these problems evolve from unfettered capitalistic pursu
