We have antitrust laws on the books. What we need is deregulation of healthcare so entrepreneurs can compete to lower prices and improve quality.

People are greedy in every industry. In industries without regulation, high levels of competition keeps prices low and quality high. Once we deregulate, entrepreneurs like me will start health care companies to compete with the old players,

You are rightfully angry that healthcare is 27% of our GDP. But you have been tricked by big pharma and big hospitals and doctors into believing it's all the fault of insurance companies. I don't like insurance any more than you d

The real enemy here is the regulatory capture of the health industry preventing competition. $3,000 a night for a hospital bed, $350,000 a year on average for a doctor, and double profits being made by pharma and medical devices companies.

You are angry at the wrong party. Health insurance companies exist just to hide the underlying costs of the real problem: hospitals that charge $3,000 per night for a bed, doctors that make $300,000 a year on average, pharmaceutical and med

I find LinkedIn super cringey and full of desperation. I vastly prefer X and the unvarnished honesty there.

Great post! I have had a lot of trouble getting approved to run X ads.

Horrifying. AI just makes stuff up, meaning that these police reports will have false information that could result in prison time.

I am Choctaw myself. I recognize the tribes are socialist institutions meant to divide rather than unite now.

I was born in Washington state, raised here, and currently farm in Eastern Washington. Every single farmer and person I know wants more dams and more irrigation. I have never met a Republican who supports dam removal.

ChatGPT gives very confident and superficially well written answers that are almost always wrong in multiple areas. This is a miscarriage of justice.

Unpopular opinion: X is the best social network now because of Community Notes that tell you after the fact if a post you liked was misinformation and often warns you in real time as well. You can also have long form posts on there now. Rea

The right to express your ideas without having an algorithm bury them because they are from the left or right should be enshrined in all of our constitutions. X has done this, and has a good method for dealing with misinformation in Communi

People often do not realize that slavery was common in every culture on the planet up until the Industrial Revolution set us all free. Oil went to work instead of human backs. We have viable replacements like nuclear, but it has been over-r

Farmer here. Americans passed strict, expensive to follow rules protecting workers and the environment. But then Americans also allow cheap imports from places that trash the environment and harm workers. This is why we need tariffs.
