  1. Since Probst is open to negotiations, I would win the reward for sanctuary/letter from home, and then offer Jeff a deal where I drop out but replace myself with someone else. Sure it pandering but it doesn’t feel like anything negative will come out of it.
  2. One possible strategy for Sam and Genevieve is to conspire with the remaining underdogs to all dump Andy next. It’s doubtful any of them can trust him.
  3. Grapevine minister and substitute teacher found with the child videos and placing hidden cameras in a house.
  4. Sacks acts like he’s this independent billionaire who made it in his own but he’s a toady for Elon and Thiel. How nice for Elon that the AI czar will be able to slow down Open AI or Anthropic so Elon’s xAI can catch up. Gotta have competition here but god forbid if the govt helps other EV manufacturers.
  5. Amazing how the underdog allies didn’t appear to doubt Andy’s commitment for a second when he came back from sanctuary. Or at least we didn’t see it.
  6. Genevieve and Sam almost assuredly threw the comp. If either had won immunity, it would have eliminated the need to split the vote. Good on Rachel to win but the competition was lacking. if Rachel had lost, I would have bet that she would have played the block a vote if not just flat out used her hidden idol.
  7. Rule 1 is never buy a meme coin. The suckers benefit the rest of us. Most likely a fair amount of their losses get rolled up into eth, solana or btc. I hate to benefit from the ignorance of others but this occurs in everyday investments, credit card rewards, etc.
  8. Don’t we spend over $4.5T on healthcare? $50b isn’t that much. But I agree that efficiency and cost savings should be targeted.
  9. The govt programs (Medicare and Medicaid) only survive because commercially insured patients cover the real costs of doctors and hospitals. If we all switch to a govt system, the costs will go drastically up and/or care goes down. someone like Bernie goes on how much people love Medicare but he never addresses the other side of the equation. and I’m fine if we all switch to single payer if that is what we are agree about but realize that wait times will go up and care will go down. This type of system will negatively impact the vast majority. The poor and the wealthy will be the ones who benefit.
  10. insurance should never pay a dime for clinical trials. Or at least it should be an option that you must opt-in to a clinical trial policy in advance. OR the insurance company and their policy holders should share in any future profits of a trial.
  11. Gotta laugh at yourself. Trump politics being set aside, this is the party when long term hodlers finally sell. Except with fewer guests.
  12. Hyperbole much? How are insurance companies responsible for million of annual tragedies? Insurance companies don’t force hospitals, doctors, medical device companies, pharmaceutical to charge as much as they do. I’m not going to dox myself more with stating my background but I definitely don’t work or support insurance companies. they’re just part of the system that rations healthcare. america could offer 100% full healthcare with no authorizations required. You and your doc want something for you, you got it. Then your monthly premiums will be exponentially higher than today.
  13. I have to wonder what is the play for Sam and Genevieve from here? With Rachel’s Block a Vote, the new alliance is still effectively a minority even though it’s 3-3. I think they have to convince Sue that Rachel is running away with the show and sitting next to Rachel at the end is just a way to be the best loser. And that if Sue wants to win, she has to make a big move now.
  14. You’re describing a vocal minority of crypto people. And even they are hypocritical about their beliefs.
  15. A simple Dem strategy should just to say that some in the GOP are actually fighting Trump/Hegseth. Make the media go with the story about GOP infighting. The GOP has such slim margins in the house and senate. Stir the gop groups up against each other. but Dems suck at strategy.
  16. Why would DeSantis want the job? His current job ends in two years. He’s a lame duck governor right now and Trump will ensure the headlines stay in DC not Tallahassee. i do agree that DeSantis would be better off appointing himself as Rubio’s replacement. He can then be more independent in DC and appear nightly on TV. Is there a law preventing Ron from appointing himself? Does he meet the senate height requirement while barefoot?
  17. Unless you’re sitting on 100s of bitcoins or using some leverage play, no btc investor is that much wealthier than say 2 weeks ago but 100k was a huge psychological barrier to pass. one big change from previous bubbles is the rise of the institutional investors in btc. If anything the 100k headlines should bring more money into the ETFs and MSTR today, further increasing the btc price. 125 by Xmas isn’t impossible. Maybe next week. But I understand 80 is not off the table too.
  18. If anyone is cheering this guys death, they should most likely also be happy if their bosses at work are murdered for the same reason. If you work at a large employer, your employer is the one indirectly turning down any claim. They assume the financial risk not the ins company. The ins company is only handling the admin work for a fee. Ask your ceo about the percentage of employee claims that are denied? Zero chance that he will want to discuss that or get back to you. They hide behind the insurance companies.
  19. If DeSantis has decided that he wants to be SecDef, Pete is in trouble. Ron is a legit 2028 candidate and some gop senators will want to kiss up to him now, at least quietly. If Dems senators were smart about it, they would be playing games about Pete and the gop. Start making noise that you have an open mind about Pete. Force DeSantis to use more and more political capital. DeSantis doesn’t want to be the second choice after Pete loses the nomination. He wants Pete to drop out now.
  20. can we expel Cain and Baytown from Texas?
  21. Yes and in many ways more dangerous. Hegseth was going to be lost in the pentagon. DeSantis could actually get trumps bidding done.
  22. Lol. When these coins start pumping:
  23. I'm seeing some of my old shit coins making a strong comeback. Vechain (VET) up 260% over the last month. I don’t have lambo money in any of them but I need to figure out how to transfer coins out of these wallets today. not sure what to think of zombie coins coming back to life. I can understand and simultaneously laugh at brand new meme coin pumping and dumping. The originators are making a quick buck. But it’s not as easy to move a coin that went live 2017 if not earlier. Are we back to alt coin season?
  24. With reports of Pete Hegseth being a drunk, this could sink his nomination. Trump actually has a problem with people who drink too much especially to a point where it impacts their job. Perhaps he wouldn’t drop Pete solely for this reason, but Trump will have low patience in fighting for Pete.
  25. here is the text from Hunter's pardon. bolded mine.
