  1. United Healthcare through its Optum subsidiary is by far the largest employer of physicians in the US.
  2. Steward, one of the main characters in the MPT story, was PE-backed Ponzi scheme that bought up distressed hospitals (St. Joe’s in downtown Houston being one of them) and then sold the real estate assets to MPT for inflated sums in order to quickly funnel cash back to investors. The hospitals that Steward owned were, at best, B-team players and already struggling financially when Steward acquired them. The one time I had to go to Dallas to meet with their C-suite, my immediate thought was that their lavish corporate HQ decidedly did not match the hospital facilities that they ran.
  3. Crisco
  4. Living in Austin isn’t the flex it was 20 years ago and recruiting in basketball isn’t like recruiting in football. Coaches recruit nationwide. The last time a tournament MOP was from Texas was 21 years ago in Emeka Okafor and he went to, checks notes, UConn.
  5. Turns out she had also attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah while she was in Lebanon. She also had photos of him and Iran’s supreme leader on her phone. These are not smart things for her to have done. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/17/us/brown-university-doctor-deported-hnk/index.html
  6. We’re on our fourth package at our house.
  7. The lege is really going after the furries and the anime dorks (probably quite a bit of overlap in that Venn diagram) this session.
  8. More like The Villas at McKinney Falls by DR Horton.
  9. I was told the children are gone.
  10. If this keeps up, and I have no reason to think it won’t, we’re going to see a dramatic drop in international travel to the US. It would not shock me in the least if second tier airports, like AUS, lose their transatlantic flights or, at the least, see a big drawdown in frequency.
  11. Anyone know how much of the production capacity at the Austin factory was predicated on Incel Camino sales projections?
  12. And people say Tech doesn’t take academics seriously.
  13. Probably best not to have your Air Force stocked with airplanes made by the country that’s about to invade you.
  14. Don’t worry a sticker makes it all cool.
  15. Fixed for accuracy.
  16. The insurance lobby likely approves of the cuts as cover to raise rates.
  17. Only a matter of time before all colleges and universities are remade into Trump University. Trump administration outlines ‘next steps’ toward restoring Columbia grants
  18. Tariffs will make up for it, duh. And the top of the end of earners in this country already don’t pay taxes, might as well let some on the lower end get in on the action.
  19. Oh, no. It’s the @Ag with kids and @Bozo_Casanova bat signal.
  20. This shit infuriates me. These people are supposed to represent the interests of their constituents. They are hearing, loudly, across this country that they are not happy with what is happening in DC. Instead of listening and saying “Hey, I hear you loud and clear and I don’t agree with all of this shit, either. It’s time for me to get back to DC and caucus with my colleagues to come up with a plan to stop this bullshit” they turn tail and hide. Spineless traitors with zero courage and with a singular interest of self preservation. Pieces of shit.
  21. I’ve been surprised that countries haven’t put targeted tariffs on Teslas. Then again, sales overseas seem to be sufficiently shitty even without tariffs.
