“Why I no longer believe that government healthcare can work.”
After many decades, we need to reintroduce markets to the healthcare industry.

A Next-Gen “Space Station”
This seems a tad ambitious. But it would be pretty cool.
Health-Care Costs
How to dramatically reduce costs, without “Medicare For All” (which would quickly mean Medicare For None).
One of the infuriating things about the health debate was the false notion that we who don’t want the government to take it over think that the system is fine, or don’t have any ideas how to fix it. The Left just doesn’t like them, and as with climate, it’s not about the policy, it’s about control.
The Hockey Stick
What does the lawsuit loss for Mann mean? Why indeed was he unwilling to respond to the discovery?
Dave Brubeck’s “Time Out”
How it changed jazz.
Yes, a classic album. My sister went to music school in Ann Arbor with his son, Chris.
[Afternoon update]
I had not realized that Joe Morello started out as a violinist. How often does someone go from violin to drums?

The top 100 jazz albums you should own. With a meditation on the art.

A Powerhouse
I’m shopping new processor and motherboard, and I’m looking at this. But check out the first question and answers about it.
[Monday-morning update]
After a little research, I’ve decided to purchase the 3600, not the 3600X. It’s fifty bucks less, and as far as I can tell, almost no performance difference. Worst case is I might have to spend a little more for a better cooler.
AOC
Was Chakrabarti the power behind the throne (and the Twitter account)?
I have to say that if he was the brains of the outfit, the outfit is only slightly more brainless now.
Crime In Spaaaaaaace
This is a dumb story. The first crime in space should have to involve doing something that could only be done in space. She could have done this from anywhere; she just happened to have been in space when she did it.
I will say that I did not know (or care) that Anne McClain was a lesbian.
Autonomous Vehicles And Drones
I’ve been worried about this for a long time, because there’s no obvious (at least to me) answer: How do we prevent them from becoming weapons? And not just weapons of war, but of domestic assassinations?
Nuclear Power
What Hollywood scripts would look like if the scriptwriters understood it.
Now do space.
