It won’t change everything.
I’m wondering how and if it will compete with the satellite constellations.
A Health-Care Win
Thanks to Trump, hospitals will have to disclose prices for procedures starting in 2021.
What a concept.
[Late-morning update]
Hospitals sue to be allowed to keep their prices secret.
Gosh, it’s almost as though they have something to hide.
Back Update
The bad news is that I can’t get an epidural until December 16th. The good news is that maybe I don’t need it. I’m no longer in back pain, though the problem has migrated lower into my upper thigh, making me a little gimpy. On the other hand, that’s getting better, too. At this rate, I should be back to normal this weekend. Now I have to start some strength training to prevent a recurrence.
The Impeachment Clown Show
Star clown Al Greene complains that there was insufficient racial diversity among the witnesses. Meanwhile, Jonathan Turley shot down many of the Dem’s “arguments” in flames.
[Update a while later]
Green’s complaint is pretty hilarious, given that the witnesses were selected by Democrat leadership.
Not surprising, of course, since the Democrat Party is traditionally the party of racism.
[Update a few minutes later]
Turley: Under the Dems definition of abuse of power, Obama could have been impeached.
He should have been, actually.
Advanced Space Propulsion
It’s the power supply, dummy.
I do think that ultimately, absent something like anti-matter, or perhaps fusion, beamed power is the solution to opening the solar system. It could either push sails, or provide power for electric propulsion.
Critical Thinking
Only 9% of fifteen-year olds can distinguish between written fact and opinion.
Sadly, the same is probably true of adults. As Glenn notes, it’s almost as thought this is a goal of the system.
Democrat Dismay
You’d have to have a heart of stone to read this without laughing out loud.
The reason that they can’t come up with any candidates who can beat Trump is that they insist on insane policies, and they’ve chased all the centrists out of the race.
Trolling, Trolling
Yes, rename the White House press room for Richard Jewell. Of course, many in the press corps will be to stupid to see the point.
Iran In Flames
…and thanks to Trump hatred, the “elites” didn’t even see it coming.
I remember a political cartoon from 1979, showing one spook talking to another: “Pssst, there’s a revolution happening in Iran.” The other one replies, “Quick, notify President Truman!”
One of the most shameful things that Obama did was to implicitly support the Mullahs during the Green Revolution, probably because that’s what Valerie Jarrett told him to do, and partly because he wanted to have them around in order to “negotiate” a shit “deal” with them.
California Residency
When it comes to paying taxes, you can check out of Hotel California, but you can never leave.
