The US economy added a whopping 353,000 jobs last month, far more than the 176,500 jobs expected. It's yet another data point that underlines the country's economic strength, even in the face of 11 rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

This guy is a hard core Nazi traitor who tried to violently overthrow our democratic government. He literally attended the coup kickoff meeting from before the election. He deserves 400 years in jail, not 4 months.

Complete waste of time. Senate waste pass idiotic bill. Biden wont' sign idiotic bill. The could have played video games and been just as productive. An actual bill must include aid to Ukraine and Gaza as well. And not include an unrelated ploy to make it easy for billionaire elites to cheat on taxes.

These events are symptoms of the deeper malaise in America’s dysfunctional health-care system. The country spends about $4.3trn a year on keeping citizens in good nick. That is equivalent to 17% of gdp, twice as much as the average in other rich economies. And yet American adults live shorter lives and American infants die more often than in similarly affluent places. Pharmaceutical firms and hospitals attract much of the public ire for the inflated costs. Much less attention is paid to a small number of middlemen who extract far bigger rents from the system’s complexity.

Over the past decade these firms have quietly increased their presence in America’s vast health-care industry. They do not make drugs and have not, until recently, treated patients. They are the intermediaries—insurers, pharmacies, drug distributors and pharmacy-benefit managers (pbms)—sitting between patients and their treatments. In 2022 the combined revenue of the nine biggest middlemen—call them big health—equated to around 45% of America’s health-care bill, up from 25% in 2013. Big health accounts for eight of the top 25 companies by revenue in the s&p 500 index of America’s leading stocks, compared with four for big tech and none for big pharma.

This is not actual real news. It's bullshit from a billionaire bought and controlled far right "news" site designed to get more gigantic tax cuts for billionaire elites. Loser Trump's mindless rambling shows way more signs of dementia than either Moscow Mitch or Dark Brandon.

Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump's Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.

Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]

STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.

He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.

Thanks conservatives. Yes I know you are anti-science. Yes I know you are in favor of privatized profits and socialized losses even when you get no share in the profits. But why did you stupidly fuck up the whole world? You live on the same planet.
