Just got my new health insurance plan for 2025. $2,000 per month for healthy family of 5, $8,000 deductible, $120 office visits, no dental or vision. We need to stop punishing the self-employed and rewarding the illegals and lazy.

Drumming up more medical codes is a gigantic money-maker for UnitedHealth, specifically for Medicare Advantage patients. If you control the doctor and inculcate a habit of slapping diagnoses on patients, you make a mint — all from taxpayers. statnews.com/2024/07/25/unit…

Love all your thoughtful posts. Yet, I await the posts on this holiday so I can be part of your sharing and share with others. Thank you @hussmanjp
Terri and I usually start the day with a meditative reading of one kind or another. William Sloane Coffin is a minister and former Chaplain at Yale. His book Credo is a favorite.

Hedge funds don’t have a performance problem, they have a *fee* problem. A diversified portfolio of HFs has delivered returns higher than stocks with lower vol and less drawdowns before fees. Trouble is the fees make the manager rich at the investors expense. Cool perspective:
At age 25, you give your hedge fund manager $100K to manage, and he produces an annual return of 8%. Assuming a 1.5% management and 20% performance fee, by the time you retire at 65, you will have $764K. But the manager will have $1.24M (at zero initial investment!)

I don’t wish to sound apocalyptic about this, but one has the sense that at present our society is simultaneously characterized by wildly disproportionate accountability for trivial transgressions and zero accountability for profound institutional failure.

Off the top of my head: @tendayiviki @hughmolotsi Sameer Dua Declaring Breakdowns, Fernando Flores Conversations for Action, create a balance in the information you collect.
This nice young man needs suggests for good business books not written by white men. Can anyone help?

Love it that we see results of greater equality. Let’s celebrate. Let’s also continue to seek equality. Well educated people are of national value.
How do be your future self with your present, prospective ideas. Exercises like pre-mortems and careful assessments of prefs, payoffs and probabilities.
One of the problems with low hanging fruit.

Amazing observation. High stakes decisions are the shear zones of discomfort.
You don't get a meaningful career or raise a family or leave the world a better place without stress and discomfort. Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life.

We are humans not inanimate ingredients to simply be “mixed” into solutions.
The benefits of diverse teams can go unrealized unless there is #psychologicalsafety. Enjoyed this collab with @HenrikBresman for @HarvardBiz.
We love to “take a pill” to solve the problem rather than prevent.
Odd that drivers of fuel efficient cars often get more Green-praise than people who chose to live where they can walk to work.
Excellent. Courage—listening to your body…
