Smith understood that capitalists hate capitalism. They don't want to compete with one another, because that would interfere with their ability to raise the prices their customers pay and reduce the wages they pay their workers.

As an A+++ personality, I read ALL the instructions. I consolidated my loans and my payments as instructed. I submitted my Certification of Employment paperwork every year beginning 2010
Back then, there was no tracking system, so I made one. I was counting my payments, ticking off progress to #120. In 2012, I was told, for the first time, that I had not read the fine print carefully enough

My Dad, Felix, proudly served the US as a RECON Marine. He was stationed at Camp Lejeune in the 1960s during a water contamination that resulted in lymphoma later in life. This is a travesty that has impacted 1000s and that the US govt acknowledges. He died over Christmas (1/7)
in the exceptional #VA hospital of southwest Virginia. He had contracted #COVID and it had damaged his lungs to the point where he could not breathe or survive without 60L of high flow O2. His doctors and nurses were remarkable on all levels. He was vaccinated, but (2/7)
his lymphoma made his B cells unable to generate antibodies. His VA doctor explained how she had many men with my Dad’s lymphoma that could not make antibodies and had an unusually poor prognosis with COVID even with monoclonal antibody treatment— just not getting better. (3/7)

Amazing @MikhailaAleksis Peterson had @slsatel & I talk about the opioid crisis, govs failed response💊

Mass patient abandonment via Opioid Prohibition🤯
#chronicpain #opioidcrisis #Dopesick #DopesickHulu #crime #JordanPeterson #JoeRogan @jordanbpeterson
In this interview @MikhailaAleksis:
Why are patients being abandoned en mass?

How did the opioid crisis happen?
Why are all efforts by public health failing?
@joerogan @dr4liberty @GhanaboyPharmd @sullydish @bdomenech @wil_da_beast630 @brad_polumbo @LPNH
We had 100K overdose deaths in 2021,
despite opioid prescriptions being at historic lows

Millions suffering & dying needlessly
How F#$% did this happen?😠

‼️#Seditionist Fi Duong allegedly showed 2 @FBI agents a former prison in Lorton #VA, where he said he was planning to test a batch of Molotov cocktails.

“Technically, you’re engaging in war or conflict. But again, what is the price we ultimately pay for peace?”

NOT tourists.🤬
At Duong’s home, an undercover agent saw multiple firearms & ammunition. Militiamen discussed weapons & training in physical fitness, hand-to-hand combat & driving. They planned to obtain a private internet server so members could “subvert potential law enforcement surveillance.”
Duong told the undercover agent on an encrypted messaging app about his own surveillance of the Capitol, mentioning that one of his “guys” was putting together a report on the size, activity, location, uniforms, time and equipment of law-enforcement personnel.

NOT tourists.🤬

This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: 🇺🇸 Keeping Faith with Our Veterans and Military Families
🇺🇸Only one party believes that our force is stronger when we treat our service members, veterans, and their families with the dignity they’ve earned. 1/12
#Democrats believe that our force is stronger when it reflects the richness and diversity of American society, and when we treat our service members, veterans, and their families with the dignity they’ve earned. 2/12 #DemPartyPlatform #MilitaryFamilies
#Democrats will protect and enhance opportunities for anyone who can meet the standards to serve in combat roles, and we will fight the scourge of rape and sexual assault in our military, end retaliation and impunity, and take care of survivors. 3/12 #DemPartyPlatform

‼️A day before the #TrumpCoupAttempt, an @FBI office in #VA issued an explicit internal warning that extremists were preparing to travel to DC to commit violence and “war.”

ARREST EVERY TRAITOR.🤬

#GOPSedition #TrumpTraitor
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
This FBI warning *contradicts* a senior official’s declaration that the FBI had no intelligence indicating anyone at last week’s pro-Trump protest planned to do harm.

#coverup #TrumpInsurrection #GOPSedition

😱An FBI report approved for release the day before the #TrumpInsurrection painted a dire portrait of dangerous plans, including individuals *sharing a map of the complex’s tunnels* and possible rally points for conspirators to meet in KY, PA, MA and SC and head in groups to DC.

OMG, sick POS!

Former #Veterans Affairs Doctor Jonathan Hates of WV pled guilty to violating veteran’s civil rights & abusive sexual contact for sexually abusing patients under the guise of osteopathic treatment.

#VA
This guy had no legitimate medical reasons to do this stuff.

I wonder if he was one of the VA employees who couldn’t be fired before POTUS got the rules changed. Image
Ahhh, crap....I just noticed I made a typo or it was autocorrected.

His name is Jonathan YATES, not Hates, although he should be hated!

#Opioid tapering is "extremely difficult" for people w/ #ChronicPain, "not only in those w/ problematic opioid use."

Kurita: Worsened pain &/or function led more than half of those studied to stop scheduled dose reduction of 10% or 20% per week. /thread onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
1b/ Kurita: Altho 40 of 75 didn't complete the taper, researchers found "improvements after opioid treatment stabilization was achieved," suggesting stabilization (whether at a dose or at 0 dose) is a preferable goal to forcing everyone off rx #opioids.

Stopping can be fatal.
2/ Glanz: "Attempts to adhere to prescribing guidelines may lead patients to be exposed to variability in #opioid dosing." Dose variability of 30% or more increases the risk of overdose more than 300%.

Glanz et al. JAMA Network Open. 2019;2(4):e192613.
