I'm a bit lucky that I bought a barbell, squat rack and bench 2 years ago trying to save on gym fees. I can't imagine what my fellow strength trainers are doing.

COVID broke up our gym group. I think it caused one of our gym Bros to relapse into obesity. We did good, then bad, then we are good again. The long term effects of this virus will be felt in everything but the actual virus.

On a similar note, I run a popular (and probably the best) personal finance website on the internet. I use data and math to find the most optimal ways to eat, buy health insurance, etc... And everything is free. I make trivial amounts of mo

When you buy Apple products you promote their behavior. I consider it similar to buying BP gas.

Twitter is unusable if you want to avoid Politics. I unfriended almost everyone but all it takes is a single Like from anyone and it's Politics galore.

Medical care. You want medicine, you need to pay someone who's part of the Physician cartel, a pharmacy, a pharmacist, and whoever has the patent. With computers and science you often need 0 of these except the manufacturer of the drug

Just to clarify, all patients currently are accepted. There's no selection yet. There is a difference between hands on care for 1 hour, and 1 hour being divided between 9 people (seriously, there are some clinics that do that).

Mods have deleted this question with no reasoning- Why is the "science" solution to lockdown? This is a prioritization of a minority population at the expense of an overwhelming majority. Logic would say to prioritize (pick your n

You can only help 40 people per week without cutting down on the care. Another benefit for private pay is that you don't have to spend time on insurances or calling physicians for a prescription. I talk a big game about raising prices

There seems to be a lot to unpack, so sorry if this is jumping around but I tried to provide lots of details. My wife has worked at those places and the difference in patient outcomes is night and day. Sure some people will get better regar

Side note on billing. My wife's practice is finally hitting it's celing. She needs to either charge more or hire more doctors + get a bigger space. She is her brand, so we probably won't get more doctors. But we have slowly r
