I would say the pre money moniker is accurate. If it is not in the beginning that soon fades.

Medicine is mostly about money now and nobody making it ever believes they have enough.

Thank you for sharing that. I fear the only way to stop their global enslavement is a full on great depression. And that would be OK for me, take us back to a saner time when cash was king and no one had to pay for everyone else’s credit debt.

Just wait until your modified adjusted gross income reaches one penny over the IRMA limit and the cost of your medicare premium more than doubles. The cost of your traditional medicare and supplement will go from about $8,000 to well over $17,000 a year. Welcome to the USSA where success is punished for life.

I do not foresee a "global enslavement," for the local populace would act, as one saw the Nepal Parliament building burn, or the current protests across France, and so on.

I also don't fear another depression. Those heavily "exposed" will be heavily affected, less "exposed" less, and so on.

Years ago, I'd come across Helen Keller's lovely and wholly naive allegiance to socialism, and learned that she thought "everyone working for everyone" would work out. Missing in that equation was the whole bundle of folks who refuse real work. This is why all social welfare schemes have to collapse over time. I think we are seeing this in Europe right now. In slow motion, perhaps, but ongoing none the less.

The same seems to apply to the "I'll hold your money, folks" schemes like "funds."

All schemes function for a time. The clear Ponzi scheme functions up until the "last fool in" moment, and then "poof." While they function, they get the best press, after all.

A look to the Fed's debt to GDP chart shows our latest Ponzi writ large. Other nations all around the world show quite the same. And the EU Commission types want to float more "bonds." Schemes. They work and get great press reviews. Until they don't.

Best wishes.

It seems high since those people under age 65 do not usually have that many medical problems.

2/3 - 3/4 of Americans took the CoVID genetic treatment(s) that changes their DNA. Now we have turbo-cancers.

Good to know about nicotine at this time.

Healthcare isn’t about health. It’s a business that forwards double billing to Medicare, charging stupid prices… $15,000 for a 10 minute ride to the hospital. big pharma in bed with polititicans. On the flip side, we have people who go to the doctor because they’re lonely, tremendous numbers of illegals swarming emergency rooms.

Anything to do with pills, injections, surgery is crooked as hell.
