Is Actual Math not important in the Trump Administration?
Late last year, President Trump said he negotiated directly with drug companies and foreign countries to slash pharmaceutical prices. He said drugs and pharmaceuticals could be slashed by as much as 400%, 500%, and even 600%. If that's true, I want the name of his accountant. No item can be more than 100% off the actual price. Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., our Health Secretary, argued that the president uses a different math. He quoted as saying, "If you have a $600 drug, and

Why don’t I read the user manual instructions?
If a user manual is poorly written or isn't detailed enough, I will typically cast the user manual instructions to the side and put it together how I think it should be.

Trump has Done Nothing Wrong
Trump has done nothing wrong. This, according to one MAGA supporter I recently spoke with. Indeed, a comment like this needs a rebuttal. Again, facts are stubborn things and are not subject to opinions or biases.

Political Thoughts in Dire Times
Russia, Russia, Russia So, we declared war on Iran, and now oil prices have significantly increased. So, with at least a 20% increase in oil, which country benefits the most? A country that’s north, not close to the Middle East. I country that illegally invaded Ukraine. A country that wants to reclaim the territory that it lost after the Cold War. Yes, Russia is getting more money for oil, which certainly helps them, especially with the war with Ukraine. Trump says he’s tryin

Knowing the Miracle Before It Happened
I knew about the results of the US versus U.S.S.R hockey match in 1980 before it was on tape-delay. Having to watch the game while the majority of others didn't know the results was a painful and challenging endeavor.

Why Not Bribe If You Can Afford To?
On February 9, the NYTimes published an article called: “Bridge Owner Lobbied Administration Before Trump Blasted Competing Span to Canada.” Essentially, this article is about opening a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor (the US and Canada) to help streamline trade between the countries. Currently, there is a monopoly in which one family (The Morouns) owns the only other bridge between these two cities. However, powerful people in the US (not interested in representing al

What is Truly Wrong with This Man?
This article merely outlines some of the things Trump has done and said over the last few weeks. Will this ridiculousness ever stop??? He doesn’t want to release funding for a major rail tunnel in NYC until Penn Station and Dulles Airport are renamed after the president. He hosted a Governors' meeting at the White House, but he’s only inviting Republicans. Is this how we're making America great again? His Truth Social account recently added a video portraying the former presi

Political Satire Unlimited
Reading the Epstein files, I think it’s time for the federal government to take action. Perhaps not the kind of action people think. These alleged women today claim that famous and wealthy bank execs, politicians, and business leaders engaged in sex while they were underage, which is a farcical charge. I believe this is a conspiracy, but not the type you're thinking of. You see, most wealthy individuals (through the two releases of the Epstein files) claim they didn’t know Je

A Missed Process Improvement Opportunity, or Two
I volunteer at a local hospital in the area, working a four-hour shift each week. I work in Guest Services, which means I'm behind the counter at one of the two hospital entrances, greeting guests and patients. Essentially, we deliver flowers to patients, push certain patients and guests in wheelchairs, and direct or walk visitors to the right areas. From my perspective, it’s only four hours per week, but if you do it for several years, you get a good idea of how the organiza
