So Clueless, It Has to Be Deliberate

"Dumpster diving isn’t a new phenomenon in Venezuela, but it is a growing one. Venezuela was once South America’s richest nation, but a fall in oil prices combined with other economic problems has sparked desperation."

That's REALLY what the article said - other economic problems - and ALL it said.  Not, "a deliberate policy program based off socialist ideology that has destroyed production of nearly all goods" but "other economic problems."  Why didn't they just say, "bad luck?"

Wow.

Economic Numbers Make Obama Look Like as Asshole in Real Time

Love it.  The day after Lightworker Person says, effectively, 'you're an idiot if you think the economy is bad," we get a terrible jobs report, the worst in quite awhile.

Cash on the Barrel Healthcare Proceeding...

I've been saying it for awhile (here, here, here and here)...doctors will increasingly ditch insurance in favor of direct payment.  You know...like, actual payment for things...cash or credit card...remember those? 

Remember, insurance isn't healthcare, it's only a means to pay for healthcare, you can have all the insurance you want and if a doctor wants cash, well...SOL for you!

All is proceeding as I have foreseen.
