If your policy idea sounds nice in the abstract but doesn't take into account implementation challenges, second-order effects, or the possibility of unintended consequences, then it's actually a bad idea. Even more so if it violates individual rights.

WHY did they switch the order? Museum exhibit designer must have known. #modernmajorgeneral

The season of chair geometry. Congrats, classes of '26, everywhere.

Can't do much until it's legal. "A patient-driven framework for use of MDMA and related compounds, informed by shared decision making, could preserve patient agency while helping to elucidate the conditions under which psychotherapy is most effective." nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Well in your book you said the statue in Times Square. But if it were Valentine's Day and you were a couple of romantics, you'd make it the top of the Empire State Building ☺️ youtu.be/Jk3UBPFg8AE?is=rzW4…

Corporate Practice of Medicine laws were intended to protect physicians from corporate control. But in fact they disarm physicians against corporations, including PE-backed takeovers. Doctors should embrace business, not insulate themselves from it. pod.link/1822785067/episode/…

Which is gaudier? More tasteless? For me it's deadlocked.

Excited to have an article coming out soon in @LawLiberty that tackles an important but under-acknowledged problem in healthcare. Follow me and/or them, and/or @Liberty_Fund to catch it. #suspense 😀

It's kinda like he's still here. Thank you, @AnikaNilles. youtu.be/tsAgGYM8_-A?t=1164&…

Is a PBM merely a vendor selling services to an employer, or is it an agent exercising delegated authority over the employer's pharmacy benefits?

Everybody seems to hate Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) right now. But how are they *actually* using force or fraud against pharmacists or employers or consumers, and not just clout? A first thought might be to say that PBMs are violating their fiduciary duty. But that's weak because PBMs are not automatically fiduciaries in the way that trustees and lawyers are. If an employer agrees to contract terms that let the PBM do all the various bad stuff (rebates, spread pricing, etc.), then that's a dead end. The PBM can say that it never promised to act solely in the employer's interest. BUT I wonder if you could rightfully argue that the employer was induced into the relationship under false pretenses. For instance, if you went back through the sales communications and all the PBM people were saying "We work for you" and "We negotiate the best prices on your behalf," seems like you'd have a foot in the door for arguing fraud, which I assume could nullify the contract. To me, putting the focus there is better than playing whack-a-mole with all the different practices. @SenWarren @HawleyMO @mcuban

I've listened to this 6 times today. It's just that kind of chill Sunday.

Holding off on mowing in the spring so the new grass seed can take hold is basically the Stanford marshmallow test for dads.

Nobody wants to make tough end-of-life decisions for themselves or their loved ones. So we just turn the spending spigot on and pretend it comes at no cost to other priorities. How do we navigate out of this trap?

Every e-bike rider I've ever seen zooming around after dusk has had woefully inadequate lighting, particularly on the headlights. (The taillights are sometimes okay.)

Happy June 6th. PSA: If your family, like ours, is looking to watch The Longest Day, here's the version you want. It has English subtitles when the German characters are speaking (unlike the versions on YouTube). archive.org/details/the.-lon…
