Refugee policies give Australia's global reputation a beating

RAND and the Moral Hazard: Healthcare Triage #10

As we've explained in previous episodes, insurance is complicated. Even John gets confused (watch the video!). But there's a reason we have all these deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance. It's because of the moral hazard, and a very important research study known as the RAND Health Insurance Experiment. Watch this episode and learn all about it.

Americans Are Just Beginning To Unleash Their Superpower!

March 2, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

American Consumer Spending Makes Up 70% of the GDP. This is an American Superpower that has been largely untapped until now. Consumer boycotts are springing up all over the country, targeting companies, corporations, and organizations whose values are opposed to the wishes and votes of the American Voter.

The Real Destroyer of Democracy is the Republican Party – And Here’s How to Stop Them

February 21, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

The Real Destroyer of Democracy is the Republican Party and here’s how to STOP them. I love this country and Democracy but what Trump and Doge are doing is Anti-Democratic. They don’t want to help Americans – they want to steal from Americans. After all of their rummaging and pillaging of the Government payment system, […]

Democracy Needs Your Help

February 17, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

I use to believe that democracy needed two parties since the exchange of ideas made our Democracy stronger. The Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln. It’s a cult whose fealty is to Trump, a dangerous and some say, sociopathic narcissist, who seems bent on concentrating all power in himself,  stealing money through […]

Unlike Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud which were not supported by any evidence evidence of Trump’s muyoltiple crimes are in plain […]

Trump’s Supreme Court Gets It Wrong – Many Americans Will Die!

December 1, 2020 By D Alert Leave a Comment

The Conservative Trump Supreme court gets it wrong and many Americans will die. The conservative Trump court voted against New York’s 10 and 25 person capacity limits.
