United Healthcare had $6.06 billion in net income in the last quarter and American healthcare remains in an entirely different class from OECD countries, far more expensive both in per capital costs and in direct costs to patients, with far less coverage.

But sure, "positive effect."

All billionaires are creatures of the state, none would be billionaires without myriad interwoven government policies which maintain that status and provide it advantages.

Most in that position try to exploit the status and to exacerbate the collateral harms of those policies. That's bad.

A facile analysis-- some old leaders are good, and some young strivers are bad. Raskin and Nadler are both great, though.

I unsubscribed from the Washington Post and have not been watching MSNBC. But I still subscribe to 4 or 5 newspapers and many more Substacks and magazines. I’m not tuning out. I’m just tuning into different things.
