Florida votes tomorrow. Amendment 3 raises the non-school homestead exemption to $150K in 2027 and $250K in 2028, and cuts the yearly cap on non-homestead assessment increases from 10% to 5%. It needs 60% to pass. Vote Yes on 3.
Truly happy for the Brewers and their fans. Despite actively rooting against them most of the time (Cubbies fan) this playoff run was special and it was a great moment for a team that been competing at a high level for a lot of years now. Was happy to watch them make the Series and win it. I only wish Bob Uecker was there to see it.

In just the past seven years, property tax revenues across Florida’s 67 counties have increased nearly 100 percent. Local governments are taking in almost twice as much money—for more than the inflation in population has increased.
The State of Florida has reduced its budget FOUR YEARS in a row. Local governments can surely do the same.
Amendment 3 creates a path to full elimination of property taxes for homesteaded Floridians. It also provides immediate and meaningful relief for Florida residents by expanding the homestead exemption from non-school property taxes. Vote YES on Amendment 3!
Major FOMO from these videos of Metallica at the Sphere. Gonna need to do something about that.

Both Big Hospitals and Big Insurance are using AI tools to either seek more reimbursements or to deny more claims.
The result: AI providers make a lot of money, individuals pay higher premiums and have more denials, and nobody gets healthier.
🦔The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says insurers paid out nearly $1 billion more than usual from AI-assisted hospital documentation in 2024-2025. Hospitals use AI to scan records and find secondary diagnoses that human reviewers missed. More diagnoses means higher reimbursements. But treatment levels haven't gone up.
BCBSA's SVP of data science said AI is "identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients." Insurers now deploy their own AI to deny those same claims. Patients pay for both through higher premiums.
My Take
This might be the most American healthcare story I've ever read. Hospitals bought AI to find more things to bill for. Insurers bought AI to deny those bills. The technology cost money on each end and the tab went straight to patients through higher premiums. A billion dollars moved and no one got any healthier. The only thing that changed was the size of the invoices.
Two sides of a trillion-dollar industry found a new tool to fight over the same pool of money and the person in the hospital bed pays for all of it. Premiums go up, denials go up, and the AI vendors collect from everyone. If you want to know who AI works for, stop reading the press releases and look at where the money goes. In healthcare it went straight into the billing department.

Caleb’s reaction to a minor hamstring injury is objectively hilarious. I really thought his year was over and maybe career threatening. Felt terrible for him and Bear’s fans.

My neighbor finished paying off her house in 2024.
She bought it in 1994 for $78,000. Thirty years of payments at $593 a month.
She's 74 now. Social Security pays her $1,910 a month. That's $22,920 a year.
The place two doors down sold for $615,000 last spring, so the county reassessed hers to match.
Her tax bill this year: $8,100. That's $675 a month.
She paid $593 a month to buy the house.
She pays $675 a month to keep it.
Thirty years of payments ended and the bill went up.
The deed says she owns it. The county bills her like she's renting.

Additionally, the posting account originates in Canada, but mentions their “neighbor” is on Social Security, which is an American welfare system.

In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets.
People rejected this.
We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive.
The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.

Mamdani announces city-run groceries will set prices *30%* below retail.
Typical grocery margins are 2%.
Meaning:
First, the city will lose ungodly amounts of money -- at least 28 cents on the dollar.
Second, below-cost stores will steal enough market share that real groceries abandon the city.
Third, taxpayers will get tired of the money hole and slash subsidies.
At which point city groceries become money holes full of rotting food, so New Yorkers will have to take 2 trains and a bus to find a real grocery store.
Socialism will work this time 🙌

So after all the pre-tournament criticism, angst, and fearmongering (much done with anticipatory glee), the 2026 World Cup was a historic success. Incredible games, record crowds/viewers, and a cultural phenomenon. People were safe, entertained, and joyous. Visitors discovered, and Americans were reminded, just how wonderful our country is, all through the lens of soccer. I’m so happy for, and proud of, my country. Best World Cup ever. Thank you, America. 🇺🇸

It was great to see so many foreigners enjoy themselves in the US and have positive reactions to Americans.
But some of this was sad because it was clear that many had absurd preconceived notions due to mass media in their countries, especially in Europe.
Like Mark Twain said, those who don’t read newspapers are uninformed; those who do are misinformed.
These people are nucking futs
New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo: “Landlords in New York have been making a 12% return on their investment.”
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “How much should they make? What’s fair for the landlord to make?”
Gustavo Gordillo: “We don’t think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment.”
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “What are you talking about?”
These EVIL Communists must be DEFEATED at all costs.

It took about one week for Khanna to get bullied into suggesting his “billionaire tax” should actually be on anyone worth $50 million
I make the philosophical case for tax fairness and taxing billionaire wealth.
I welcome an argument on the merits for this new social contract.
