  Most hospitals are setup as non-profit entities and use medical debt write-offs to exhibit their charity. In all truth, they intentionally drive their own expenses sky high to increase revenue to astronomical levels so to give executives running these organizations excessively high compensation. These write-offs are just part of the gig.

  I am on about 15 years on this current mattress. Seems to be doing just fine.

  I carry gift cards to Subway for the homeless. Subway restaurants are almost everywhere, don't cost a lot, can be reasonably healthy, and most people like the food well enough.

  If these figures are accurate and I am reading the chart correctly, housing prices went from about 2.7x annual income to about 6.4x annual income. I feel like artificially low rates have had the effect of inflating house prices along with builders building houses that are too big and with too many features. Very few 3 bed, 1 bath houses without large garages. People who wanted these houses are forced to buy bigger houses because that's about all that's available.

  Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore is probably the dictionary definition of benevolent dictator.

  I worry about Google using the keyboard to violate my privacy so i moved to 8vin. It is a really odd keyboard but you get used to it after a few weeks.
