I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Kristen and I did a very steep hike in the JeffCo foothills, leading to a spectacular view that also included, in the distance, the remaining complete deforestation of a VERY large area due to the Lower North Fork Fire in 2012. We drove past the area coming home...it's remarkable how little regrowth there is almost a decade later. Plenty of grass, a few yuccas and just a handful of brave small conifers.

A massive increase in Medicare monthly premiums
When the FDA approved Biogen's Alzheimer's treatment drug called Aduhelm over the recommendation of its own panel that it not be approved because its effectiveness hasn't been proven, they were putting Medicare on the hook for treatments that will cost tens of thousands of dollars per year...again without any demonstrated benefit. Since the Medicare trustees have to set prices based on expected costs and since there may be significant costs for this drug, Medicare enrollees are getting smacked with a massive 15% monthly premium increase...in an important election year.

We MUST cut education bureaucracy
At the public K-12 level, we must cut out unnecessary and unproductive "administration" rules and redirect that money to teachers' salaries. In colleges, we must cut those same bloated jobs and reduce tuitions. (Of course, there's a big difference between a private school, including a university, wasting money as it chooses to and a government school wasting taxpayers' money.)
