Well look if your argument is that a layman can diagnose their own health why have doctors in the first place. The nature of having a professional is that they are the ones deciding whether one is okay or not.
You don’t need a doctor to tell you if you are in pain or not in the same way you don’t need a mechanic if to tell you if your car has gasoline. Large binary (1/0) different are detectable by laymen

The thing is by the time you are in severe pain sometimes it is already too late to fix the problem. Or if it does get fixed you get a worse outcome and you end up with a chronic condition.

Right but this is an unsubstantiated concern; the greater utilization is uncorrelated with health outcomes. Both Rand and Oregon suggest this very strongly

Which would be great, if only it wasn't almost entirely due to the BLS's latest choice of seasonal adjustments, which have gone from merely laughable to full clownshow, as the following comparison between the revised BLS Payrolls number and the ADP payrolls show: the trend is clear: the Biden admin numbers are now clearly rising even as the impartial ADP (which directly logs employment numbers at the company level and is actually far more accurate), shows an accelerating slowdown.

I swear the market seems to not care about showing things are a scam anymore.

So when people tell me the US economy is so great coz of stuff like this I really wonder how much of it is bs.

Next time you see from westoids boast of US stock market, just remember this.

It’s a scam because a company reported high earnings and the stock price went up?

The game is rigged.

Now the Americans believe monopoly is good, as long as those monopolistic companies are American, extracting rent from hapless Europeans.

We know which other country has dynamic tech companies with a worldwide reach. Often better tech too.

That throws a wrench into this America First Monopoly Plan.

The west is running a tightly controlled market. It's just controlled by Wallstreet bankers and algorithms and not an centralized government.

That is one thing that whole gamestop affair told me in 2022. When the little man starts cheating the system the system rejects it and implements a immune reaction to the little man.
