In Egypt, Hepatitis C treatment cost the government $35. In the US, Gilead charges $80,000 for something which you can basically make for $20 and make a profit by charging $35. By extension, any drug for coronavirus might be affordable in India, but might not be affordable in the US.

We discussed the square root rule here. It's something like the square root of the number of employees in an organization do half of the work.

I'll break this out as a separate paragraph to explain how incredibly bizarre this was. A project with 4 basic boilers to characterize was allotted the same amount of time as a project with 35 complex processes that nobody had characterized before.
Back to this topic.

At the last job I had, there existed a few star employees who were among the people who did half the work. They all had serious health problems. Probably the best career progression in America from the standpoint of being economically secure is to become a star employee, accept the fact that you will be overworked and abused, let the inevitable resulting health problems set in, and then hope for the best.

The food fight I would get into with management at every job was them trying by hook or crook to force me down that path and me resisting.

The first time was to try to force me out of engineering and into plant management in a 24 hour a day 7 day a week factory. The place didn't have a union, but operated that way and every manager was expendable, but no hourly employee ever got fired unless it was for a gross violation, which of course then the burden of making the firing stick with corporate was on the manager. In fact, I can't think of an hourly who ever did get fired. I told them no. They said no was not an option, so I gave them my resignation. They were shocked to get it. Basically I think they played the odds and were pretty sure they would win.

The second time was at an engineering job. The place had terrible engineers and they were falling behind on their work. That was when the bizarre behavior quoted above started. Out of the blue, they pretty much doubled my work load. Basically they played the odds, expecting I would start taking work home and working evenings and weekends. Some other people were doing that. I refused and instead of increasing my output, I reduced it. I told them in so many words that if they wanted to be nice I would bring my output back to previous levels, which was already more than everybody else was doing anyway. Otherwise, we would be at constant never ending war. They thought they could break me in short order and refused to back down. From that point, I lasted about 4 years. Instead of doing extra work, I gathered dirt on the management and threatened to expose them to the outside. They would back off and then come at me again. They hired an attack dog supervisor to go after me and I chewed him up. Finally, they brought enough resources to bear against me that I decided the best option was to quit. By that time, the head personnel attorney for the whole 3000 person organization was involved and driving 80 miles to meet with management on the site.

The third time was the most recent experience I summarized. Once they started down that path, I immediately handed my resignation like I did the first time. About a week after that, they said I could rescind my resignation. I told them no. About 4 months later, they contacted me through their team leader, said I was missed, and asked me to apply to a job they posted. I went in to interview for the job and they basically told me they were offering to double my work load for a 25% increase in pay. I think the odds they were playing was to hope I was low on money and would cave in.

The literal interpretation of c-ovid-19 is dead sheep H.
once again you can see what they truly are
C (Abaddon, the angel of the bottomless pit) OVID (sheep) - 19 (slaughter)
Few can see, the narrow gate.

Last few decades is constancy of insults to the masculinity of the beast operatives
and insults posited to regard others as inferiors. They pour the fermented wine to the rider.
Here is the patience.
They are stuck at conspiracy theorists. Pity them.

Seattle police have released body cam footage of officers trying to respond to a fatal shooting inside the CHAZ/CHOP autonomous zone early Saturday morning. In addition to officers’ body worn camera footage, other open-source videos have been compiled by Seattle police as the homicide investigation continues. “Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims,” a police statement read. The video confirms the statement as police tell the crowd that they are “only trying to get to the victim” but are met with violence and profanity. A 19-year-old male has died from his injuries.

One of the star employees was a woman who was around 40 (Gen X) and had 2 young girls about ages 5 and 7. Before I started working there, management dumped massive amounts of work on her and she rose to the challenge. She was very smart and was an excellent engineer. Her father was a college professor and she remarked to me that by taking on these high profile projects and being recognized in her profession for doing so, she was able to become almost as respected in her profession as her father, but that she felt she would never quite rise to his level.

On the flip side, due to the stress and overwork, she developed severe migraines that she was unable to shake. They were so bad that doctors in this state thought she may have worms in her brain and sent her to a specialist out of state to get another opinion (she didn't). After that, the doctors told her that either her employer would need to reduce her hours and stress level or she would have to quit. Management agreed to reduce her hours. One employee told me that she had confided that she was tired of "being everybody's trash can" and she seemed happy with the arrangement.

When it was announced in a meeting that I was leaving, she looked a little bit devastated. She had been very friendly and helpful prior, but after that was announced she didn't speak to me, not even to thank me and wish me well. Some people can't get a break no matter what and for many in today's America, like this woman, the smarter they are and the better and more dedicated they are at their job, the worse off they are.

Some of my parting words to management were that while I respect those who sacrifice their health for the job, management was trying to move me across that line and that's a line I do not cross.

Unlike the previous story, this is mostly a story about what "diversity" did to a workplace. The short story is that I refused to cover for the affirmative action hires who couldn't do the work. In the end, management was willing to lose me and keep their affirmative action hires who clearly couldn't do the work just because I refused to cover for them. I was able to hang on for 4 years because they didn't want to justify that to the media and or a judge. By the end of the 4 years I had ratcheted my output down to just above the Chinese woman who had a language barrier.

I don't cover for affirmative action hires, period.

Anyone reading this can fill in the rest of the details as to what that means for the future of America.

That suggests that U.S. costs are high due to general inefficiency — inefficient project management, an inefficient government contracting process, and inefficient regulation. It suggests that construction, like health care or asset management or education, is an area where Americans have simply ponied up more and more cash over the years while ignoring the fact that they were getting less and less for their money.

Common theme here.

Reasonable people may ask whether this can be fixed. It can't for the reasons I've specified, mainly that US corporations don't want competent people who can fix these problems. Instead, they want continued corruption and bailouts. Down we go.
The affirmative action hires and I got along great. We all became friends. You may wonder why that was if I refused to cover for them and made it obvious that I was refusing to do more. They didn't look at me increasing my output as covering for them, only management saw it that way. They looked at me increasing my output as raising the bar so that they would be required to do more work. They could have gave a shit less about whether the work got done or not. Down we go.

I am now forecasting a July or August crash; not longer
The price of the Renaissance IPO ETF is interesting on this point. This is an ETF that tracks new listings in the US according to a set criteria of rules (as I understand matters from the tip of Africa). Any company that has been public for 2 years gets removed from the ETF. What is interesting to note here is the rapid rise of this ETF in the past three months. This ETF is another indication of building euphoria on Wall Street. IPO hype and a large influx of retail traders into the market (which apparently is happening very substantially) has always been evident at the final stages of a bull market. Bubbles can inflate for longer than many expect, Much longer than I expected!!

My purchases have nothing to do with fundamentals until August or later.
The last purchase was a stock destroyed by the oil wars as a dislocation in the EU zone.

On August 11, 1918 Lenin instructed the following action:
“Comrades! The insurrection of five kulak districts should be pitilessly suppressed. The interests of the whole revolution require this because ‘the last decisive battle’ with the kulaks is now under way everywhere. An example must be demonstrated.
Hang (absolutely hang, in full view of the people) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, filthy rich men, bloodsuckers.
Publish their names.
Seize all grain from them.
Designate hostages – in accordance with yesterday’s telegram.
Do it in such a fashion, that for hundreds of verst around the people see, tremble, know, shout: “strangling (is done) and will continue for the bloodsucking kulaks”.
Telegraph the receipt and the implementation. Yours, Lenin.

Truly evil decision.
Indeed the concept of actual Business does not exist in the States mind.
