    Pulling billions of dollars out of the health care industry in order to stick it into… what even is this money going to go into? AI and Crypto? Treasury bonds? Untaxable oversees S&Ls?

    Its painful to watch not only because of the obvious inherent cruelty, but because of the painful shortsightedness.

It won’t even benefit rich people, given how regularly they profiteer of Medicaid on the back end.
