Jobs Report: We had another blockbuster job report. One would think that the Biden administration would be getting supreme praise. And guess what? Our titans of finance hate it. It means they must pay employees a bit more because the American worker has some leverage. Wall Street expected 225,000 jobs. Instead, 311,000 were created.
My cataract experience: I have had cataracts for over five years. I hate interfacing with our healthcare system. As such, I only visit doctors or clinics as a last resort. I don’t eat a lot of meat. I exercise — most times at 1 AM, three to four times a week. I don’t drink or smoke. Suffice it to say, the upsell of my choices and the cost continue to prove we have a failed healthcare system. Worse, if you have a lot of money, we give you great healthcare. For the rest, they do the minimum. These are not bad people in the office I went to at all.
