Author, retired veterinarian, & education activist Victoria Young discusses the new American anti-intellectualism among other issues.

Dr. Young wrote the article titled “Anti-intellectualism in Today’s America!“ that immediately sucked me in. Deep into her article, I caught the following snippet.

And that said it all. We are creating robots with no ability of critical thinking. The bastions of our economy want the obedient subject that is there to serve with their labor and controlled intellect.

If you ever wonder why the fear of Critical Race Theory (CRT), the necessary anti-intellectual modus operandi is the way we can keep an unfair system from collapsing. To be clear, K-12 does not teach CRT. But there is a slippery slope for those in power that Americans will learn about the true nature of our checkered past from our inception. The masses would demand mitigation for past injustices.

Victoria Young is an involved, informed, and active parent of the No Child Left Behind era. Victoria said that she witnessed one of the biggest farces in public education EVER! Victoria saw with my own eyes the damage her schools suffered at the hands of standardization and privatization. But today she discusses an issue that while superficially not connected to her passion actually is, anti-intellectualism.

Marlon Weems said that we live in a new paradigm where the future represents a new reality, driven by unprecedented economic, political, and social change. He points out that these changes will influence everything from how we work to how we interact with one another.

Marlon said that the mainstream news rarely drills down enough to accurately picture what’s happening, let alone what it all means. In that line, he started his Journeyman newsletter. No one tells him what to say in The Journeyman newsletter. He has no advertisers or sponsors, so there are no conflicts of interest.

Antonio Ciaccia exposes Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and their drug pricing complicity. My question is, should PBMs even exist?

Antonio Ciaccia, President of 3 Axis Advisors led government affairs for the Ohio Pharmacists Association, a trade organization with a strong track record of advocating for drug pricing transparency. Antonio has since spent years studying the pharmacy marketplace, publishing several analyses on the drug pricing code, and pulling the rug out from what he believes is one of the most dysfunctional marketplaces in the world.

If you have health insurance, whether it be through Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, chances are it’s managed by a PBM. They act as middlemen between drug manufacturers and patients’ health plans, negotiating savings on prescription medicines and determining which drugs will be covered by insurance. However, PBMs fail to pass savings to the patients and insurance companies, while undermining the possibility for competition that would drive value and savings for consumers. This drives up the cost of prescription drugs, leaving you to pay more out of pocket.

“With PBMs essentially centered at the core of the U.S. drug supply chain, it begs for scrutiny of how their business practices may exacerbate drug pricing dysfunction and excess,” said Mr. Ciacias. “As PBMs claim to be the only entity working to control drug prices, we believe that analyses like this report can shed light on the incentives and opportunities PBMs have to inflate costs rather than provide savings to plan sponsors and patients.”
