I had a wonderful postdoc offer overlapping with the year I was defending and publishing my dissertation that I had to turn down because it didn't come with real employer-based insurance.

Lifetime caps: some insurers would say that once a person had run up a (lifetime) bill of $2M or so, they were no longer insurable, kicked forever to Medicaid and Medicare. NICU nurses told me abt pre-ACA kids who would hit their lifetime cap before their first breath of fresh air.

I want people to internalize just how bad it was before the ACA. You might claim that the ACA was "worse than nothing", but those who went through hell before know just how much better off we are now.

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

I wish I lived in a country where Donald Trump raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring was treated with at least half the outrage and gravity of Joe Biden having one bad debate night.

Sure Biden has a narrow tightrope to walk like not publicly stumbling or losing his train of thought, but Trump also has to walk a tightrope, like not promising a thousand year reich or growing a Hitler mustache.

It's hard to communicate how radical this is. For 200 years every politician in America wanted the federal government to pay for things so they could take credit for it. It's a fundamental defining feature of American politics. But now owning the libs is more important. 1/2

And his opponent can't stay awake during the day in his own court case. We have only two candidate choices. Replacing Biden will be branded by Republicans as causing numerous election irregularities, even if voters are okay with it. We live in the worst possible world to engage in hypotheticals.

I tried to watch a 2 minute WaPo video where the journalists asked the same age questions, and I couldn't get past 1 minute. Neurologists ask their Alzheimer's patients questions with more substance: count backwards from 100 by 7s, shouldn't there be 13 SCOTUS justices for 13 circuits, etc.

Breaking news: Biden was born in 1942, and he has way better health than the average 81 year old but now needs to ration his energy a little bit.

Please take it from the Republican strategists at the Lincoln Project and all the other Never Trumpers who are temporarily working on Biden's behalf. They know their side super well. At this stage, the choices are to help Biden or not. If Biden wins, we get a different choice in 2028.

They don't want Biden in, as a person who used to specialize in research on this they want to prep a narrative for the fall of a technically illegitimate election. It's not a move to stop it, it's a move to delegitimize.

Dems in disarray plays badly with voters. Lincoln Project had a video about how this is distraction and harms Biden. Remember that they want Biden to win so that eventually they can start voting for Republicans again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6eL...

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

2 of the top 3 candidates for the US presidency have shown a repeated willingness to believe any conspiracy dangled in front of them like a set of keys, including wildly anti-american ones, which are straightforward cognitive deficiencies for what we should demand in a president. neither are biden.

Such as what. Four months ago, Biden outmaneuvered Republicans on the border deal despite conventional wisdom he'd given away the farm. Biden has managed the Middle East better than anyone could have. The freakout is getting in the way of his effective in foreign policy, however.

It doesn't matter what voters think. It matters what flips and turns out several thousand voters across a few swing states, and I think President Biden's Scranton background was important for that. It think President Biden's legislative background is what allowed him to have so much policy success.

Biden learned from the example of LBJ in staying the course, and key constituencies appreciate that. It's too bad NYT's editorial board and others do not realize the dangers they've created both domestically and internationally.

I wish 2020 had led to a younger candidate, but it didn't. I wish our system didn't penalize parties that have a serious primary challenge, but it does. UK can have an entire election and turnover in several weeks, but we don't. 2020 determined 2024, and Biden has been the most successful since LBJ.

That last is a right-wing talking point. In every case, we need to consider counterfactuals. The media freak-out about Biden's debate without any comparable "Why can't Trump stay awake in the daytime or make sense ever" has had multiple negative foreign policy and political implications.

I liked Harris in the early primaries along with like 3 others ahead of Biden, but we have a democratic process that came to this result. People raising objections are at best naive about the potential results of their objections. Dems in disarray is bad for election results especially now.

The neuro assessment includes cognitive, but sure it's reasonable to ask for more if both provide the same information. Democrats cannot change without penalty, and Biden won the primary and general in 2020 when HRC didn't in 2016. Maybe HRC could have won with better field op; coulda woulda shoulda

The hours can be longer than that. Take a look at his schedule. Many days he's traveling in the middle of the night and changing planes at 3 am. It's good sleep hygiene to stop working a couple hours before bed. Limiting events after 8 pm means he can go to bed at 10-11

After Bush lost the popular vote to Gore, there was some discussion of the need for Republican moderation. Somehow he just governed to the right of what he ran on, and that was that.

People don't make good decisions with less than 7-8 hours' sleep. Medicine has gone from "If people don't want to literally live at the hospital during medical residency, they shouldn't become doctors." to shift and work hour limits that are still extremely high, and that was a positive.
