‼️San Francisco just announced it will rip up every homelessness contract and force providers onto outcomes-based funding. Pay for results or lose the money. Lurie: “We are not going to continue spending $1 billion of taxpayer money on a failing system.” I have been documenting this exact scam for years. @KarenBassLA @santamonicacity @ctorosis @jessezwick @electdanhall @EllisRaskin @nhrushka @BarrySnell_CPA copy San Francisco today. Stop handing blank checks to @ThePplConcern. $106 million in government grants. $2.2 million on advertising. $6 million on management. Execs paid up to $300k. Homelessness worse. Streets worse. City claims it’s broke then slaps a 5% homeless tax on home sales. Tens of billions statewide. Bloated salaries. No metrics. The crisis grows because the nonprofits only stay funded if it grows. Free housing for life, no treatment required, criminal charges waived if you take the apartment. Magnet for more people. Cash machine for the operators. @InstituteCicero @JTLonsdale have been pushing performance contracts and audits for years. San Francisco is finally doing it. Santa Monica and LA: rebid every contract. Tie every dollar to fewer people on the street, actual sobriety, jobs, and exits from the system. If The People Concern & other “homeless NGOs” like @stepuponsecond cannot deliver, cut them off. No more friends at the nonprofits. Do it now.

👨‍⚕️ This is very true. So why on earth do they charge $$$$ annual tuition? First & second year med students sit in a handful of lectures a day - most often streamed so they’re not even in person! Could play back pre-recorded lectures (free). 3rd/4th years they act as free labor in hospitals & clinics, helping take care of patients as they learn. Again, how does that cost anything? Sure, they have administrative costs and costs for cadavers in the anatomy lab but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what they charge for tuition, not to mention $100+ application fees per school (which they charge you even if you have no chance of getting in!). I want to open a free or nearly free med school: Everyone accepted as long as they meet prerequisite courses etc. Years 1 & 2: fully online, taught by best professors on earth. Tests at testing centers. Community primary care preceptors 1-2x/week. If you pass boards exam, you move on. Otherwise you don’t. Years 3 & 4: Rotations at local hospitals & clinics. No expensive apartments. No moving. Learn to practice in your own community where you likely intend to practice medicine in the future. Slightly different experience but reduces barriers to entry. Won’t just be for the rich. Parents, middle and lower class, anyone can become a doctor if committed.

The release of Fauci Diaries has reopened many wounds & further eroded trust in public health as we have proof that Dr Fauci cared only about himself, made arbitrary policies he didn’t agree with & lied to Americans & Congress I joined @tracegallagher on @foxnewsnight to discuss

‼️ TONIGHT: I’ll join @tracegallagher on @foxnewsnight at ~8:15p PT // 11:15p ET to discuss the explosive Fauci Diaries on the eve of Fauci’s (involuntarily) testimony before the Senate & expected grilling by Senator (& fellow ophthalmologist!) @RandPaul @DrRandPaul Lots to unpack including his outright lies to Congress & the American people, as well as the fact that we continue to have a system that grants unchecked totalitarian power to national and local public health officials whenever they believe there’s a public health emergency, with no appeals process. Tune in and they stay til the end of the show for the NightCap!

🇺🇸 NOTHING represents America better than this👇 National Mall is evacuated and a group of Christians of every ethnic background start playing traditional Jewish & Israeli music and evacuated attendees of every background, including a woman in a hijab, learn & start dancing! This one image shows how United we can all be, setting aside any differences, and just enjoying one another and enjoying life, even though it’s miserable outside. Let’s remember this moment every day. God bless the USA!
