It’s so boneheaded. But the arrogance of these billionaire tech bros, Thiel, Musk, Yarvin etc knows no end in their quest for ultimate capture of the US.

True story. A friend of mine here in Kansas had strong heart-attack symptoms so he went to a *chiropractor*. Even with insurance he didn't want to risk seeing a doctor and having co-pays and deductibles and he thinks a chiropractor is equivalent to an MD. I tried to explain but. . .

I would have thought any self-respecting chiropracter would send the guy straight to ED?

That's what I thought. But no! The chiropractor just told him he'd be fine and sent him away. I didn't ask if there was a charge. I told him to go to ER next time but I doubt that he will.

Agree. I think that's what they're aiming for.
