Doctors told his parents, Amber Schofield and Ben Proctor that Charlie's last hope was a liver transplant at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio.

They were originally told that the cost would be around £300,000 ($387,600), but after learning that it would actually be three times as much, they decided to stop raising money.

Before the shooting, authorities say, Hart cut himself with a butcher knife then charged at officers.

No clear explanation has surfaced for the behavior of the 33-year-old father of two children — a newborn daughter and a 2-year-old son."

Those people are from the UK. The UK national healthcare system doesn’t do that surgery for them?

And the Ohio hospital would actually make those parents write them a check for a million dollars? Wtf actually costs so much about it?

Healthcare is probably GC’s greatest achievement.

Healthcare is maybe the best example of markets driving innovation and improving human life. But the mixed system we have provides the worst aspects of socialized medicine and the free market system. GC is not the same as markets.

I’m skeptical of the Hospital truly requiring them to fork over a million bucks though

i feel like it's less a 'computer', than it is a GC data collection/surveillance device that is now embedded in my home.

the way it is setup is to CONSTANTLY *prompt* me to "LINK", or "Sync", every fucking thing I do, with my smartphone/verified email/legal name, etc. when i took it out of the box, i was not even able to boot Microsoft without giving my PHONE NUMBER and full name to receive a verification text to link my phone w/ my new computer (and IP address, etc).

the thing is so CRAMMED full of tracking software and consumer crap bullshit (there is a HUGE Netflix program BUILT IN to the computer, rather than anything useful, like a free word processor that i don't have to pay to license).

it's just a nightmare. it feels like a GC "eyeball" in my home.

and it's constantly off "UPDATING" itself, and "ACCESSING" my location to add new "FEATURES", etc, of its OWN volition. I don't even permit or WANT it doing these things, but it just shuts down and does them without my permission. i feel like i am just supposed to feel lucky to be *using* this computer occasionally, when GC is not busy 'updating' it for the 50th time this week.

i rang the call attendant button. she walked all the way up to row 15 from the back galley. i asked if she could get me a drink, considering the seat belt sign was on and i didn't want to defiantly walk all the way back. she said it would be "unsafe" given the "turbulence". proceeded to walk all the way back. so safe enough for her to be walking up and down the aisle, but not safe enough to carry a drink.

then, with the seat belt sign on, another stewardess starts walking back from the front hawking credit card offers. safe enough to sell credit cards.

i just take off my seatbelt and walk all the way back to the rear lavatory. "i can't hold it", i say, despite the seatbelt sign.

on my way out, bladder emptied, the first stewardess has my drink and the one my seat neighbor requested ready to go. she knows exactly what's up.

tl;dr: best GC airlines refuse to serve you, try to force you to stay in your seat so they can sell you credit cards!

Yes, economic gains can be found through trade liberalization where trade barriers are high, but tariffs are already low (just 2.7 percent on average between TPP member countries). Put this minuscule number next to the surging U.S. dollar, up 26 percent since July 2011. A more expensive dollar makes imports cheaper and exports less competitive in foreign markets. The exchange rate change swamps the benefits from the small reduction in tariffs. And the toothless side declaration on exchange rate misalignments by TPP finance ministers is likely to be as ineffective as current diplomatic efforts to rebalance exchange rates.

While the U.S. Trade Representative boasts of 18,000 tariff cuts for American exporters, the economic significance of many of these to U.S. producers and workers appears negligible. For example, tropical, impoverished Vietnam will eliminate tariffs on skis, snowplows, and caviar, while predominantly Muslim Brunei and Malaysia will eliminate tariffs on pork. In fact, in more than half of the 18,000 categories, the U.S. exported nothing to TPP nations last year; for many of the remaining 7,500 categories, American exporters sold only small amounts. These are areas where American producers are unlikely to develop a comparative advantage.

With trade barriers already so low, it is no wonder that existing modeling analyses from economists at the Peterson Institute and the World Bank show such negligible benefits from eliminating trade barriers in TPP. Both find that gains to the U.S. economy will be less than the statistical error when the Commerce Department calculates our GDP figures. A study by the Economic Research Service found that TPP would have zero effect on U.S. GDP.

Even these estimates should be taken with a grain of salt: The models assume that trade will be balanced and no unemployment will ensue. Models incorporating more realistic assumptions, like those from economists at Tufts University, find a net GDP loss for the United States from TPP.

We know that imports displace U.S. jobs while exports create them. But even if trade grew in balance, there is reason to expect the U.S. would shed more jobs in the labor-intensive industries hit by import competition than it would gain in the capital-intensive industries where U.S. exports may expand, causing net unemployment to rise. Empirical research, as opposed to simulations in theoretical models, shows that import surges result in significant job dislocations and wage declines in the U.S.—not just for those directly affected, but across entire regional economies as demand falls and more workers compete for lower-quality jobs.

Past experience gives no reason to believe new agreements will help balance trade, bringing our exports more in line with out imports. For example, the U.S. International Trade Commission predicted that the U.S.–Korea free trade agreement, implemented in 2012, would narrow the $13 billion U.S. trade deficit with Korea by $4 billion. Instead, in the most recent 12-month period, the trade deficit with Korea expanded to more than $29 billion.

The most significant parts of the TPP pertain to investment, not trade. But these investment provisions make it more attractive for American businesses to move jobs and production offshore and give greater credibility to the offshoring threats employers use to undercut U.S. workers’ demands for higher wages and unions.
