So, I am not sure if you recall our discussion of one of the (many new) screwups SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) effected recently. I am talking about its decision in Marietta Memorial Hospital Employee Health Benefit Plan v. DaVita Inc.

Where do you stand on this?
I heard about this case and the findings drove me nuts.

I do remember my MAD magazine. Which I loved long before I found out the founder was a chemistry major at Brooklyn Poly. (He dropped out.)

Today is Rosh Chodesh Shvat- the new moon of the month of Shvat. An appropriate day to remember Ted Mann, another COVID-19 victim.

Sometimes you just get surprised by the folks around you.
The other day, I heard that Bernie Cohen succumbed to Parkinson’s disease. I knew he was a lawyer- but, no, he was a great lawyer.
I’ve been warning my clients about this for about three years. And, now, it’s time for them- and everyone else- to react.

I’ve written about the Supreme Court before (in general and also with a scientific analysis of its biases). This has been the most pro-business Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ever, so it is not surprising that decisions like the ones offered this week (as of this writing) are being promulgated. We knew this from decisions that were announced a few years ago, when SCOTUS ruled that businesses get more rights than individuals. (Citizen’s United basically claims that corporations are people. But, people need to act morally and ethically- while Big Business claims that there are no such scruples required of business.)
