CHANGE: New study shows physicians are changing their reasons for leaving clinical practice early. “Data from 2008 show that early departure was more likely to be due to personal health issues, rising malpractice insurance premiums, perception of hassle, and lack of professional satisfaction. Updated findings show that the rationale focuses more on burnout, chronic workplace stress, administrative burden, and unrealistic patient expectations.”

FASTER? PLEASE! NASA Pushes Next-Gen Mars Helicopter Rotor Blades Past Mach 1. “The rotor blades that will carry NASA’s next-generation helicopters to new Martian heights broke the sound barrier during March tests at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Data from the tests, which took place in a special chamber that can simulate environmental conditions on the Red Planet, indicate that the fastest traveling part of the rotor blade, the tips, can be accelerated beyond Mach 1 without breaking apart. Data gathered from 137 test runs will enable engineers to design aircraft capable of carrying heavier payloads, including science instruments.”

YOU DON’T SAY: Wealth Tax Author Admits: Not a One-Time Tax.

“I’m not here to pretend that it’s once and never again.”

The main author of the California asset seizure ballot measure is a Marxist Berkeley professor from France who replied “so be it“ when asked about residents fleeing the tax.

And on Tuesday night he admitted it isn’t a “one-time tax” as proponents try to claim.

Wealth tax author and Berkeley professor Emmanuel Saez said: “I don’t think it’s going to be a one-time tax. Because you can’t surprise billionaires more than once.”

Make the tax permanent because billionaires won’t stick around to pay it? Is this guy drunk?

NOW THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR:

UNSUSTAINABLE: U.S. deficit projected to hit $2 trillion, double fiscal target.

Will McBride, the Tax Foundation’s chief economist, said the numbers show Congress isn’t taking action to address financial warnings about the U.S. debt.

“It indicates Congress and the administration are still ignoring the dangers of an unsustainable debt trajectory and actively making it worse rather than addressing it,” McBride told The Center Square. “The effect is to make a crisis more likely to happen sooner rather than later.”

The projections come from Treasury’s quarterly refunding presentation to the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, a panel of bond market participants that advises the department on debt management, making them among the most closely watched fiscal disclosures in financial markets.

Milei showed the way, and it involves a chainsaw, not vague promises.

THEY AREN’T JOURNALISTS…:

…they’re narrative enforcers.

I hope this helps.

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: Thrilla With a Drilla. “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week, we’ll learn which fashion accessory doesn’t go with speeding, which drill bit goes best with trespassing, and how they promote awareness in Britain these days.”

MATT IS KIND OF OUT OF DATE HERE:

Nobody much wants to date woke women. Especially in an environment dominated by DEI and Title IX.

NO LAUGHING MATTER:

WELL, YEAH — HOURS BEHIND THE PRESS:

OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Let this be the final nail in Labour’s coffin.

A bloodbath. A wipeout. A rout. Call it what you want, there is no understating the catastrophe that has befallen the Labour Party in yesterday’s local elections. These results are not just a bruising defeat for an unpopular incumbent – they signal the beginning of the end for the so-called people’s party.

On the seats declared so far, Labour is having the worst results for a governing party since the Tories in 1995, before they were cast out of power for a generation. Labour’s vote share has plummeted by an astonishing 19 points since its General Election win in 2024. As results continue to come in, Keir Starmer’s party is losing half of the seats it’s defending. Not quite the worst-ever rate of loss for a governing party. That dishonour belongs to, er, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in May 2025.

The London Times adds: Plan your resignation to avert Labour strife, Keir Starmer urged.

Hindsight is 20/20, but clearly there was far more that Starmer could have done to prevent this bloodbath/wipeout/rout:
