NY’s Tax Exodus Just Got Worse
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul is stunned by fresh IRS data.
Between 2020-2024, 892 companies fled New York — taking $47 BILLION in income with them.
• Florida: 341 companies
• Texas: 187
• North Carolina: 129
It’s not just billionaires anymore. Middle-class professionals, small business owners, and families are voting with their feet — escaping crushing taxes, regulations, and declining quality of life.
Shrinking tax base = those who stay pay even more.
Hochul once mocked them: “Just get on a bus.”
Now the exodus is accelerating — killing jobs, services, and the economy.
Actions have consequences.

Police chief calls for naval blockade to stop migrants reaching UK after surge in small boats leaving from Belgium
A tough-talking Belgian police chief has called for small boats leaving his country to be stopped by ‘a naval barrier’ to prevent them ever reaching the UK.
Speaking in response to the sudden increase in small boats leaving from Belgian resorts just over the border from France in West Flanders, Christiaan De Ridder said dinghies must not reach French waters.
Once out of Belgium’s jurisdiction, the French typically focus on escorting the vessels safely into British waters rather than intercepting them, even though they know they are illegal crossings often organised by criminal gangs.

CIA says Iran has 70 percent of pre-war missiles, can ride out blockade for months: Report
Iran can withstand the US naval blockade against it for three or four more months before facing severe economic hardship, the CIA told the Trump administration this week, according to a report by The Washington Post on Thursday.
The report also said the CIA has found that Tehran retains “significant ballistic missile capabilities” after weeks of Israeli and US bombardment.
The CIA report flies in the face of public statements by the Trump administration, which has claimed that the vast majority of Iran’s drone and missile capabilities have been destroyed.

The six out of six recession warning that just flashed red again.... here's why Americans should be petrified
By BENJAMIN CURRY, US DEPUTY CONSUMER EDITOR, dailymail.co.uk
A closely watched oil market indicator is flashing a red alert for America, raising fears that we could be heading for a massive economic downturn.
Market watchers were chattering all week about research that shows when oil prices surge more than 50 percent above their long-term trend, a recession almost always follows.
The indicator has a chilling record: Over the last 50 years, there have been six oil spike signals and six accompanying recessions.
Brent crude - the international oil price benchmark - was hitting four-year highs above $110 a barrel midweek, driven higher by the deepening chaos surrounding Iran, the Strait of Hormuz and the ceasefire.
Efforts to cool off the conflict helped lower prices heading into the weekend, but international crude traded as high as $113 on Tuesday - easily putting it more than 50 percent above its long-term trend.
‘The longer oil prices remain elevated, the worse the trade‑offs become, with softer growth and labor outcomes, and stickier inflation,’ Christian Hoffmann, head of fixed income at Thornburg Investment Management, told the Daily Mail.
Oil prices are far from the only recession alert these days: Top economist Gary Shilling recently warned almost nothing could stop a US downturn later this year, and legendary hedge fund manager Ray Dalio said the US economy was already in hot water.
But surging crude is the biggest threat to the economy right now, so much so that the Trump administration is working overtime to extract the US from the Iran conflict and force down prices.

London-Beijing tensions explode over Hong Kong spy convictions
Britain summons the Chinese ambassador for an emergency dressing down in London..
Move follows the conviction of three men under the UK National Security Act.
The men were found guilty of assisting Hong Kong’s intelligence services on UK soil.
FCDO officials claim the breach represents a direct threat to British sovereignty.
Beijing’s embassy in London calls the convictions “malicious slander” and “political theater”.
The diplomatic rift comes just days before Trump’s scheduled summit with Xi Jinping.
UK intelligence suggests more sleeper cells may be active in the finance sector.
Security at British government buildings has been quietly leveled up this morning.
The UK just threw a massive wrench into the “de-escalation” narrative with China.
A UK immigration officer has been found guilty of working for Chinese intelligence as part of a “shadow policing operation”.
Chi Leung “Peter” Wai, 40, used his access to the Home Office computer system to track Hong Kong dissidents based in the UK through the main immigration database.
He was found guilty under the National Security Act of assisting a foreign intelligence service alongside Chung Biu “Bill” Yuen, 65, who was initially his contact with the Hong Kong authorities. Wai was also found guilty of misconduct in public office.
Chinese ambassador Zheng Zeguang will be summoned by the Foreign Office after the two men were found guilty.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis said the men’s activities were “an infringement of our sovereignty and will never be tolerated”.

Bill Maher torches Democrats for cheering political assassins while pretending to hate gun violence
Bill Maher notices that Democrats really hate gun violence except when it’s aimed at political enemies.
“New Rule: Luigi Mangione, Cole Tomas Allen, Tyler Robinson, and the ghost of Thomas Crooks must form a boy band called ‘New Kids on the Glock.’”
“These are not your father’s political assassins. Things have changed. For one thing, today’s assassins have popular support with the kids.”
“Up to 40% of America’s young adults say violence is okay to achieve a political goal.”
“Wow. Seems like 5 minutes ago when one of the big causes of the left was gun control. But now guns are the answer?”
“I guess. Cause Luigi is a f*cking rock star. He’s the OG hot assassin. The young assassins coming up even name-check him in their manifestos.”

How much of that is fraud?
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.
Neither party is going to cut spending. You know it, I know it and anybody with two neurons to rub together knows it because cutting discretionary spending is meaningless. The only way to cut spending and fix the deficit is to cut entitlement programs welfare, Social Security, Medicare etc. and that will never happen because politicians know they would be committing political suicide if they did. They will let the system collapse.

Housing Cost Pressure Varies Widely Across The EU
Housing affordability in the EU has an uneven spread across the continent according to data from Eurostat.
As Statista's Jack Lillis details below, the share of people whose housing costs exceed 40% of disposable income ranges from as low as 2.4% in Cyprus to as high as 28.9% in Greece.
The EU 27 average stands at 8.2%, but this figure masks significant disparities between countries.
You will find more infographics at Statista
After Greece, Turkey appears among the most heavily burdened, while countries like Finland, Sweden, and France sit at the lighter end of the scale, suggesting considerably lower housing cost pressure on their populations.
The disparities carry real implications for labor mobility and quality of life.
In countries where housing consumes a disproportionate share of income workers in lower-wage sectors, such as the hospitality industry, could face particularly acute pressure.

Obama’s presidential center is about to open, and apparently it has a gift shop. A GIFT SHOP.
As you can imagine, some of the items in the shop are beyond parody. Others make perfect sense. All of this makes for an incredibly funny story. Tickets to get into the place are a whopping $30. Imagine dropping more cash on the junk in the gift shop.
The sad thing is that some people will actually buy this stuff.

Which AI system was used to outperform doctors in emergency rooms?
Multiple independent reports confirm that Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center tested OpenAI’s o1 reasoning model on 76 real ER cases, where it matched or exceeded human physicians—especially during initial triage.
A Harvard-led study published in Science found that OpenAI’s o1 preview model outperformed human doctors in diagnosing and managing emergency room cases, particularly excelling at initial triage with limited information.
The model produced exact or near-exact diagnoses in 67% of triage cases, compared with 50–55% for human physicians.
Additional reporting confirms that the o1 reasoning model reached up to 82% accuracy when more detailed information was available, surpassing physicians’ 70–79% accuracy.
If I wanted to use AI to evaluate incoming patients, their vital markings, lab test results, medications, systems, symptoms and medical history, which Ai would be best. This one or another?
If your goal is to evaluate incoming patients using vitals, labs, medications, symptoms, and medical history, then you’re really asking about clinical‑reasoning AI, not just general chat models. And the truth is: different AI systems
Copilot said
If your goal is to evaluate incoming patients using vitals, labs, medications, symptoms, and medical history, then you’re really asking about clinical‑reasoning AI, not just general chat models. And the truth is: different AI systems excel at different parts of the workflow.
Here’s the short version:
For deep clinical reasoning and differential diagnosis, the strongest publicly known model today is OpenAI’s o1 (and its successors).
For structured medical data, risk scoring, and workflow automation, specialized medical AIs (e.g., Google Med‑Gemini, Med‑PaLM 2, or dedicated clinical decision support systems) may outperform general models.
Let me break this down so you can choose the right tool for your use case.
1. If you want the best reasoning about symptoms, labs, vitals, and historyOpenAI o1 currently leads in:
multi‑step clinical reasoning
generating differential diagnoses
interpreting complex case narratives
triage decision‑making
outperforming ER physicians in controlled studies
It’s designed to think step‑by‑step, which is exactly what medical reasoning requires.
Strengths:
Excellent at “doctor‑style” reasoning
Handles incomplete or ambiguous information
Can explain its reasoning chain
Very strong at triage and diagnosis
Weaknesses:
Not optimized for structured EHR data ingestion
Not FDA‑cleared for autonomous clinical decisions
Needs careful human oversight
2. If you want an AI that consumes structured medical data (EHR, vitals, labs)General models struggle with raw structured data unless you preprocess it.
For this, medical‑specific models are often better:
Google Med‑Gemini / Med‑PaLM 2Trained specifically on medical datasets
Strong at interpreting labs, imaging reports, and structured clinical data
Designed for clinical QA and guideline‑based reasoning
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)Examples: Epic’s BestPractice Advisories, Isabel, VisualDx, UpToDate CDS
Built for real‑world hospital workflows
Integrate directly with EHRs
Provide risk scores, alerts, and guideline‑based recommendations
FDA‑regulated or compliant with clinical standards
These systems don’t “think” like o1, but they are safer and more integrated.
3. If you want AI to predict deterioration (sepsis, cardiac arrest, ICU transfer)You want predictive models, not reasoning models.
Examples:
Epic Sepsis Model
Deterioration Index (DI)
Google DeepMind’s patient deterioration models
Bayesian or ML‑based early warning systems (MEWS, NEWS2)
These models use vitals + labs to produce risk scores, not diagnoses.
4. If you want a single system that does everythingNo single AI today is perfect at:
deep reasoning
structured data ingestion
real‑time risk prediction
guideline compliance
EHR integration (EHR integration is the process of connecting electronic health record systems)
But the best hybrid approach is:
Use a reasoning model (like o1) + a structured-data model + a predictive model.For example:
Predictive model flags risk (e.g., sepsis risk 0.82).
Structured-data model summarizes labs, vitals, meds.
Reasoning model (o1) generates differential diagnosis, triage, and next steps.
Clinician reviews and makes final decisions.
This is the direction hospitals are moving.
So which AI is “best” for your goal?If your priority is clinical reasoning: OpenAI o1 (or its successors)
If your priority is structured medical data ingestion: Google Med‑Gemini / Med‑PaLM 2
EHR‑integrated CDSS tools
If your priority is risk prediction: Dedicated predictive models (sepsis, cardiac arrest, ICU transfer)
If you want a real clinical system you can deploy today: Use a hybrid of CDSS + a reasoning model
(Reasoning models alone are not FDA‑cleared for autonomous decisions.)
One question for youTo give you a precise recommendation, I need to know:
Are you building a clinical tool for real patient care, or are you exploring this for research/prototyping?
The answer changes which AI systems you can use legally and safely.
I would like an AI that could help evaluate incoming patients at a small clinic under qualified human supervision. The AI would review and make recommendations based upon reading lab results, patients vitals, history, medications and symptoms. I would like one overall AI to give recommendations to either an intake nurse or doctor. Which one would be best for me?
Why not use a medical‑specific model instead?Medical‑specific models (like Med‑Gemini or Med‑PaLM 2) are excellent at:
guideline‑based answers
medical Q&A
interpreting structured data
But they are not as strong at multi‑step reasoning across mixed data types (symptoms + labs + vitals + meds + history). They also aren’t as flexible for small‑clinic deployment.
They shine in large hospital systems, not small clinics.
What your clinic actually needs (and what works in practice)You don’t need a giant hospital AI ecosystem.
You need something that:
Accepts structured data (vitals, labs, meds, history)
Accepts unstructured data (symptoms, notes, patient complaints)
Produces a clear, safe recommendation
Is always reviewed by a human clinician
A reasoning model like o1 can do this with a simple wrapper that formats your clinic’s data into a clean prompt.
The ideal setup for your small clinicHere’s the most effective and realistic architecture:
1. Intake nurse enters or uploads:vitals
symptoms
medications
allergies
lab results
brief history
2. Your system formats this into a structured summary(e.g., JSON or a clean text template)
3. The reasoning model (o1) produces:triage level
differential diagnosis
recommended tests
red‑flag warnings
medication interactions
suggested next steps
reasoning chain
4. Nurse or doctor reviews and approvesThe AI never acts autonomously.
Safety: Why this approach is compliant and realisticYou are not replacing clinicians — you’re augmenting them.
The AI is not making final decisions — humans are.
You are not using it as an FDA‑regulated autonomous device.
You are using it as a clinical decision support tool, which is allowed.
This is exactly how small clinics safely adopt AI today.
Final recommendation for your clinicIf you want one AI that can handle everything you listed:
Choose a reasoning model like OpenAI’s o1.It is the closest thing to a “general medical brain” available today.
Add a lightweight structured‑data wrapper.This ensures the model reads vitals, labs, meds, and history cleanly.
Keep human supervision in the loop.This keeps you safe, compliant, and clinically responsible.
Before I tailor this further for you…I need one key detail:
Do you want the AI to integrate with your clinic’s EHR system, or will staff manually enter patient data into the AI?
Your answer determines the best architecture and workflow for your clinic.
If I Chose OpenAI’s o1 system for my clinic using your guidelines, how much would it cost in terms of a monthly subscription and would I per charged a per use fee? How would billing for the AI work?
How billing actually works in practiceFor the API route (what your clinic would use for intake evaluation):
You create an OpenAI account and an API key.
Your clinic software (or a custom app) sends patient summaries to o1.
OpenAI tracks:
Input tokens used
Output tokens generated
At the end of the month, you’re billed:
Total input tokens × input rate
Total output tokens × output rate
You can:
Set hard or soft spending limits in the OpenAI dashboard.
Monitor usage per day, per endpoint, etc.
There’s no flat “clinic license” for o1 itself—it’s all pay‑per‑use via tokens.
6. What I’d realistically expect for your clinicIf you:
Use o1 only for intake/triage recommendations
Keep prompts reasonably compact
Limit output to clear, structured recommendations + brief reasoning
Then a small clinic is likely in the ballpark of:
$50–$200/month in API costs for o1
Plus any developer cost to integrate it into your workflow

I would liek arough estimate of the cost of using Open AI 01 for 100 incoming patients a month and the recommnedations it would make. Thanks
Here’s a clean, realistic cost estimate for using OpenAI’s o1 to evaluate 100 incoming patients per month, based directly on the pricing shown in your open tab (input: $0.015 per 1K tokens, output: $0.060 per 1K tokens) .
Rough Monthly Cost for 100 Patients1. Typical token usage per patientFor a clinical intake evaluation, a reasonable estimate is:
Input tokens (your data → AI):
~1,500 tokens
(vitals, labs, meds, symptoms, history, structured prompt)
Output tokens (AI → recommendations):
~1,000 tokens
(triage level, differential diagnosis, red flags, next steps)
This is a realistic, moderate-length medical reasoning exchange.
2. Cost per patientInput cost1,500 tokens →
1.5 × $0.015 = $0.0225
Output cost
1,000 tokens →
1 × $0.060 = $0.060
Total per patient≈ $0.0825
(about 8 cents per full evaluation)
3. Monthly cost for 100 patients100 × $0.0825 ≈ $8.25 per month
Yes — it’s really that inexpensive at this scale.
Even if your prompts are longer and you double the token usage, you’re still around:
≈ $15–$20 per mont
How billing worksYou are billed per token, not per month.
OpenAI totals your input tokens and output tokens for the month.
You pay based on the rates shown in your tab:
$0.015 per 1K input tokens
$0.060 per 1K output tokens
No clinic-wide subscription is required for API use.
You can set spending limits and alerts.
What you get for that costFor each patient, o1 can generate:
Triage level
Differential diagnosis
Red-flag warnings
Medication interaction checks
Recommended labs or imaging
Suggested next steps
A reasoning chain explaining why
All under human supervision.
Bottom line
For 100 patients/month, using o1 as a clinical‑support AI costs:
About $8–$20 per month(depending on prompt length)
It’s one of the most cost‑effective ways to add AI‑assisted triage and intake support to a small clinic.
