A Plea For Responsibility

The Cost of Spent Life

The Twisting Tail

Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans
John Lennon

Monoku: numbers don’t add up

ten thousand grains of rice, still the jar is empty


Epitaph: under the phallic tombstone

Here lies Michael Dickson
Mostly just known as Mick
But I knew his father better
So I called him a son of a dick


Couplet: choice makes the difference

In life, choice defines a way of livin’
In death, there is no quarter given


Get busy living or get busy dying

Stephen King


Shadorma: overcome costs

To enjoy
Ordinary life
Is no life
But to fight
Only able to survive
surrenders to fate


Each person's destiny is thought of as a thread spun, measured, and cut by the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.


Aquarian: inner demons

journey
within observe
pandemonium reigns
in Hell


You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough

Florida Pharmacy Owners Sentenced in Tennessee for Multimillion-Dollar Nationwide Telemedicine Pharmacy Fraud Scheme | OPA | Department of Justice

Peter Bolos, 44, of Tampa, was convicted by a federal jury in December 2021 of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, 22 counts of mail fraud and introduction of a misbranded drug into interstate commerce. U.S. District Judge J. Ronnie Greer sentenced Bolos to 14 years in prison and ordered him to pay more than $25.6 million in restitution and $2.5 million in forfeiture. The court also sentenced Bolos’s co-defendant, Michael Palso, 48, of Tampa, to 33 months in prison and ordered him to pay more than $24.6 million in restitution. Palso previously pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy, as did 14 other defendants in related cases. The remaining defendants are scheduled to be sentenced later this week.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Bolos, Palso and their co-conspirators, Andrew Assad, Scott Roix, Larry Smith, Mihir Taneja, Arun Kapoor and Maikel Bolos, as well as various other companies owned or controlled by some of these individuals, deceived pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), such as Express Scripts and CVS Caremark, regarding tens of thousands of prescriptions. The PBMs processed and approved claims for prescription drugs on behalf of insurance companies. Bolos and his co-conspirators defrauded the PBMs into authorizing millions of dollars’ worth of claims that private insurers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, and public insurers such as Medicaid and TRICARE, paid to pharmacies controlled by the co-conspirators.

Do Better Wednesdays, Writing Process: Editing out a Chapter

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This part of chapter six is mentioned later, so appears to be redundant:

Many groups require their students to give an hour or two of their time each week, or even ten or more hours per week, to a charity of their choice. This time spent in giving to a segment of their community is commendable, but does not contribute to solving the actual problem of the lack of critical thinking skills, nor any other difficult individual and societal problems. Teaching a person a critical life skill from scratch, however, does.
