Scam...*
Doctors have long prescribed a muscle relaxant [cyclobenzaprine] to treat back strains, using five- or 10-milligram pills.
However, doctors who dispense the drugs directly to patients have recently embraced a new pill that contains 7.5 milligrams of the muscle relaxant. There is no evidence the pill works any better except for doctors and the middlemen. They can charge about ten times as much.
States have moved to crack down on so-called physician dispensing of prescription drugs. But doctors and companies have responded by exploiting loopholes in those rules.
Anew dosages of two older painkillers, tramadol and hydrocodone have also appeared. The study is financed by insurers and state governments.
By producing a novel dosage, a manufacturer could also create a new “average wholesale price” for that dose that bore little relation to existing forms of the drug and could be many times higher. Need some actions against the greed.
Side...*
United states forces are still in Syria after the defeat of ISIS. The forces are supporting some Syrian rebels who are fighting against the gov!!! No time line of when these forces leave.
What would that do to the little peaceful people who in many cases can't find food or medicine?

QE-Minus
The S&P 500’s lengthy bull run began in 2009 as the Federal Reserve fired up quantitative easing. Suppressing bond yields and financial market volatility via QE has certainly been a boon for equities.
The big central banks have bought some $14tn of assets Plus close to Zero Interest rate, providing a very supportive tide of liquidity for global equities led by the S&P 500.
Now as the Fed looks to start reducing its $4.5tn balance sheet this year and the European Central Bank discusses tapering bond purchases in 2018, equities will soon need to reflect a reduction in the so-called punchbowl.
The swing in global liquidity will weigh on the performance of stocks, with the Fed, ECB, BOE about to reduce its balance sheets. For now, there appears further room for equities to run higher but not far.

Porter...
Rob Porter, a top White House aide with regular access to President Donald Trump abruptly resigned amid abuse allegations from two ex-wives, who each detailed to CNN [ the most trusted name in the News ] what they said were years of consistent abuse from Porter, including incidents of physical violence.
Porter's first wife and second wife, both said their ex-husband's consistent abuse was the reason for their respective divorces.
White House chief of staff John Kelly called Porter "a man of true integrity and honor and I can't say enough good things about him."
