Most probably to attract interest in Twitter and generate money to offset losses incurred by acquisition.
Maybe also have a histrionic personality disorder (mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed).
I had treatment for kidney stones and was scolded by my doctor for skipping my bladder cancer exam for the past ten years.
So I underwent the test today and they found one small tumor which needs to be removed by surgery. It could be benign or malignant. After it is removed, tests will be conducted.
Lucky that the doctor insisted on the cystoscopy to look at my bladder. Unluckily, the cancer returned after over 23 years.
Hopefully, no more tumors for another two decades.
Luckily, I live in South Korea where there is national medical insurance and medical care is affordable. The government keeps raising premiums and lowering the income threshold requiring people to make insurance payments.
Previously, if annual income was below around $30,000, you could be covered by your spouse's or children's medical insurance. They lowered it to around $16,000.
Medical costs have greatly increased during the past few years. Some procedures like MRIs and others have rocketed and many hospitals/clinics seem to be abusing the system.
How much does the average person spend on medical services?
Googled it.
"The US spends around $12,530 a year per person on healthcare. Canada spends $6,413 less per person each year than the US. South Koreans spent approximately $3,500 per capita on health."
Before the district elections in May, or around there, big corporations pledged to invest billions of dollars into Korea to create jobs and growth in order to support the conservative party candidates and it worked again. Seems to be a time-honored tradition.
But only Samsung has announced plans to invest billions in new semiconductor plants.
The article said, "Of the companies that have established 2023 plans, 67.3 percent said their 2023 investments will be similar to this year's levels. Nearly 14 percent replied they will increase investments next year, while 19.2 percent answered they will cut back on their investments".
I noticed that about three gas stations and around five car repair shops have closed in Seoul. There are plenty more, but it seems to be a trend as I also see a lot of electric vehicles, which have a different color license plate.
The Seoul City government has been giving out low interest loans to develop real estate in the old parts of Seoul with old and worn out houses and buildings.
Several neighborhoods have been renovated with new buildings and apartments.
Even some of the old houses and building in my neighborhood have been turned into condominiums, townhouses and apartments.
These were built when property prices in Seoul were rapidly rising. Now, they are rapidly falling.
One of the studio apartment buildings charges too much for rent and has been completely vacant for a year now. I wonder if the owner will ever decide to lower the rent. Probably rich enough to wait it out indefinitely.
Lots of vacant apartments and office space in Seoul these days. Some have started to lower rent prices slightly.
As predicted, Yoon's approval rating went up to the low to mid-thirty percent range depending on poll after he stopped the informal daily brief meeting with reporters on his way to work at the entrance of the building.
Yoon and the conservative party has accused the Democratic Party of being criminals, commie lovers, corrupt and even has the ministry of justice investigating everyone and their families.
And now they ask the Democratic Party for cooperation on passing next year's budget in the parliament but won't compromise?
The leader of the Democratic Party stated that if the ruling party isn't willing to negotiate the budget, the Democratic Party will have no choice but to make amendments to the budget and approve it unilaterally with their majority in the parliament.
