What bts fs profession? and what they're up to right now? tyyyy 🤩🤩

BTS future spouses' current professions/work ✷

K. Seokjin: They could already be financially independent (maybe because of generational wealth - it feels like they belong to the “wealthy elite”), their current job could be sth business/sales related in the communication/journalism/entertainment or design/aesthetic/beauty industry. It feels like they are creating some type of image for an audience and their work makes others feel emotions (news or film industry could also be likely). Their job might actually be a bit plain or just easy going but creative - like they're already rich but need a high position to keep the image up or sth like that. They could also be active at night, maybe it’s additional work they are doing on the side (but this feels more out of passion). I also feel like they’re often donating for a good cause or they’re doing some type of charity work. They are overall very precise and skillful. I think the work they’re currently doing on the side (at night/after work) will become their new main profession later on but it’s still a work in progress.

M. Yoongi: Their current job might be quite stressful or frustrating. They could be working in the healthcare field because possible themes I got were medicine/science/biology/sports/safety/counseling. They could be in a leader position and have a teaching role - ex. training other people. It feels like a unique job. Probably an office job. They could also be some type of influencer in their free time - ex. sharing their wisdom (related to their work) also on social media. 

J. Hoseok: Interesting… his future spouse also seems to have the talent to be a good performer (musician/actor/dancer/entertainer) but they are currently working a “normal” office job (business/management/administration) related to communication, logistics, IT, information systems and/or religion (?)... even the national intelligence service and the military comes to my mind lol. It's a consistent and I wanna even say monotonous job and they’re often working overtime as well. So, they might not be really happy there but they keep doing this job because it pays well. uff…

K. Namjoon: For his future spouse, it’s a bit difficult to define their current job. What I’ve got was that they're doing a “9 to 5” job (with overtime lol) and it’s more so a low paid job but it’s satisfactory to them. They probably work alone or just very independently or as some type of freelancer. There is a possibility that they are an owner or some type of entrepreneur. It feels like a job that values tradition and rituals or it has a long standing history (not really modern job so to say). It could be that they took on the job of their parents - like they took over the family business. Or they work in the acquisition field. A part of their daily job activities could be communication or marketing related. They are possibly doing something with their hands, using tools or just manual labor in general. Farm work even? Maybe humanitarian careers - working as mediator or healer (in metaphorical way) or something related to history or human studies. Their work is inspiring to them and even others. It's a rather calm (- maybe because they work alone) and harmonious job. 

P. Jimin: Well, his future spouse seems to be working towards self-employment. It could be that they are currently jobless and maybe doing some type of training or they are still studying. the profession they are aiming towards could be in a male dominated workplace. It might be something related to ‘the outdoors’ or ‘environment’ like architecture, planning and environmental design or something like power plants, technology and/or electricity. There is a chance they're also currently in the military - maybe in the food providing section (?) but that’s just a possibility. I feel like their ‘dream job’ is ever-changing and inconsistent or there is a wide variety of jobs they wanna do. It seems like they will/want to do a job that is revolutionary in some way. They wanna give back to the community. That’s their main motivation.

K. Taehyung: His future spouse might also be doing a traditional office job at the moment. It feels like a management or accounting job. they’re probably being respected by their coworkers and recognized for their work but it’s quite stressful for them. it could be a position of authority in some way because they seem to have an influence on their working field. It could be related to law or public policy (ex. a lawyer's office, court or a governmental institution). Using technical tools might be a thing or maybe they’re working mostly on their computer? It seems like they are not really happy with their current job or it’s not how they imagined it to be. It feels like they want to leave it behind and start something else. The hospitality/tourism/travel section might be something they want to move towards. They could also be currently doing a part time job on the side or something they are doing from home… maybe it’s just a hobby or something like freelancing work. It seems to be something related to beauty/aesthetic/illusions/spirituality (neptunian energy). Maybe they’re active on social media in their free time in some type of way. -> after marriage

J. Jungkook: It seems like his future spouse is still studying. It could be something related to medicine/health/science/biology. I think their parents had an influence on their decision on what they should choose as a study subject. They could have a part time job at the moment. Their job or studies possibly involves caring for animals and/or people, public service and/or public recognition. Their part time job seems more like a consistent office job that is not very satisfying to them. I feel like they’re meant to shine and they do so naturally but the job they're doing is draining their energy - it feels like they're forced to hide or hold back and it’s very private. Or maybe they witness something or are exposed to something which they need to hide and all of this is messing with their head, ex. maybe the company they're working for is doing some shady stuff in relation to finance and because they are successful at their job, they indirectly support this (?). Either way, there is some heavy energy here that leads to a dead end. In addition, it seems like they are also active on social media as an influencer in some way and it might also be a small side income for them.

That’s when you realize it’s time to level up your hosting game. Enter: Netherlands dedicated servers—the secret weapon that’s turning heads in the world of online business.

If you’re wondering why the Netherlands is a hotspot for dedicated hosting, buckle up. I’m here to walk you through why this option could be the best investment for your business growth. Spoiler alert: It’s not just about the servers; it’s about what they can do for you.

Why a Dedicated Server Netherlands Is a Game-Changer

Dedicated servers are like having your own private parking spot in a crowded city—nobody else can use it, and you have all the space you need. Unlike shared hosting or VPS hosting, a dedicated server means the entire server is yours.

Now, when you pick the Netherlands as your hosting location, you unlock perks that go beyond the basics. Here’s why it’s worth the hype:

Currently, clinicians have big problems capturing information and learning the embedded lessons. Clinicians will heal their system.

By James Anthony

January 3, 2025

Healthcare grift was claimed to be the motive for gunning down the CEO of the largest health-payments corporation, UnitedHealthcare.

The USA is stuck in a second Great Inflation or Great Depression, this time driven significantly by the inflated prices of crony-socialist healthcare.

People are suffering and dying from epidemic mRNA vaccine-caused clotting and compromised-immunity diseases.

Healthcare prices are high. Healthcare benefits feel incommensurately small.

Clinicians should step up and make this stop.

Healthcare Production Is a Process, and Processes Can Be Improved

With healthcare processes, like with all processes, producers develop the processes to seize an opportunity more quickly than competitors can. Initial process development yields usable results, and at that point a process largely gets frozen in place.

As the process generates more resources over time, producers and hangers-on expand to use these resources to pay for self-imposed clinical trial extravagance, marketing, lobbying, regulations, media, lawsuits, derivative processes and products, and more, far exceeding what’s needed for the core process. The core engine of prosperity ends up pulling along a lot of riders.

Much can be gained by starting from scratch to still add the same value and to also capture opportunities the existing process misses, while leaving out everything that’s not essential.

Wonderfully organized, well-constructed post! I spent so much time thinking about healthcare issues that the spirit moved me to reboot and expand on this. (Disclaimer: I spent a few hours writing and I fear I don’t have much edit left to energy, or something 😅)

Owning so many companies, with so many different services, allows UnitedHealth to profit from their own mishaps. We have laws against such monopolies, in theory, but these laws are useless without meaningful action. This played out recently (Feb 2024), during the Change Healthcare breach:

The same source (An Arm and A Leg—an excellent podcast from NPR’s wonderful Dan Weissman) continues:

Providers who wanted to take their business elsewhere often found that it was useless—because some of the of the “competing” companies were also owned by United, and each insurance company decides which clearinghouses they will work with. Source? Me. I work in insurance billing and choosing vendors, configuring Clearinghouse software + assisting with electronic payment setup is something I frequently do for small group practices and solo providers. Several asked if they could avoid using Change and my answer was “no, Change is the only way to set up direct deposit with Anthem/Aetna/etc.”

(More venting below)

Every major insurance company needs a clearinghouse (otherwise we’d have to send all claims and payments via snail mail). Upon purchasing Change Healthcare, United Healthcare also obtained definitive information on what their competitors were paying for services, and how much of that cost was shared to the client in the form of a copay.

Providers aren’t allowed to share information about the rates they get but fuck that. My company can’t legally prevent me from telling coworkers my salary. Why does insurance get to bully people like that? Especially when they are treating providers like company employees and not independent contractors, which is how they are classified and paid. Allegedly the gag rule was repealed in NY state recently, but I haven’t bothered to check because…….i find it really hard to care. One disgruntled millennial screaming into the tumblr void is absolutely nothing compared to what insurance companies have done, and will continue to do, to fuck with the markets. (Even if aforementioned millennial had been gifted with hyper focus by the Autism gods and subsists entirely on espresso and spite.)

But back to the non-payments…from the Change Hack and the denied claims and the everyday negligence that is endemic to health insurance companies.

Maybe they do pay out the money eventually—the denials are overturned, the data breach gets fixed (ish) and the money starts getting paid out again…. Here’s the thing, though. As long as that money is in the insurer’s bank account, they get interest on it—oftentimes compound interest because behemoth companies have leverage to demand things like that from their vendors. In many cases, interest is due to providers for mishandled / wrongfully denied claims, but they rarely pay it out. I have seen insurance companies systemically underpay claims for months. It takes me, on average, about a year to resolve and I spend about 10-15 hours on this per month. When the correction payments role in, they come in without interest and I’m too exhausted to bring it up. In my state (NY), the timeline for prompt pay is 45 days but the specifics are never clearly defined… and if you wanted to fight for this money, if you had to time to fight for this money, if you knew your rights and where to find them, you’d still have to complain to the state. Anyway the interest payment is like 2% and amounts to pennies per claim. It’s way less than insurance gets for holding the money (from what I understand, and I’m sure they’re cooking the books with all that surplus cash they’re hoarding. At the end of the day, cash is an asset.

…

Propublica has been doing incredible work on lack of/barriers to receiving mental health care (on all insurance companies, not just United), including their questionable “algorithm” and disproportionate claims denials—UnitedHealth is, quantitatively speaking, The Literal Worst.

Wikipedia lists several different legal cases ranging from compliance failures, to excessive lobbying, to racketeering, to SEC violations, to manipulating insurance rates, to buying previously independent research groups, to influencing high-profile healthcare economists to publish and present misleading research on who is to blame for high health care costs (the culprit is everyone except for United, according to the researches hired by United) but what stands out to me is the Medicare overbilling:

You are defrauding the fucking government. You know the one that’s been tasked with enforcing the rule of law? How much gaul do you think that takes? “We will systemically defraud a government program that is highly popular with one of the most active voter blocks, confident that whatever happens, we will turn out fine.”

And it did turn out fine. The government didn’t fire them. United still offers Medicare Advantage plans. For the love of god, why??

All of this is gross, disgusting, infuriating and unfair. In my honest opinion, as someone who spent more time on the phone with insurance than anyone I know and love, I am begging you to consider a different takeaway:

- UnitedHealth is winning at capitalism, and capitalism is the system we are in. When I look at all this, my writer brain thinks “I could not come up with a better supervillain.” My business + econ brain things, “yeah, these are common strategies most companies take”… granted, companies do not normally try all these strategies at once, but United is big so they can.

- UnitedHealth can afford major fuckups. A lawsuit, a settlement, etc—it’s just cost of doing business for them. They’ve probably done the math and decided “yeah, the potential loss is much less than the possible gain here. Hold onto your hats and RELEASE THE ALGORITHM.”

- UnitedHealth cares little for bad press. What else are you gonna do, find another healthcare company? This is America, we really only have five. Most people have coverage through their employer so it’s not like you get a say. Capitalism gonna capitalism—your company will favor whatever costs coverage the least. The Amazons and Microsofts of the world have some bargaining leverage, but most companies don’t. Most companies won’t consider the cost of time spent dealing with a shitty insurance company, because that is an expense they passed on to you, dear worker.

- This happened because we let it. By “we”, I mean our government, our regulators. I don’t think the average citizen is culpable, but we do have influence.

…From my own anecdotal experience, I remember how strongly some people felt about the Affordable Care Act. I wouldn’t argue with them—that never works—but I would casually mention “well I have a pre-existing condition (depression), and when I sought treatment as a teen in the early Aughts, my parents (both social workers with private practices of their own) opted to pay full fee out of pocket because they worried I would never, ever get insurance coverage if the fact I sought treatment for depression ever appeared in my medical history. This new legislation saves me about a hundred dollars a week for the rest of my life, basically**.” because insurance can’t do that anymore, not since the ACA. (**ymmv, based on your deductible, but I won’t get into that right now.)

Anyway. If my first ACA comment went over well, I might add “I also enjoy not paying more for health insurance simply because I have a uterus and therefore might become pregnant some day, which is exceptionally frustrating because the same company will not cover my birth control or at least acknowledge that an unborn is very much like a parasite, or that giving birth is the most medically expensive thing you can do. There’s a risk I could die and/or my baby could die, if all parties survive the childbirth, the aforementioned offspring will most likely become a dependent on my health insurance plan, and that’s one more human that you’ll have to go through the trouble of denying claims for. That kind of labor doesn’t grow on trees!” This also changed (mostly) because of the ACA.

But my point is this. If privatized healthcare becomes as unpopular as universal health care once was, it might have a fighting shot under some administration (probably not this one, honestly)… if enough people make a fuss, and enough people come to see all the gaslighting that went into making us hate it in the first place.

Original Medicare is socialized health care. People like original Medicare. I don’t really work with it, but I’ve heard from other billers that it is straightforward and (relatively) easy to deal with, especially in light of the ceaseless industry horrors we’ve all come to accept. The few times that Medicare has come up, everyone is easy to talk to, friendly, and they’re all on shore—which is more expensive on paper but most cost efficient for me because they always know what they are talking about. If I work less, I can use those same billable hours doing more productive things like helping to grow the practice, improving office operations, or helping clients fight dumb claims denials.

We are the only industrialized country in the world that does not have Universal Healthcare. Maybe there are some industrialized counties in outer space that we have yet to discover. Idk. anything’s possible, but it wont change my argument. United Health care is the 9th largest company by revenue. The bulk of their business is in one country (US), with a healthcare system that looks radically different from all other industrialized companies. How the hell is that even possible?

When I learned about the death of Brian Thompson, I was not surprised to learn that health executives frequently face death threats. I do my best to exercise compassion in all circumstances but I did not find it readily accessible, here. You are literally killing people. Why are you surprised to learn that countless people believe that you too belong amongst the dead? In the words of my wonderful, talented friend John Minus: “if people are largely indifferent/enthused by your death, maybe you fucked up. That’s just science.”

The gremlin in me wants to argue that the money spent not denying so many goddamn claims could be offset by the costs of not having to worry about getting getting murdered but I just really, really want people to understand that it is so much worse than what you think. Evil innovates, just as capitalism intended. People are getting paid unfathomable amounts of money to visualize and execute more heinous schemes than the average salt-of-the-earth human could ever hope to imagine.

(10-k = 10-K is a comprehensive annual report filed by publicly traded companies. It is mandated by the US SEC (Securities Exchange Commision). The 10-K outlines the company’s current financial situation, risks going forward, and the general strategy. It also includes a detailed summary of the company's financial performance, organizational structure, financial statements, earnings per share, subsidiaries, executive compensation, and any other relevant data (as per Investopedia.)It’s incredibly fascinating if you are into such things.
