Michael A. Chihak: Power vs. power: Mayes vs. TEP

      We need structural change. That means eliminating prior authorization barriers. Healthcare has been redesigned from promoting health to extracting wealth.

                      Gasoline prices have increased more than $1 a gallon during the last month, as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues.

                        As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates, several state legislatures and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are calling for a pause on the development of AI data centers. They worry about lost jobs for working people and the potential dangers of superintelligence.
