Sometimes keeping up is just so damn hard



From the "Facts" folder...



                     The new administrator of the VA has no administrative experience, none.



To replace David Shulkin, an experienced hospital administer who previously oversaw Beth Israel Medical Center and was a pioneer in patient centered care, Trump has selected … his personal physician. The one who says Trump is 6’3” and not obese. 
The experience that the new head of the Department of Veterans Affairs has in running healthcare organizations appears to be limited to the running of himself. Dr. Ronnie Jackson finished medical school in 2004, and served a year in Iraq as an an emergency physician. From there he was appointed a White House physician in 2006, and has been there ever since.  Now he is running the 2nd largest organization in the Federal Government.



Beer Sales by millions of cans sold
Bud Light     35.250        16.2%
Coors Light   17.125       7.9%
Budweiser    14.375       6.6%
Miller Lite     13.240      6.2%
The vast majority of Americans drank no Bud Light in 2016.  In fact the total number of people who drank Bud Light at any point in the previous month during that year is estimated to have been about 28.5 million.  That, as it were, is the Bud Light nation — a nation not much smaller than Canada or California, whose residents imbibed an average of 409(!) Bud Lights in 2016.
Given the typical distribution of consumption within this sort of cohort, this means that the 10% of regular Bud Light drinkers who performed the most herculean feats — that is, a group made up of nearly three million people — must have each on average drunk many thousandsof Bud Light beers in the course of the year that.
I know a guy who averages roughly 22 beers a day or about 8,000 beers a year. Starts promptly at 7 each morning and rolls with a nice, mellow buzz all day long.

  1. I used to like White Castle's burgers. And I drank Budweiser, not that Lite stuff. Far in the past now.

    1. I still like White Castle, they have the little cheeseburger in the freezer section at Vons...60 seconds in the microwave and you have a tasty but somewhat nasty little snack. Beers stats surprise to me was how far Miller Lite has fallen behind, they were the original.
