What is the highlight of Coffee with Scott Adams?
I won't settle for less. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'll bet you've never had a better time in your whole stinking life. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their shiny, tiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, the canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everybody Body happy. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens right now. Go. I don't think your life stinks. What are you talking about? Has anybody picked up a Dilbert 2025 calendar? You better hurry.
I would say in the next week or so, if you order them, you're pretty safe to get them before Christmas. Every week that goes by, a little less safe to get it before Christmas, but still worth doing. And you can only get them at the link that you'll find at Dilbert.com. You cannot find it anywhere else in the world. No bookstores. No other online source. Just go to Dilbert.com and you'll see the link to the sales page right there. And that is all the commercials that I need to give you right now. Your girlfriend got you one for Christmas? Now that girlfriend is a keeper. In fact, that would go so far as to say, if your loved one does not give you a Dilbert calendar for a holiday, maybe rethink the whole relationship. All right.
Well, so there's news today that another study that says that statins might be more bad for you than good. And that cholesterol might be more good for you than bad. Now, I'm not going to make a claim that any of these claims or counterclaims are true. I will make a claim that I'm not so sure anything in healthcare is real. Is anybody having the same crisis that I am? That
What are the latest findings on statins?
I'm not sure anything's real in healthcare. And here's my problem. Anytime that the treatment depends on somebody did a big study and there was a lot of data and there was a lot of variables and a lot of assumptions, and when they were done, they found a good solid 30% improvement if you took the drug. I'm not sure any of those are real. But if you do the test and people who take the drug you know, live and the other ones don't. And, you know, it's a cure. I do believe cures because I think it would be hard to hide a cure, but I'm not sure we can really measure a 30% improvement in anything. It feels like the people doing the study could always find a way to make it 30% or look like it's 30% better in some way. So I just don't believe anything that says, well, we'll give you a,
You know, 26% improvement. But again, I tell you, do not believe anything that cartoonists tell you about healthcare. So, you know, talk to your doctor. I don't want to talk you out of or into any kind of drug. But I'm just telling you that as a consumer of such things, I really do not know what to believe anymore when it comes to healthcare. Well, here's a story that New York Post seems to have... managed to get wrong, in my opinion, but we'll see. So there's an Emmy-winning TV reporter, Rachel Yankunis. Now, she was abruptly fired, according to the New York Post, because her bosses were shortchanging her, she claims, that male colleagues were getting all kinds of support and camera crews were being sent out.
So the males were getting lots of support, But she was not. And so she's, I don't know, suing them or something. Now, here's a tiny little thing that was also in the article. She was on a performance improvement plan. Have you ever heard of that? It's called a PIP in corporate America, a PIP, performance improvement plan. Is there anybody here who has ever been a manager and put anybody on a performance improvement plan? Do you know what that means? It means you're one of the lowest performers in the department. That's why you're on it. Basically, the performance improvement plan says you're going to be fired if you continue the way you've been going. A PIP is literally a performance improvement plan.
