The parts about Palantir and Tyson play right in line with what I remember in TN. People were dying and the Tyson contractors just moved ops. To hear it was due to AI and they chose not to protect the workers is so gross, they had the predictions and they made that choice, it's worse than ignorance

Don’t donate to or defend any politician or PAC who will trade away human rights using the right wing sneer about identity. They are telling you that you’re disposable for their quest to power.
“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.
CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.

Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

If they stopped gutting ACA we would have that in a portal where others are buying the same which is buying in bulk and not as individuals
I wonder if they know most large employers self-insure their employees but go through the insurance companies due to those negotiated prices.

I think of Occupy regularly. I see it as the turning point where TN really started cracking down on the 1st Amendment. Occupy protests camped on a !MARBLE! courtyard. Now we have laws against camping, protesting can require permits and coordination, if you do it wrong you can be charged w a felony

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

President Donald Trump said during his campaign that he would wield college accreditation as a “secret weapon” to root out DEI and other “woke” ideas from higher education. Now, a consortium of six Southern university systems - including Tennessee- has summer launched its own accreditation agency.
Accreditation of colleges, once low key, has gotten political • Tennessee Lookout
When six Southern public university systems this summer formed a new accreditation agency, the move shook the national evaluation model that higher education has relied on for decades.

I recently saw how tall/skinnies actually work for density. I thought my friend's place in Denver was like the places in Nash. Then I visited on the light rail, walked a few blocks and found it was in a block of 6-8 units w garages, where a single bungalow once stood. It suddenly made sense
