25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

A&E waiting times are shocking. Over 50,000 people in England waited more than 12 hours in November, after the decision to admit. But that has been the case for each of the last 3 winters! And the system is failing to recover in the summer.
We need to acknowledge the systemic issue, not blame flu.

Typical PE business model - cut staff/wages, high debt, asset stripping, price hikes, sweat assets, profit shifting, tax abuse, extract high returns, move on to the next victim.
