Has anyone thought about the pollution of the Caribbean water if all those exposed boats really do have drugs in them???
I wonder why they don't just seize the boats rather than kill the ecosystem and fish down there.
Ugh

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have.

We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

There is no insurance that would cost us $80 a month

The problem is these people have been rich for so long and on the taxpayer tit, with free health insurance for life, they don’t know what the costs are

I’m on Traditional Medicare. Otherwise known as socialized medicine for old people.
It works GREAT.

(By the way - do NOT get a Medicare “Advantage” plan. They’re run by big insurance companies, FOR big insurance companies.)

Healthcare is not a consumer product.
People's lives are not a consumer good.

America needs Universal Healthcare.

Pre-authorizer, on the phone with Senator-patient:

"Sir, please upload the three competitive bids for your MRI."

"I'm having a stroke and need the imaging IMMEDIATELY"

"Sir, you voted for price shopping. This is your requirement.
Please upload three competitive bids for your MRI.
Good bye."

He's a dipshit of epic proportions.
In 2017 b4 he was elected was quoted in a KState collegial article that we should all have no health insurance(pharaphrased)
College students didn't care
Was a safe place to spout Federalist propaganda to the ignorant 19yr Olds

This is sick article

We’ve reached the point in the destruction of the First Amendment where right wingers can literally say they want to murder those of us on the left, but if we simply repost their words that’s a fireable offense.

These firings, with zero due process, are violations of widely accepted principles of academic freedom & are completely unacceptable. College & university administrators MUST NOT exploit these shocking events to censor protected speech & concentrate their own power.

Firing liberal/critical journalists has always been part of their plan. They're obviously determined to use Kirk's killing as a pretext.
It shows how far into authoritarianism we’ve descended that journalists can be fired for simply acknowledging what a right-wing activist said and not participating in collective hagiography.

Democracy dies in darkness indeed.
Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

These firings seem to be another decapitation on the 1st amendment.

Do we really have free speech still??

No
I don't think so.
It feels threatening to say anything about anything.

The right wing power structure has brought descent to heel.
