I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'

One source of rage for me is that the party of grift, racism, and cruelty co-opted the word pro-life. I'm a pediatrician. I want kids and their parents to live healthy and fulfilling lives. But "pro-life" means exactly the opposite. Force the kids to be born and then leave them high and dry. nah
A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

This is very real. I had a recent shift with FOUR pediatric traumas related to E-bikes and E-scooters - 3 ended up in the OR. Femur fracture, open elbow joint, and scrotal degloving. 😳
E-bikes and e-scooters are convenient, but our emergency department is seeing more serious injuries tied to crashes. Physicians explain what you should know to reduce your risk of injury and the laws you need to know.
