The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

The US exiting WHO is practically absurd. We live in a connected, global society. All diseases are one plane ride away. As long as we continue to have flights coming in, there is no escaping new pandemic level disease spreading. Quitting WHO is stifling ourselves with information and data.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky
The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

2. Funding. The US is the biggest funder of the WHO. Philanthropic organizations and individuals as well as countries (the Gulf states are singled out) must step up to restore the deficit from the US.

If I were asking Trump questions at today's presser, and I had to limit my question to inflation, I'd ask him: How is Pres. Biden responsible for inflation in Germany, UK, France, and the other G7 countries, since their inflation rates over the last four years have been indistinguishable from US?

G7 inflation rates increased sharply in 2022 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Not to mention aquifers and oxygen shade and holding soil together
Trees and other plants are an important solution component. Along with efficiency, solar, nuclear, geothermal electricity, urban design, food production design, overall ecosystem evolution

'(...) cell sizes vary over an enormous seven orders of magnitude from red blood cells to the largest muscle fibers, comparable to the mass ratio of a shrew to a blue whale. This raises the question: What is the size distribution of cells over the entire human body?'

5/ Focusing on the user experience also results in product architecture that allows *users* to be in the driver’s seat — not Bluesky.

Unlike other social media companies that ask, “what’s good for shareholders?,” bsky doesn’t USE users; its model is not extractive, e.g. “we need eyeballs for ads.”

This. Also, get involved in the climate movement somehow, using your unique talents and passions. And don’t strive for perfection in any of it. Just help push things in a better direction. Human systems, after all, are made up of individuals.
None of this stuff really matters for climate change. The big items for us as individuals are:

- how much & how clean we drive & travel
- how much & how clean we heat & cool our homes (and we should heat and cool as much as we need to be safe)
- the carbon intensity of what we eat
- do we vote

Especially getting at the #TemporalLogic and #StructuralOrganization of the statements
I’m not sure where I got it from but I’ve always been under the impression that good liars understand adding in more details of a story ups the believability factor.

I feel like this study just found a bunch of *bad liars*.

Folks. Just a recommendation. Fill out your profile. Put a bio in so people know something about who you are if you want people to follow you. I’m seeing a lot of teachers with no bio promoting @donorschoose and wishlist. I’m being lenient because we are all new here .

Please don’t take it personally. I “reject” all gods not just yours.

Although, it’s hard to reject something that has never been demonstrated to exist. I think it’s better to just say I don’t believe in any gods. #atheist

Rising inequality left unaddressed will erode social cohesion

We don’t have politicians who focus on this issue

America is a good example of the dysfunction that results when society is hugely unequal in opportunity and financial security

We need a more diverse Parliament to look at this

Organizational #wellness programs for physicians and #HCWs often put heavy emphasis on individual resiliency. Yet systems issues are major drivers of burnout. Here is a systems level approach to consider.
