I hate the concept of a social contract. I didnt sign any such thing. And how da fuck is it the fault of doctors that america is thw worlds greates third world country.
Yeah I'm buying, it's my only hope for a partial retirement. It has also been a money pit. I have no savings or retirement funds. The bank will 100% take it if I miss a few payments.
literally looking at Berkey water filters for that reason. also, pretty happy to have been working on some home farming skills as well. totally fine country. normal even. TOTALLY NORMAL. 🙃
Farming skills don't help against some company spraying forever chemicals into the environment. These are issues you can't run away from and need a societal approach.
One case reported that a man who consumed two to four liters of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache, and ptosis of the right eyelid, as well as elevated serum chloride.[30] In the two months it took to correctly diagnose the problem, the patient also lost the ability to walk. Eventually, bromism was diagnosed and hemodialysis was prescribed which resulted in a reversal of the disorder.
This article is infuriating. Ok, so Medicare paid hospitals $106k-182k to train doctors in 2015… and as someone who graduated from residency in 2014, we were making $40k-55k. So the hospitals were pocketing 60-75% of the payments, and doctors are supposed to feel grateful?
The solution is obvious: if you want psychiatrists to take Medicare, pay them. CMS has already shifted payments toward primary care because they know it’s necessary, but are dragging ass on psychiatry. They could easily fix the shortage of psychiatric services for low income patients by actually incentivizing it, if they actually wanted to.
Replace the “social contract” with an actual contract and you’ll see results.
Why do these fuckers get to just shove literally anything out there and only pull it once a regulatory body forces it out??? (BTW thanks Supreme Court for neutering said regulatory body 🖕)
WHY aren’t we forcing all this shit to be proven safe first
They can do whatever they want until it's proven harmful. Time after time they've done internal studies showing the shit is toxic and they bury it.
Never any criminals charges, maybe some financial compensation after long court battle but never more than they profit.
Capitalism only works by externalizing these costs. They want you to believe, need you to believe it's not a zero sum game but it's not. It's just these externalities.
Monetary policy doesn't get to defy the laws of the universe, profit doesn't come from the ether.
We pay with our health and our lives.
And it's never acceptable to say this is not a good system, we have to propose an immediate alternative or we're pigeonholed as a communist or whatever the capitalist limited mind is stuck on. Like a Christian assuming one either worships Christ or Satan because it's unfathomable to choose neither. We are living through a capitalist inquisition.
