My aunt in Canada has had 2 hip replacements. And while she did have to wait, which is worse: waiting and not being in crushing medical debt? Or waiting a bit and having almost no costs?
Why wait for them to act? It’s already bad enough.

It’s the natural evolution of capitalism to descend into imperialism and fascism. The republicans, or ‘classical liberals’ are just the vanguard, while the dems, or ‘neoliberals’ are the brake.
At best the dems are just slowing the speed of the descent. But without a systemic change, it’s inevitable.
Really good read about the parts of the internet that people love, but that aren't profitable.

This is exactly correct. Child of the early 70s.
I heard my peers say this about the 80s and had to laugh and laugh.
For every Prince, there were 100 sucky bands.
This is an excellent read on the idea.

In recent years, these sites have been used to pass information quickly during crisis. This can be anything like natural disaster, or uprising and protests.
These big aggregators being incompetently, mismanaged and taken down from public use at the same time, makes me wonder if it’s an attempt to quash communication that’s not coming from a government or mega-corp.
The revolution will not be televised.. by the people.
That's literally all I've heard in the USA my entire life.
"We're protecting you from:
Soviet Communists
Arab Terrorists
Illegal Aliens
Communist China
ISIS
Putin's Russia"
I guess when your country can't go 2 years without starting a war somewhere, you get used to it. -
I couldn’t remember the last time I played a video game.
I realized I’d showed my kids a browser version of Super Mario Bros after taking them to the movie.
No way I’d survive a year.
Thank you, I love this.
I puttered with an oud for a couple years but it was not a good one and playing it was frustrating.
Would love to try a really nice one.
This is a really good read. Your post reminded me of it.
I think a lot of us are feeling similar.

This is capitalism. It doesn’t care where it comes from or how the money comes in. But b***h better have my money.
This is why the country is going to hell. It can’t even invest in infrastructure anymore because there’s no short term profit in it.
Welcome to our late stage capitalist nightmare.
