I agree. Unfortunately that would implode the western financialized system all the way to the middle class so your options tend to be revolution or waiting for it to blow itself up. I’d personally speed it up like condemnation of vacant properties and liquidity provided by state development banks to homeowners and businesses to buy said properties instead of waiting for vulture capitalists (blackrock) to buy things up when they’re the only ones with liquidity.

Because one of the biggest obstacles of continuity of care is handing over the patient. We try to write accurate notes and try to give complete report but there’s always stuff lost. You hope whoever you hand off to gets a chance to actually read progress notes but that’s not realistically going to happen. That’s why we don’t tend to do three shifts. Report easily takes 15 to 30 minutes of just talking and we still miss stuff.

Now you can set it up so this isn’t an issue but that requires staffing for clean documentation. I’d also like a pony.

Yeah I mean that goes hand in hand with the living wage argument. Where that goes and who absorbs the cost is in the weeds. Ex: landlords extract based on expected potential profit margins of the renter for commercial real estate so theoretically if margins drop everywhere all at once because of increased labor costs then rents drop to pay for that labor because unutilized real estate loses money. Unfortunately landlords are financed by banks and their mortgages create sticky price points that are very resistant to those drops. This isn’t taking into account general political resistance to property devaluation (which is huge). So telling you who is going to pay for it beyond saying “eventually it’ll get paid” is kinda impossible. Could be the worker, could be the consumer who is the worker, could be the capitalist, could be finance. Generally it’s a little of all. But you need strong unions to protect what little you got.

I dunno what to tell you. It’s not like you’re getting the fruits of your labor in the first place. They’re already paying you as little as they can get away with. How it shakes out depends on what economic frame you’re going with, but the idea is at least the lowest wage 4 day week is a living one. I don’t think getting into the weeds with inflation and such is worth it for this. Just accepting that you’re already not getting a realistic “piece of the pie” in any measurable sense should be enough.

Unfortunate picture. At my hospital nurses work 3 12s. That’s how we look after a run of 4. 36 hours treated as full time. Don’t really know how that would relate to a proposed 4 day workweek for normies.

Cue settlement because Meta cannot stomach discovery on this one. As the article shows, this lawsuit comes from discovery in a different lawsuit. These are the sorts of dominos that trigger settlements.

we are not building a central face database

I honestly cannot understand why the parent company of Facebook would actually release such a parody sounding response

There’s always tons of carveouts on these bills because companies have been doing this since forever. Now it’s just automated. Screwing people over with information asymmetry is older than Adam Smith. Needs much bigger reforms to approach fairness that no state house is willing to stomach so all the bills just end up leaking like a sieve.

She divorced him.

Kay Ivey is twice divorced with no children.

Listen, I’m not being judgemental about what you do with your cloaca. I don’t understand the thing in the first place.

Funny stuff. Realize these chloroplasts themselves are organelles that derived from some bacteria some plant ancestor took on much like mitochondria are. So we’re not just taking stuff from plants here, we’re creating a retina in the most ass backwards way we could.

A Berkshire Hathaway company. Thanks Warren.

Well yeah, compare this to ebola response if you want to see how clear the institutional rot is. That was also a pretty low risk threat in the US but hospitals were clearly indicated the plan for outbreaks and given training metrics and were designated as local response sites. CDC was on the ground and public health gears moved.

All of the clay gets compressed which means the water can’t drain into the ground anymore and the underground drainage canals get damaged. And then the city turns back into a fucking lake after it goes between drought and flooding because the only way to create a surface water reservoir is to turn the now sunken city back into a goddamn toxic and polluted lake/marsh. That or attempt to geoengineer it into a desert which also defeats the purpose of human habitation. Eventually “fixing” the problems will become more expensive than what they’re worth for more development but nobody really knows where that inflection point lies for the valley of Mexico.

At least the AP offers the perspective that this is likely just state terrorism even if it’s understated.

Yeah but that’s like my default interaction with the internet in the first place pre llm.

Seriously folks, tossing aside potential liberation theology allies is not praxis.

I was really interested in who the pervert experts were, but it turns out it was just human rights groups.
