Of course, but it sets an example, proves to people that Linux can be mainstream and usable well beyond the corners where that mindset already exists.

It’s excellent advertising and promotion.

Fillion’s response is gold.

Imperfect Foods used to deliver weekly, perishables included, and they ended up being bought out by Misfit Market. Now, it’s overpriced crunchy product, like shopping Whole Foods from home instead of saving on ugly carrots, grapefruit sized cabbage, and overstock.

They’re not out of business yet. There is a market for perishables and produce delivery. and people are used to Amazon so they may win on this, sadly.

This is what is needed to push back on Microsoft.

Probably.

What regulations?

Because 3 year olds are often members of sleeper cells.

MAGAs are the gun owners. Mostly.

Ofc not. But it’s an abject showing of what you can count on them for going forward.

This is why I worry. It’s likely correct in that we’re heading for fallout. But here we are.

Here’s another issue. Can we believe any of the numbers being posted on federal .gov sites any more?

I’ve been reading a lot about the inception of the welfare Queen idea, as pushed by Reagan first in California and then in our government as a whole ever since. So I initially started reading this as Trump numbers to support that nonsense.

I want to believe it is what it says it is, a warning sign to us all.

The GOP threat was to primary anyone who voted no. They did it to be yes men and not get primaried.

I love how so many believe anyone and everyone can “just move”. Moving, even locally, is beyond the means of many.

CNAs, RTs, and Nurses can, and often do, live paycheck to paycheck. This is variable among mid levels.

Maybe doctors can “just move”. It’s more likely, based on income. And backgrounds. Maybe. Again, you can’t know the circumstances or the breadth of the language barrier.

Canada maybe. It’s my understanding the income is fixed, across the board, and RNs with 2yr degrees could only work as LPNs in Canada, regardless of experience.

Again. Circumstances vary.

“Just move” isn’t good advice unless you know someone well enough to know it’s good advice for them.

Healthcare started laying people off, including nurses, engaging hiring freezes, and tightening 2 months ago. After the senate pass, they’ve promised more cuts.

This is simply how the GOP raises money now.

And the judicial branch of government is officially dead.

Don’t forget about defunding rural hospitals.

Hospital income is 30-60% Medicare & Medicaid. Urban leans towards 30%. Rural and critical access lean heavily to the 60% side of things.

As such, the expectation should be cuts in medical service availability.

The biggest loss leader in the medical hospital line up is mother/baby & NICU. This is why not every hospital has these services. Or why a corporate chain in an area has 1 between their hospitals. The expectation here needs to be that less mother/baby services will be available going forward.

Don’t think for one second that hospitals cannot shut down.
