Seems president of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum has solid plan to consolidate agencies / services, implement digital IDs / consolidated medical records, meet UN WHO 2030 Sustainable Development Guidelines SDG 3.8 universal health coverage #UHC #UHC2030 👍🤘🖖 US needs single-payer #MedicareForAll #M4A #AmeriCare!

It's not that long until the vapid promises of Medicare for All (M4A) will start floating around.

I was hoping it would come about within my lifetime to save me some trouble. As usual with these things, I'm starting to run short of "lifetime."

Who will be the first to mumble that promise?

#m4a #MedicareForAll

I have a large local #musiclibrary—mostly #flac with some #m4a. I sync it between my #nas and four computers using #rsync.
Unfortunately, I recently discovered that some files appear to be corrupted, even though I've always checked the rsync logs. 🫢

I'll need to scan the entire library now to see how widespread the damage is. I first noticed something was wrong when a few tracks started skipping mid-song while playing via #mpd / #mpc.

I guess nothing lasts forever—not even music files. 😞

Healthcare isn’t just a moral argument.
It’s a systems argument.

Lower admin costs.
Negotiated pricing.
Better preventative care.
Fewer bankruptcies.

The Benefits of Single-Payer Healthcare: A Cost-Effective Approach to Health Outcomes https://blueribbonteam.com/blog/2024/10/31/the-benefits-of-single-payer-healthcare-a-cost-effective-approach-to-health-outcomes/ #M4A

There's a lot to be done, eg,
#Resist via #GeneralStrike

until meaningful policies like
#AbolishICE
#SCOTUSpurge
#EpsteinTrials
#M4A
can happen (initially through state-by-state #SoftSuccession )

...but this (link below) is correct. Without enforcing #RedLionDecision by re-instituting the #FairnessDoctrine you cannot ever truly achieve #MediaLiteracy and reform in #USPolitics

And if you're #Ukraine #EU or #Canada , you should angle for this in the states, too.
