Next week, France is forced yet again to reduce output and in some cases completely shut down nuclear reactors as the high temperatures heats up the cooling water they take from rivers beyond acceptable limits. This is the new normal now and will only get worse over the following years as we collectively ignore #ClimateChange
@mzedp We have a fusion reactor in the sky without any nuclear waste disposal problem. We don't need terrestrial reactors or their problems.
I know I keep saying it, but EVERYONE in the US needs to understand that if nursing homes close and the people in them don’t have the medicaid funding that pays for their housing and care, EVERYONE who uses a hospital anywhere in the US will suffer. It will take no time before ERs are full of long-stay homeless elderly and disabled people. There will be no staff or rooms to take care of heart attacks, trauma, and strokes. The cost to hospitals will close many hospitals.
The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

Try this one on and see how you feel:

Patients with dead kidneys need dialysis to survive. Most of them are on Medicaid. Kick them off, they can’t get dialysis. They wait until the last possible moment to go to the ER, where we admit them for dialysis, putting them into heinous debt. One day they wait too long. Their lungs fill with fluid and they drown while sitting on the couch gasping for air.

It already happens. It got less common after Obamacare. Do you want more of it now?

@TheOldGuy #Alt4you Drawing of a tree, named EXECUTIVE with 2 branches. One is already sawed off, it's name was LEGISLATIVE. On the right hand side there is a man in a robe (i.e. judge) and is sawing off the branch he stands on. Its name is JUDICAL.

The drawing is signed by Bremhall '25 NYDN

@TheOldGuy Apparently, the Constitution is a suicide pact.
