I hope this: "Everything feels like a scam" from AOC talks to NPR about Trump’s political tipping point : NPR https://www.npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5306406/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-politics-interview is connected to @pluralistic (Cory Doctorow's) work. To me his description of the structural issues how we got here are clear and the solution he envisions is one that would work. https://pluralistic.net/2025/02/26/ursula-franklin/#

Day 2: making the batter. Highly recommend taking an extra cup of cider, heating & spiking to aid the chef.

Fun fact! If you crank some ovens up above 500, it'll kick on the broiler. If your standing rib roast is so big it touches the top you'll get a nice flambé touch --- a kiss of charcoal! Luckily I was peeking a lot and was able to get the fire out. Merry Christmas everyone!

The article goes on to demonstrate a key factor, in my opinion, is every hospital and community care center attempting to self optimize to maximize profit and basically rely on someone else to provide the beds.

I dunno, maybe we'd have a public interest in maintaining hospital capacity. Actual article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/12/17/pediatric-bed-shortage-tripledemic-rsv-flu-covid/
Why parents are struggling to get hospital beds for kids with flu and RSV

Pediatric hospital beds are often empty and yield smaller reimbursements than adult care, making them targets for cost-cutting by hospitals.
