Yes, Mr. President: Youโ€™re right. We do have โ€œthe worst health careโ€ of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Hi Bluesky,

God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.

Thanks,

God

Pedestrian suffers life-changing injuries in Birmingham hit-and-run crash Police are hunting a driver who hit a pedestrian in City Road in North Edgbaston and left him with life-changing injuries

My kids travel along this road every day to get to school.

And this is the second pedestrian run down on this road alone in just over a week.

I wish police would hunt the traffic engineers who designed this road to get these results.

Iโ€™m looking forward to reading Jon Saltinstallโ€™s brand-new Lella Lombardi biography. At Montjuรฏc in โ€™75 she became the only woman to score points in #F1, which feat has never been repeated this past half-century, & she was quite publicity-shy, so Iโ€™m hoping Iโ€™ll learn a lot.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But heโ€™s a billionaire, so we canโ€™t | George Monbiot Money talks โ€“ and his essay denouncing โ€˜near-term emissions goalsโ€™ at Cop30 mostly argues the case for letting the ultra-rich off the hook

Why arenโ€™t the powers that be - here in the U.K. - take action against the people that have (and are continuing) to destroy the country?

30 years working in IT here. (plus occasional work delivering parcels)
Maybe when I'm too old to work, I'll self deport so I don't drain the British state.

With the ambient xenophobia since Brexit, when I lost my job in Autumn 2024, I just couldn't stand the prospect of visiting the job centre.
