My company provides good healthcare coverage (I wish healthcare access was not tied to employment but here we are). Today we were notified that our coverage is being discontinued “to align focus on the evolving needs of members and to invest in innovative products to deliver greater value” Luigi?

Markets are good at some things. Providing healthcare, education, or criminal justice are not among them.

Exactly. Public health and profit seeking are a bad mix.

Horrifying. Why is this not being covered more widely? Where and when did it happen?

How do they even attempt to justify this?

How many of us have already made plans for Obituary Day? Champagne on ice, playlist already queued?
Chris Dymond (@mediumman.bsky.social) reply parent
I made one too! Let’s combine them.

I just made a playlist for the big day. But you’re right, the problems won’t end with him. It runs deep.

Definitely a top five issue on the list. Also cream cheese in sushi rolls…

I love that idea! I have heard about a tree registry that maps where different kinds of trees are so maybe that’s a start.

Went to get my car washed in D.C. this afternoon. A cop car shows up and everyone freezes, ready to run. The cops stay in their car, watching, and eventually leave. The workers grimly go back to washing cars in silence. It’s tense out there and I fucking hate what this country has become.

That’s beautiful!

Got to love test cricket. The only sport where a match can last five days and then be declared a draw because there wasn’t enough time to produce a result. Genuinely love it.

Not that it really matters, but I wonder if Kristi Noem really had no idea what habeus corpus is, or was it a performance?

A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.

We’ve been in Scotland for a week and hardly seen a cloud. Hope it stays this way for the month.

Stagflation here we come. Prices up, employment and output down. This is what tariffs do.
