After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians
  • Biggest change we can make to the whole model is making it non-profit. Hospitals should be patient first in all instances. That is probably the biggest hurdle to clear and then a bunch of the other issues you mentioned will actually be easier to solve. Right now there is too much private equity involved with insurance, hospitals and medical care in general. The costs associated with medical care are outrageous and also need to be addressed.

    How do you get rid of bad neighbors?
  • Wow, two in a row. I don't even have to fully type it out again.

    Its so easy to say, move. The practical reality is often different. Also why the hell should they move if they aren't being obnoxious but the neighbors are. There's a certain level of decency that one should have in any setting. Being obnoxiously stupid to the point of doing all the things in OP's post makes people like that just fucking unacceptable or intolerable to live with. If people want to live like that then they should go live in the fucking wild. The rest of us actually want to live in civilized society.

  • Did you even read the article? Its about lava tubes in Saudi Arabia hosting hunter-gatherers, herders, and other generations of humans from the desert heat. Its not some inner earth conspiracy theory. Also why would the Smithsonian host Inner Earth conspiracy theories? From the article,

    White House to send new $300m weapons package to Ukraine
  • You guys are trying so hard to make Biden look bad at the benefit of making Trump look good and it doesn't even compare. Trump is a piece of shit and anyone who supports him needs to realize they are being conned. He is a con artist first. You are a rube. Gullible. Foolish. If you believe he is telling you the truth then you have been tricked. Trump wants to dismantle all aid to any country threatened by Russia, Iran, North Korea and anyone else that might have actually donated some significant amount of "Foreign Aid" to his campaign funds and legal funds. The man is nearly half a billion in the hole because of the recent court cases against him. You really expect him to not take money from literally anyone at this point to pay those legal fees? Seriously? The man is a walking security risk with such a large fine on his hands. He is too hot to elect. He is one step short of being a fucking felon and you want to conflate him as being somehow better than Biden? Fuck all the way off dude.

    Folks in North America, where do you like to get PC parts online these days?
  • I really wish that there wasn't just the one in Tustin for the entire state of California. The Bay Area would seem like a no-brainer for a Micro Center but no such luck.

    A drug cartel has attacked a remote Mexican community with drones and gunmen, rights group says
  • The CIA wants this type of activity so that the regimes in Central and South America are habitually weakened and always in need of some form of welfare from the USA. Like I know it sounds crackpot and tinfoil hat quality to say this stuff but the last 60 years basically prove it to be so. Any form of advancement that occurs within these countries has an almost direct economic impact to the USA where the cost of things goes up as the quality of living goes up in these countries. Its in the USA's interest to keep these countries poor. How else are they supposed to get cheap labor?
