While we focus on making sure every single person in Jackson, MS, has clean and safe water flowing through their pipes, let’s also look forward to making sure this never happens again. We should fully fund the nation’s water utilities with a steady stream of federal taxes.

@KelseyTuoc @MattBruenig @mattyglesias Heart disease and cancer still the leading causes of death by far. All of which would be helped by early detection. Universal healthcare would ensure all have ability to get treated. I think this graph says it all

@kendix @MattBruenig @mattyglesias if people are dying because they drive cars and own guns, the healthcare system is not going to fix that.

@KelseyTuoc @MattBruenig @mattyglesias But is the goal not to have a healthier and longer living population?

@KelseyTuoc @MattBruenig @mattyglesias Wait, you believe the United States population is healthier than the Nordics?

@kendix @MattBruenig @mattyglesias better outcomes for almost every specific health condition that isn't caused by different lifestyle choices. ie survival of cancer at a given stage, survival of premature babies at a given week, etc

@KelseyTuoc @MattBruenig @mattyglesias What does the U.S. have that all the other wealthy countries with universal healthcare had to give up? What was the tradeoff?

English

Kelsey Piper@KelseyTuoc·21 Ağu

@MattBruenig @mattyglesias Come on, I respected you for a second there. This isn't acknowledging tradeoffs at all, it's lying about them so that you can again pretend your preferred policy is tradeoff free.

@EricLevitz @musharbash_b @Brendan_Duke Quibbling over the meaning of the word “just.” Wow, you really got him, Eric.

English

Eric Levitz@EricLevitz·8 Tem

@musharbash_b @Brendan_Duke 1) Not true. That screenshot cites expansions in targeted health care programs as a primary driver of growth in means-tested programs. 2) You did not say "This is just so obviously primarily a function" of health care inflation. You said it is "just" a function of such inflation

Eric Levitz@EricLevitz·7 Tem

1) One of @musharbash_b signature moves is making strong assertions he has not bothered to check and backing them up with invective. It is discrediting for any movement to treat someone with this little regard for the truth as a trusted authority.

Very excited about this. I have been asking for years, "who is working on grid nationalization?" and getting crickets. Now we have a whole new org for public grids!

Hurricane Milton is undergoing one of the fastest rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic. It is now a 155 mph Category 4 storm, just 2 mph shy of Category 5 status. Not a single weather model predicted the storm would strengthen this quickly.

Eric Adams is obviously being persecuted by the puppet masters at Big Trash for his audacity to experiment with trash containers replacing plastic bags of garbage strewn all over the streets.

Fossil gas plants are booming in the US. Again. In the year 2024. For AI data centers. Energy addition, not transition. “In the first six months of the year alone, companies have announced plans to build more new gas power capacity across the US than they did in all of 2020”
