They're going broke... so make them do more "lib-dream", non-medical tasks?!!-----Colorado bill would make hospitals spend more on "community benefit"
Colorado bill would make hospitals spend more on "community benefit"
- Nonprofit hospitals are required to show they spend money on “community benefit,” but a bill in the Colorado legislature would require them to invest more and focus on different priorities.
- Community benefit is loosely defined, and can include free and discounted care...spending to help meet patients’ social needs, like food and housing...

When Leaders Get Scared - by Stephen Bryen
When Leaders Get Scared - by Stephen "While it may look like the United States is being tough and forceful in Ukraine, the reverse is true.
The US is showing incredible weakness, and it is wearing it on its sleeve.
- ...as anyone could quickly grasp, expanding NATO is a liability for the United States and the other NATO members. By creating a border that is to be extended by thousands of miles without actually expanding NATO's military capabilities, is a disaster-in-waiting...
- This has removed Russia as a trading, commercial, and resource partner for Europe, meaning the Russians have little to protect in Europe by way of investments and supplier and trade agreements.
- A second major consequence of US and EU sanctions on Russia is that Russia's strategic partnership with China has now expanded, and will continue to grow...
- ...There are some indications that Taiwan may be looking for a way to accommodate China, lest the US not support them in crunch time as China moves more forces around the island. Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou, from Taiwan's Kuomintang (Nationalist) party, once headed by Chang Kai-shek, is off to China, the first visit to the Chinese mainland by a Taiwan official since 1949...
In short, this is what happens when allies and friends see the handwriting on the wall.
How long will it be before NATO countries start to run for cover?

San Francisco's reparations plan will lead to this surprising outcome for Blacks like me | Fox News
San Francisco's reparations plan will lead to this surprising outcome for Blacks like me | Fox News:
Moreover, the notion of reparations assumes that all white people benefited from slavery and have a moral obligation to pay reparations to all Black people. Such an assumption is both unfair and untrue, as not all White people benefited from slavery, nor do all Black people suffer from its legacy. This oversight from the left further illustrates the soft bigotry that accompanies their "solutions," to inequality.
Not every person born Black in America needs, or wants, a liberal to put their arm around them and take care of them. I for one, am more than capable of taking care of myself, as are most of the Black people I know.

Although Fauci, as director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), had a four-decade-long history of questionable influence on the nation’s health care, the media in March 2020, both left and right, were largely swooning over him. Having reported on Dr. Fauci starting in 1985, however, I knew better.
...My AT blog had the provocative – but entirely justified – title “Anthony Fauci, the NIH's face of the coronavirus, is a Deep-State Hillary Clinton–loving stooge.”

...My AT blog had the provocative – but entirely justified – title “Anthony Fauci, the NIH's face of the coronavirus, is a Deep-State Hillary Clinton–loving stooge.”
- The gist of the article was substantive: Fauci, in my opinion and based on the record that I cited, had presided over the creation of an enormous, sclerotic medical bureaucracy in response to the first politically correct disease in history, the gay AIDS “pandemic,” in the 1980s.
- The AIDS-centric bureaucracy that he was largely responsible for grew to unprecedented proportions that eclipsed and crowded out research on more prevalent, but less trendy, diseases including diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease.
- In the early 2000s, AIDS (which resulted in only 2.5% as many deaths as cancer between 1982 and 2020) was still inexplicably the dominant preoccupation of the U.S. medical establishment...

...The Causes Of America’s Electricity Crisis
- America’s grid is in decline and about to get far worse due to policies that 1) reward unreliable electricity, 2) prematurely shut down coal plants, 3) criminalize nuclear, and 4) force electric vehicle use.
- The root cause of our grid’s reliability problems is simple: America is shutting down too many reliable power plants—plants that can be controlled to produce electricity when needed in the exact quantity needed. And it is attempting to replace them with unreliable solar and wind.
- Nationally, as demand has increased over the last 10 years, we have seen a decline in reliable capacity (gas, coal, oil, nuclear, hydro, and battery storage) by 5%. 10
- Will batteries make unreliable solar/wind reliable? No. Battery storage is expensive and can only provide a given “capacity” (e.g., 1 GW) for a few hours, and only if fully charged. Planned batteries are nowhere near enough to compensate for solar and wind’s unreliability. 11
- Grid-destroying policy: coercing electric vehicle useAt a time when reliable electricity is scarce and about to become far scarcer, the Federal government and certain state governments are trying to force us to use electric vehicles—which would lead to major increases in electricity use at certain times of the day...

‘The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’: Matt Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files dump delves into pandemic censorship
‘The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’: Matt Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files dump delves into pandemic censorship - Terresa Monroe-Hamilton"...The release of Dr. Fauci’s 2020 emails,
- reports of vaccinated individuals contracting COVID despite being vaccinated, natural immunity,
- suggesting COVID was “leaked from a lab,” and
- “worrisome jokes”
were classified as potential misinformation and recommended for censorship by the Virality Project.
...Twitter was one of seven social media platforms that partnered with the project over what they labeled as misinformation during the pandemic.
Taibbi called the Virality Project’s collaboration with Twitter an “Orwellian proof-of-concept” of government, academics, and corporations working together to “control political messaging.”
...The Virality Project evidently wanted to worm its way into every social media platform out there including Gab, Parler, Telegram, and Gettr with an end game of “near-total surveillance of the social media landscape.”

Strassel continues:
Strassel amplifies this in a Wall Street Journal editorial, noting that the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” was “a starting gun for a clean-energy frenzy.”“We serve those creating positive environmental change,” SVB’s website brags, noting that the bank worked with some 1,550 companies in the “climate technology and sustainability sector.”
Most of these companies weren’t filling some vital market need. Rather, as the Journal reported, SVB was beloved for its willingness to offer “banking services to startups that often weren’t profitable, in some cases didn’t have a product, and would otherwise have a hard time getting a line of credit or a loan from a larger bank.” One tech entrepreneur provided a more scathing description of SVB’s products: “They’re basically subprime business loans. You’re talking about companies that have no credit profile, they’re burning cash and are unlikely to raise the same type of capital because of interest rates. It was basically social credit.”
What inspires a bank to disregard risk and shower money on products or services that nobody is clamoring to buy?...
