I am chasing the daily ambulances just like everyone else. Its crazy, maddening, and addictive. But its the wrong story.
Most of this nonsense is the wrong priority for the country- hell the world. I dont give a fk which party is in power- as long as someone actually attempts to look at the problems we are dealing with. And so far, that isnt happening. We cant keep bandaiding this crap and expect 30 yr old solutions to actually do anything. We are in a new world. And we saw it coming. This new world deserves a complete rethink.
1. Population
Exponentially, we are growing at a rate faster than we have room for. We all know this. We will soon experience a food and water shortage globally. GLOBALLY. Repubs are shifting “pro life” into high geer. Also globally. This means more people with less resources to care for them. Not difficult dots to connect. We cant help the less-fortunate now. So lets add hundreds of thousands more behind-the-eight-ball with no hope. We need to curb reproduction. The what is easy. how? Idk
2. Trade
As we evolve as a global society, with profits as our lure, trade will continue to attract con-men. For-profit industry is attracted to profit period. There is zero incentive to invest in education or effiency while there are other means to reduce costs. Short term goals benefit corporations- not society. Profit driven goals benefit a small group.
(automation converation later)
3. Health Care
Us healthcare is an absolute mess. Caregivers, insurers, govt and pharma all play a role in this. There are so many levels of WTF in play that frankly the entire industry needs to be evaluated. Right now, physicians are incented to be “pill brokers”. The medical community is 100% responsible for the opiad epidemic. They are/were evaluated as “responsive” to pain-based patient surveys. Bad numbers on pain surveys from patients meant they werent aResponsive, and that effected payment. So, reflexibly, doctors prescribe on wants, not needs. Long term, that causes the sutuation were in now.
IMHO healthcare needs to be completely re-thought. from diagnosis to payment. Yes single payer will help cut out some of the bullshit, but not all of it. We need to get rid of the profit incentive and all of the marketing. (btw im a mktg professional healthcare specialist)
In conclusion
We have a bunch of diffucult issues on the horizon that affect us all. All this bullshit about trump and family isnt solving anything. Lets be the party of solutions.
