    After law enforcement cleared homeless encampments in eleven cities, a team of ProPublica reporters distributed notecards to the unhoused people affected, inviting them to detail the belongings they had lost in the sweeps.

      "I Have Lost Everything." - Longreads
      from Brendan Fitzgerald
      A record number of Americans are living outside. Cities have responded by removing encampments from public spaces, a practice commonly referred to as “sweeps.” In the process, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos.

    It actually seems to me to be fitting that the MCU films have become boring (albeit in a loud and spectacular format), stupid and unengaging in pretty much the same ways as the comics did, because they made similar "storytelling" choices from, I'm guessing, greed

    I knew that healthcare spending and results in the US were worse than in various European countries...

    But I had no idea they were this bad.

    The US spends more than 3 times as much as Italy on healthcare, but still has an average life expectancy that is four years lower.

    If you allow for "statistical" deaths, it becomes clear that the health insurance and for-profit healthcare industries in the United States are killing tens of thousands a year and the only consequence they face is... increased profits.

    With #UnitedHealthcare one of the major beneficiaries of this profiting off death
