Privitization of Medicare via Medicare Advantage plans is a scam which should be eliminated.

Australia could be foreshadowing what we will be seeing in the northern hemisphere but our governments have decided to just let it rip pretending that the pandemic is over.

The 2024 election makes a farce out of our democracy unless both major parties come up with new candidates considering that Donald Trump is a convicted felon and Joe Biden is a war criminal.

Yet again, the medical literature is clear that masks work.

@Mopcku @freemo Right, it is not as if clean air in class rooms will mean children aren't exposed to anything anywhere

@freemo No, I picked what represents the consensus of thought, not an outlier.

Wikipedia is hardly a reliable medical reference.

@freemo The data however says the opposite--it is exposure to dirty air which increases risk of autoimmune disease. Cleaner air would also reduce this risk:

@freemo It would clearly be beneficial, even outside of a pandemic. For example, studies show that children learn better in schools with cleaner air. Of course we also need to prepare ahead of time to have cleaner air if we are going to be prepared for future pandemics.

@freemo Sure, theoretically there might be a point where this is a problem but improving ventilation and current air filtration is hardly at the point where there is any conceivable risk

@freemo This does not contradict the benefits of cleaner air

@freemo Cleaner indoor air is not the same as a sterile environment

@freemo There is considerable evidence of the benefits of cleaner air. I haven't seen any evidence contrary to this.

Hate lockdowns and mask mandates? Cleaner indoor air by better filtration and ventilation will make lockdowns and mask mandates less necessary in the inevitable next pandemic.

North Carolina House voted against the anti-mask provisions of the Senate bill. Still unknown what final bill will look like.

Joe Biden is a Ronald Reagan/Dick Cheney Democrat, not an FDR Democrat.

@MismanagedTalent Biden is hardly pro-union. Genocide is progressive? Suppression of civil liberties is progressive? If you are defending Biden you too look like a Dick Cheney Democrat.

@MismanagedTalent You also have a warped view of democracy (as so many BlueMAGA do) when you see protesting over Biden's attacks on democracy and civil liberties, and his support for genocide as "anti-democracy propaganda."

We were warned by many people that Biden's false claim that the pandemic is over was damaging to the nation's Covid response. This is from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2022:
