It's 'pre-existing conditions' in a eugenics mask. =/
(Like, yeah, still evil, but capital E theatrical cartoon villain Evil, instead of the more banal variant that is health insurance companies trying to wriggle out of paying claims in order to pad their quarterly returns.)

A hydra with several heads is surely approaching a sort of 'Twitch plays Pokemon' situation as far as maintaining control of its actions. =/
American politics reaching truly absurd levels of reality denial about healthcare is *possibly* a positive development just in the sense that clearly they feel the need to continually escalate against this and they are more or less at the maximum altitude for it. =/

Reading this screed annoyed both my brains.
the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
NEW INCREDIBLE INSULT DISCOVERED
It's estimated that these extreme cuts to NASA science would cancel more than 40 missions. That's lost science, lost discovery, lost innovation, and the end of careers. Some of these missions are already in space, doing good science, and would simply be abandoned. www.planetary.org/articles/82-...
While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.
NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...
The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.
NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break
No it's Peter Dunne. =P

EnScrappification
it feels like many “innovations” these days are very “scrappy doo”
People should grow their own vegetables and die to their diseases, anything else upsets the natural order, and worse, it might result in extra taxes on the wealthy.
Honestly feel like it's the 'spend' in 'tax and spend' or 'borrow and spend' that they most upset by.
Infrastructure and services should be left to crumble into dust, as an unwelcome historical relic, a unpleasant reminder of just how close to socialism we came.
Jesus Christ what the fuck??
Some people get hyper-excited about getting a troll in their comments and it genuinely seems like a sex thing, the lengths they go to promote it/show it off to everyone else. =/
But that was borrowing without spending.
Which is... okay, that's actually insane, how are they so fucking bad at this??
Yeah, got me for a second there. =/
'I'm signing something I have concerns about'.

Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.
They've released smog into the air in Memphis.
And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.
Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
Is Hipkins being advised by Peter Dunne, or what?
