My column from Monday. For the cost of an incomplete 4,000-bed prison in Elmore, Alabama could have paid for five years of health insurance and peace of mind for 174,000 Alabamians.

But our leaders don’t care. Because Alabama government is not designed to help people. It’s meant to control them.
Alabama can never spend enough money on a prison | Alabama Reflector
State leaders who prioritize punishment and control over the welfare of citizens will never see any money spent on walls and bars as wasted.

The extent of the damage done to public health, biomedical science, and healthcare in the US in less than a year will take a generation or more to repair. This is the scale of the destruction. Let that sink in. A new president, Congress won't be enough to reverse things fully. It's that bad.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

I know its the end of the year and people are hard up, but we could really use some assistance here. The American medical system is rough to get through.

If @linkara.bsky.social might share?
I've been swamped with taking on the Cwej30th Anniversary celebrations, which has been an amazing job, but we're nearing the end of the year, and we could use a little push to get us through the bills we have from medical costs creeping up on us.

Give KP a hand!
So....after much deliberation and encouragement from loved ones, I've put together a GoFundMe after facing several financial burdens and medical debts...

Any help or sharing would really go a long way...

Thank you so much.

I'm saddened to hear of the death of Rebecca Heineman, the wife of Jennell Jaquays, who also left us not even two years ago. They were both legendary game developers, and the world is a dimmer place without them.
