Without increasing funding or making cuts, the county can’t afford HCMC and its worsening financial problems. It also can’t afford to lose the urban medical center and its unmatched expertise in areas such as wound and burn care.
Can HCMC survive — and could Minnesota survive without it?

Poor NPR. First, the President goes after them; now it's pedestrians and cyclists complaining about a silly article promoting "defensive walking" when there is a growing cohort of aging people who can't swivel their heads or jump out of the way of SUVs.
Sorry, NPR: Walking while old kills more pedestrians than walking while distracted
NPR gets it wrong; "Defensive walking" is not a solution for an aging population

All these federal agent kidnapping videos, separation of parents and children, concentration camps for those seen as a threat to the settler state. That is how this land was first taken.

I guess one could be mildly surprised at the brown arms visible on some of those with cowardly masked faces.
