For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society
I keep thinking about how the COVID vaccine was rolled out for free for all Americans in 2021 by the federal & state governments with support from local health departments & universities. Since, we have seen the privatization of delivery thru commercial pharmacies & the need for insurance coverage.
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

A message for JD Vance and anyone else in this Administration that is pretending they care about the safety of our kids.
They don’t. All they care about is the political approval and profits of the gun industry. And they show it every day.

I really wish my country valued children more than guns. Just keeps happening - we are failing our kids.

Everton started bright, West Ham had some opportunities late. Disagree with commentators - yes, last pass is missing, but still an entertaining half.
Admittedly, need less of Young just ripping service into first defender.
Ndiaye needs to be focal point. Mangala, Branthwaite have been steady.
