If people knew how often health corporations overcharged taxpayers, their heads would spin. I worked on one case where they were gouging active duty service members by overcharging for breast pumps. Just one of thousands of examples media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/...

To anyone beyond #WNC this list won’t hit hard. But to many of us here it does, especially when you know people on it.

Per #blueridgepublicradio “There are victims not included in state's official count if they lived in NC but their body was recovered in another state.”

Oof. Officials are not even trying to come up with a number of fatalities. My heart is with the first responders as well as those just trying to survive. 💔
