Another Titania McGrath tweet:
Link is to Sun article: "FIRED MAN SAM /PC fire chiefs BAN mascot Fireman Sam because he’s too male and puts women off joining"In the event of a house fire:
1) Raise an alarm.
2) Close all the doors.
3) Call the emergency services.
4) Explain to the operator that you only consent to be rescued by a queer woman of colour.
5) Wait.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
This one's kind of scary.
There's a paywall (WSJ), but here are some excerpts:Take Two Aspirin and Call Me by My Pronouns
At ‘woke’ medical schools, curricula are increasingly focused on social justice rather than treating illness.
(I accept climate change but, good lord).During my term as associate dean of curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania’s medical school, I was chastised by a faculty member for not including a program on climate change in the course of study.
A new wave of educational specialists is increasingly influencing medical education. They emphasize “social justice” that relates to health care only tangentially. This approach is the result of a progressive mind-set that abhors hierarchy of any kind and the social elitism associated with the medical profession in particular.
As concerns about social justice have taken over undergraduate education, graduate schools have raced to develop curricula that will steep future educators in the same ideology. Today a master’s degree in education is often what it takes to qualify for key administrative roles on medical-school faculties. The zeitgeist of sociology and social work have become the driving force in medical education. The goal of today’s educators is to produce legions of primary care physicians who engage in what is termed “population health.”
https://www.wsj.com/articles/take-two-a ... 1568325291Meanwhile, oncologists, cardiologists, surgeons and other medical specialists are in short supply.
Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Biden proved his total cluelessness about healthcare. His implicit assumption is that the cost of HC in the US is somehow a universal constant like the speed of light, and he can't seem to entertain the idea that the entire system is screwed up, which is why we overpay for worse service in this country as compared to other developed countries. In other words, he'd be Aquarius for big pharma, insurance co., hospital chains and defend them as if they were Apple Pie and Motherhood.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Bernie talked again about importing drugs from Canada. A quick search doesn't show many drugs being manufactured in Canada. Seems pretty fucking fishy, as we discussed in the other thread.
Warren, in particular, really seemed to dodge that when Biden kid-punched her personally.2. The other Dem candidates want Medicare for all with no clue how to pay for it, so Biden is the only one that is realistic on the topic in many ways.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Importation from Canada really means from India. But I've done it for years (Uloric) and it has worked out fine. I have saved tens of thousands of dollars on this one compound.

Maybe we need a Healthcare News and Views thread.
I woke up from a nap to hear a story about ants feeding on a Vietnam veteran in a V.A. hospital.

For people buying drugs from India...here's a pretty scary article to gulp down with your Valsartan:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features ... st-the-fda
Importing drugs from Canada is a crazy idea. The reason Bernie wants to do it is that Canada's government negotiates prices with the pharmaceuticals, which means they don't pay the market rates charged in the US. Removing the gag order that prevents CMS from doing the same here would be a much more direct and logical approach. The effort currently underway to limit the ability to artificially extend drug patents by tweaking formulations (e.g. the "extended release" dodge) is also quite sensible.

Please let it be so.
Still, I think this brushfire has a ways to burn.

Looks like the problem was with China. (Big surprise.) To the best of my knowledge, India is the source of the lion's share of generics we see here in the U.S.sophie wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:20 am For people buying drugs from India...here's a pretty scary article to gulp down with your Valsartan:

Some family & USA Today got some kid fired for playing the circle game:
By saying he was flashing a white power hand sign. That the ADL decided was a hate symbol. Months after the picture was taken. The ADL's website actually uses the diagram from 4chan to explain how it means white power. Also the kid wasn't even doing the hand gesture.
I saw that headline and had to chuckle a bit. I figured Tim was going to get after it. Poor guy could probably sue for wrongful termination and defamation or whatever.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
I think we're reaching a point where the strategy of the far left should start to become apparent to all thinking people. It's defame, destroy, and silence anyone who disagrees with them and truth be damned.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 5:46 pm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU4AbJrsZwU

I'm hoping this mindset will turn out to be nothing more than a passing phase but I am not hopeful about it.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
I saw that, too, and I thought that was just bizarre. Can’t even blame 4chan if the ADL and others are going to be so stupid and fall for this.
4chan comes up with some crazy stuff. They had a campaign to answer CAPTCHA or some similar test with the N-word as their “guess”, on a mass scale, until machine learning decided that the N-word would be part of the test.
i can’t blame rudimentary software for being so easily duped but I can certainly blame the ADL. Ugh.
Let’s hope someone talks some sense into them and they reverse their decision.

The key words are "thinking people". I don't have much faith in the majority being "thinking people" these days. It's Sad!
