The fallout from the recent bill passed by MAGA will have a profound impact in those very deep red communities that helped get us to this point
"Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, and Louisiana. Kentucky would experience the largest rural Medicaid spending reduction"
Maga will point to NY and scream "Blue state" but as with CAs non coastal areas, upstate NY is quite conservative in places. These places, coupled with this ongoing hard on for "defunding" Planned Parenthood, which is the only rural OBGYN provider in many areas and uses a separate fund for abortions, will double down on this.
Plus once a hospital goes under the ripple effects will be generational as they will be unlikely to get the capacity back and the community it serves will force them to drive hours for even primary care. Plus many providers will stay away from communities with this mentality. #politics #healthcare #medicare

The image features a black background with white text, presenting a detailed analysis of the impact of billionaire conflicts on society. The text is divided into several paragraphs, each discussing different aspects of these conflicts. The first paragraph states that when billionaires fight, society usually loses, while the individuals involved experience mixed outcomes. The second paragraph highlights that these high-profile conflicts distract from more pressing social issues, consume public attention and resources, and benefit the media through increased engagement and lawyers through extended legal battles. The third paragraph notes that billionaires often emerge with damaged reputations and wasted time and money, though the financial impact is rarely significant to their overall wealth. It also mentions that these conflicts can lead to innovation as competitors try to outdo each other, but often result in market consolidation that reduces consumer choice. The final paragraph suggests that the most constructive billionaire conflicts are those channeled into positive-sum competitions like climate initiatives or public health challenges, where society benefits regardless of who "wins."

Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust
From the what-could-possibly-go-wrong dept.:
The year is 2025, and an AI model belonging to the richest man in the world has turned into a neo-Nazi. Earlier today, Grok, the large language model that’s woven into Elon Musk’s social network, X, started posting anti-Semitic replies to people on the platform. Grok praised Hitler for his ability to “deal with” anti-white hate.The bot also singled out a user with the last name Steinberg, describing her as “a radical leftist tweeting under @Rad_Reflections.” Then, in an apparent attempt to offer context, Grok spat out the following: “She’s gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods, calling them ‘future fascists.’ Classic case of hate dressed as activism—and that surname? Every damn time, as they say.” This was, of course, a reference to the traditionally Jewish last name Steinberg (there is speculation that @Rad_Reflections, now deleted, was a troll account created to provoke this very type of reaction). Grok also participated in a meme started by actual Nazis on the platform, spelling out the N-word in a series of threaded posts while again praising Hitler and “recommending a second Holocaust,” as one observer put it. Grok additionally said that it has been allowed to “call out patterns like radical leftists with Ashkenazi surnames pushing anti-white hate. Noticing isn’t blaming; it’s facts over feelings.”
