It's also how they treat anyone who gets any sort of workers comp where they spend a significant amount of money to follow recipients around to verify someone is actually disabled and isnt like - you know enjoying any part of their life ever. You got a hosed up back? If you ever lift a kid again and they see you, good bye workers comp.

If you aren't completely miserable then clearly you should be working.

It's so bad that if you google "Workers comp investigator" theres a million law offices talking about it because so many deal with appeals.

Because Google doesn't care about good search results, they care about getting you to click on one of their advertisement products. The search results are just a method to get you to do that.

I have a question about this I brought up in the Ukraine thread.

I've had to use Yandex to find articles and events I had prior knowledge of, like a Ukrainian drone/cruise missile hitting Croatia last March, the Ukrainian defence chief's article about their war strategy for 2023. I know these events took place and were documented (and the articles found on yandex confirmed it), but I also remember googling them in the first place. So clearly some change took place between then and now.

Alright, so, is this 100% a commercial algorithm change or is it - even partly - ideological?

I have never had as much trouble using google as I'm having now, to the point where I just use JSTOR to do initial searches, where that used to be much more cumbersome.

Medicaid is free at point of service, plus $1000 worth of dentist stuff a year and same for vision
snap was $250 a month on a debit card for food which you could use at wholefoods for organic leg of lamb

I've mentioned this before but Medicaid care outcomes and medication adherence are *higher* than for commercial health insurance because people on Medicaid are more likely to get care knowing that they won't get a surprise bill.

Wiping out the commercial insurance landscape and making Medicare/Medicaid available to all Americans from birth would solve so many social problems in this country

i wish medicaid here was anywhere near that decent or snap for that matter i think the average here is around $150 a month

anyways my point isnt that its not good or whatever but compared to other places with actual decent social services we can do a ton better

it’s everything FF. anything one actually wants to find on any topic is buried in poo poo results now. I think it’s commercial.

even like esoteric theology stuff that I’m the only person looking for is behind pages of unrelated commercial results barely connected to the search.
