A surgeon buddy of mine is so worried about cancer (he has a family history of it a mile long) that he pays out of pocket to get a full body MRI every year. It’s about $900.

That jail is notorious for killing people with medical conditions by withholding care, they outsourced their medical stuff starting in 2012 and everything's been hosed since then. A diabetic died because they locked him up and ignored his requests for medication and the family couldn't afford a lawyer.

Vox Nihili posted:It's really funny that people have apparently accepted the idea that tropical fruits are strictly gated behind capitalism. This is a stale artifact of the particular historical circumstances of the USSR and the Cold War rather than a universal truth. Most people can't understand why people did anything before currency existed, after all, the only reason to do something is to get paid.

Did they ever explain if the apparent rise of ADHD and Autism were just the result of better monitoring or if there's actually something going on? I know both are spectrum disorders, and that it seems a lot of people would have got by fine in previous eras, mostly it would come across as a personality, but I wonder if there was a real change in the prevalence of either condition?Turtle Sandbox posted:Most people can't understand why people did anything before currency existed, after all, the only reason to do something is to get paid. It's why the "Neo-feudalism" discourse is hilarious. Feudalism cannot function on the basis of currency, it's 100% social, not market, relationships. Rich people are going to get killed by their huscarls on day 1.

I’m phone posting at work so I can’t give a long answer right now, but quick answer: yes, rates are and have been going up a lot. I’ll post more later the quick obvious comparison to demonstrate that it is well known, people who live next to US interstates have much higher incidence rates why is mostly causation=correlation, but it’s pretty obvious if you stick a bunch of endocrine disrupters in fetuse, infants and even pre pubescent, you are going to get spicy brains

I think it was the capture of G&T programs by the wealthy. That used to catch an awful lot of the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. but a lot of those folks are 2E and now a lot of the state eligibility criteria now filters them out along with the minorities and poor.

In Training posted:Yeah in 2007, bush admin passed a bill requiring the USPS budget to including 100% prefunding of all employees health & retirement benefits 75 years in advance, instantly adding like a $40 billion hole in their operational budget, instantly bankrupting the organization. Obama of course, reversed course on this in his first 100 days and the post office has been great ever since lmao, both houses of congress had democrat majorities for that 2007 bill.

My ADHD would probably be less noticeable and debilitating if I didn't have so many little objects that have to travel with me 30 miles round trip with me every day on an exacting schedule and have to juggle all kinds of disparate tasks and appointments that occur entirely out of the physical realm. Inventory of guy in 1850: Some pocket change and a house key maybe Inventory of me in 2023: Car key, house key, work phone, personal phone, wallet (with ID and credit card that must all be accounted for). Whoa the guy that habitually loses stuff because of wigglebrains loses so much stuff and is constantly having to track it all down.

The best part about the US system is that if someone knows your account and routing numbers they can just initiate a transfer and empty your account and it's up to you to deal with the damage because even if you get your money back it's still gonna be a huge headache and time commitment.
