The change is slope for the USA in this graph is 1977. The year the US govt. made provisions for private insurance companies to have a say in healthcare. Everyone else does administration, but America spends 73% of healthcare dollars on "administration" and profit.

A lot of us in the sciences turned our research skills toward understanding the climate crisis and identifying portals of intervention precisely because we want to prevent starvation, conflict, suffering. So no surprise when a world’s top climate scientist speaks out on Gaza. 👇
Biden and his closest political advisors seem to not understand these protests. Watching people in Gaza starve is just not acceptable. Biden MUST do much, much more to stop this. thehill.com/homenews/campa…

This PhD topic, mocked by the right wing, is about the prehistory of the culture that supports the fossil-fuel economy. This is exactly the kind of work we should be thrilled that humanities grad students are doing.

Burma just recorded its hottest ever April at 48.2C (118F) 🌡️ 1000s of schools across Southeast Asia have closed. By 2100, 3 to 6 billion could live in unhabitable regions. It's either a revolution against the carbon regime or the slow extinction of our species. You choose.
I can't stop thinking about these students who found out, during hours of violent attack, that neither their school nor their city would protect them. The police watched, made no arrests. latimes.com/california/sto…
For personal and professional reasons, I haven't been vocal about Palestine on this platform. But after yesterday, I want to make a few things clear for the record. (1/6)
@NeelaSaldanha Thank you Neela. I really appreciate the kind words. I wish I could say this is courageous - but the courageous ones are the Palestinians persevering under this violence and the students risking suspension and arrest to draw attention to the crisis!
@samthorpe__ This is very courageous, thank you. It is hardest to call out the faults of our own & yet it is the most powerful thing. I hope for peace for both the Israeli & Palestinian people.
