I spoke with Dawn Shedrick for a story for NPR about caregiving and loneliness. Tomorrow we'll be on NPR Weekend Edition talking caregiving with host Ayesha Rascoe. Our conversation is scheduled to air at 9.41 ET (times different in different time zones). npr.org/sections/shots…

“What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen in the ER?” The daily consequences of a completely broken healthcare system.

Added context on what Kamala Harris said on The View about covering caregiving through Medicare: This is *not* just a sandwich generation issue. They have it hard, but far more--70 percent of the unpaid family caregivers for adults--are not in that situation.

Wow. Expanding Medicare to cover in-home care would be huge--and very expensive. Whether or not it actually happens, it's wonderful to hear a pol at her level talk about caregiving in terms of dignity, independence and pride.

We @Arnold_Ventures were frustrated that the US publishes data on the # of hogs slaughtered each day with a one day lag but national crime stats only annually, 9 months later. Since the FBI can't/won't publish more timely data, we funded the creation of realtimecrimeindex.com

Notable that Pelosi is not just mentioning caregiving in passing, but talking about it for the whole three minutes.

infuriating to see men suggesting that the purpose of older women is to assist in raising children when their true purpose is to solve crimes.

A semi optimistic look at where journalists are finding work. 1 in 10 working for nonprofits. And there’s work in other non traditional places, tho its independence is a question washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…
