Idk,.I'm finding it might actually be useful to spread local information if you stick to some local subreddits

Congrats! I hope this momentum keeps up across the country!

In this case the hospital cannot afford to pay both the salary of CEOs and doctors that provide care.

So cuts have to be made somewhere. You're suggesting the rational thing to do in this case would be to cut the doctors and keep the CEOs so that they can keep lights on in an empty building. That's so crazy it just might work. Problem solved.

Yep fuck Sinclair broadcasting too, but as you can see, the only news covering this is from local Indiana news reporting.

How is a hospital "functioning" if there's nobody there to provide care? That's kind of the whole point of hospitals.

Yeah fuck the intercept, not really the point.

My point is that while big news networks are fucking around it's the locals news and individuals who are getting fucked over the most by this bullshit who are actually trying to make sure this shit doesn't get buried

Great, I'm actually trying to find a new primary care doctor right now.

Tried to call my old office to see if they could help me and it rang and rang until it eventually hung up on me.

Just tried to contact one the main number to make an appointment and got a voicemail telling me to leave briefly message.

Tried to call a third number the nurses help hotline provided me and it rang once and hung up.

I'll probably just end up going to CVS again and using their minute clinic, which actually seems to have a better handle on healthcare at this point than the giant corporation that has purchased every hospital in the area.

But I'm glad we have CEOs at every campus making sure everything runs so smoothly even though there are no doctors available to provide healthcare.

True, there was not a whole lot of mainstream media coverage of assange but there were journalists from places like the intercept and I believe rolling stone or vice also covering it.

In this case, and many cases all over the country lately, I'm finding that tiny local news outlets are doing a better job keeping us informed than mainstream media or even larger less mainstream news outlets.

Also realized that if this was a case of spying it would seem very unlikely he would have a lawyer at his residence while it was being raided but who tf knows. Not us.

What are you talking about. State secrets are well protected by Elon Musk

Yeah, if only we had a free press that could keep the public informed about matters so we could know what the fuck is actually going on anymore.

It's especially weird the university just didn't release a statement about it or anything.

It definitely could go either way

If we actually still had a free press, you would expect this to be getting some coverage and for there to be some kind of statement from the University's lawyers saying they were cooperating with the FBI if this guy was legitimately wanted for shady dealings.

It's fucking sad that we all read this and have to think, is this the FBI handling a legitimate threat or is this why DHS keeps complaining about Civil Rights Offices standing in their way.

Hey Louisiana residents, don't know if you've heard about Landry's most recent cost saving efforts?

I'm sure I don't need to tell you why this would be very bad in any normal situation, but given some other things that are occurring at the federal level with Homeland Security's Office of Civil Rights, it's even worse than that.

So, I wrote a brief post with some information about why that is, and why all Americans should be concerned by these actions: https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/states-continue-to-push-law-and-policy-that-coincidentally-aids-federal-government-agenda/

A place for discussing and sharing information and ideas about political psychology

 

These shared character traits stem from a cognitive and emotional developmental arrest in both childhood and adolescence resulting in fixed, life-long, concrete thinking patterns. They fail to attain the last stage of mental and emotional development, that of abstract thinking, which is necessary for critical reasoning that allows one to consider the broader significance of ideas and information rather than depend on concrete details and impulses alone. These autocratic leaders have limited capacity for empathy, love, guilt, or anxiety that become developmentally permanent and guide everyday decision making. Character or personality traits that perpetuate the lives of autocratic leaders are further distinguished by sociopathic and narcissistic behaviors that self-serve to cover their constant fear of insecurity and the insatiable need for power.
