Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic ‘forever chemicals’
Now that Trump has caused US stock markets to lose 10% of their peak value, analyst are saying this makes it a market "correction".

Oh man. How things stay the same. Here’s an ad for travel to Hawai’i from a 1982 issue of National Geographic. The line that gets me is: “come see Hawaii (sic) through the eyes of the people who know her best: The people of United.”
THE PEOPLE (“kanaka” in ‘olelo Hawai’i) WHO KNOW HER BEST!

Boeing CEO admits company has retaliated against whistleblowers during Senate hearing
Kicking off his testimony at the special committee on Tuesday, Calhoun apologized to the families of Boeing crash victims who were present
“Deeply disappointed to learn Premier #DougFord has cancelled the wastewater surveillance program in #Ontario.
This has been critical information not only for #COVID-19, but other infectious disease threats - Influenza, RSV, MPox, Polio, and now H5N1.
The program costs are a small fraction of individual-level testing for infectious disease & a really efficient way to monitor community transmissions”
- Dr. Thomas Piggott, Public Health, Peterborough
To be clear, #DougFord's current Minister of Long Term Care is Stan Cho, however it is Housing Minister Paul Calandra who has the audacity to count long term care beds towards his new housing build numbers.

@Coops tx for saying the quiet part out loud.
"There's more than one way to hurt Ontarians, and we don't know who's been put in a position to accomplish that."
Doesn't take much to figure out who will be hurt and who will remain untouched.
"Premier #DougFord calls the #Ontario government "a corporation" because that's how he views "his government" - an opportunity for big business to make big bucks - especially if he can make $$$ for his pals while fleecing the public of prime farm land, quality education, and public healthcare."

True story…
I had a 50ish patient with new acute #backpain superimposed on, but different from, long-standing chronic back pain. On #history and #exam they had NEW lower extremity neurologic findings. I ordered an #MRI, which was the appropriate next step at the time.
I was forced to spend two evenings on hold for something like 20-30min for "pre-authorization"… two because they hung up on me the first time. I had to re-type a 20 digit code three times as they redirected me internally… finally spoke to the "physician in authority" and… HE READ MY OWN CHART BACK TO ME!! … then blithely approved the study. <insert swear words here!>
This is my Exhibit A for #HealthInsurance #malfeasance. (A complete waste of my time and that was the point! Unethical, and should be illegal.) Ironically I had a very conservative approach to imaging. That was probably the first new study I had ordered for back pain in months.
