I suspect public opinion may be nearing a breaking point on the question of whether the private sector can be trusted with health insurance. I think it's time to go on the offensive. It's time to attack the concept of private sector health care as aggressively as the right and center attack the concept of public sector health care.
Brian Thompson was a legitimate target.

open source is for the people, and there are practices of enforcing licenses which defend the openness and ensure that it is used fairly, and that contributors are credited, it builds careers, it teaches people.
LLMs and other generative AI isn't open source, it isn't a defense of knowledge or labor, and it's built on ripping off the works of humans without ever paying the toll or agreeing to any licenses -- it actively harms careers, and makes largely makes us stupid

How about...
The percentile ranking of your income
-or-
the percentile ranking of your net worth
-whichever is higher-
is your income tax rate
-or-
your wealth tax rate
-whichever the case may be-

Idly pondering (but too lazy to actually do the math) whether that would work as tax brackets.
The portion of [wealth/income] in the 99th percentile gets taxed at 99%. The portion in the 98th percentile (but not the 99th percentile) gets taxed at 98% etc. etc.
I'm not entirely unironic in this position, but largely so. In theory, the richest person in America (or other tax jurisdiction of your choice) should be left with NOTHING. If their income is even faintly representative of their contributions to society, they would have nothing to worry about, as people would value their contributions and would shower them with gifts, probably millions of dollars worth in the aggregate.
Some advocates of progressive taxation point out that top US income tax bracket was something like 90% in the Eisenhower era, although in practice almost everyone in that tax bracket exploited various loopholes. I could see 0.9 times percentile ranking for all incomes above the "poverty line." The 99.99th percentile would still have millions after tax. That would admittedly be somewhat hard on the mere 1%, as the 99th percentile itself is basically the doctor/lawyer tier.
Most likely a tax-the-rich schema would include income or wealth taxes (ideally both) that only apply to people well above even upper middle class. That being said, I think the professional-managerial elites need some education in how wide the chasm between them and the median (let alone the precariat) has become. University educated people in general are my allies on social issues, so I'm not looking to soak them, but a little propaganda oriented toward UMC liberal guilt might be salutary.
Head First into Safety: Choosing the Right Construction Helmet
Construction Helmet:
A construction helmet, commonly known as a hard hat, is a critical piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to safeguard the head of workers on construction sites and in other hazardous environments. It provides protection against impacts, falling objects, debris, and electrical hazards. The use of construction helmets is a fundamental safety practice in the building and infrastructure industries, where the risk of head injury is high due to overhead work, machinery operation, and dynamic site conditions.
Construction helmet are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate, or fiberglass, materials known for their strength, durability, and impact resistance. The outer shell of the helmet is designed to absorb and deflect the force of falling objects or blunt impacts, while the inner suspension system—often made of adjustable webbing or foam—creates a gap between the shell and the wearer’s head. This suspension system acts as a shock absorber, distributing the impact force more evenly to minimize injury.

There is a bot that periodically reposts Dril content to Mastodon. I think it only runs once a week or so. If you're not on Bluesky, this is the next best thing.

Phổi là cơ quan rất quan trọng trong cơ thể người, có vai trò chính là trao đổi khí – mang O2 từ không khí vào tĩnh mạch phổi và đưa CO2 từ động mạch phổi ra bên ngoài. Ngoài ra, Phổi còn có chức năng chuyển hóa một số chất, lưu trữ máu và lọc các độc tố trong máu.
Trong Đông Y, Phổi tương ứng với Tạng Phế, được chia thành Phế âm và Phế dương. Khi Phế suy yếu sẽ dẫn đến tình trạng ho khan, ho có đờm, ho về đêm, ho lâu ngày, cơ thể mệt mỏi và khó thở. Vì vậy, bổ phổi là điều rất cần thiết để chúng ta duy trì sức khỏe tốt.

I like how S. Zoutewelle puts it:
Sure we need to survive, but let’s acknowledge the desperation under this drive to take everything we do, are or think and try to get cash for it. It reminds me of a young child who shows her father a drawing. He playfully offers her a dollar for it and 15 minutes later she comes back with 5 more. What got lost there in between the first spontaneous artwork and the 5 subsequent calculated ones?
