❌️💧Meta's closed loop cooling system at a new data center in Wyoming unlawfully released a rare bacterium into a city's wastewater system, contaminating the reuse system, prompting months of cleanup, its permit revoked, and a suspension on more data center discharges. 🧵

EXCL: A claim for PIP on the grounds of anxiety or ADHD was approved every SEVEN minutes last year, Sun analysis shows. System branded totally "out of control" after our research found new handout allowed every 6mins and 49seconds - the time it takes to microwave a ready meal!

Medical research suggests that social isolation has health impacts similar to 15 cigarettes a day.

Little wonder then that remote work leads to worse mental health.

Our paper in Science shows that it also increases use of mental healthcare services and mental health prescription medications.

NEW:

Alberta announces dual practice will start this fall.

Patients will now have option to pay for all elective surgeries allowed by CPSA in a non-hospital surgical facility, including hips, knees and cataract.

New regulations include doctors must work minimum number of hours in public system before taking part in private delivery- and family physicians cannot partake.

No privately paid surgeries will be allowed for life threatening procedures such as cancer and emergencies- those will remain under public.

🚨 New Medicaid work requirements will take effect on January 1, 2027.

As a result, in order to qualify for Medicaid benefits, recipients will now be required to work at least 80 hours per month.

To receive an exemption, recipients will have to PROVE, through endless paperwork and appeals, that they are “medically frail” and unable to work. The government has already said there are no conditions that will automatically qualify recipients for an exemption.
