Yes, but the US system is unique among rich countries in that some denials of care are not denials of any existing claim, because some within that system never hold any claim-right to reasonably comprehensive healthcare.

[Alex Tabarrok @ATabarrok]

There isn’t a single country in the world where claims for medical care are not sometimes denied. Not a single one.

Finally, employment for people with philosophy Ph.D’s.

We’ve approved an internal grant for Economics to do an ethnographic study of the dismantling of Sociology & Anthropology in the state system.

@introvertzoomer @Brumairian Medical care didn’t help. There’s no social gradient of health before 1750.

Does Zohran Mamdani support strengthening New Norwegian (Nynorsk), which is one of the two official written standards of the Norwegian language, in Norwegian society?

Around 10–15% of the population have Nynorsk as their official language form.

This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.

I disagree with Timothee Chalamet about opera (crowd cheers), because all art is essentially bad (crowd boos), in the Culture Industry sense! (crowd cheers) except for one medium, which encompasses all previous forms (crowd nodding expectantly), “gaming” (booing intensifies)

@captgouda24 No, we should not undermine autonomy and the pursuit of exellence for billions to (almost insignificantly) improve the tech talent pool

"Little idiot" disastrously screws up attempt to retrace the footsteps of his idol. Einstein got his PhD at 26.

There's got to be some way I can make money without adding value to society

[katie kadue @kukukadoo]

not sure why hamnet tries to appeal to modern audiences with “grief” when shakespeare’s play centers on an issue much more relevant today: a dispute over land belonging to denmark

@hagaetc If you’re capable of reading stuff that doesn’t confirm your existing views I recommend The Myth of Ownership by Nagel and Murphy.

More disturbing than price discrimination based on “willingness to pay” are wages based on “willingness to work.”

Below, a former food delivery app dev claims that fares are dictated by a “Desperation Score.”

The more desperate a driver is for money, the less they get paid.

[Erik Baker @erikmbaker]

However you slice it, it imperative for the left to be able to construct forms of life that allow people to experience flourishing radically decoupled from professional achievement. With that said, I have no idea how to do this

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”
