And I don’t believe that money is the sole issue.

Oh, but it is. 'Provider' is but one layer needing more and more money to compensate for effort and risk.

Money is the grease driving all layers of this direct-pay-for-care model; including the incentives driving each round of executive cost-shaving, because that's how management earns incentives. And while the output is executive bonuses, the input - what this feeds on - is people and their money and their coping and happiness. More and more. Custom-uh, patients pay more, care-givers work more, actual care is reduced, managers deal with more turnover, and execs buy lambos.

If you want to see a care system that is at risk but usable, look at the happiest countries. And then understand why that's at risk and decide whether we want to preserve it. Unfortunately, care-givers and other layers of the machine who no longer have to lay out hard cash for every effort and action will see their paycheques drop with those costs, and that'll make them sad if that's how they derive validation.

And while I'm talking about human acute care, mostly, the same goes for long-term care, veterinarian, and even ancillary-to-care sectors like transit. Greed at all levels in a zero-sum model makes victims of the people it's supposed to care for.

It attempts to copy binaries onto a system on a manner that avoids the single source of truth used for regular installables. So it invites dependency hell.

Is this the one that seems to need a binary running constantly in the vast in-between times when no installation is taking place? That would be a risk.

Never used it. I worked in OS security and don't need that stress either at work or home.

The big win, I hear, is the massively rural areas;farms and cabins.

The truck can apparently launch two drones at a time, and they save time and fuel -- and don't present a driving hazard for a panel van which now needs to turn around in a potentially winding driveway. Then the truck moves on to the next stopping point when all drones are back.

Except hasn't it been well-proved that standard time is a better stopping state?

Proofreading always wins. We learned it in high-school, and it's a powerful tool today.

Spelling, though? Not so much.

[Ms] Tait said defunding the CBC would be devastating to its ability to meet its mandate to serve all Canadians, and rural communities in particular.

devastating effects on all of Canada.

If you'd read the article, you'd have seen the "rural communities in particular".

Welcome to the world of corporate sponsored misinformation

I'm not sure where this is 'corporate sponsored[sic] misinformation', since

• the statement was made by the President of a publicly-funded organization
• the statement wasn't misinformation

Remember, this is what the CPC is campaigning on.

This part is easy to agree with as we have a wealth of trending that points to double-talk and misinformation. In fact, the last paragraph of the article includes an example of Conservative false-equivalence.

An impartial news resource that benefits the poors?

Um, yeah.

We only see the words that are written. And Shalafi isn't the OP.

What about when my sister-in-law is moonlighting as an ambulance attendant? Even after 20 years a mountie, with promotions, she still doesn't earn enough; and ambulance pays almost as well, and she has kids. Still a bastard in the white uniform?

The cops who arrested the dude driving the van down the sidewalk and aiming for people he thought followed a certain religion? Still bastards?

The cops who stopped the 20 angry idiots who were looking to blow things up under a religious banner. Bastards?

Honestly, what's your criteria if paramedics and anti-terrorism people are bastards?

The latter.

So edge. Such beret.

I can help the police out here: People are stealing because they’re poor and can’t afford rent or groceries. You showing up 12 hours later to tape up the scene isn’t going to stop anything.

It's weird how that's still illegal and not everyone steals. It's like some people still won't take from their neighbours - by wrecking the jobs where their neighbours work - but some assholes will.

Breaking Bad involves a convoluted premise that only makes any sense in America.

everyday

You mean 'every day', in English. #noChildLeftBehind

Further support for the notion that the government and the people are separate.

... All fantastic half-assed measures to ensure someone fiddles while Rome burns.

Enough playing at solving the issue. The only zoning should be high-density mixed-use. The era of matchstick firetraps and greenspace hoarding is over.

Um, I'd like "unbelievable made-up statements by people looking to profit off it" for $200, Alex.

I think you're not alone on that.

1. it's what burnaby does, and part of why it's so flush
2. if you're gonna have to rent off a slumlord, it may as well be one you can vote out.
3. city emps usually get 10% off.

"One of us. One of us"

If you can't pluralize 'traffic' or 'email' right, then I doubt the writing ability. Once there's doubt, it erodes other trust. No point in reading further.
