Oh, right, the problem with rural hospitals, “Community Access Hospitals”.
Republicans are just dumb. #kakistocracy, elected by voters hostile to government to go to Washington and just be incompetent.

«”The best thing for me to do at this point in my life is just to basically be a body,” Spitzberg said. “Because you need numbers and if they ever say we’re doing something else again, God willing, I’ll be there.”»

Are we this stupid, as a country, that we vote for this hogwash?
«At one point in our conversation, we talk about those US citizens who put Trump back in the White House, even though, as she puts it, they knew who he was. “Nothing was hidden. People had plenty of time to think about it, and they chose this. And that disgust, I couldn’t shake that. I thought: ‘People wanted this – and I don’t want to have anything to do with this.’”
Does that mean she will never return to the US? “I would never say, ‘I would never go back.’ I always feel that what history teaches you is not what will happen, but what can happen. The possibilities are generally much more capacious than anyone is expecting at that moment.”»
I wonder if I should get my procrastinating ass in gear.
«Drone warfare and software are of particular interest to China, the document says.
“The war in Ukraine fundamentally shifted intelligence priorities for both countries,” said Itay Cohen, a senior researcher with the cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks who has followed Chinese hacking groups for years. Experts say, and the document indicates, that China wants to learn from Russia’s war experience to bolster its own preparedness for potential future conflicts.

White woman on trial!
Ach, I’m not even interested. Why is this a news story? (I know, I know, if it bleeds, it leads.)
Ok, I guess for every white woman getting drunk and killing her boyfriend, there are 0.12 Black women doing the same thing, and I haven’t seen enough Drunk White Women On Trial! stories to notice that Drunk Black Women On Trial! hasn’t gotten the same attention. Even over 40 years, which is how long I’ve been at least sort of paying attention.
Have there even been eight of these stories? There was whatsherface Susan whatshername drowning her kids in South Carolina, and whosits in Italy who didn’t! kill her boyfriend, and the woman who drowned her 5 or 6 kids in a bathtub after her conservative quiverful engineer husband left for work, so that’s… three?
This is not a fun exercise (at all) and I would actually prefer to never have enough data to draw a conclusion.
