Modern society is falling apart over the cost of getting to net zero. I don't think we have the funds to put lakes on artificial life support in the foreseeable future.

Actually it’s already done in some places. https://www.easthamptonct.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif7556/f/upl...

You're right, of course. I guess I just put a lot of weight on the charm of keeping old things running, and think there's value to the public in allowing free use of music, particularly for non-commercial/educational purposes.

Not sure if you are aware but the weather Channel sold music CDs I have one.

At least he died doing it and not someone he employed.

theklub · 3 years ago

Honestly given all the red flags he ignored it seems like he had a death wish, or at the very least got a thrill from risking his life on these trips. Otherwise I can't wrap my head around the stupidity of the whole thing.

Some of these are super tiny...20 beds doesn't really seem like a hospital to me. Not saying this is a good trend but I'm not sure how you stay afloat with such a small footprint.

Is democracy a good idea? Is it working out for India and Mexico and the rest of the middle-income countries?

We're all supposed to love Democracy by default but ... I don't know anymore.

Ask HN: Is there an easy way to know a bank's level of insured vs un-insured deposits?

theklub · 3 years ago

To add to that, does it matter? The government is backing all deposits so does that mean bank runs are a thing of the past now?

theklub commented on Amazon builds property empire, quietly buying land across the US bloomberg.com/news/featur... · Posted by u/jbredeche

I'll go ahead and say it: Amazon is frighteningly large. Any time I visit a UPS store, the lines are out the door and most of the people are there to make amazon returns. I see amazon delivery trucks throughout my town - its incredible what Bezos has achieved but I fear its just gone too far.

I'm only 32 and I've seen so many companies shutting down; partly due to consumer shifts, but also by amazon pushing them out of the market. The pandemic also caused a few big players to get thrown under, but it seems that amazon only grew bigger.

The future looks strange.

Sadly our government doesn't protect us, I think there should have been an antitrust case a long time ago.

> How doctors of all professions lost their professional agency to do-nothing administrators within a generation is quite puzzling

The profit model of the U.S. healthcare industry might have something to do with it. The fact that hospitals are run like businesses and have shareholders is insane to me. I know other countries' healthcare systems got hit hard by the pandemic too, but it seems like the uniquely capitalist nature of healthcare in the U.S. sets it up to mistreat workers and cut corners for the benefit of administrators and executives.

theklub · 4 years ago

It’s not just that, some hospitals are outsourcing everything disenfranchising the people that work there. And I mean everything from the doctors themselves to IT to the cleaning lady to the food workers and selling the buildings to lease them back. It’s the fleecing of America.
