  • Okay… But how much of that is realized?

    Before, you told a doctor where to call to get your past records… Now, you tell your doctor where to request your past records. If your doctor works in the same healthcare system campus, they might get them automatically, past that it might happen behind the scenes if you get a referral

    Backups are true… Except everyone has their own proprietary formats that require specific software to access the data, and if one of those companies go under, then what?

    Access controls and tracking are true, but what’s digital can be hacked or leaked. Paper is far more secure - maybe they can phish one person’s records more easily without it, but the wrong IT person (who is multiple steps removed) can leak the whole database

    I’m not saying paper is better - I’m saying electronic medical records are such a garbage fire in implementation that they bog down the healthcare part of healthcare. They eliminate jobs by automating processeses, but they end up getting rid of support staff in exchange for making the healthcare workers do more work

    And I’m not saying it couldn’t be better - I’m saying that it’s just such a mess of proprietary software and regulation that it became one more layer of wealth extraction that bogs down actual healthcare






  • The argument US conservatives love to put forth is “contacting Georgia’s governor and asking that he conjure up enough votes to help Trump win, that’s an official presidential request, it was totally kosher” is wrong, and no other words other than “wrong” need to be used to describe it. Asking a governor to rig an election is not “the exercise of a constitutional power [that cannot] be infringed on [by] holding the individual personally liable” because it is not a constitutional power being exercised. It is just corruption and authoritarianism.

    The problem is this was ruled on (specifically) by the supreme court. Their interpretation is obviously wrong, but the court has all the same members, so it’s unlikely to overrule itself for a while










  • Okay, so Musk’s children show up at the department of XXX. There’s no one there, the building managers who hold the keys could hand the keys over, but they don’t know who they are because the chain of command is at home.

    Also, the Marshalls are at home, so the doge children are showing up alone to navigate this problem. So they break the door down?

    But there’s no one there, so they search the building door by door for a server room. But they encounter a secure area, which they have neither keycards or associated pins for. So they break down the door?

    And now the local police are alerted, but they continue on. They break down a bunch more doors, and find the server room. They proceed to hack random servers in the hopes of finding what they’re looking for

    No, no… Shutting down the government would create endless hurdles for doge, each one that is difficult for a competent person to navigate

    No, it’ll throw them for a loop. Fucking musk got social security records and thought every entry was getting payments, despite many being dead. The dumb fuck didn’t even check their status before crying fraud - which is a serious crime that must be investigated

    The records contain everyone who ever got it, dead or alive

    These people are imbeciles. These chuckle fucks are struggling to accomplish their goals with unlimited power, you think they could navigate a shut down government?

    It’s fucking sickening. This is the one piece of meaningful power they have until the midterms, and Republicans didn’t even bother consulting them.

    Now they want to give it up, for what? A pinky promise they’ll play nice? To make sure Trump doesn’t get ammunition to blame Democrats for everything?

    Fucking coward.
