I have told the story of my daughter’s search for a first house. Every one they put an offer in on got snapped up by corporations, up until one that had been snapped up was rejected after inspection. Normal people cannot compete with these guys for housing. Generational wealth becomes even more important in this situation.

Just like with climate change, corporations and regulatory agencies knew about PFAS for decades and either did nothing or covered it up. Now there are lawsuits and settlements, as well as growing awareness of the problem - as covered in this report:

Was told this morning that the child psych division at UVA, which 2 years ago consisted of 7 fellows and 5 attendings, as of today was at 2 fellows and 1 attending after the rest quit due to being overworked and underpaid. The rest were threatening to quit as well until they instituted strict limits on how many and what they would see. Unfortunately, that leaves us in primary care with the untenable options to either manage conditions we have no training or experience in, or tell kids “Sucks to be you, good luck with that.” That collapse of the healthcare system that has fallen out of the headlines? It did not go away, it continues apace. Of course, the consequence is that those of us left are carrying more of the load, burning out faster and leaving the field. It is not getting better. At all.

And the joke is on us here in Ontario :canada:. Our premier Doug Ford is promising “bold action” after he cut, in real terms, nurse’s wages to the point that far too many of them quit. The “bold action” phrase is his way of saying “we manufactured a crisis so that we can reward our buddies with private health care contracts”.

With apologies to our :us: cousins… we all know how that works out…
