It is true that is a dumbshit thing to do and you couldn't pay me to swim in basically any body of water around here, but also it has been pretty dry and iirc the overflow into rock creek primarily happens when it rains hard and we end up crossing the storm water and sewage streams.

If it doesn't stink that day, you still shouldn't go in but idk how harmful it really is to you in a non-theoretical way.

Ya I hate that he isn't going to get sick and then it will only reinforce his dumbass beliefs.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the nation's most publicly recognized vaccine skeptics, took a softened approach on vaccines when he answered questions before a House committee Wednesday morning, saying, "I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me."

Asked by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan if he would today vaccinate his own children for measles and chickenpox, Kennedy said "probably" for measles, but that "what I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant."

Well, my Medicaid is through UHC. Though I guess I won't have to worry about that much longer either way...

[NotGreyheim]

And so it begins...

Doesn't make any fucking sense to politicize a vaccine. Christ.

This is so far beyond the pale, Brian Thompson can see it in hell.

One term that UnitedHealth executives obsessed over was “admits per thousand” – APK for short. It was a measure of the rate that nursing homes sent their residents to the hospital. Under the “Premium Dividend” program, a low APK qualified a nursing home for the various bonus payments the insurer offered. A high APK meant that a nursing home received nothing.

The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative.

Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams “budgets” showing how many hospital admissions they had “left” to use up on nursing home patients.

The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with “do not resuscitate” – or DNR – and “do not intubate” orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays.

Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their “code status” to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.

I wouldn't shed a tear if any more United execs met an early demise. Infact I might even cheer it on. We'll see I guess

Sadly, I think that is what it's going to take for anything to change. Not just one or two people — it will have to start being as often as school shootings before the rich get the message. We are past peaceful talking, debates, etc. — they do not care. I speak with hard-core MAGAs and people to the left of AOC often, and the only thing they tend to agree on is that they don't care if these people get shot.

I don't think your Hippo oath applies to ghouls.

No one wished death upon them.

I'm just saying I won't be bothered if someone 3d printed a gun and turned them into swiss cheese. Plenty of other things in the world worth being bothered by, least of which is a predatory healthcare admin that tries hard to deny servicing healthcare.

These people are literally responsible for countless avoidable deaths and people still go "yeah but murder is a step too far".
