When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

that's small potatoes compared to this motherfucker's affordable childcare plan

quote:

The Child Care Equity Fund will invest capital in eligible families that apply for the program to cover a portion of child care costs. The terms of the agreement — size of the investment, payback percentage and duration — will vary from family to family based on the amount of financing, income, and risk profile. The payback period will start once the child has entered school and last a period of years (at maximum until the child graduates high school). Like a company repaying an investor (rather than a debtor repaying a lender), the parents will not owe a monthly debt payment but rather a fixed percentage of monthly income to the Fund.

The tense exchange between the two men happened on the same day that the Atlanta suburb of Griffin, Georgia, declared April as Confederate History Month. While speaking about the declaration during the public comments portion of the meeting, Larry Mr Johnson, a former member of the board who is white, immediately turned his attention to Rodney McCord, who appears to have been one of two black officials at the table.

Guillotine report:
my wife set up a playdate with one of the other moms from my sons daycare class. As soon as I gpsed the address I saw it was in the richest part of town and our instructions were to "park in front of either the first or 2nd garage". The house must have been about 5,000 sq ft, with a backyard bigger than my entire property, a front yard, an inground pool, a tennis court, and a fridge stocked exclusively from whole foods.
But they are super nice and my son and their son are friends so please spare them from the revolution, tia

But if we cure people... less money? :thunk:

quote:

Goldman Sachs analysts attempted to address a touchy subject for biotech companies, especially those involved in the pioneering "gene therapy" treatment: cures could be bad for business in the long run.

"Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" analysts ask in an April 10 report entitled "The Genome Revolution."

"The potential to deliver 'one shot cures' is one of the most attractive aspects of gene therapy, genetically-engineered cell therapy and gene editing. However, such treatments offer a very different outlook with regard to recurring revenue versus chronic therapies," analyst Salveen Richter wrote in the note to clients Tuesday. "While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow."

this is the part where everyone feigns outrage at that evil investment bank and pharmaceutical companies while ignoring the fact that both are merely acting as they must given their place within the capitalist system

conceptually understanding complex systems is something that a significant portion of the human population are incapable of

luckily Good Capitalist Bill Gates will very publicly donate some money somewhere and everyone will be reassured that the system, while flawed, works

There's nothing that says you can't cure a disease based off a financial plan where the patient pays a percentage of their income for the rest of their life because they're now 100% cancer free.

You get healthier patients and an indefinite revenue stream...that's win-win folks! Hire me Goldman Sachs!

If you completely cure them, they lose the incentive to keep paying to not die.

If only there was a system where some sort of authority, like, dunno, state, can mandate collection of resources from every citizen, creating a monetary pool which can pay for treatment where the middleman is incentivised to pay for research of permanent cures as they've got nothing to gain from their patients being ill as it means no extra income but only extra losses.

That'd be pretty cool I think.
