Sex & Shenanigans

And the government won't act because both parties are getting so much money in donations. There isn't a good faith actor in any of this.

I have problems with organized religion, but the hospital systems were so much more human when the nuns ran them.
100% agree. We have a Catholic & Adventist hospitals in my area. For reasons too long to explain here, I've got quite serious opinions on hospital care. The Catholic & Adventist hospitals are just different. The staff seem happier, the nurses & MA'S are just nicer, the doctors are more at ease. It's just an entirely different, more human focused atmosphere. Juxtaposed against a university hospital, where you feel more specimine than human, and I'd choose a Catholic/Adventist hospital every time, if given the choice!
 
I am going to get on a capitalist soapbox rant because I see so much of this happening in multiple aspects of our lives. Over the past ten/fifteen years I have watched private equity firms move in to invest in healthcare systems and watched them suck the humanity out of providing care to patients in need. Everything becomes about extracting as much predictable profit as possible. About seven or eight years ago I saw the same thing happen in the housing market.. Private equity firms started buying up single family homes and then progressively started increasing rent and requirements. They set the "market rate" because they have the volumes to do so and there's little to no consumer protections.

You are not crazy

We are living in late stage capitalism
It feels like it's targeted to block out lower income "working class" families for sure! And I feel like our current landlord equates us with illegal immigrants and wants complete control over knowing what family member is here at all times. We have done things legally even though it takes forever to do so from a third world Muslim non-white country. We will continue to do things legally. Why are we still being punished?!?!?!
 
Many a discussion has been had on brick blogs about "Fun Whole". Terrible, terrible name. Obviously cooked up by a non-native English speaker, or just a poor use of Google translate.

However, the reviews are actually pretty good. The bricks are high quality, and while the foundations can be tricky, they sets are well done. I don't own any, but there are a few that I've got my eye on & wouldn't mind adding g to my collection
I’m not a brick guy but there’s some overlap in what YouTube recommends, I’m sorely tempted by that cyberpunk apt. But I don’t have room for the hobby I got!

I am a brick guy but, alas, a snob. I only buy Lego.
My first set as a kid was before the people had faces and moveable arms and legs. 😁
