Let’s hope someone has the means to sue in civil court.

In addition, another doctor can put this fraudulent MD in front of the board, on their license, and see where that goes. This incident doesn’t have to end here.

It’s a nasty species whatever it is. We have to burrow with our hands to pull out the roots. They appear to send runners, like mint or bamboo. We’re thinking of trying a sod cutter next.

We’re trying to keep the plastic to a minimum, though that’s likely a losing battle.

The last raised bed, cardboard and fir chips underneath, filled last summer, was so tight with grass at the edges, when I tried to pull the grass out by the base a giant section of dirt 6 inches deep came with it. Roughly 1/6 the soil need replacing after that one pull.

There has to be a better way.

How can people be so stupid?

Lawns are pernicious beasts that keep trying to take back the spaces we try to carve out for garden and food.

It’s worse than hedge bindweed and I don’t know what to do about it.

One of his followers did try to shoot him for it. Strange, the shooter’s reasons were not well publicized.

If you’re in a state with ballot measures, then you could campaign for rules against single family home HOAs.

Don’t forget the venture capitalist factor. Your doctor’s office and your PCP are different, more rushed, now because of venture capitalists.

They’ve hoovered up many clinics and now force each doctor employed by those clinics to book themselves like an airport. No more free slots. Regimented 15min time slots, back to back. Anyone late to an appointment loses their slot and may even have to pay a “no show”/late fee. None of these decisions were made by front lines workers, they were all made by corporate owners of those clinics.

Outcome? People don’t get heard. Don’t address all their issues (they’re allowed one issue per visit, for max profit, in addition to there only being time for one issue during those tiny appointments). They hate their PCPs (instead of corporate) and instead flood Urgent Care and the Emergency Department for PCP problems neither UC or ED will solve. Thus, everyone gets sicker.

Love TNG. DS9 is my fave. Love the new stuff too. OS is great as well.

Insanity. Pure, unmitigated insanity.

Walz broke that a little, freely calling people dipshits and poking at Vance with Reddit rhetoric. But it didn’t win so they likely won’t roll it out again.

It looks like their main strategy is to roll Buttigieg out in increments as their new face.

Meanwhile, Bernie and AOC are going their own way.
