Since the election, I've gotten a lot less scared of Trump and a lot more scared of Democrats who want us to become a party of the second-best Trumps.

今年上半年和19年下半年都分别在同个城市的三甲公里医院做过一次小手术,所以很有对比意义。

19年那次还没有集采药,术前谈话医生还是积极推荐进口麻醉药的,好像是百来块钱,效果很好没啥副作用,下了手术就能吃喝了,同病房也有用国产的,但也不是几块钱的便宜货,好像也要几十块,没听说谁效果不好,副作用特别强烈的。

今年,医院完全被集采药占领,术前谈话我要求用进口的麻药,完全自费不能报销也想用,答曰根本没有自费选项,通通都要用集采麻药,后来看明细,一支只卖几块钱。从手术室出来,吐的一塌糊涂,胃酸都吐出来了,第一天在医院观察打了点葡萄糖。第二天出院只能吃点大米粥,第三天才能吃点正常的食物,而且问了两三个病友,都一样“副作用”强烈。

我就琢磨为啥自费也不许用进口麻药,就是怕病患之间互相比较啊!19年的时候,医院就算采购了国产麻药,那也是合格的至少60分的,还能报销;而进口麻药百来块钱全部自费,就算国产麻药有些小“副作用”,患者们比较一番也就捏着鼻子就认了。

而今年这破集采麻药,如果跟进口麻药比那就太惨烈了,连根以前基本合格的国产麻药都不能比,所以干脆不给你用进口麻药、互相对比的机会!呵呵,算计起来老百姓的时候可真是啥细节都想到了,智慧地很哪!

集采药这个事,我左思右想只要你不是能用上特供医疗的天龙赵家人。甭管你是底层普通打工人、还是IT大厂P7、P8,或者躺赢的土著拆迁村民,甚至政府的小公务员,进了医院都是一样砧板上的肉,就算你是医护,也一样要用这些破药,真是某种意义上实现“平等”了呢!

(明细上的名字就是这个麻醉师说的几块钱的“丙酚泊”,19年几百块钱的大概是“得普利麻”吧!)

象友补充说,医院没有进口麻药是因为进口麻药要花外汇,你国觉得咱们普通人不配花费金贵的外汇!

I would love to see congresspeople start to get elected running on a campaign to tax churches and other fake nonprofit organizations. I'm not sure if it's possible though and until that starts happening I worry that just calling for it to happen is one of those things that makes people think anything they think of is possible to happen if "Democrats just cared".

@Edelruth @pg1958 I have no intention of protesting the election. But I'm going to protest and resist the fascist who was legally (tragically) elected.

Will I do it at the inauguration? I'm not sure. My reservation is completely based on *why* I would protest him in the first place: they're going to take names at *minimum* of who is there.

If people go they should assume they'll be treated as a threat.

• about 1,690,000 km² below the 1990s mean

The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with white for the 1980s, green for the 1990s, blue for the 2000s, and purple for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2002 to 2022. 2024 is shown with a thick gold line.

Critics argue that the lack of transparency undermines public trust.

If she were a Democrat, Republicans would be demanding her resignation.
