I was looking for another video on YouTube and got fed this one. Reminds me that with all our simulations, engagement and storytelling are still key. In this B-17 gunner training video, you’ll hear Mel Blanc helping out with the war effort. #education #military

Additionally, he needs to mislead his followers so they won't notice the 75% increase in their ACA costs.

For 15 years, over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated a law giving patients access to emergency care, with or without insurance.

Almost all the facilities faced the same lack of consequences, a ProPublica investigation found.

By @emcahan.bsky.social
Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.
Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.
