I've been a reviewer of medical CMEs in nutrition for nurses and physicians and the quality control is just not there. You don't have armies of experts providing CMEs - you have often minimally trained folks who self anointed with nutr expertise giving them and they don't know what they don't know

one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone
Universal programs + progressive taxation is so much more efficient and equitable than means testing. www.vox.com/policy/39322...
What if everyone qualified for welfare benefits?
Universal programs are much easier to administer than means-tested ones.

➡️ Private apartment vacancy rates in Charlottetown, PEI over the past decade (Oct 2014 - Oct 2024).
Its been a rough go for renters since 2017.
Note the blip increase in 2020? STR operators reverting back to the long-term market because the pandemic decimated tourist season that year.
