Healthcare should not be big business. We are not a functioning society if we don't try our best to take care of each other. #healthcare04 Apr 2026 14:26 +0000at://did:plc:jvr3d3dhvtjmtxqkla2ae4z5/app.bsky.feed.post/3miogwp5elc27https://bsky.app/profile/dogsofdesmoines.bsky.social/post/3mi7wsquo6c2nScammers are really working this hard!

How almost everyone & everything keeps deteriorating. It's slow enough that you don't always notice it in the day to day minutia but the accumulated pressure has building so once you start looking it's everywhere.
