#Redistribution

2026-02-06

The #healthcare plan already funded by the Public has been scuttled with NO replacement. The tax credits to states - also already paid for by the Public - funding hundreds of me marketplace programs that provide #health & #medical services to tens of thousands of people, were taken and given away by #Congress - largely by donors to the Senate Minority Leader and House Speaker, with a few vague promises to negotiate some scraps back, all now evidently broken. At the end of 2025 the so-called Private #Insurance Industry was greenlighted massive increases to premiums and the associated payments of co-insurance & deductibles. The 2026 budget will scrap virtually all of #Medicaid and most of #Medicare right after this year's midterm #elections. Particularly in rural areas, upward of 40% of hospital revenues come from Medicaid reimbursements which will abruptly cease. HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE are likely to shut down and, in some areas, nearly all will sharply reduce critical services like primary care, emergency rooms, OB/GYN, pharmacy, dialysis, and pediatrics. Many of these particular services will be consolidated to other #hospitals far away with no transportation provided. Thousands will die, tens of thousands will be impoverished, as a direct result. A national #economic failure is more than merely likely. And without good cause; only to crush the Public and to transfer away the remains of its #wealth - our #savings, our #investments - for #redistribution to the untaxed parasites who create nothing, to further ensure that their next six generations will be exempted from the Social Compact.

TrumpRx Denounced as Corrupt Scheme to Line Pockets of Big Pharma—and Don Jr.

@DGI I totally agree with the sought result. Yet, perhaps is not the most politically appealing concept. Sounds like "taking away money from those who earned it" to most people. If we keep this in mind, why not take the problem at the root: only concetrates in the hands of the wealthy when they rip of their employees and suppliers. Rather than for redistribution, I would call for just compensation for the creators of wealth (the workers) aka

#Degrowth in material and energy throughput, combined with a radical #redistribution of #wealth and the devolution of decision-making power to #localgovernments is the only path that can rein in the forces driving #ecological #destruction & #human #sufferingcanadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

La #redistribution comme instrument de lutte contre les #inégalités dans différents #pays ? Un exercice très pédagogique et particulièrement clair de Xavier Timbeau (#OFCE)

Graphique présentant le revenu avant et après redistribution dans différents pays de l'OFCE. Certaines courbes montrent une redistribution faible ou très faible (Etats-Unis, Japon) vers les plus bas revenus ainsi qu'une faible progressivité.
Il montre également le niveau de  "bascule" auquel un individu perd plus qu'il ne gagne à la redistribution. En France 70% des personnes gagnent plus qu'elles ne perdent avec la redistribution : toutes celles qui gagnent moins de 4 232 € bruts par mois.

A quotation from Douglas Adams

NARRATOR: This planet has, or had, a problem which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Phase 1, “Fit the 2nd” (BBC Radio) (1978-03-15)

TC SURJ's Redistributing White Wealth Campaign is an opportunity for white folks to take responsibility for unearned access to resources due to white supremacy and move money as an act of solidarity, not charity.

Monthly contributions currently support local BIPOC community members through these five Black- and Indigenous-led anti-racist organizations:

Southside Community Center

Black Lives Matter Ithaca

The Creative Hub for Culture (formerly Ithaca Multicultural Resource Center)

Alliance of Families for Justice

Článok "Biológia civilizácie" obsahuje hneď v úvode úplne zásadnú chybu, inak sa mi páči.
Jeho najpodstatnejším nedostatokom je neporozumenie anabolizmu.

ANABOLIZMUS vysvetľujem v mojej tretej knihe: SymBiocénna MYSEĽ: Sprievodca svetom osobnej a skupinovej Mysle a vzťahov – makrohistorický pohľad z vnútra skupiny

Zásadná chyba pohľadu je: "systém rozvádza energiu ako krv".
Krv rozvádza energiu (energetické substráty), ktorá je tvorená endogénne vďaka (centrálnemu) dýchaniu a tráveniu a rozvádza ju tam, kde ju nevieme sami tvoriť - teda bunkám (bunky z nich tvoria ATP). BUNKY sú absolútne závislé na prívode živín (aj keď kyslík si vedia čiastočne získať aj kožným dýchaním).

Civilizácia aj jej finn-ekonomický model ale redistribuuje len energiu ktorú extrahuje, lebo ju vyrobiť nevie. Energiu ktorú distribuuje tvorí alebo tvorila (u fosílnej energie) ju len anabolická schopnosť fotosyntetizujúcich bytostí viazať slnečnú energiu, ktorá neprichádza centrálne ale naopak je prinášaná plošne. Finn-ekonomicky systém ju len extrahuje a redistribuuje naspäť na miesta, kde vznikala. Redistribúcia teda nie je nutnosť pre život, ale nutnosť pre fungovanie neživých peňažných a ziskotvorných systémov a entít!

Civilizácia nie je organizmus a nemá BIOlógiu, pretože nemá primárny anabolizmus.
Na rozdiel od heterotrofných organizmov nemá ani ekologickú spätnú väzbu.
Je to "heterotrof", ktorý sa odpojený od biológie (cyklu života), len na nej parazituje.

This brilliant. I've experimented with making similar simulators before, but this from Giving What We Can is so well executed and needed right now... some perspective, and just how lucky we (some of us) are. #charity #wealth #redistribution #fairness #equity #equality

Hype for the Future 43E: National-Scale Social Redistribution

Unfortunately, novaTopFlex will likely never have access to every state in the union in any given individual year. However, for a national social redistribution, the core cities to focus on shall be Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and intermediate cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, also known as BosWash after the end cities of the corridor.

"... #Convenience and ease are values that have arisen largely because the #oligarchs have nothing better to sell us. Good health care, good housing, better transportation: selling us actual improvements to #society has been deemed too expensive, and providing us with improvements on these core components of a decent life would require a real #redistribution of #wealth. They may even require a reordering of society, so they’re off the table. In their place we get #apps that save us 5 minutes in the planning of our week, or #chatbots that save us two seconds of Googling, or #AI music apps that save us hours of learning to really make #art."

Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with #health #insurance through #work

The expiration planned by Congress next month for the “tax credits” (aka subsidies) that allow states to provide the public's access to the healthcare marketplace will create a sudden shock of hundreds of thousands - more likely in the millions - of Americans no longer able to get sickness, disease, and injuries treated; will begin a new period of #medical, #economic and #social collapse. This is combined with massive increases to private insurance including employer-provided plans & programs, and the effective end to all #Medicaid-associated programs nationwide next fall. An avoidable human #catastrophe from #MAGA, which the majority of the US public is only beginning to notice.

Tony McQuail talks about the Federal Budget and what it should be. He uses the lens of his 4 R's - Representation, Regeneration, Redistribution, and Redesign to focus on solutions to Canada's lack of a life affirming Vision.
