    This is the best Twitter thread in human history.
    My friend is a history teacher. She's compiling a list of great historical figures and she needs a male to add to the list. Suggestions?

    Imagine what Americans would be saying and doing if 4,000 people were dying every day in an allied country because of a deadly enemy. We'd mobilize, send supplies and resources. We'd send troops. We'd call it "Operation Something." Our fight would be a source of national pride.

    I'm sitting in the vestibule of a hospital ER. My dad's blood pressure spiked dangerously high and his heart rate dropped to 40. He has a genetic hypertension issue that I'm hopeful synthetic biology will someday solve. But that's not why I'm writing. Please read entire thread.

    In an alternate history, we made different choices. We didn't commercialize the hell out of healthcare. We didn't whine about masks and spread lies about vaccines. I'm pissed off and you should be too. </>

    Private models are good in some cases. But ambulances and EMTs? I hope for your sake you are never in a situation where a Lyft is your only reasonable option to get to an ER. Our healthcare system in America is so, so broken. Unforgivably broken.
