I think any reasonable reading of the evidence tells you that the entire planet needs to shovel a few more points of GDP into the health-care sector. Because, um, what is more important?

Yeah, that implies higher taxes. Or slashing spending on something else, for example the military.

economist.com/leaders/2023/01/…

Spending on health care is at an all-time high in the rich world. The trouble is that “all-time high” does not necessarily mean “enough”. Ageing populations increase demand. Health-care systems compete for staff with other parts of the economy, so doctors’ and nurses’ wages must keep pace with prevailing rates of pay. Costs rise even if health-care productivity stagnates. The unforgiving logic of this “cost disease” means that in ageing societies health-care spending must usually grow as a share of the economy just to maintain a given level of provision. Countries, such as Britain and Italy, that in the years before the covid-19 pandemic cut health-care spending as a share of GDP, or held it constant, were already on a path to worse services.

Excess deaths are soaring as health-care systems wobble

What lessons can be learned from a miserable winter across the rich world?

Trans people on HRT change their biological sex, not just their gender. Chromosomes are supposed to tell your body which hormones to produce, but sometimes they mess up even in cis people! HRT changes your biological sex at the actual source. It affects everything from secondary sex characteristics to muscle/fat ratios and even your disease risk profile. Trans people on HRT undergo puberty to become their intended biological sex. Yeah science! genderdysphoria.fyi/en/hormone…

Hormones: How do they work

Keys, Locks, and Car Ignitions
That's Gender Dysphoria, FYI

Wanna also note here that changing your gender without changing your sex is totally valid and so is changing your sex without changing your gender. People deserve to have bodies that make them comfortable and be gendered in society in a way that reflects their internal identity. We should learn to not only respect others but celebrate the awesome diversity that makes us all human!

Did you know you could use Mastodon as a comment platforms on your blog? I blogged about this 2 years ago carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/addin… but since there has been a lot of newcomers recently, it might be a good idea to share it again 😜

Adding comments to your static blog with Mastodon

One of the biggest disadvantages of static site generators is that they are static and can’t include comments. There are multiples solutions to solve this problem.
