Full plan: https://medium.com/@JoeBiden/the-biden-plan-for-mobilizing-american-talent-and-heart-to-create-a-21st-century-caregiving-and-af5ba2a2dfeb Regarding the disability stuff: He's promising to enact essentially the a watered down Disability Integration Act (eliminating Medicaid Home LTC waiting lists), which for the disability community is the bare minimum we expect. That's it. The "Establish a long-term services and supports innovation fund to help expand home- and community-based alternatives to institutional care" is bullshit, we already know the best models, they just need to be forced on States. "These could include approaches that provide care while allowing individuals to retain independence, such as day programs and respite services that enable unpaid caregivers to work, alternative home and community models that coordinate or directly provide care, and Medicaid buy-in models." What about Medicaid buy-in? Most states already have these and they mostly suck, low income limits with asset limits that include retirement accounts, for people with disabilities who work.

Which isn't ideal since the America class flight 0s aren't a real replacement for an LHD.

Looking like a total loss.

In fairness ULA, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab do the same thing with their launches, just not as well. The much bigger issue is why are traditional American defense and space contractors so bad at innovating whether it be under NASA or DoD? SLS was supposed to be cheap and easy using Shuttle parts, it is neither. Despite backing from the right people in Congress. Until that's fixed we're stuck with the egos.

New booster and capsule for human flights, for now. NASA is open to certifying reused boosters in the future. The plan for the used Crew Dragons is to reuse them stripped down as Cargo Dragons now that Dragon 1 is retired. I don't think they can reuse Crew Dragons for humans because of the salt water on splash down.

X 'ash' A-12, according to him on Rogan this week. Really boring interview where he claimed COVID patients who die of shark attacks are being counted as COVID deaths.

Contract awards 10 hulls, 20-40 possible in the future. This ship is badly needed by the Navy to take the work load off the more sophisticated Destroyers and aging Cruisers, and to replace the Little Crappy Ships.

umm

wtf

The antibody test seems to me just a means to generate statistical data, it's use for the average person seems pretty limited and maybe useless. We need a rapid self contained test (like an at home pregnancy test) that can be mass produced to the point they can be deployed in population bottle necks (everyone going into a grocery store for example) to catch the asymptomatic.

Reason 376 why community based care needs to be the default, not nursing homes. That kind of money can buy amazing care.

That incident is in the PBS Documentary.

Nimitz?

Hawaii = Commander, US Pacific Fleet or US Pacific Command. Insanity.

Excellent short podcast on the situation on the Roosevelt.

I'm several seasons behind on that, I think I stopped with 1848.

I like it, scuttle her.

Captain should disable comms and force march his crew off the ship.

We need a Boeing fucked up thread.
