How the BIDEN'S Infrastructure Program Is Paying Off
Historic improvements to America’s roads, bridges, airports, public utilities, and communications networks have
generated surging demand
management reached out to the union with an unprecedented proposal.
The company asked to reopen the local’s contract
and negotiate an additional pay increase
so it could hire and retain enough workers to meet the dramatic e in orders.
“Everybody in the union got a raise,” Frydenger recalled.
“It’s had such an impact that in our new hire orientations, our general manager talks about it,” Frydenger said of the IIJA.
“That’s how big an impact it’s had on sales.
He gives all the credit to the infrastructure bill.”
“The orders have just piled up because of the rebuilding and construction,”
“They’re growing. They just hired more people,”
The increase in orders “probably added 50 jobs we never would have had,”

I'd like to thank the prime minister of Colombia for his "leadership as ASEAN chair."

How you doing, Chris? Tell your parents I'm happy for 'em. I know the last few days been heaven on Earth as far as they concerned.
Decade audits revealed widespread insurance company overcharges to Medicare Advantage, but the auditors seem to be protecting the insurance companies rather than the public.
https://khn.org/news/article/audits-...e-overcharges/The government’s audits uncovered about $12 million in net overpayments for the care of 18,090 patients sampled, though the actual losses to taxpayers are likely much higher. Medicare Advantage, a fast-growing alternative to original Medicare, is run primarily by major insurance companies.
Officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have said they intend to extrapolate the payment error rates from those samples across the total membership of each plan — and recoup an estimated $650 million as a result.
But after nearly a decade, that has yet to happen. CMS was set to unveil a final extrapolation rule Nov. 1 but put that decision off until February.
Ted Doolittle, a former deputy director of CMS’ Center for Program Integrity, which oversees Medicare’s efforts to fight fraud and billing abuse, said the agency has failed to hold Medicare Advantage plans accountable. “I think CMS fell down on the job on this,” said Doolittle, now the health care advocate for the state of Connecticut.

COVID less deadly now
however that may be, it's the third leading cause of death in the US this year, behind cancer and heart disease.
What public health commonplace do you think Biden should adhere to or adapt?
Support for masking, COVID testing/reporting, wastewater monitoring (benefits here aren't COVID specific) ventilation and filtration for workplaces and schools (benefits here aren't COVID specific, either.)
Updating CDC isolation guidance to reflect empirically measured disease progression would be nice; so would paid leave to prevent workplace transmission.
The absence of any coordinated push for new vaccines and treatments -- a Warp Speed 2.0 -- is sheer incompetence.
I agree with approximately all of this:

Visualization of the death count, selected for the Biden-Trump comparison.
Avoidable mass morbidity and death tolerated for reasons of economic expedience is just one of the continuities between Biden and Trump.

Biden blew it too.
The triple-demi of flu, RSV and COVID is already crushing pediatric hospitals, but the Biden administration is rebuffing calls to clear away bureaucratic red tape to help them respond.
Gonna be another rough winter.
As seasonal flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), coronavirus and other respiratory viruses swarm the country, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association argue an emergency declaration, which would grant providers additional funding and more flexibility from regulations, is the best and fastest way to help the overburdened health system.https://thehill.com/policy/healthcar...e-in-children/According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, the hospitalization rate in all kids for the week of Nov. 12 peaked at 17.5 out of every 100,000, a rate that was twice as high as any other season on record.
