Bottom Line:
👉 Approximately 14,660 potential excess #deaths per year!
👉 The equivalent of the seventh leading cause of #death (age 25-65)
👉 Approximately 623 000 additional individuals will face #catastrophic health-care #costs annually
What #Trump and the #GOP are trying to do is Bad Juju!
"Approximately 72 million individuals in the USA are enrolled in #Medicaid nationwide.2 Without compensatory state-level policies, an estimated 15·5 million people would lose Medicaid coverage in the 40 states that expanded Medicaid and the District of Columbia.2 A 2022 study linked Medicaid expansion with an 11·8 per 100 000 person-year reduction in mortality of people aged 25–64 years (95% CI –21·3 to –2·2).3 Applying this figure to the states affected by the proposed cuts, potential excess deaths could reach approximately 14 660 (95% CI 2733 to 26 462) over a 1-year period for people aged 25–64 years, the equivalent of the seventh leading cause of death in that age group across affected states.4 Certain populations, such as rural residents with low income, might be disproportionately affected."
"Loss of Medicaid coverage will increase financial hardship. The 2008 Medicaid expansion in Oregon reduced the incidence of catastrophic health-care expenditures by 4·48 percentage points (95% CI –0·69 to –8·26).5 Based on projected coverage losses, we estimate that approximately 623 000 additional individuals aged 25–64 years (95% CI 91 000 to 1·07 million) will face catastrophic health-care costs annually."
This [deep #seafloor #mining] is being planned on some of the least resilient #ecosystems on the planet. It would have #catastrophic #biological consequences." - Douglas McCauley, professor of #oceanscience at the University of California Santa Barbara
#NPR: The U.S. takes a step toward allowing #mining on the ocean floor, a fragile #ecosystem
by Julia Simon, April 25, 2025
"President #Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at making it easier for companies to mine the deep seafloor, saying it would create 'a robust domestic supply for critical minerals.'
"There is currently no commercial-scale deep-sea mining anywhere in the world. But companies have long eyed the ocean floor as a potential source of metals like nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies.
"The world has no rulebook for deep-sea mining. One company is pushing forward anyway
"These metals can be found in potato-sized nodules lying on the ocean floor. Many of the nodules are in the middle of the Pacific ocean, beyond the legal territory of individual countries.
"Thursday's order might circumvent ongoing international negotiations to regulate deep-sea mining.
"Those regions have traditionally been overseen by an international organization, the #InternationalSeabedAuthority (#ISA). The ISA has hosted talks for years to try to hammer out a rulebook to govern a potential seabed mining industry. The U.S. did not ratify the treaty that governs the seabed, and is not a voting member of the ISA, though in the past under previous administrations it has respected the ISA process.
"In his executive order, Trump instructed federal agencies to expedite the process for reviewing and issuing permits for mining on the seafloor in both U.S. and international territory. It will use a U.S. law from 1980, the "#DeepSeabed Hard Mineral Resources Act."
"Scientists and environmental groups condemned the order, arguing that opening the deep seabed for mining could disrupt important marine ecosystems, and damage the fishing industry.
" 'This is being planned on some of the least resilient #ecosystems on the planet,' says Douglas McCauley, professor of ocean science at the University of California Santa Barbara. 'It would have #catastrophic biological consequences.'
"Underwater mining can create plumes of sediment that could suffocate marine life, and degrade the #FoodWebs that fish depend on, McCauley says.
"There are also important questions about whether we actually need to be mining the seabed to get enough of these minerals for technologies like batteries, says Micah Ziegler, assistant professor of energy and chemical systems at Georgia Institute of Technology.
"While a couple of years ago researchers were concerned about the limitations of land-based mining for metals like cobalt and nickel, a variety of alternative #battery chemistries have been developed that might reduce the need for those elements, Ziegler says."

During dinner, "the #system" #feeds the few who consume all the #resources while the rest #survive on #scraps. Inevitably, the #struggle for what remains leads to #catastrophic change. The offspring of this #transition turns out not to be a sign of #hope, but the spitting image of the parents.

by the stuttering of #PeterThiel u can tell that he was asked the right question
"Do you plan to destroy #democracy and replace it with #TechnoFacism where u are the #palantir #overlord?" (aka from #oligarch to #king #monarch #dictator #dicktator or worse)
the #rich have one fear: to one day be #poor again because their #privileges got taken away
the most dangerous are the #poweraddicts (like #Hitler #Stalin #Putin) which will sacrifice everyone and everything for even more #power maybe #PeterThiel is one of them?
#btw concentration of #power (into not #democratic elected hands) is literately the #definition of #fascism
You will never hear an #honest word from those people, if it does not serve their gain more #power agenda :(

the orange #Trumpet "i love the poorly educated" "we are the smartest people we are the most loyal people 46% with the #hispanics 46%" (sure u do they are the easiest to trick) check this pinned post, why #Socrates already knew this is #catastrophic https://infosec.exchange/@Linknation/113918099997688161 #solutions? some #reform ideas for #inspiration https://infosec.exchange/@Linknation/114043622593027250 #wtf #democracy is #fucked #politics #politik #trump
@nazokiyoubinbou @hacks4pancakes before the #3rdreich the prevalent (#corrupt) #democratic parties of #Germany also thought #Hitler was a useful idiot (easy to control), pray that #Trump will actually step down after 4 years and not go full #Hitler (or maybe be replaced by an #AI overlord influenced (u guessed it) by Mr #Musk or secret services or both ?) very dark #scifi #1984 #catastrophic #dystopia

Clutter in space presents an imminent threat to human activity at or above the #Kármán #line,
the altitude at which conventional aircraft can no longer fly
—about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the surface.
As more objects are launched into orbit, the possibility of #catastrophic #collisions increases.
More frequent collisions increase the volume of debris, thereby raising the odds of another collision.
Like a traffic jam, eventually the area becomes so congested that nothing can move safely.
The minimum speeds necessary to achieve orbit are very high,
thus everything up there moves extremely fast.
Basic physics teaches that the faster an object moves, the higher energy it carries into an impact scenario.
For this reason, even tiny morsels pack a devastating punch.
For example:
An object 10 cm wide (3.9 inches) packs the same force as 7 kg (15.4 lbs.) of TNT.
With limited ability to conduct repairs and collect debris,
the problem worsens with each occurrence.
Decades ago, a NASA physicist calculated how this situation can eventually devolve into disaster.
He determined that putting low earth orbit (where most human-made objects reside) into such a state of chaos will lead to space travel
—manned or unmanned
—eventually becoming impossible.
This principle is now called the #Kessler #Syndrome.
