#Homeless is only a #slur for those who have turned good into a slur (think dogooder). For most, it has been desceiptive only. No value judgement. No charachter establishment. Words have #power. When we attack words, that's #meaningful. When we do so without #merrit, we reduce the power we have into meaningless bickering. It's #autocastration. One might bring forward the change from #homosexual to #gay, but that's #rewriting #history. Or rather, distorting history. /2

#Merrit #ER expecting 30 closures over the next 3 months: mayor https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/10/02/merrit-er-30-closures-3-months-mayor/ “Mayor Mike Goetz says he knows of a health-care worker with unofficial documentation that shows the total number of #ERclosures for this year is set to jump to around 46, from 19 last year.

“We are looking at significant closures over the next three months, close to 30, and we need to know what we, as a community, can do to help with this.” #RuralHealth

For other #InteriorHealth communities such as #Merrit, #Lilooet, #Oliver and #Creston, temporary closures have become a common occurrence.

Since Jan. 1, there have been 62 temporary closures — which Interior Health calls temporary service interruptions — including 28 so far in July.

In #DawsonCreek, the local emergency room was closed over the weekend due to nursing coverage challenges and Chetwynd Hospital will be on diversion Monday evening. (3/4)

Strom ist teuer wie nie. Das hat auch Vorteile
In desem konstruktiven Artikel von #Perspectivedaily wird anschaulich erklärt, warum das #Merrit-order-prinzip doch nicht so schlecht ist und vor allem, wie sie funktioniert und wie sich das Geld vom #Doppelwums auswirkt:
"Vielen ist wahrscheinlich nicht klar, dass sie auf ihrer Rechnung mehr als 10% sparen, wenn sie ihren Verbrauch um 10% senken."
