"A federal watchdog reported Thursday that Georgia’s program requiring able-bodied adults to document low-paying work to get Medicaid has spent much more on administrative costs than on providing health care...The GAO analysis shows that from fiscal year 2021 through the second quarter of 2025, Georgia reported $54.2 million in administrative spending and $26.2 million on health care."

There is a revolution going on in Nepal. The corrupt government has fled the capital because young people revolted at the cut off of social media, which is used by most to communicate with relatives working outside the country and sending money home while TikTok shows the children of the elite partying and sporting luxury goods.

“‘Deserve’ is the word which the possessors use as a weapon against those they dispossess” (Agnes Smedley, quoted by Vivian Gornick in 'The Situation and the Story').
Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement Program Spent Twice as Much on Administrative Costs as on Health Care, GAO Says
---
Republican lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027. A new report shows the program has spent at least $54 million on administrative costs alone.

"Using a mobility aid is not “giving up.“
Using a shower bench is not “lazy.”
Using a ramp is not for “disabled people only.”
Normalizing and not shaming people for using accessibility features reduces the stigma surrounding them. "- Misa on Wheels

If you've ever wondered why #homeless people often prefer tents over being in a shelter, I have a story for you!
They are often worse than being on the streets, and more dangerous. Every time I got into a physical altercation with someone, it was in a shelter. 90% of the time I had something stolen, it was in a shelter.
They're even more filthy and covered in bugs than a tent.
I was glad when my #disability was approved, and was able to get out.
Great news! ‘The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia’ will be released in paperback in January 2026 🎉 This means that the book will soon be available at a more affordable price and I’m glad it will reach more readers. In the new blogpost, I respond to some of the critical reflections from reviewers. Read Part 1 here 👉🏽 https://alexandrinavanke.com/2025/07/25/paperback-release-incoming-what-critics-think-about-my-book-and-why-it-matters-for-the-class-debate-part-1/

Jasmin Belanger believed the deal was simple: pay off what she owed, and her landlord would let her keep her housing.
It wasn’t until months later that she learned it had left her with a permanent record of an eviction — despite there never being one.
