The Senate aide in the video has been fired by his Democrat senator boss.
According to his LinkedIn, [Senate aide] Maese-Czeropski has worked in Cardin’s office since October 2021, and previously worked as a field organizer for the Democratic Party in Virginia and as a climate researcher for charity Friends of the Earth.
Apparently only the U.S. taxpayer is allowed to be screwed in that room.

Health records are a massive pile of shit. Dreck. A farrago of nonsense.

It’s an interesting dilemma: do we want consistent but centralized systems - or do we want inconsistent but decentralized systems.
Thing is, nobody is actually thinking about how to let patients own this data as they should from the getgo.

Worse than that: we currently have incomplete disconnected systems. It’s not for a lack of technology. Arguably it’s too much technology, each built to a different proprietary “standard”.

Bingo! The Feds demanded that everyone go on an EMR, but had no specification of how it was to work, with whom it was required to be able to talk. The result was that a whole bunch of “inventory programs” tried to become EMR’s. Only they were poor. Only Epic is worth anything - the rest are basically cheap DOS faceplates with little ability to talk to any other program, and poor flexibility to be used easily as an EMR

There is a little privately-published book – not a well-written book, unfortunately – by Vivian Chibuife titled “Dahomey and the Slave Trade”. Ms. Chibuife wrote this book trying to correct misrepresentations in the 2022 movie “The Woman King”, which was a politically-correct history of Black female power as represented by the Agojie, fearless female warriors in the 1800s Kingdom of Dahomey (within present day Benin).
To quote Ms. Chibuife, "The ‘Dahomey Amazons’ were implicated in the capture, enslavement, and sale of other African people even though they served as emblems of strength and power that influenced subsequent movies like ‘Black Panther’ ". She also documents that the Kings of Dahomey strongly opposed the efforts of Europeans & Americans to stop the lucrative (for the kings) Atlantic slave trade.
But Wokesters prefer their fantasies to real histories.

A couple years ago I binge watched some old Adam 12 episodes. After getting past the fact that Reed and Malloy were not paramilitary roid cops, the most noticeable thing was how they always were looking for a payphone or a police box phone.

You gotta assume Elon’s thinking about it. There is even a single-letter ticker symbol on NASDAQ now. Anybody know what it is off the top of their head?
