This is the insight I came looking for.
Don’t fully track the finer points, eg. & IMO more likely to be a push towards the autocratic stewards managing Trump as a lame duck tainted by the Epstein scandal and policy backlash going into 2026. But yeah… tracks generally
Thanks for the thoughts
As much as I hate the ruling family of Saudi Arabia… get off it:

Your information is dated. We are net exporters of crude oil for the past 15-years with majority of import from Canada and Mexico
But for what it’s worth - fully believe renewables are the way forward for geopolitical and ecological stability. This is the more important narrative
But what if the net ROI on those data centers is massively below the working average cost of capital… what is stated above is still massively destructive to capital and economic activity
Sending love. Good on you for what you do
What the fuck would you propose they do?
You forgot a part: Even giving him the largest benefit of the doubt (that he didn’t earn), he , Trump, a convicted rapist on the state of NY hung out with Jeffrey fucking Epstein, known sex trafficker and child abuser. If I chose to spend time with him, even close acquaintances would judge me harshly for that, and rightly so…
Based on reported experiences, privately run for-profit centers are maximizing profit at the expense of providing appropriate care. They do so by:
Pushing for maximum weekly hours they can charge public/private insurers based on coverage (without deferment to child/family needs)
Using in some cases remote/foreign low cost labor for diagnosis / non-care provision, while charging US rates
Aggressive sales tactics
Paying high wages to new graduates, but with a low ceiling on wages and high case load, leading to rotating care to the detriment of building a strong relationship with patients
Most of the providers are good people who mean well and want to help children. The problem is there is a lack of available services and centers for these families, so if the model weren’t so profit centric at the expense of disabled children the added investment would be welcome
