The Ford government is starving local public hospitals to privatize them, charge health advocates (www.globenewswire.com)

In addition, the Coalition reports the Ford government has:

  • Imposed real dollar cuts on public hospitals, pushing them into service closures and deficits, while funding for-profit hospitals and clinics with increases up to and over 300%. Ontario funds its public hospitals at the lowest rate of all provinces.
  • Funded private for-profit hospitals at double the rate per surgery than it funds public hospitals.
  • Funded private for-profit ophthalmology clinics across Ontario at 21% - 56% more for each cataract surgery.
  • Refused to take action on the for-profit staffing agencies that are charging up to three times more than public hospitals for staff, having escalated their prices by more than 70% since Ford took office, while imposing wage caps and real dollar cuts on staff in public hospitals.
  • Chronically underspent the health care budget, shunting billions to contingency fund and budget surplus, while leaving hospitals in unprecedented crisis.

“Hundreds of millions of dollars in public money is being used to dismantle and privatize our public hospitals, robbing the public to build the private,” said Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition.

Which street-level image service do you commit to and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like Mapilio. However the main drawback for me is the OSM ID editor integration isn't as good as Mapillary and its AI detection of bicycle parking isn't as good either. But it's early on and they're still working very well overall so it's worth it for me.

One big benefit of having street-level images is that it makes mapping much easier. In terms of company ownership, yeah they're both not great companies. However, I'd rather have two evil companies competing than one evil company with a monopoly.

Specialized air tool pump won't stay on valve extenders for aero rims (lemmy.world)
 

My pump won't stay on my valve extenders because it does not have the threading required for it to grip or stay on the valve. Is there any solution to this? Perhaps some sort of adapter?
