W Zawierciu dwoje małych dzieci – 2-letnia dziewczynka i 3-letni chłopiec – biegało bez ubrań wzdłuż drogi krajowej nr 78. Zaalarmowani przez przechodniów policjanci ustalili, że dzieci wydostały się z mieszkania przez otwarte okno. W domu funkcjonariusze zastali rodziców oraz ich roczne dziecko. Matka miała 1,8 promila alkoholu, a ojciec 0,4 promila. Dzieci przebadali ratownicy medyczni, na szczęście nie wymagały hospitalizacji i trafiły pod opiekę babci. Rodzice zostali zatrzymani i usłyszeli zarzuty narażenia dzieci na niebezpieczeństwo. Grozi im do 5 lat więzienia. Sprawą zajmie się również sąd rodzinny. #Zawiercie #bezpieczeństwo #dzieci

🚨 AVANÇO! Lula acaba de sancionar lei que acelera o atendimento de urgências cardiovasculares no SUS. Agora, medicamentos trombolíticos poderão ser aplicados nas UPAs em casos de infarto e AVC isquêmico, sem que o paciente precise esperar a transferência para um hospital especializado. A medida pode evitar milhares de mortes, principalmente fora dos grandes centros. A lei entra em vigor em 180 dias. #saúde #SUS #urgência
Hoje demos mais um passo importante para tornar o atendimento no SUS mais eficiente, fazendo com que quem depende da rede pública tenha acesso cada vez mais rápido ao cuidado de que precisa. Sancionei uma lei que fortalece o atendimento às urgências cardiovasculares no SUS. Na prática, ela amplia as condições para que medicamentos que ajudam a dissolver coágulos possam ser usados mais rapidamente, inclusive nas UPAs, no SAMU e em outros serviços de urgência e emergência, quando houver indicação médica. Quando uma pessoa sofre um infarto ou um AVC, cada minuto conta. E é por isso que eu digo que na saúde, não estamos falando de gasto. Estamos falando de investimento na coisa mais sagrada que existe: salvar vidas. Isso faz parte de uma história que começamos há muitos anos. Criamos o SAMU, ampliamos as UPAs e agora seguimos fortalecendo e integrando essa rede para que o atendimento chegue cada vez mais rápido a quem precisa. O nosso objetivo é que quem tem menos recursos tenha cada vez mais acesso ao mesmo cuidado de qualidade de quem pode pagar pelo melhor hospital. É esse o SUS que queremos construir: moderno, ágil, humano, democrático e cada vez mais capaz de oferecer o melhor tratamento para a população brasileira. 📸 @ricardostuckert #Saúde #SUS #Urgência
It's pathetic watching the government assure their European "partners" that Ireland will join the new arms race. We have more than 17,500 people homeless, a million people on hospital waiting lists, but the government wants to triple arms spending. https://t.co/e17gkGtWN9 #Ireland #ArmsRace #Homelessness #IE #EU
Urgent patients at the Amadora-Sintra Hospital face waiting times longer than 12 hours for a first medical examination, due to a high shortage of doctors and nurses, as acknowledged by the Minister of Health. (translated)

Bueno, dia 13 de estancia en el de 12 de octubre. Ya me han quitado la morfina aunque sigo con el fentanilo, tramadol, nolotil y paracetamol. Me sientan en un sillón al lado de la cama y en breve me han dicho que voy a andar. Las roturas tienen que soldarse. El otro día cuando di las gracias a los/las enfermeros del hospital, se me olvidó agradecer el trato a los compañeros de Guardia Civil que llegaron los primeros e hicieron todas las gestiones. Gracias compañeros de verde pero si me conocéis, sabéis que aun siendo yo azul, os llevo siempre en mi corazón, no me lo tengáis en cuenta. #hospital #recuperación #agradecimiento
“Socialism Was Good in Theory” That sentence assumes the theory was never seriously challenged. It was. Long before the Soviet Union existed, before Lenin seized power, and before socialism had been tested on a national scale, major thinkers were already attacking its foundations—from very different directions. Five of them stand out. Tocqueville: Equality Can Become Servitude In 1848, Alexis de Tocqueville drew a sharp distinction between democracy and socialism. Both spoke about equality. But Tocqueville believed they pursued it in fundamentally different ways. Democracy, in his view, sought equality while preserving individual freedom. Socialism risked achieving equality by expanding the power of the state over the individual. His warning was essentially this: equality is not automatically liberty. A society can pursue equality so aggressively that it begins sacrificing the independence that makes political freedom meaningful. Bastiat: Follow Where Redistribution Leads Two years later, Frédéric Bastiat attacked socialism from a different direction. His question was deceptively simple: What happens when the state acquires the authority to take from some people and give to others in the name of justice? Bastiat called this “legal plunder.” His concern was not merely that redistribution might be expensive. It was that once government becomes the instrument through which competing groups obtain benefits from one another, politics can turn into a permanent struggle over who controls the machinery of redistribution. The problem, therefore, wasn’t simply how much the state redistributed. It was the principle that made redistribution legitimate in the first place. (bastiat.org) Nietzsche: Equality Can Become Resentment Nietzsche approached socialism neither as an economist nor as a constitutional theorist. He attacked its psychology. He saw modern egalitarian movements as part of a much older moral impulse: resentment toward exceptional individuals and suspicion of strength, ambition and hierarchy. For Nietzsche, the danger was not simply that everyone might become economically equal. It was that a culture could begin treating excellence itself as something morally suspect. The goal would cease to be lifting people upward. It would become bringing the exceptional downward. Böhm-Bawerk: Challenge the Economics Then came Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. In 1896, he turned his attention specifically toward Marx’s economic system. His criticism was not primarily moral or political. It was technical. Böhm-Bawerk argued that Marx’s theory of value did not adequately explain how the labor values developed in Capital could be reconciled with the actual prices Marx subsequently needed to explain. In other words, he attacked socialism where it claimed to possess a scientific economic foundation. The argument became one of the central criticisms of Marxian economics and helped launch a debate that would continue for generations. Mises: The Calculation Problem Then, in 1920, Ludwig von Mises attacked an even more fundamental question: Even if socialism is morally desirable, how would a socialist economy actually know what to produce? A functioning economy has millions of competing uses for scarce resources. Build a bridge or a hospital? Use steel here or there? Produce more machinery or more consumer goods? Under private ownership and markets, prices for capital goods provide information about relative scarcity and opportunity costs. Mises argued that abolishing private ownership of the means of production also removes the genuine market prices necessary for rational economic calculation. The problem wasn’t simply that socialist planners might make bad decisions. It was that the system deprived them of the very economic signals required to systematically compare those decisions. (Mises Institute) And that was the sequence. Tocqueville challenged the political premise. Bastiat challenged the moral and legal mechanism of redistribution. Nietzsche challenged the psychology behind egalitarianism. Böhm-Bawerk challenged Marx’s economic theory. Mises challenged the possibility of rational central economic calculation. Five different thinkers. Five different objections. And all of them came before the Soviet Union had demonstrated what large-scale socialist government would actually look like. So “socialism was good in theory, but bad in practice” is not an argument. It is a historical claim that requires you to explain why these theoretical objections were wrong. The interesting question isn’t whether socialism had critics. It did. The interesting question is whether socialism ever adequately answered them” - ChatGPT
Health Minister Ana Paula Martins warned that the Amadora-Sintra Hospital will face intense pressure in emergency services in the coming weeks due to a lack of doctors and nurses, in addition to 240,000 patients without a family doctor in the region. (translated)

Extremamente grave. Se Moraes de fato recebeu tal mensagem e não tomou as providências cabíveis diante da possível ocorrência de um crime, no mínimo cometeu prevaricação. Considerando que sua esposa mantinha um contrato de R$ 129 milhões com Vorcaro, é imprescindível apurar eventual prática de corrupção. O procurador-geral da República deve se declarar impedido, não apenas por ter sido citado na mensagem, mas também por ter recebido, segundo noticiado pela imprensa, hospitalidade e entretenimento de luxo patrocinados por Vorcaro em Londres. #Corrupção #Prevaricação #Justiça
