Hey! I've been meaning to sell this FitDesk 2.0 desk bike and never got around to it. Glad I peeped your comment. I've had this for a few years now and I got some decent mileage out of it during the COVID-19 Lockdowns. It was nice to plop my work laptop on its table during WFH and also my iPad when I wanted to watch a show during a quick session. It also has elastic bands for an arm workout!
Check out some of the links below and let me know if it's something you'd be interested in. Sells for $300 retail but I'm thinking it's more realistic to sell it ~$150. lmk!

Walked out the house to 20° weather. Not. Built. For this.

I heard they refused to sell it to Vcuhs health because they wanted that discount on the drugs not to help the poor people

And often the places that do have that public-private thing, even if common around the world, is a LOT more deeper than at first seems.
In Europe there is a LOT more regulations and things that they put on those partnerships than they do in america. As a result they run better. In america, we seem to be very adverse to the idea of regulations. And even that ignores the fact that no matter if its common in europe or not, when the government does it by itself without the partnership, it often does BETTEr and costs the people less in taxes.
So my point still stands. The democrats in america don't like to do things as well as they do in europe.
There is a really good video that discuesses this exact problem. Search up "how privatisation fails railways" on youtube. A channel by the name of Shaun discusses the issues with privitization and how it just doesn't work as well even with the partnerships.

I used to work there. They cut our benefits and our $0 copay prescription copay due to “high costs” and the “pandemic”

I don’t need to preface my comment to remind people of generalities of world politics in a Richmond Virginia subreddit. Especially when someone else just educated you that this is just as common if not standard around the world.
Maybe you just made assumptions about something you don’t know as much about as you thought you did?

Technically that doesn't matter really. You can be a liberal who takes on a lot of conservative viewpoints. The overtone windows is really skewed to the right in america, so MANY liberals are more centrist than in other counties.
Democrats in america is just slightly moderate right wing people in the rest of the world. Bernie Sanders is even a centrist in the rest of the world. But in america he is considered a lefist. So...yeah, your point isn't as valid as you seem to think. Still a point to keep in mind, but...yeah

At first, I thought this was Coalition Theater. I thought that was odd, but now I’m thinking that Bon Secours has enough to pitch some money towards the arts.

If too much pressure is put on them, they may abandon the location and no way will HCA move in over there. They need to be accountable but they also need to break-even across the areas they serve. Simplistic health comparisons of Windsor Farms residents vs. those in Fairfield isn’t going to solve this - those with more disposable income are going to spend more on healthcare (and everything else for that matter).

Was MOH in a wedding this weekend - had a blast but my bank account does not agree (turns out a lot of money goes into wedding season!) Another wedding tomorrow, then one next Sunday and I’m packing up the dresses and heels indefinitely.
Really looking forward to doing NOTHING on Friday. I need a day to myself.
