@AccessUc on urgency of Universal Online Access: "Online accessibility is crucial now at a time when UC has increased barriers to accessibility in general as well having dropped mask mandates, refused to renovate old building HVAC to MERV-13 or above and phased out PCR testing"
Student workers have proposed a revolutionary "Access Needs" article, which builds on and strengthens the language of the existing “Reasonable Accommodations” article in the previous UAW 2865 contract. docs.google.com/document/d/e/2…

"Rising Medicare premiums often take a significant bite out of COLAs; the premium for Part B (which covers outpatient services, like doctors’ visits) typically is deducted from Social Security benefits. Large increases in Part B can sharply reduce, or even eliminate, a COLA."
"But next year, most experts expect the standard Part B premium to rise very modestly, or even stay flat at the current $170.10 per month.
Medicare officials have signaled that any premium increase would be modest because of the unusual circumstances surrounding Aduhelm,"

For the second time in recent years, my monthly #SocialSecurity benefit has gone DOWN because the premium for #Medicare has gone UP more than the #COLA adjustment to the cash benefit. SS isn’t an “entitlement”, it’s insurance into which I paid a fortune. Any insurance policy
which doesn’t adjust for inflation in all of its elements (including healthcare inflation, which has ALWAYS run ahead of ordinary inflation), is poorly designed and needs fixing.
#UniversalHealthcare would literally solve the problems of funding for #MediCare overnight.

#Congress, please strengthen and expand #ObamaCare in such a way the people who are on fixed income do not see their #COLA increases entirely eaten up by #Medicare expenses!

Zimt (1/11) - Zimt enthält generell Cumarin, was gesundheitsschädlich ist. Ceylon-Zimt enthält jedoch nur kleine Mengen an Cumarin, die gesundheitlich unbedenklich sind. Bei Cassia-Zimt ist die Cumarin-Menge kritischer. #Zimt #Zimtstern #Weihnachten #Cola 
Zimt (2/11) - Eine zu hohe verzehrte Menge an Cumarin kann zu Leberschäden führen. Extrem hohe Cumarin-Mengen führen bei Nagetieren auch zu Krebs. Dies scheint für den Menschen aber nicht relevant sein --> Leberschaden ja, Krebs nein.
Zimt (3/11) - Cassia-Zimt enthält durchschnittlich 3 g Cumarin pro kg Zimt. Spitzenwerte liegen bei 10 g Cumarin pro kg Cassia-Zimt. In kommerziell erhältlichen Zimtsternen wurden schon bis über 100 mg pro kg Lebensmittel gemessen.
working on my chapter on the angela davis case, so thought it'd be worth mentioning this again:
davis was a grad student at UCSD when hired as a prof at UCLA in '69. she kept her san diego apartment & rented what she described as a "6-room" apartment in LA. each cost $75/mo 1/x
davis was a grad student at UCSD when hired as a prof at UCLA in '69. she kept her san diego apartment & rented what she described as a "6-room" apartment in LA. each cost $75/mo 1/x
her salary at UCLA was $10,260/year, which came to $863/mo before deductions, plus a supplemental 2/9 of her salary for a research grant. that's an extra $1,140 during each summer month. deducting state and fed income taxes and $8/mo for health care, comes to around $620/mo.
even if davis hadn't eventually subletted her SD apartment to her sister, the $150/mo she paid to rent two substantial apartments in two major cities still did not put her at rent burden. it also meant that she was able regularly to travel between those two cities to organize.
