A list of puns related to "Healthcare Proxy"
were we ever explicitly told who meredith's healthcare proxy was before alex? by default i would assume derek, but a part of me wonders if she would have put cristina down for reasons similar to why she wanted cristina in the delivery room with her even though derek was already going to be there (not to mention, cristina was meredith's person, a term which, if i recall correctly, cristina first used when telling meredith that she put meredith down as her emergency contact with the abortion clinic)
This should be a real simple one, but Google didn’t give me a definitive answer. I’m considering naming my uncle my healthcare proxy because I don’t trust my mother to make decisions for me if I’m somehow incapacitated. However, I’m still on my parents’ health insurance plan, so would that complicate things? I’m 21 years old and in Missouri. My uncle is in Georgia.
Thank you!

... keep reading on reddit ➡I live in New York. After 35 years of working for the Four Seasons NYC Hotel, he developed cancer in September of 2018.
He was on union healthcare insurance and they told him because he was unable to work that he would have to pay $2000 a month in out of pocket costs despite having paid hundreds a month for +35 years.
At the time of his death he had over 60,000 in his personal bank account, and he knew that I would have helped pay for his treatments if he had told me. Money was not an issue: even at the (ridiculous) cost that they told him it would take, he had enough money for +2 years of treatment. He had excellent credit and could have also taken out loans.
Somehow his shift manager was put in charge of his healthcare, removed him from the union healthcare insurance and the family was never consulted or informed about this.
He was not in the correct frame of mind while these decisions were made. He and my mother were separated (but not divorced) at the time so I understand why she was out of the loop, but I had an excellent relationship with him and we were communicating up until he was put on Medicare in 2019, where he rapidly deteriorated and was dead by July. Prior to being put on Medicare he was going to the gym regularly to maintain his health during his treatments.
He opted to not to tell me because I had previously taken care of both of two cancer patients in my life already (one was his best friend - hence why we had an excellent relationship in spite of his separation with my mom), and he did not want me to go through it a third time with him.
I contacted multiple lawyers in 2020 but did not hear back because of COVID; so now I am contacting Reddit to see if any amount of justice can be done.
What are our options? This is pretty fucked, but I am not sure it was illegal or not; but if it was, I want to deal with this before the stature of limitations expire.
My daughter is 17 years old and fully disabled. She relies on mom and me for everything. She is also nonverbal. As she approaches 18 we are not sure if we need to pursue guardianship or just get a POA and healthcare proxy set up.
Located in Pennsylvania.
Any thoughts on this?

I apologize in advance for bringing you into my redneck family drama. This is in NY. Please forgive any lack of detail, I'm trying to piece together what my mother has told me.
To make a very long story short:
First:
My dying Uncle made my cousin his POA/Healthcare Proxy. She's fed up with family drama and just flew back home across the country saying she's done. He has five other children, three ex-wives (the most recent divorce was last year), and four sisters. Is there a default Proxy/POA in the absence of a designated one or when the designated one refuses? Will they have to have a court establish one (he doesn't have a lot of conscious periods anymore and probably won't make it through this weekend)?
Second:
His second ex-wife moved in with him about a month or two ago. I don't know how lucid he was at the time, but apparently he signed an agreement with her to live with him. He's no longer lucid. He rents. I don't know whether his lease allows subletting. They have not rekindled a romantic relationship and stay in separate rooms. Assuming the lease does not allow subletting, is she a legal tenant having been some form of relative in the past? Does the divorce and lack of relationship change a definition of whether she's entitled to stay with him? My understanding is he never wanted her there in the first place.
Third:
His second ex-wife is claiming that all of his belongings will become hers at his passing because she lives in that house and because she was married to him longer than his more recent ex-wife. I don't believe there is a will. Even if she is a legal tenant, I'm pretty confident this information is false and it would be distributed in some way among next of kin after debts are paid or something. I'm concerned she's going to start taking some of his belongings, some of which are items that belonged to my grandparents and are meant for my mother and aunts.
Fourth:
His second ex-wife is now denying any visitation by relatives (he has in-home hospice care). Assuming she IS a legal tenant, I imagine she can deny entry into her home. Assuming she's not a legal tenant, what can be done to remove her from his home?
Thank you in advance for your help.
I’m having surgery through the community care program at the end of the month. It’s not a risky surgery by any means but obviously there’s always a chance. With a husband and three little ones, I just want to make sure that all the right paperwork is completed and in order. Can the VA help with this?

I found out that my friend has been using me for things she wants. She has a long ailments of health conditions and a terrible background but lately, she's been using these things as a way for me to bend and feel sorry for her so I could get her whatever she wants.
It started out as basic necessities like food which was fine because I didn't mind bringing her something to eat when she's sick. But lately, I've been so fucking drained by her. She sometimes says stupid comments like, "you should get me this." or shit to make me feel bad like, "how do guys even fall for you?"
I'm not saying I don't feel sorry for her. What she goes through, no one should have to go through at all... One time she asked me if I could get buy her clothes and even other shit on her list that she wants and I turned it down. When I asked her why I should get her these things, she guilted me by saying, "because you love me, right?" I want to think that she does care for me and all... Sometimes I think she does but I need to get out. It's been all about HER lately. I'm only here to spend money on her. She's grown so attached to me that I'm not sure what the fuck to do. I can't even confront her cause she'll only use these things as a trap to get me to feel bad, keep me around as a friend and get fucking upset and cry.
I feel like I need to get out of this. But I'm her healthcare proxy. What should I do?
TLDR: Friend has been using me. But I'm her healthcare proxy. How do I get outof this?
I don't think I've ever had a family member that was someone's HCP who actually stopped to think about what their loved one wanted rather than what they wanted for their loved one. It is so frustrating.
Seriously, mom or dad made you their decision maker so you could make choices that you believe they would make if they were able. NOT so you could deny them pain control so they are more "alert" or keep them alive with feeding tubes and potential CPR at 98 years old. Ugh, it just makes me insane.

Okay... breaking this down as simply and hypothetically as possible:
If a person's legal guardian got them to sign an Irrevocable Power of Attorney in NY when they were 18-19 years old, and they became estranged when they were about 25 and and moved out of state to AZ at 30, and named someone else as both their their Healthcare Proxy (Physical and Mental) and the Executor of their Will, while in AZ, where they currently reside which documents take precedence when? (POA and Proxy both reside in NY, if it matters.)
Presumably, a person's POA cannot overrule the person themselves, but can they overrule the Healthcare Proxy on health related things, or overrule the Executor of the Will in order to take control of the person's estate after their death? Is an "Irrevocable" power of attorney over one's own person even enforceable against the will of the person themselves?
More detail if it matters:
The issue in question regards most importantly the person's final wishes, as the POA contravened their own husband's last wishes by having him cremated against his expressed desire, but also the person wants to ensure that the POA does not inherit their estate, as the nature of their estrangement was that the POA/Guardian had been utilizing the person as a 'cash cow' until their estrangement, both spending the payments from the person's settlement for the injuries in childhood that caused her to become disabled (which they were getting sent to them as POA,) and being suspected of miss allocating the funds recived from their non-parent caregiver grant when the person was a child. The person escaped this situation and had their payments rerouted to themselves directly and has not been in contact with the POA for years. They do not want the POA to be able to show up again after all these years and snipe their estate out from under their Will, but since the person's entered palliative care, the POA has suddenly resurfaced, we believe, in an attempt to solidify their control when the person dies.
As you may have guessed, I'm the Proxy/Executor and have been the former for years before POA resurfaced to remind us that she has this power and am about to be the latter in response to this situation. I do stand to inherent the remainder of her estate after all other considerations in the current will, but with her finances being what they are, there's not likely to be much left after I pay her funeral expenses and such. I
... keep reading on reddit ➡I hope I am in the right sub for this. My wife and I are going away and are having my mother-in-law watch our two children (13 mos old, 2mos old) while we are gone. The 13 month old currently has a bit of a fever so we wanted to grant my MIL as the healthcare proxy in case she has to go to the doctors/hospital. I'm sure the doctor would not turn away an ailing toddler if her parents weren't present, but just in case we want my MIL to have the power of any decisions necessary.
I live in New York. I googled to find relevant information and I came across a NY state healthcare proxy form. This, however, would be used to appoint my healthcare proxy, not my children's. Should I just make amendments to this? Or can this be as simple as typing up a document in Word, stating we want my MIL to have the power, and having it signed by my wife, me, my MIL, (and a witness, if necessary)?
Please advise. Thank you
My mother has mental health issues as well as addiction issues and has recently made me her beneficiary on her life insurance. She is divorcing my stepdad therefore wants to pick a new health care proxy. She told me after the fact and said that I'm responsible for anything that would happen after she dies, such as funeral arrangements. I did not agree to this and do not want any parts, I would prefer she passes this on to her sisters as any money she would get would go to her debts she owes (just about what the life insurance is worth).
Since she is in the middle of a divorce and knows she has many issues (tried to commit suicide last year) she wants to make me her health care proxy "just in case". I am no where near interested, so if paperwork is in order I will obviously decline and deal with that fight when it comes. But I've never been through this so I have no idea if she can just sign me as one, like she did with the life insurance.
If she does can I do something to get out of it? Or do I have to sign paperwork to say I agree? Also, is there any way I can get out of being her beneficiary?
Edit: Forgot to put my location in at first, I'm in Pennsylvania.
My mother lives in Connecticut (USA) and I live in Kentucky (USA). I'm nineteen years old and she is about fifty years old. She dropped the bombshell on me today that she has made me her healthcare proxy--drew up the paperwork and everything without consulting me in any capacity. I know that the odds of me having to deal with this in the near future are not in my favor, given her history of madness and refusal of treatment. She never sought treatment for any of her plethora of issues when I was a kid and quite frankly, I am done. It is one thing to be ill, but it is another entirely to acknowledge it and refuse to get help, despite it being well within our means at the time, because 'oh, my family will take care of me--that's what they're there for'. I'm sick of taking care of her when she won't take care of herself or even pretend to want to and I want out. Is there any way to shed this decision?
My husband is my healthcare proxy and I'm wondering what kinds of things we should discuss before our daughter is born. We've talked about what to do if I end up braindead or with flesh-eating bacteria as well as choosing between me and the baby. But are there other labor-specific topics we should cover?

For everything else...
CAVEAT: Everything I saw was very work-in-progress. Anything could change, especially specific numbers.
KEY: This is a simulation. It's not a map painter. Military conquest is not the main focus. Victoria 3 is more about diplomatic maneuvering, shaping your society and laws, building and industrializing your economy, and "tending the garden" of your nation.
1836 - 1936.
4 ticks per day, so the number of ticks per campaign is similar to EU4.
The map is divided into States and Provinces. There are about 730 States at game start, which are the smallest unit you will interact with for purposes of politics and economics.
It's possible to split existing states, such as when you demand a Treaty Port in a war or Diplomatic Play. This creates a new State that is only one Province in size. Even at game start there are some cases of having more than one State, gameplay-wise, within a single "State Area."
Provinces are subdivisions that you usually only interact with for maneuvering armies and when colonizing (which is done one Province at a time as you add more Provinces to your Colonial State), and there are roughly the same number of individual Provinces as in HoI4. (According to Google, that's around 13,000 - roughly 18 Provinces per State on average.)
Visually, urbanization will spread across individual Provinces within a State.
The pre-alpha map we saw looks better than HoI4 but worse than CK3/Imperator. They did say specifically that it isn't done yet. You can definitely zoom in further than HoI4, so I'd say the map overall feels bigger than the HoI4 map. Zoomed all the way out it looks very similar to the Vicky 2 paper map. Zoomed in you can see realistic clouds and stuff drifting over the landscape. Railroads are visible.
Well over 100 playable countries, but not all countries are playable. Most of Africa, parts of inner South America, and a few surviving native tribes in North America (including the Lakota, Dakota, and Cree) were not playable. These are "Decentralized Countries." Post-launch, they want to make them playable eventually. But they want to do them right because the gameplay experience should be significantly different. All the Decentralized Countries have names and governments. There are no "uncolonized" provin

Really tired of hearing reactionaries on this sub claim that communism or socialism or whatever is the worse thing to ever exist. Lets talk about how much human suffering has been caused and will continue to exist thanks to the malignant nature of capitalism. To begin on a high note:
According to UNICEF, WHO, and other sources: somewhere between 6-10 million children die per year from preventable diseases and malnutrition. Thats at least 60 million every decade or at least 300 million every 50 years. And thats being generous considering how poverty is supposed to have been reducing over the last half century. We have enough food to feed 10 billion people but we dont because its expensive and "inefficient" and disprupts the market.
Great Bengal Famine: killed 10 million of the 30 million overtaxed Bengalis, starved to death.
Opium Wars: millions of Chinese died, struggled with drug addiction and then millions more died when they fought to stop Britain from flooding the Chinese market with opium.
Indian Rebellion of 1857: Uprising against the rule of the British East India Company. Almost 800,00 Indians died from the rebellion as reprisals for the 2,000 British deaths and from famines and epidemics that resulted there after
The Upper Doab Famine of 1860-1861: Up to 2 million people killed by Queen Victoria
The Orissa Famine of 1866: at least 2 million killed under Queen Victorias rule, starving farmers werer forced to export large quantities of rice to Great Britain
The Great Famine of 1876-1878: a famine in India under British rule, per Queen Victoria, which killed an estimated 5.6 million people

I was recently watching a college lecture where the professor prefaced a discussion of game theory with "and the concept of a prisoner's dilemma is one of those things I am confident saying you are not an educated person in any meaningful sense if you have never taken the trouble to understand or learn it. The idea that we can map out the conditions under which cooperators will defect given individual incentives, even despite the fact that the collective incentive can be to cooperate for a higher payoff, is so fundamental to understanding the problems of the 21st century (like Climate Change) that I think it's only fair that we set our bar/expectations for the educated person high enough that they would know this enough to be able to act on it."
This got me thinking: what is your list (or solitary individual entry for what could become a larger list) of things every 21st Century person who likes to think of themselves as having achieved a serious education should know, but probably doesn't? I say "probably doesn't" because a list of what an educated person should know in general would be too long and (for the most part) too obvious for my purposes here (i.e. please don't say something like "the earth orbits the sun"). I also want people to emphasize knowing things that are considered groundbreaking in their respective fields and that may even have a practical or important connection to a larger issue, particularly the larger issues that we will be counting on the "educated (but common) person" to address in this century.
Pick any discipline you want, but try to meet my criteria. Here's mine! (A list like this is bound to sound opinionated and self-congratulatory because it's an attempt to list the things you think you already know but that many others don't, but for the same reason that the "rationalist" community has chosen a vaguely positive adjective for itself, and only aspirationally rather than narcissistically, I want you to put aside the self-conscious worry that you sound self-indulgent and just do your best to outline the greatest ideas an education can impart for someone aspiring to a true education)
These are not in any particular order from most to least important, but more "what occurred to me first," and it is bound to be horribly incomplete or include things it shouldn't--that's where you come in!
Here goes nothing:
My dad is 85 and of incredibly sound mind but in terrible health. The doctors are telling us it’s going to be about 2-3 months. Despite the futility of further treatments, they wanted him to continue with them. Things like an IV in his neck and arm (permanently), dialysis, weekly blood work, physician visits, etc. he said absolutely no. I am an RN and his healthcare proxy. I requested Hospice; which you thought I was asking for a dagger to personally murder my father in front of everyone on hospital grounds. I had to request for them to come in repeatedly and then defend our decision as to why. All the while my dad is (without me anywhere near him) telling all of the doctors that he is refusing all care and he wants to go home and he doesn’t want any more treatment. So now I am bringing him home today. I met with Hospice services yesterday and they were absolutely wonderful and supportive. I told my dad that he is in control and he can plan his own funeral. He seemed really excited about this. The man loves a good party after all. He even wants to write his own obituary. My son in law works for a funeral home and we are all good friends with the funeral directors. So next week we are going to sit down with the funeral director, drink some wine and plan a funeral and write and obituary. I wanted to come here to say that we need to keep taking about what we all want and more importantly fighting for our loved ones so they can have a positive death.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
So whilst going through the Cassandra Report by Nomura, on page 15 when they are calculating an interest rate shock, they reference this OECD article. Please note I copied and pasted the part of the article below but the link should have better formatting.

Box 1.4. Key challenges for the non-financial corporation sector
The COVID-19 pandemic raises three medium-term challenges for the corporate sector: (i) the debt overhang problem, and its consequence for corporate investment; (ii) the financial stability implications of the rapid debt build-up; and (iii) the emergence of so-called “zombies” in the corporate sector. This box discusses them briefly.
Debt overhang and investment
The debt overhang is a key source of concern as high corporate debt tends to reduce investment in the aftermath of economic crises, with negative implications for the recovery (Kalemli-Özcan et al., 2019; Barbiero et al., 2020; Demmou et al., 2021). In the sample of mostly medium-sized and large firms used for the analysis (see the main text), the aggregate level of capital expenditures decreased by almost 7% in fiscal year (FY) 2020 compared to FY 2019, in line with the aggregate business (non-residential) investment slowdown observed in advanced and emerging-market economies (Figure 1.24). Investment in sectors that were hit hard (energy, consumer services and transportation) contracted drastically. In contrast, firms operating in healthcare equipment, utilities, software services, telecommunications and pharmaceuticals expanded capital expenditures.1 On average, a percentage point increase in the equity (asset) leverage ratio between 2019 and 2020 was associated with a 2% (5%) drop in capital expenditures, suggesting that the persistence of a debt build-up strategy will ultimately weigh on investment in the medium term.

... keep reading on reddit ➡FOREWORD: The original got removed on r/badeconomics because they banned R1s about socialism so I'm making an updated version of this debunking on this sub. This is because I'm planning on debunking a series of communist arguments listed here in my next few effortposts.
For reference, here is the original thread containing the image. The fact that the image contained ZERO sources and all dissenting comments asking for sources were deleted shows that critical thinking and evidence-based opinions is extremely important. Although the burden of proof is on the original creator to prove the claims (so that we can discuss it), I'll just link to a variety of sources DISPROVING said claims.
Similar to my other post about the USSR, I will use the available evidence and categorise the claims into "bullshit", "misleading", or "true". Since some of the claims are unverifiable, I will just label it "unverifiable". Note that I will not cover the state of the US economy in this post. This post should be a brief overview of the state of the North Korean economy (and its society as well).
According to the World Bank (via Our World In Data), the unemployment rates from 1990 to 1995 was somewhere between 7% and 8%. After that, the unemployment rate stayed similar and was somewhere near 4.5%. Using the Federal Reserve Economic Database, there is also youth unemployment in North Korea, with ranges from 5.4% to 6.5%.
Since the original post is intended to criticise the United States, let's compare the unemployment rates between these two countries. From this comparison, it can be concluded that although at some times the unemployment rate is similar, the US has significantly higher unemployment rates than North Korea. As for youth unemployment rates, the US has a significantly higher youth unemployment than the DPRK. However, this is not proof that North Korea's economic system is better- Chad has low unemployment rates as well!

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
