today we review some articles. first one is from Medscape, who has seemingly lost the plot with several recent, absolutely bizarre offerings. we also discuss some ‘market activity’ involving health insurance companies and hospitals - don’t you love it when the most important thing is not patient care or health worker wellbeing but stock prices for healthcare capitalist vultures? we round things out with consent manufacture and State management of homeless people with mental illness. the peasants YEARN for reinstitutionalization, thank u Eric Adams!

well, the shootings start comin and they don’t stop comin…
in the wake of the recent mass violence event in Texas, we talk mass shootings - primarily dissecting the active ideological choice State actors make of placing ‘mental health’ at the center of bourgeois discourse regarding gun violence, mass killings, and other phenotypic manifestations of a reactionary resurgence in the US.

we welcome esteemed friend of the pod and M&M’s official Canadian Correspondent Kristel Jax to the show to discuss - in broad terms - concepts, movements, and nascent legal structures encompassing the ‘right to die,’ Medical Assistance In Dying, and (Physician) Assisted Suicide in Canada and the United States. how are today’s moral values embedded in the ways in which we talk (or don’t) about death, let alone the idea of death itself? how do cultural production and the ‘Spectacle-ization’ of medicine shape modern mythologies about end-of-life care? how might economic coercion alter our potentials in life in the most general sense possible? well, it may result in Capital’s most monstrous decoding yet: the commoditization of death.
legislation is on the table for millions upon millions of people in North America in the coming years, and we are still very early into the existing legal frameworks. it’s something we all might have an interest in paying more attention to in the future. special bonus on this episode: intermittent pug noises (if that’s your thing)
