The thing is, these corporations had choices allalong the way...Iassume they have donation departments where they "do good" and use it as wroite off, but imagine if they did good all along?
Imagine if they supported the roads they use andotherinfrasturcture., beyond the taxes they payday to day?
The corporate taxrates in the 1950's helped bnuild the interstats road system among other things.

A small act of kindness may soon be forgotten by the person who acts, but it's long remembered by the person who recieves it.
Well done.
#Quotes #Reading #Fiction #Empathy #BarbaraKingsolver
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life. -Barbara Kingsolver, novelist, essayist, and poet (b. 8 Apr 1955)

"I could not remember when the lines above Atticus’s moving finger separated into words, but I had stared at them all the evenings in my memory, listening to the news of the day, Bills to Be Enacted into Laws, the diaries of Lorenzo Dow—anything Atticus happened to be reading when I crawled into his lap every night. Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." Scout, To Kill A Mockingbird

It's like that old saying "Everyone complains about the weather, but no one ever DOES anything about it."
When Hands Helping Paws Project was being incubated (before it was born) there was a core idea of what we wanted to be and do:
Help responsible pet owners with unexpected cost of care for their pets.
Today we will be asking for you to help us do just that and do it for a pet owner who is the most-deserving we have helped.
Gort’s story - Gort is now a 6 month old, 13c pound French Bulldog who has had a very rough start. Gort was born with a cleft palate which meant he could not nurse. But instead of looking for help when he was born his less then responsible breeder let him languish for 3 days - getting no nutrition.
In comes Amy, Gort’s mom. Amy has had him since he was 3 days old - and he weighed JUST 6 ounces when he arrived. He only survived because of the excellent care provided by Amy and her vet. Gort was tube-fed every 2 hours for months. You see cleft palate puppies cannot be bottle fed - they go from extended tube feeding to hard food - so they must be at least 5 weeks old and have teeth.
Shortly after Gort came to Amy they realized he is also hydrocephalic which means he has to be on a cocktail of medications and watched very closely.
That's 2 strikes - but not the end. Strike 3 is that Gort was BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome), This means he literally cannot breathe properly. At times he needs to be put on oxygen to keep him alive!
Strike 3 is why we are here. Gort desperately needs a surgery to cut his elongated palate and Laryngeal saccules as well as widen his nostrils. The hydrocephalus exacerbates the breathing problems.
Gort struggles with breathing at times and will only get worse as the weather gets warmer.
This surgery must be done by an experienced specialist and due to Gort’s complex medical situation will most definitely be at the high end of the $6500.00-$8500.00 range.

I know it's a big ask to be hopeful about white people in this case, but I am hopeful we/they will come out in force, even the republicans, to end this disaster.
It's past time we stood up for whats right. I know many conservatives will NEVER vote for democrats, but some center right and center and independants sure might.
Like you, I remain hopeful and ever thankful I live in a BLUE Connecticut.

#Doctors #Patients #RulesYouNeedToKnow
I found this useful, especially with a new doctor or office APRN.
How to be a patient:
- Go in with a Plan or Key Talking Points
Be prepared with specific topics or questions you want to discuss with your doctor to gain clarity within your appointment time. 2. Research Before the Visit
Gather information about your condition or symptoms before seeing your doctor, so you're prepared to discuss and ask informed questions. 3. Use Reputable Sources for Research
Look for information on well-respected sites like The Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Harvard Health, or Johns Hopkins University. 4. Use Google Wisely
Navigate information online by sticking to credible sources and avoiding misinformation. 5. Determine Your Information Needs
Know what you want to achieve from the visit and what you want to get out of your healthcare, and steer the conversation accordingly. 6. Connect with Others with the Same Condition
Join support groups or follow social media accounts to gain insights from others with your specific diagnosis. 7. Take Specific Questions or Concerns to Your Doctor
Have a concise list of targeted questions or concerns to make the most out of your appointment. 8. Consider Finding a New Doctor if Needed
Don’t settle for a healthcare provider who dismisses your concerns or fails to consider your opinions. 9. Be an Active Participant in Your Healthcare
Engage in research, planning, and effective communication to have a more personalized and satisfying healthcare experience.
