I imagine that most who read this Substack already have a sense of urgency about what is going on in the world now, and about the need to address it by creating alternatives.
But sometimes a specific example of the wider crisis just jumps out at me - as this did, from Mark Crispin Miller (who I highly recommend subscribing to.)
Writes Mark:
“This “ambulance crisis” didn’t start with the injections—it was already making some news, here and there, pre-2020—but it’s been made much worse, all around the world, by “vaccination,” as these pieces demonstrate (and there are many more than these):”
He goes on to catalogue reports from all over the world, from Scotland to China, Canada and the US, of outrageous - and life-endangering - delays in ambulance services.
And maybe this caught my attention because it’s something that hasn’t specifically been on my radar as I think about rebuilding healthcare in particular. But of course it should be.
There are so many pieces to this puzzle, so many parts of our world that are falling apart in front of our eyes. It can be overwhelming to think about, and I suspect I’m not the only one who falls into the trap of thinking that I need to find a way to fix ALL of this. All by myself.
But of course I don’t. There are a lot of us out there. And each of us working on our little corner of the puzzle - and with the help of others of us - is how this gets fixed. That’s why I started my podcast, my private Substack “Building Parallel Solutions”, and my new membership group: So that those of us who are working on this puzzle (or who want to be working on it, but maybe don’t know where to start) can connect with each other, learn from each other, compare notes, share ideas, and maybe in some cases collaborate with each other.
This is how we rebuild. From a shortage of ambulances, to hospital closures and authoritarian healthcare systems, food shortages, dystopian education systems, and a currency on the edge of collapse… the way we rebuild all of this is that we start by getting together, sharing what we know, and getting on the path of learning what we need to learn. And then building.
Welcome aboard!
