Genuine question, what is the government actually *for* anymore

I've seen some posts; some in good faith, others not, mostly on Twitter; about whether 'universal healthcare' can exist without single-payer. Here's a very long thread about it:
Exciting and terrifying personal news: I am leaving my job at the end of the month to pursue a full-time voice over and performance career. Something I've dreamed of doing for years and it's finally time to make the leap.
Rest in peace Wendell Berry, whose manifesto has been pinned to my wall in some form since I was in high school
re: everyone yelling about Google Maps - Maps just ingests the official data source for each country, which is GNIS in this case, and most other online maps will follow for American users nobody at Google is making an active decision to go in and change names in Maps directly
Colin McMillen@mcmillen.dev · last wk.[taps the sign] According to USGS GNIS "Per Secretarial Order 3453, Lake Ontario has been renamed to Lake America. The basemaps for GNIS are in the process of being updated." So Google (& Apple, OpenStreetMap, & everyone else who ingests GNIS) will start calling it Lake America within a few weeks.
This is a machine to ethnically cleanse the country - and anyone who pretends otherwise is kidding themselves
You are also too white, black, brown, male, female, or the wrong kind of any of that, etc etc. If you havent done the reading you represent how shallow and driven by hype/fashion/emotion it is and if you have you show how insular and academic and ideological it is. Repeat for a few centuries.
Grozz@grozz.bsky.social · 2w agothere are no 'correct' grounds for being a socialist to people with a vested interest in defending the capitalist order. if you're poor, you're lazy. if you're middle class, you're envious. if you're wealthy, you're hypocritical. it's all a goalpost-moving shell game.

Budget cuts and the rising costs of graphics cards have really started to affect Minneapolis, and as a consequence city officials have turned the draw distance down

🧵 A few thoughts on the geography of #SaintPaul 's shifting homeless encampments. The Fish Hatchery camp that Mayor Her forcibly cleared this week was on some of the most isolated land in the city, over 2 miles from downtown StP, surrounded by RRs, river, highways, & cliffs.
If you are a lawyer barred in Minnesota, I will personally sponsor your admission to the District Minnesota (you need one other person as well) and teach you how to do habeas cases. It's going to be all hands on deck.

Every description here of the allegations is just doing the "so it's illegal to make plans with friends" tweet
David Brauer@dbrauer.net · last mo.Strib’s Rochelle Olson gives a full-throated defense of Kaohly Her, based on Olson’s suspicion of the St. Paul PD’s motivations. There’s some there there, but I wouldn’t term the Her allegations a “whisper campaign,” since a lot of the evidence is out in the open. www.startribune.com/st-paul-mayo...
If you say “God is in His Heaven, all is right with the World” your comphet is showing THE END
Based on the overwhelming consensus that I’ve heard in both public feedback and private conversations from government officials, service providers, encampment residents, and public health experts, I do not believe we are prepared to responsibly close the encampments beginning tomorrow.
