Goddamnit this keeps happening to me where I reply to someone and they delete their comment.

They said something like “this whole thing is stupid and you should fire your intern you didn’t even use a picture of Maine that’s NH and I’m very smart”

The picture looks uncannily like the foreground of Franconia Notch viewed from Artists Bluff. Except Mt Lafayette is missing in the back. And you can’t see distant water from there. And the road isn’t along the shore of this weird-shaped Echo Lake. And the ski trails at Cannon are somehow missing. I can totally see where someone might get confused.

The profile of the land also looks more vaguely like Crawford Notch viewed from Mt Willard, except it’s absolutely not.

I was genuinely curious where this person thought the picture was taken.

I’ll have to go check it out on MDI! I’ve never really been to the island. Been all around it, but I don’t think I’ve ever actually set foot on the island.

So what’s actually being argued here is that keeping psychiatric patients in emergency rooms is an illegal seizure of the hospital’s resources. Nothing to do with quality of patient care or outcomes, just businesses complaining about costs.

The psychiatric care system in NH isn’t even a joke it’s unsupported to the point of cruelty and malice, but what’s finally going to wiggle the system a little bit is hospitals taking the most business-oriented PR-blind stance to get more money from the state.
