I reread the article, I reckon it's about satellites in general deorbiting faster to avoid a Kessler syndrome scenario

Sean Elvidge at the University of Birmingham, UK, says this effect could benefit satellite operators like SpaceX by removing dead satellites from orbit more quickly that could otherwise pose a danger to other satellites. “It’s speeding up that process,” he says. However, it could limit our ability to operate satellites in orbits below 400 kilometres, known as very low Earth orbit. “It shows that could be challenging,” he says.

this is beneficial to SpaceX as it means the end of life satellites will re-enter faster, getting them out of the way for their replacements

They can deorbit them at any time though?

Nah, it's pretty crap compared to say, Cuba

For context the Chinese healthcare system is basically run on neoliberal brainworms (except competently).

You'd rip out the entire system instead of doing these little top up fixes to expand access and coverage.

We did that before too.

Although the US is going pretty hard on trying to undo what weak protections already existed, and flint didn't have clean water for at least a decade (to name the most notable example). remarkable country to have such a sustained decline in life expectancy

is a Presidential system

Just last year they got the last one to drop out on the threat of removal while in office. An advantage of running 80 year old candidates

The US also transferred weapons from Libya to the Middle East - there's a public DIA memo warning that it would create an ISIS

The longitudinal data doesn't really suggest significant impacts (beyond mental health diagnosis, which is also contributed to by diagnostic creep and greater accessibility and acceptability)

Social media and the algorithm are awful but at least we're not still covering everything in leaded gasoline residue
