Introduction

This week's episode is about carceral sanism and recent expansions of involuntary hospitalization in New York that seek to paint policy for removing poor people from public spaces, this compassionate and ethical moral mission. According to the CDC's numbers, which we assume are incomplete due to the delayed reporting over the holidays, 10,822 people died in the United States in December alone. And as we talked about in our episode, COVID- year three, we are still really, really in the dark when it comes to reliable case numbers. The UK and Canada also just had their deadliest year in 2022.
