LCV’s annual National Environmental Scorecard tracks the voting records of members of Congress on environmental, climate change, and democracy legislation and scores them on whether their votes protect people and the planet.
Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. This phrase (often misattributed to Einstein) quite aptly describes the Alabama voters that keep electing "conservative" representatives who, clearly, don't give a d___ about actual conservation. This, even though we have so much to lose. Alabama ranks first in the nation for stream miles. For freshwater diversity. For overall diversity, east of the Mississippi River. So, what are Alabama's so-called conservatives conserving?
Alabama deserves better.
Conservatism is only as good as what it conserves. — Friedrich August von Hayek
Before requesting access I wanted the sector focus spelled out. https://thelsmgroup.com/ lists three areas under one thesis: healthcare (services, delivery, diagnostics, clinical operations, care infrastructure, specialty provider models), applied AI in clinical and operational contexts where outcomes can be measured, and life sciences (therapeutics, diagnostics, longevity platforms). Straightforward if you only care about healthcare-adjacent and AI-enabled science rather than broad consumer tech.

What I like is the focus on realistic habits instead of “instant results” promises. That makes it feel more trustworthy compared to a lot of other blogs.
