We have increasingly outsourced our decision-making to machine learning models ("the algorithm"). The whole point of building recommendation, sorting, and "decision support" systems on ML is to undertake assessments at superhuman speed and scale. 1/

Mandated checks of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs had a disparate impact on Black patients.
Did prescribing laws disproportionately affect opioid dispensing to Black patients?
PDMP check mandates but not pain management clinic laws appeared to reduce opioid dispensing more in Black patients than White patients.

Trickle-Down Economics | The War on Drugs
Both central to Reagan's legacy
Both ignore science in favor of magical thinking
Both myopically focus on supply, ignoring the demand side
Both have caused profound harms over decades, esp among the most vulnerable

Couldn’t forget to post a pic in green for #MentalHealthDay! Many of the people I love most dearly live with mental health conditions. Brain health should be treated like any other kind of “health”. Paid for. Cared for. Supported! Stop the stigma. There is no more vital organ!
