  • Air Conditioning in Long-Term Care Saves Lives

    02:01|
    New research reveals that Ontarios policy of requiring air conditioning in all long-term care resident rooms has saved numerous lives. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that this change prevented dozens of deaths, highlighting air conditioning as an essential health need. The two-year study showed that residents without air conditioning had an eight percent higher mortality rate on hot days. The policy averted thirty-three deaths between 2020 and 2023, with the actual number of deaths being three hundred eight instead of three hundred forty-one. The province mandated air conditioning in all homes by 2022, with all homes now complying, except for two. This investment has proven its worth, potentially serving as a model for other provinces amidst increasing extreme heat events due to climate change.

  • Dynamic Pricing in Grocery Stores: A New Reality

    01:52|
    Dynamic Pricing in Grocery Stores: A New Era of Unpredictable Food Costs This podcast episode delves into the emerging trend of dynamic pricing in grocery stores, a concept previously reserved for industries like airlines and hotels. With the advent of digital shelf labels, stores can now adjust prices in real-time, leading to potential fluctuations in the cost of essential items like milk and bread. A study in a Seattle grocery store found that the same basket of groceries could cost anywhere from $114 to $124, potentially adding up to an extra $1,200 a year for families. This unpredictability raises concerns about fairness and trust, as shoppers may feel compared against each other rather than simply comparing different stores. Grocery platforms argue these are small tests, but the lack of transparency and the use of algorithms to set prices based on past purchases and location can make the process seem exploitative.
