How is this denial, bullying and negative feedback any different than denying an election loss? Bullying is headstrong lack of empathy and singular sense of rightness. No difference between the two extremes.

For-profit care homes being reward for providing less care at higher cost, says seniors advocate

For-profit long-term care facilities are making record profits from publicly funded beds but providing fewer care hours than non-profits, says Isobel McKenzie

What few people know, is that Gurner’s view of the economy in general, and unemployment in particular, was debunked by economist Michael Kalecki in 1943.

“Michal Kalecki argued that government spending could ensure a permanent economic boom with both low employment and increased business profits. Crucially, however, Kalecki predicted that business executives would hate having what everyone else sees as a good economy, because it would allow regular people to be less subservient to them. For the business class, no amount of money can replace the daily joy of watching your inferiors grovel when in your presence.”

imagine that… obesity tracked to processed food, specifically chemicals added to increase appetite and therefore increase sales and profit.

Scientists find two big contributors to obesity

https://knowridge.com/2023/08/scientists-find-two-big-contributors-to-obesity/

Since 1975, the number of obese individuals worldwide has almost tripled. This alarming statistic from the World Health Organization (WHO) raises questions about the causes. Over the years, people have pointed fingers at different culprits: our love for fatty foods, our increasing carb consumption, over-processed foods, and even our sedentary lifestyles. The answer is far more sinister.

There’s been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them as opposed to the other way around. So it’s a dynamic that has to change.

Oil refineries are a crucial weak link for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing refinery capacity makes drilling less profitable AND makes fuel more expensive.
