And had a history of seemingly negligent behavior.

The treatments are generally cash-only and cost $400-600 per treatment. It's frustrating that you must pay so much for a $10 street drug.

Edit: Apparently $20-25 is a more realistic price. Point stands: street drug is cheap; treatment is expensive.

They may start to get it when they can no longer afford essentials. Until then, bigotry will blind them to the ongoing wage and asset theft.

Wikipedia has become my preferred complement to the two or three simple sentences on the placard.

Food prices are up 1/3, putting pressure on the entire lower half of global society, but at least the market for pink baubles is healthy.

> rice was up by 30 percent

Bangladeshi GDP is $2700 per capita. Their primary calorie source costs 1/3 more. This is significant and relevant news.

It's the latter. People are not changed. The coverage of them has.

We finally see all of the best and worst and absurd that people do.

He was fine.

> "I couldn’t believe it. He was walking down the beach, he had an umbrella, his glasses and he had a COVID mask on still," his sister, Brittney Crumpton, told KARK.

> It's still not clear how McCourt got to Texas or why he left his home.

Without that, this isn't much of a story. Just another headline for ad clicks that isn't 'news' at all.

The investment banks are the real winners. They get paid to structure the transaction and on the gains. They are incentivized to hype and mislead.

My favorite quotes are from teachers: “Back in my day, we never had kids with x, y, or z.” Because we weren’t evaluating them for those things.

OP, if you do this, make sure a lawyer creates insulation between you and the billboard contract. If they paid for that billboard, they're going to work to discover who paid for its criticism.

You are describing the impact of anything not rooted in defensible truth. Nonsense has been the blight of the modern world since the dawn or critical thought. That’s ~2500 years of struggle between thinking and following.

Edit: Writing appears 3500-3000 BCE, but the first writings about reasoning/critical thought don't appear until ~500 BCE. There is no actual evidence of conflict between reasoning and believing prior to then, and that's a long period of writing without a single mention. Before the early Greek thinkers, there doesn't appear to have been much. Knowledge was scarce and reason even more so. And after the decline of Classical civilization, it was almost completely lost to the 'West' for centuries until the Greek texts were rediscovered by the Arabs. Had they not done so, many might have been lost forever.

If we had a functioning legislature and judiciary, it already would be.

It's absolutely absurd that the state can confer different levels of access to essential end of life care.

We are entering a period of unprecedented death. The trade press actually calls it "The Golden Age of Death", and we are going to wish we had these policies in place before we end up in the middle of it.

All of those publicly funded research papers should be available without paywalls too.

I have never met an actual toddler who spoke as described in the article.

My kids have computer class in jr high. Last week they were handed a printout of an html page to display a table.

They typed the text from the page into their chromebooks. The teacher gave no context, didn’t explain what html is or what it’s for, didn’t even tell them what it stood for.

Even when we do try to teach them modern things, we do it so poorly and with such unqualified instruction that the time is effectively wasted.

Nixon should never have gone to China.

And maybe even inventing new ones.

But this was always going to happen, predicated on events already in motion.

High gdp per capita countries have also experienced a divergence of asset and income inflation, which may contribute to a general malaise among young people who see their prospects reduced compared to generations ahead of them. Combine that with an education that has not evolved much despite the economy and technology evolving substantially…

At least we are finding significant differences to drive further research and testing. That’s usually how it begins.

I have to believe there are longitudinal studies that measure aspects of happiness over much longer periods. We’ve been studying youth depression for decades, surely there is more research already.

> Although the cause is still uncertain, the result starved the Earth's oceans of oxygen for nearly half a million years, causing the extinction of approximately 27 percent of marine invertebrates, including certain planktic and benthic foraminifera, mollusks, bivalves, dinoflagellates and calcareous nannofossils.[16] The global environmental disturbance that resulted in these conditions increased atmospheric and oceanic temperatures.

Vote by mail and mandatory registration ensures that everyone can vote easily. We know it works; it’s just that a certain powerful group prevents it because the actual will of the people prevents them from getting elected.

All transmissions would be encrypted, so you wouldn’t learn anything intercepting the traffic. But you sure could learn the frequencies and how to disrupt them.
