So, the real elephant in the room is that for the average worker, they are more productive (ie, working much harder) and under much, much more financial stress... which effects epigenetics

and... people are having children later in life, leading to children with more genetic defects (the average person has about 7 genetic defects, some people have more, some fewer)

in the 1950s, a man could work at a factory with a high school diploma, own a house, support a family, and have a wife as a full-time assistant at home

now both parents have to work, if there even are children, there may or may not be a house, and many are just single. people are under huge amounts of stress, and all of it effects epigenetics including via weaker bonds within families

bodies interpret stress as either "uh oh, i'm going to get kicked out of my tribe and will have to forage and hunt on my own and may die" or "there may be a famine soon"

the fact that the vitamin levels of food has gone down is a real thing, bodies remember things like that, and can be aware of the decrease, and start to prepare for famines

TLDR captialism without proper government regulation of externalities is making people fat along with higher populations and decreased vitamin levels in food due to over-farming

brutal but accurate

It's funny that the CEO of this company was killed because UnitedHealth are a bunch of lying assholes who deceive people with promises of coverage, then don't deliver, and they angered the wrong dude...

and now in response UnitedHealth are broadening their deceit with fradulent DMCA takedown notices.

They think more deception is the answer, because they don't know anything else.

Someone should contact the judge who approved the class action settlement and let him or her know Equifax is putting up barriers to collect the settlement and the company should be held in contempt, with consumers allowed to opt out of the class and sue individually to collect.

Many victims of Equifax's cheap and negligent security practices resulting in a huge data breach already are giving up on getting paid and will likely not go back.

Problems with consumers getting this small amount owed as class members or onorous data collection requirement amounts from a company shown to be terrible with cybersecurity should result in severe consequences or else it shows the judge doesn't actually care about the class members and is doing a bad job protecting them. Of course, that's only if the judge becomes aware of the problem.

This post really rings true. This is the small rumbling before the big quake.

The reason everyone is offering condolences and claiming this is bad is because the government is supposed to have a monopoly on violence, and that offers protection to the elite in society. Even on radical left lemmy, you can be banned for implying this is a good thing.

This person was at the top of a pyramid that lied to and deceived millions of people and made life absolute hell for people undergoing medical problems. He was responsible for that misery. He created hell on earth for those people. He was not that different than a mass-murderer, knowing full well what his policies would do, only his actions were legal.

His company delayed, denied, and defended, and the assailant had an answer to deny and an answer to defend but there was no delay, just a quick deposing of this guy. It was obviously symbolic.

It's funny because the founding fathers of the US had enough of the bullshit from England and so they decided to rebel and used violence to create a New Republic... but their violence made them patriots and heroes. It's just interesting... I haven't seen 1 person call the assailant a hero yet. It's not like the Founding Fathers of the US used rhetoric and voting to persuade England to stop its brutality.

I bet a lot of people are secretly thinking that assailant is a hero. (In accordance with lemmy's policies, I am not saying he is a hero and instead am saying the assailant is very bad and violence is always bad.)

But we're in such gilded-age end-times right now that the corporate media always parrot the idea that violence is always bad... (with the implied part being the government, backing the elite oligarchy, is the exception) and the populace has internalized that thinking out of fear.

We have democracy in this country and should vote in leaders that actually make legislation that is sensible, but it's impossible because the bottom 40 percent of society are brain-washed by religious delusions that the elite thrust upon them in order to make them easier to control. The problems in society are caused by religion and it's just impossible to make the stupidest bottom 40 percent of people stop believing in bullshit.

The elite have given people a choice: gun rights and policies for the rich... or no guns and policies for the poor. There is no middle class pro-gun party and it's by design. We need to have liberals start embracing the NRA because any gun regulation seems toxic to middle America, and for good reason. To anyone who say the Democrats are not an anti-gun party, you're lying and everyone can see through it. Any gun regulation is a slow decent to zero guns for regular people, and working class middle America knows it, which is part of why we keep ending up with these horrible leaders allowing health care in the US to descend into an abyss.

Me months ago: "the NRA matters and feminism matters and the solution is making sure women have more and larger guns and better tactical training."

Everyone back then was like "no guns are bad!" and now suddenly, look who is seeing the light.

Trans people should not be armed. Trans people should be given vouchers to buy large amounts of weapons so they can be HEAVILY armed and also should be given subsidized weapons training by the government.

When I meet a trans women, I want to admire her dress and know she has excellent tactical training.

We need to stop seeing gun rights as a left or right issue and appreciate the fact that guns are anti-tyranny. The left's constant anti-stance alienates a huge number of working class people as well. The problem with any sort of "reasonable restrictions" is the government always wants more, more regulation, more rules, and little by little it gets harder for the average guy or gal or intersex person. Liberals need to stop alienating middle America with this anti-gun stuff so we can protect trans people.

oh he knows.

I've missed extremely discounted sales for services I like and have been frustrated about it before. It seems fine for protonvpn to do this just once but the should also just add a toggle.
