As far as I've read, it's usually because of brain damage, drugs (brain damage), or serious trauma (brain damage).

That's taking the "Job Creators" role to heart.

The "misleading" accusation always gets to me. The plant-based supporters need to come out clearly and point out that the dairy corporations are calling people stupid by claiming that they can't tell the obvious difference.

The stock market is a measure of how much wealth can be stolen from workers and, in the case of insurance, from the insurance policyholders. So the stock price going down means that shareholders expect less of that than before.

The not so petite bourgeoisie.

 

Too many media outlets rush to condemn those campaigning against fossil fuel chaos as “middle class”. Bizarrely, they do not say the same of millionaire land-owners.

 

In short:

  • A $500 annual increase in home insurance premiums correlates with a 20% rise in mortgage delinquencies, based on a study not yet peer-reviewed by New York University researchers.
  • In some counties in Florida, some homeowners report spending over 5% of their income on insurance, said a researcher.
  • Higher reinsurance costs, severe weather and climate-driven disasters have caused insurance companies to raise premiums, with some homeowners opting to pay off mortgages early or forego insurance entirely.
  • In fact, a report published last August noted that last year, 30% of losses from natural disasters went uninsured.

Key quote:

“This is how many people across the country are beginning to directly experience how climate change is changing our world and the cost it’s going to have.”

Women in Iran could face the death sentence or up to 15 years in prison if they defy new compulsory morality laws due to come into effect this week.

New laws promoting the “culture of chastity and hijab” passed by the Iranian authorities earlier this month impose severe penalties for those caught “promoting nudity, indecency, unveiling or improper dressing”, including fines of up to £12,500, flogging and prison sentences ranging from five to 15 years for repeat offenders.

Article 37 of the new law also stipulates that those promoting or propagating indecency, unveiling or “bad dressing” to foreign entities, including international media and civil society organisations, could face a decade in prison and up to £12,500 in fines.
