They hire ex-cop contractor buddies and give them gobs of municipal money to do a ‘training’ session where they brainwash the entire force into thinking that they’re at war with an insurgency as dangerous to them as alqueda was to the military that so many of them came from.
This is one of the reasons they’re so trigger happy. Right from academy they’re taught this, and any recruits who question it get dropped. One of the more famous programs is literally called ‘Kill-ology’.
One of the missing pieces that was mentioned by someone else is the purchase of residential properties by businesses being at all time highs.
WFH is efficient and makes sense in many cases. Private equity firms buying homes and holding them to sweat out the market far beyond what a solo landlord could or would, does not.
Ty for calling out the non-sense. Somehow accusing Democrats of also being on the take is considered outlandish.
Theyve got us fighting over scraps (abortion, marriage, the right to express ourselves and love who we want) but they are in full agreement on where most of the tax dollars go (MIC, contracting companies of powerful friends, subsidies for factory farms).
Gonna have to wake up the dormant Sheeple.

if you create a situation where the cop does not feel safe
You reach for your license ‘too fast’ - cop does not feel safe Acorn falls on car - cop doesn’t feel safe You are boiling water at home - cop does not feel safe You are writhing in pain underneath their boot - cop does not feel safe
US cops are literally brainwashed into feeling like the public is a threat to them. They are wired to look for a reason to escalate.
In the US, unlike most other countries, medical doctors are most at risk for suicide.
The book ‘Determined’ makes a great point on how schizophrenia victims have been mistreated throughout history.
Size matters in all these cases. To your point, size matters in long distance running, which is the crux of the articles message.
If you think size doesn’t matter when you’re bow hunting, you probably haven’t taught someone with a significant size difference how to draw a bow.
I read somewhere that one of the effects is abstention from treatment. Essentially the idea that, sometimes, to do nothing is better than blasting the body with macro doses of foreign chemicals. This seems to be the case here.
Ahh yes, the freedom loving state. Texas. That’s right.
As much as I’m against parasitic practices, I wonder how the inevitable corruption of money would (further) skew research if academia was well paid for their papers.
Yeah I feel you. To echo your last sentence, there’s that old study of money leading to increased happiness but only up to a certain point (I think it was like 75k USD pre-covid)

To add to this, there’s been evidence that as an individual accrues more wealth, their empathy response lessens over time.
My arm chair psychologist hypothesis is that: as the individual sees their quality of life increase, they look at other human beings in deplorable conditions, and their empathy response atrophies in order to avoid cognitive dissonance.
There’s a concept in the study of wealthy individuals which goes over their desire to hide impoverishment from their view.
I agree, it’s an oversimplification. The Democratic party has become the party of ‘going back to business as usual’ and refuses to lower it’s commitment to the corporations that fund it. Trump won 2016 because he was a genuine establishment shaker.
Leftists need a rouge candidate who refuses to bow. Someone who shows promise of CHANGE and not business as usual.
