Well the people who’s primary income that comes from their labor sees their wages stay the same while the rising assets take more of their income in the form of rents or the cost to actually buy things like property. That is until they can’t afford to buy necessities at all and completely abandon that economy. Those pressures exist both on individuals and new productive enterprises.

Monetary policy, interest rates, asset inflation, and stagflation all are directly linked. The Fed isn’t alone in causing this disconnect, which I acknowledged by noting previous administration policy, but the interest rates and quantitative easing have always been very related to asset inflation and wealth inequality and have been a direct target of the Fed. There’s a reason why Trump wants them to reduce interest rates further so badly despite the fact that since Volker even the Fed itself says that worsens stagflation. I directly dispute the models that say this stuff is benign or helpful because if anything rising income inequality is one of the biggest predictors for extreme economic depressions. And frankly it’s not just the Fed that’s doing this shit. It’s the whole Western liberal economic system.

I’d say the same if you believe quantitative easing and low interest rates to increase asset prices were helping the productive economy in any real way and wouldn’t eventually lead to stagflation. Winter has always been coming.

Trump policies are just taking the mask off of previous fed policies at a faster rate. Wealth effect nonsense to fake a healthy economy eventually comes due.

Trump is hyper focused on asset inflation because he’s a moron who is literally incapable of seeing a bigger picture, but Powell and every previous administration have been doing the same damn things since before 2008 that increased income inequality and further divorced the actual productive economy from “the economy.”

They just have no legal recourse if the reward is not paid.

To be clear, it’s because while promissory estoppel and unilateral contracts are a very real thing you can sue over, sovereign immunity keeps that from being an option, particularly federally. If some private organization offered the reward you’d be fine, but when it is a sovereign immune government that hasn’t waved it’s immunity you’re fucked.

Cool tech but I question it’s usefulness. They focus on clinical in their language but anybody who’s on telemetry orders needs waveforms not beats per minute. I care if they’re suddenly in afib, not that they’re a little tachy after getting up to go to the bathroom.

When beekeepers take out honey to sell, or, increasingly, when there isn’t enough pollen available, they give the insects supplementary food.

But that food is made up of protein flour, sugar and water, and has always lacked the nutrients bees require. It is like humans eating a diet without carbohydrates, amino acids, or other vital nutrients.

This is such dystopia stuff. We’ve solved the fact that we were killing the bees by stealing their honey and replacing it with sugar water(while trucking them from the south to their California Central valley almond crop monocultures and hoping they’ll survive on that sugar water) with this “super food” that actually contains proteins required for life. I understand I’m not supposed to be a downer on uplifting news but this so very much does not uplift me.

A sudden shrinking of healthcare job postings. I wonder what could’ve caused that.

Funny to punish Colorado springs though, which is conservative as fuck thanks to the air force.

Houses are for living, not speculation.

The US making any moves like China would result in one of the biggest crashes this country has ever seen. It’s politically toxic without a revolution or a crash and neither party would pursue it because the upper middle class would revolt if their “wealth” in housing equity would disappear. Even China can’t fully commit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had one.

Behold the sparkle of champagne.
The crime rate’s gone, feel free again.
Oh, life’s a breeze with you, Miss Lily White.
Taylor Swifts on the screen today.
Convinced the liberals it’s okay.
So let’s get dressed to dance away the night.

While they kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight.

There’s plenty of left leaning Americans who think Doug Ford is a good guy because he says shit about Trump. It shouldn’t be surprising.

Functional in what way. You’ll still be quite lucid well into the middle stage where you can’t work. It ain’t like it’s direct ticket from work to a locked memory care unit. You might even find life fulfilling along the way that your current anxieties can’t see. I’m an RN myself and I certainly understand seeing cases where you’d rather be dead than there, but there’s a lot of transition between.

You can’t make pressure treated wood that isn’t toxic to the environment due to runoff at treatment sites. It’s like trying to make carbon neutral portland cement. Just like making clinker from limestone chemically has to release carbon dioxide, making pressure treated wood that can’t be broken down when you place it on soil requires toxic biocide chemicals.

Bullet proof vests and fake badges? Wasn’t a robbery but a st Valentine’s Day massacre style hit job.

Early Proto Indo European genders were if things had agency/was animate/acted on the world or not. Was pretty much him and it. A car would be a him because it moves around. Same with a river or a weapon. A rock would be an it. A rolling boulder though becomes outside context, since now he’s an animate rock that has enough agency to kill you. You get enough of these inconsistencies and the language just loses the original plot and you just have to memorize it points to Germanic and romance languages

Yeah sailors had jerky, smoked meats, and dried meats and still got scurvy. Hudson Bay colony had pemmican and still had scurvy outbreaks. The problem is most of the sources you noted destroy much of the vitamin c. Pemmican is a super food for macros but sucks for micros and still needed some forage to supplement. Famously the Iroquois would use tea made from eastern white cedar to do so.

On your glut-4 note: glut-4 is important for cellular transportation and diabetes can harm it’s use leading to oxidative stress but it’s not significant in uptake from food to serum which is the important part when we’re talking about dietary vitamin c. It’s also really incorrect to say glucose wasn’t a factor in ancient diets. The Romans marched on porridge and bread. High carb diets are a defining feature of the neolithic and beyond.

Drying can work to a degree if it’s cold, but it really depends on how you dry it since vitamin c is water soluble. Anything heat dried(including sun dried, which over temp and time will oxidize the vitamin C) is out and osmosis like salt drying can bring the vitamin C along with the water into the salt. Modern sauerkraut is often pasturized so that’s pretty useless for vitamin C. Finally canned preserves are canned under high heat. These industrial processes are a major reason why scurvy was so hard to treat at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nobody could figure it out because they kept heat treating potential solutions. The British pasturized the lime juice at one point, for example.

Vitamin C is heat sensitive but fermentation is fine and a good reason why fermented cabbage is popular in places with cold winter. See kimchi and sauerkraut, as rice or rye alone would kill you over a long winter. Similar mechanics going on for andean freeze dried potatoes to a lesser extent. Beyond that, it’s straight up foraging for greens and berries but that only really works if you’re moving a small enough group of people to allow forage to be an option. Plenty of leafy greens from forage allowed enough vitamin c to stave off scurvy for many ancient armies and sailors(though not all). Cook notably would beat sailors who wouldn’t eat foraged greens. The other option was uncooked organ meats.
