Because it doesn’t spark outrage. Outrage is the swiss army knife of the new fascists. It’s distracting us from all the horrific shit they are doing, we’re overwhelmed with rapid insane information so we can’t focus on what they just did, and it allows them to subtilty shift “normal” their direction; thus all opposition must be “radical”.
The French had a similar issue in the tail end of the 1700’s, perhaps we could draw inspiration from their work.
Yes, smell and sound.
Corps don’t give a fuck about an antitrust law suit. In the US, the party that pays the most to jerk off CEOs just got put in charge. Even if it was the other party, who only pays slightly less, the most extreme fines are a slap on the wrist. Hell, come Jam 20th it’ll probably a tax write off.
Until the EU levies fines that would kneecap these companies out of business, there is no incentive to change the behavior.
What’s silly is for profit healthcare.
Before making it easier to become a mental health professional, we might think about retention. The APA figured a decade ago 65% of PhD (Psychology, not Psychiatry) students dropped out before program completion. The number that I’ve seen floated, but can’t find a source other than from the UK is, 89% of mental health practitioners leave the field within two years of graduation. Poor pay, and insurance industry woes are almost aways cited as top reasons why.
Friend, I think you’ve drunk the Kool-aid.
The only reason the ADA can get away with recommending you brush your teeth 120 minues a month is, tooth brushes are cheep. The product don’t cost insurance companies a dime. If tooth brushes cost $150 + an hour, you’d get 6 a year, so long as you’d met your deductible.
Mental health services are not just for folks who aren’t doing well. Mental health services are prophylactic! To say that only folks not doing well need metal health services is medical model propaganda that the profit driven insurance industry wants you as a provider to buy into. They know they’re screwing you over too! Remember when they made you sign a contract to not share your payout rates with other clinicians so you can’t collectively bargain? The mental health parity act languished for ~ 16 years, and it’s still a joke.
The term “Medical necessity” is corporate speak for “lower profits”, and implies providers would be wide spread abusing the system if not for constant oversight. Meanwhile, they make billions on you, and your colleagues stolen labor.
Elbowed on the anus.
Getting ones elbow in an anus is a different sport.
Interesting observation. I think most cats demonstrate Machiavellian narcissistic traits.
It was exactly like this in 2016. It was just a lot harder for laymen to spot. Many clinicians discussed feeling a responsibility to warn vs interpretation of the “Goldwater Rule”.
It’s tripping me up you had to point out you’re not a boomer instead of just saying you’re from Gen X.
Pants that didn’t start as brown.
All this 2FA, SSH, token / key stuff is garbage. Rectal vascular mapping is the only legitimate security option.
The “Weekend at Bernie’s” method seems to be working well enough already.

I’m sure the folks who love hate crimes, deny climate change, and claim ownership over women’s bodies, from all states are looking to relocate to Texas.
Read a little de Beauvoir, or Sartre. Existentialism always puts things in perspective.
