If a company wants the benefits of corporate law they should be required to institutionalize governance participation by customers and employees through advisory boards whose deliberations and recommendations were in the public record.

I still think churches could be put to better use if they were converted into Centers for Scholarly Learning to providing continuing educational experiences to their communities.

Per capita GDP in the USA is over $80K for every man, woman and child in the country. Our elected leaders have allowed 24% of that output to flow into the pockets of the top 1% and another 43% to the next 9% of the wealthiest Americans and now they want to starve those whose pockets they emptied.

I wonder if the MAGA crowd's interest in genetics extends to the recognition of cultural transmission and how normalizing behaviors like this is a parallel to passing on genetic mutations. Factor in prestige and payoff bias and you pretty much guarantee seeing the frequency of the trait increase.

Let's add; obliterate corporate money in politics & levy confiscatory taxes on the wealthy. Elevate employee & consumer interests to the same level as shareholders &index minimum wage to the cost of living. Subject monopolies to break-up or nationalization. Restore separation of church and state

Anecdotally, as I get older I find that simple behavioral patterns become more and more desirable. I used to be a butterfly. Now I am becoming an ant.

It puzzles me that are legislative systems have been so aggressive in looking after the well-being of teenagers engagement with social media while turning a completely blind eye to the damage done by Fox News across the entire population

Tisch is Mamdani's bullet proof vest.
Public safety is the first and preferred line of attack by a conservative oligarchy. By retaining her, he insulates his administration against attacks on his administration of public safety affairs.

Simple Truth:
Insurance and financing's purpose is to mask imbalances in wealth distribution.

Sustaining them amplifies wealth concentration because capital earns returns faster than wages grow, while those without capital pay premiums and interest that sustain the system.

How many thousands of passenger flights were canceled today in order to reduce Air traffic control volume?

We mere mortals are so vulnerable to subterfuge. Programs such as home equity loans, student loans, even the promotion of women's right to work as a way to normalize the two earner household are nothing more than modern forms of indentured servitude designed to obscure that withholding of fair wages

Why would you assign these behavioral characteristics to a designated gender?

To all the folks who worry about teen's consumption of social media; don't you think adult consumption of Fox News is a far greater concern?
