I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Reagan’s “toughness” did not break the Soviet Union.
The Soviets long had been unable to produce enough grain to feed their people. For decades, they had made up the difference by buying grain on the world market. They raised the foreign currency necessary to buy grain by selling oil. The price of oil fell sharply over the 1980s. Flat broke, the Soviet state simply could no longer function.
If humans are indeed the most evolved species, why do so many of us suffer from developmental or genetic diseases? Phys.org explains why, unlike our ape ancestors, humans are still paying the price for losing our tails. https://flip.it/DX01o9 #Science#Humans#Biology#Evolution
Thing is, I'm not quite sixty and I have no adult memories of pre-Mammonite-takeover anything. Joe Biden is about as young as it's possible to be for someone to have those settled adult memories of how things work when you organize the economy to benefit the nation and citizenry as a whole.
It's not ideal that he's that old, but in a lot of ways it's positive-sense important that he's that old. He knows for sure mammonism is optional.
"“The climate risk information coming from the science community is simply indigestible by the financial markets,” De Meyer says, “which means they continually underestimate the dangers of climate change.”
.@sundogplanets: "Get out and enjoy your dark skies, before they change. With proper regulation, our oldest form of space exploration can continue. I desperately hope we never reach a point where the natural patterns in the sky are drowned out by anthropogenic ones, but without regulation, corporations will get us there soon."
A new mom died after giving birth at a Boston hospital. Was corporate greed to blame?
"a device that could have stopped the bleeding in Rashid's liver was repossessed by the manufacturer weeks earlier.
"the manufacturer had come to "retrieve any embolization coils at the hospital" because Steward hadn't paid its bills. According to a lawsuit filed by the manufacturer, Steward owed about $2.5 million in unpaid bills.
"Infection in infancy isn't just a transient illness. It’s a harbinger of prolonged developmental disruptions. Covid-positive infants manifest significantly impaired psychomotor development. & a higher incidence of mildly delayed performances at the crucial 18–24 month developmental milestone. The revelation of smaller head circumferences in these infants during their 1st yr is alarming.
“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is ‘Nazi’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”
Are you a Geography or History teacher, or do you know one/lots? The UCL Centre for Climate Change Education is doing excellent work in making materials/CPD for teachers who want to include climate change in all subjects. They have new material for Hist/Geog available now. Please share.
"The water cycle that shuttles Earth’s most vital resource around in an unending, life-giving loop is in trouble. Climate change has disrupted that cycle’s delicate balance, upsetting how water circulates between the ground, oceans and atmosphere.
The events of 2023 show how significant these disruptions have become. From extreme precipitation and flooding to drought and contaminated water supplies, almost every part of the U.S. faced some consequence of climate change and the shifting availability of water.
The water cycle controls every aspect of Earth’s climate system, which means that as the climate changes, so too does nearly every step of water’s movement on the planet. In some places, the availability of #water is becoming increasingly scarce, while in others, #climate change is intensifying rainfall, #floods & other extreme weather events.
