As Clown World Turns...

I saw the footage of the street shitter shitting in public the other day but chose not to post it - but now they have arrested the man who filmed him. It really pisses me off to see this cuckoldry taking place worldwide

Court Told of Alleged Sledgehammer Attack at Elbit Systems UK Facility​

• Authorities say six people used a prison van to break into the Elbit Systems UK factory near Bristol on Aug. 6, 2024, in a 'meticulously organised' attack.
• Palestine Action had previously targeted the Bristol plant during the Gaza conflict, spraying paint and smashing windows, and was proscribed under UK terrorism laws after a separate RAF base incident.
• Police evidence, including bodycam footage, depicts activists in red overalls using sledgehammers and axes to attack officers, with one clip showing Samuel Corner swinging a sledgehammer at PC Buxton.
• PS Kate Evans told jurors that an X-ray showed a lumbar spine fracture, leaving her unable to work for three months and reliant on painkillers and assistance with basic tasks.
• The trial at Woolwich Crown Court is underway and expected to last until January; Elbit Systems UK said the Bristol site supplied only the British military and later closed the plant, while prosecutors said proscription is not relevant.

Ha...damn. "stop poisoning the earth, we'll do it ourselves".

I haven't had a flu shot in over a decade; I've had the flu once or twice over the same period of time, lasted a few days at most; DayQuil and NyQuil made it easier as did working from home.

I've had the flu shot every year for at least 20 years, so far so good...not so much as a cold.

It's the hospitals and the doctors. Our healthcare system is a mess. It's not about health it's about profits.

I've had major problems with BCBS of MN denying claims for two eye surgeries I had in 2023. Now I'm fighting a local hospital (Sanford). They refuse to bill my insurance company for my last two visits. On the phone they say the claims were denied, but they will not put that in writing and they will not show me proof the claims were denied.

I call my insurance company weekly and check my online profile daily. No claims filed by Sanford so no claims denied. All Sanford will say is "you are the guarantor on this account, you have to pay it". And now it's going to collections.

Not sure I agree with this, no one is forcing anybody to pick this shit to eat. It's just like cigarettes.

I think there's a difference in that cigarette companies aren't allowed to target children the same way anymore. A lot of cigarette companies divested into food a long time ago and all the things that were used back in the day for cigarettes are now being used on children with processed foods. I think Nestlé has to be the most evil company of those listed there but they're all terrible. Fuck Nestlé.

In 2007, groups including the International Baby Food Action Network and Save the Children issued reports that the promotion of infant formula over breastfeeding led to health problems and deaths among infants in less economically developed countries. There are three problems that can arise when poor mothers in developing countries switch to formula as well as one list of benefits of breast milk:

Sanitation:

• Formula must be mixed with water, which is often impure or not potable in poor countries, leading to disease in vulnerable infants. Because of the low literacy rates in developing nations, many mothers are not aware of the sanitation methods needed in the preparation of bottles. Even mothers able to read in their native language may be unable to read the language in which sterilization directions are written.
• Although some mothers can understand the sanitation standards required, they often do not have the means to perform them: fuel to boil water, electric (or other reliable) light to enable sterilisation at night. UNICEF estimates that a formula-fed child living in disease-ridden and unhygienic conditions is between 6 and 25 times more likely to die of diarrhea and four times more likely to die of pneumonia than a breastfed child

Nutritional value:

• Many poor mothers use less formula for the baby than is required, in order to make a container of formula last longer. As a result, some infants receive inadequate nutrition from weak solutions of formula.
• Breast milk has many natural benefits lacking in formula. Nutrients and antibodies are passed to the baby while hormones are released into the mother's body. Breast milk contains the right amount of the nutrients essential for neuronal (brain and nerve) development. The bond between baby and mother can be strengthened during breastfeeding.Frequent and exclusive breastfeeding can also delay the return of fertility, which can help women in developing countries to space their births.The World Health Organization recommends that, in the majority of cases, babies should be exclusively breast fed for the first six months, and then given complementary foods in addition to breastfeeding for up to two years or beyond.

Preserving milk supply:

• The practice of relying on free formula in maternity wards frequently means the mother loses the ability to make her own milk and must buy formula (as stated in the following paragraph).

Advocacy groups and charities have accused Nestlé of unethical methods of promoting infant formula over breast milk to poor mothers in developing countries. For example, IBFAN claims that Nestlé distributes free formula samples to hospitals and maternity wards; after leaving the hospital, the formula is no longer free, but because the supplementation has interfered with lactation, the family must continue to buy the formula. IBFAN also alleges that Nestlé uses "humanitarian aid" to create markets, does not label its products in a language appropriate to the countries where they are sold, and offers gifts and sponsorship to influence health workers to promote its products. The company not only made use of mass media promotion (e.g. billboards and posters) and sample distributions, they also had sales people dressed as so-called "milk nurses" to visit mothers in hospital and at their home to praise formula and its benefits. Nestlé justified its actions by rejecting the responsibility for e.g. the lack of clean water in many developing countries and further argued with freedom of consumer choice, which in the company's opinion allows for formula products to be sold in developing markets.

https://voxdev.org/topic/health/deadly-toll-marketing-infant-formula-low-and-middle-income-countries#:~:text=We estimate that Nestlé's entry,deaths between 1960 and 2015.

We estimate that Nestlé’s entry into LMIC formula markets caused about 212,000 infant deaths per year among mothers without clean water access at the peak of the Nestlé controversy in 1981, and has led to approximately 10.9 million excess infant deaths between 1960 and 2015.

It's the parents responsibility ultimately to feed their children a healthy diet.

Because parents are lazy or ignorant, it's not the fault of big business.

Let it go to collection, they have no power. Only a judge can make you pay something. Tell them to fuck off.

Clown World is nearing its zenith and best to watch from afar...

Post random glimpses from Clown World in this thread:

Is there really THAT great a need for sign language interpreters at events such as this?

It all started with Political Correctness. Instead of calling shit like it is, we sugarcoated everything and instead of honoring the social contract and etiquette of decency we allowed everything to acceptable… shit like calling a man a HER… and instead of calling retards - retarded, we gave them a trophy.
Now these people that we tolerated and gave a platform to, suddenly think they matter, and are special.

Healthcare administration is so bloated. All these worthless busy bodies getting paid $200-400k a year to do nothing. Nurses are overpaid, $90k-130k a year to hand out blankets, give people tylenol, maybe give an IV sometimes, look at their iphones...yeah they do some important stuff sometimes but most of the time it's really just mickey mouse shit. Doctors....important but lots of them like specialists completely game the system to make millions. My mom was a nurse, she said when she started and for like 20 years her unit had 12 beds, she had 4 managers/admin, there was 1 secretary on the unit at a time, everything functioned fine. By the time she left that hospital, her unit had downsized to 8 beds, she had 12 managers/admin staff (more than nurses) and 3-4 secretary staff just milling around. Handing out that Tylenol went from a 5 min procedure to something she had to go through 4 computer processes and would often take 20-25+min. She then went to work at a VA after retiring for a part time, she said there were doctors at her unit making $400k a year that were NEVER there, and these doctors would be employed at multiple hospitals making $400k at each one (she never even met a couple of them after 3 months). The costs are absolutely insane....but it's like you can have insane costs or complete dogshit care, dunno which is worse.

The hospitals used to be a place that people cared and wanted to make you comfortable and healthy again, now they just want to muddle through their jobs and the execs want to squeeze every penny out of you they are allowed to. It's not about the patients anymore.

The real problem is the insurance companies ( now all owned by banks, thanks republicans), the drug companies and the hospital administrators.

Some here may remember the original story with this cop who OD'd on fentanyl while on-duty in his police station's restroom last year...and now he's dead (thankfully) after killing his 11 year-old son and leading police on a high-speed chase...what a piece of shit.
