Almost everywhere these days sadly. If there are exceptions, I’m not aware of them. Tax codes are globally under fire because companies see them as an impediment to profitability, and not the foundation for how society functions and thus allows business to function.
Do members in the UK have any say over executive compensation? Because that is something they should look into.
the annual interest, of €60bn, could soon become its biggest budget outlay.
public financial support for the corporate sector currently coats €100bn
Not only not a centrist, he can’t even do math.
No no no, you can’t tax corporations silly. That would punish them for creating jobs and wealth, they will leave the country and take back their jobs and then where would we be? Better continually lower corp taxes and Unleash the Magic™️ that will somehow cause budgets to balance themselves and jobs to spring up in abundance.
To evaluate the impact of psilocybin on longevity in vivo, aged (19 month) female mice were treated with vehicle [vehicle is what the psilocybin was suspended in for injection] or psilocybin [actually vehicle + psilocybin] once/month for 10 months; mice were initially given a low-dose (5 mg/kg) for the first treatment followed monthly high-dose (15 mg/kg) treatment for a total of 10 treatments. We elected to utilize 19-month old mice, which is roughly equivalent to 60–65 human years, in order to evaluate its therapeutic potential as a clinically-relevant anti-aging intervention.
Within 30 min post-treatment, mice exhibited increased head-twitch response, which is a well-established behavioral indicator of hallucinogenic impacts of psilocybin in mice. Both psilocybin and vehicle groups exhibited some loss in body weight from the start to end of the treatment protocol, however weight loss was not significantly different in vehicle vs. psilocybin-treated mice. Notably, psilocybin treated mice demonstrated significantly higher survival (80%), compared to vehicle (50%).
Although not quantitatively measured, psilocybin-treated mice exhibited phenotypic improvements in overall fur quality, including hair growth and reductions in white hair compared to vehicle-treated mice.
In summary, we provide the first experimental evidence demonstrating that psilocybin treatment can enhance survival in aged mice.
So, caveats:
TLDR: Promising results in an under studies area. More studies are required to confirm results. Following this regimen will cause a non-trivial disruption in your monthly routine.
Meanwhile, wages have not kept up, largely to support/advantage/non-impact for those who bought in earlier. Boomers take advantage of low taxes, low-cost services, etc. driven by low wages.
Even with low interest rates, the size of the necessary downpayment is prohibitive and exposure to interest rate related shocks are much greater.
And everything else is much more expensive for an expensive house, including insurance, which is also getting harder to get and more expensive due to climate change.
Tl;DR: Younger generations are not getting housing because of older generations. We all know the answer to this question…

Not the mandatory volunteering to help plan, execute, and clean up after the optional mandatory after-work in-office no-alcohol team building event?
That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put your finger on.

the Julius Caesar of our time—Donald Trump
Biiiiig doubt right off the bat, but I’ll keep reading.
We can’t stop people free-riding, it’s part of our nature, the incurable syndrome… Free riders are among us … if we accept that we all have this ancient flaw… we can design policies around that and change our societies for the better.
Right, ok, I guess that makes sense. How do we fix it then?
Self-knowledge: …appearing trustworthy but being selfish can be more beneficial to the individual. We need to recognise that and make a moral choice about whether we try to use people or to work with them.
Ok, sure, for the less-selfish folks who have the capacity for self-awareness. But the more selfish folks already know this because they are exploiting it.
Education: We must teach people to think ethically for themselves, and to give them the tools to do so.
Hmm, big doubt. We’ve been trying to do this for ages in many societies. Not only has it not been a panacea, the selfish often hijack the education systems themselves.
Policy: Goodman believes that exposing free-riders is more beneficial than punishment… suggesting that journalistic work exposing exploitation can be as effective… as criminal punishment.
Ok, you lost me. Maybe the book is better, but this is garbage. I don’t care about changing behaviour, I want to stop the bleeding. Criminal punishment for the criminally sociopathic! This guy and Susan Collins can keep eachother company…
They might still get you on skin colour, ethno-linguistic origin of name, left-wing political affiliations, religious affiliations (or lack thereof), type of employment or specific employer, perceived accent, or a boarder agent just having a very bad or a very good day.
Depends on if you’re measuring in Ford Fields or Beaver Stadiums.
