Yet another reason I don't believe the climate change hype. The aftermath of the COP30 meeting in Panama is just garbage everywhere. These climate meetings are just social gatherings for the elite. $2 billion for the elite to spend on themselves.
Yeah, and now we know that environmental activism is linked to dark triad traits and left-wing authoritarianism.

Linoleic acid in soybean oil contributes to obesity. This is not new since the LA is unconjugated, as opposed to the linoleic acid in meats and dairy products, which may actually counter obesity. This is probably why America got so fat. Well, it helps to know some of the factors, so that they can be countered.

Economist explains Portland’s decline. You don't really need an economist to explain it. Everyone knows, except the Democrats in charge.

Washington Must Break Its Promise on Social Security. Why are we always running out of SS money, but never run out of foreign aid and NGO money? That's what I'd like to know.

Most corporations don't know how to implement generative AI. A report from MIT suggests that 90% of initiatives fail.

Prices must always continue to go up. This is something my younger self never understood. The short answer is that only having prices go down but wages remain the same is not only unfair but destabilizing. Producers would be losing out and leaving money on the table, and that's never going to happen. So everything must get steadily more expensive. This is why I hate unions striking for higher wagers, instead of letting the market determine salaries. Employers are restricted by law from firing striking union members as well as other ways of fighting back. Some have demanded that companies be forbidden to go out of business, and hire striking employees back. Utter crap. So if you don't have a way to increase your pay to stay above inflation, you are screwed.

90% of Wikipedia articles contain an error. Higher than I thought, it includes typos, so perhaps this is not surprising.

Portland mayor declares victory on homeless shelter bed goal. This is meaningless. It's like saying that you're going to attack the cuts-and-scrapes problem by manufacturing 1000 Band-Aids. You can do it, but it won't solve the underlying problem. And now, Portland housing authority cuts staff amid budget uncertainty. So who's going to administer and monitor all these shelters.
