All the US has to do is: nothing. Stop sending over tank shells [1], Fighter jets and attack helicopters [2], deploying aircraft carriers [3] and stop vetoing UN Security Council resolutions trying to impose a ceasefire [4]

Why is this flagged/down voted? Its just a plain statement of fact, supported by credible sources and references. Here's some more references if people think this didn't happen. The IDF attacked and fired on the Nova festival goers with Apache helicopters [1], an Israeli tank fired shells at Kibbutz Be'eri killing hostages and children, and stories of eight babies killed at the kibbutz have been proven to be false, among other things [3], [4]

Iodized salt is almost always the industrially produced variety, pure NaCL and much more salty than the natural varieties - either sea or mountain salts that typically include other minerals and are milder in flavor.

The single biggest factor is the cost of medical education. Once a person spends a fortune getting their degree, it creates a gated community that works to preserve its privileges, deny entry to other cheaper alternatives, and keep prices high across the eco-system.

You will see this in any field that transacts with high value goods: real-estate, enterprise software, weapons of war, investment bankers handling M&A ... the higher the cost of the product, the more the people dealing in it feel entitled to charge for their services.

Here we go again confusing correlation with causation. The medical field is mired with these: eat less to lose weight, reduce cholesterol to prevent heart attacks, reduce stress to prevent stomach ulcers ...

Have they considered people prone to dementia just aren't able to get quality sleep, and both of these are due to some other underlying cause where fixing one doesn't really fix the other?

She's referring to case law. The WSJ and the US Chamber of Commerce have been gunning for Lina Khan for a while now but I wouldn't bet against her. Even when losing, she's expanding how antitrust should be enforced, eg in the FTC v Meta case, the court seemed to accept [1] the FTC's argument about "actual potential competition", setting a precedent that the FTC will likely use in future cases.

Here's a contrarian opinion: Inflation isn't all that bad, if you have a fixed rate loan (i.e. mortgage) that is larger than all your savings put together, and as long as you don't need to sell or refinance, you will come out ahead. Keep in mind inflation requires a wage/price spiral, which means your salaries are also increasing to keep pace with the rising prices, while the loan amount stays the same, so repaying it becomes easier.

The article goes into quite a lot of depth about all the sources of inflation and how to fix it without actually mentioning the predominant cause of the latest inflation: Corporate Profits [1]

In Capitalism, we scorn at "price controls", and then go through a tortuous and roundabout mechanism by raising interest rates, so that the increased cost of borrowing causes corporations to cut expenditure which then pushes higher unemployment, reducing purchasing power and consequently reduces demand, all in the hopes that reduced demand would then cause prices to drop. But if the price increase wasn't triggered by higher purchasing power, then this whole rigmarole is meaningless, inflation remains "sticky"

I'm no admirer of Jordan Peterson, but we don't have to speculate what the religious reaction to this nudity would have been. The Jews were there among the Greeks when all this was happening, and they didn't like it at all [1]

Exactly this. There's people responsible for not paying their parking tickets on time, and then there's folks such as Kissinger and Madeleine Albright that have the blood of hundreds of thousands of people on their hands. Lets not sweep it all under the same rug.

IBM is still #1 in patent grants [1] so there's still other groups there going strong I guess

Depends on who is doing the complaining, but yes there is precedent to arresting an employee for "theft of trade secrets" [1]
