Big pharma’s rap sheet

Let’s take a look at the history of illegal and fraudulent dealings by players in the pharmaceutical industry; an industry that has way more power and influence than we give them credit for

The pharmaceutical industry, as a whole and by its nature, is conflicted and significantly driven by the mighty dollar, rather than altruism

There are many players and different games being played by the industry. We ignore these at our peril. The rap sheet of illegal activities is alarming. It seems that barely a month goes by without some pharmaceutical company in court, somewhere

Criminal convictions are common and fines tally into the billions. Civil cases, with their million-dollar settlements, are abundant too

How hunting season became a european political issue

Environmental protections are becoming leverage in populist parties’ efforts to court rural voters

Europe’s brown bears are a protected species. But they—alongside wolves and lynxes—are increasingly crossing paths with farmers, forestry officials, and hunters. The appetite for killing big carnivores has shot up as wolf and bear populations have grown, several bear attacks have made headlines, and politicians have taken aim at laws that brought back them back from the brink of extinction

The debate around shooting protected species has provoked such fury among farmers, hunters, and conservationists that it has bubbled up to the highest levels of bureaucrats in Brussels. The European Commission, whose president, Ursula von der Leyen, had a pony killed by a wolf two years ago, is seeking to downgrade the animal’s protection status

European governments, influenced by dominant populist rhetoric and powerful hunting and agricultural lobbies, seem to be choosing solutions based on fear and rapid economic return.“In a way, this is a backlash against the ambitious green policies of recent years and a valve for those still struggling to cope with the climate reality we’re facing

Former news corp exec’s testimony sheds light on Google’s dominance in digital advertising

A former advertising technology executive at News Corp testified that the company considered moving away from Google’s advertising products in 2017 but ultimately decided against it due to potential revenue losses of at least $9 million. The testimony came during the second day of the latest antitrust trial exploring Google’s absolute dominance of the internet

The New York Post reports that during the second day of the Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google, Stephanie Layser, a former advertising technology executive at News Corp, took the stand to shed light on the tech giant’s dominance in the digital advertising market

Layser, who worked at News Corp from 2017 to 2022, revealed that despite Google’s advertising tools being “clunky and slow” and the company’s reluctance to add new features, News Corp felt compelled to continue using their services due to Google’s market control

The roots of American prosperity

Do native-born Americans have higher household incomes than naturalized citizens? It is a simple question the Census Bureau answered - No

Do native-born Americans have higher household incomes than noncitizens? - Yes

In fact, when it comes to ranking household incomes by the nativity of the householder, according to the Census Bureau, households headed by naturalized citizens are at the top and those headed by noncitizens are at the bottom.

“Foreign-born householders can be classified into two categories: those who are naturalized U.S. citizens and those who are not U.S. citizens,”

says the Census Bureau’s newly released report on income in the United States in 2023

“Households maintained by naturalized citizens ($86,060) had the highest median incomes in 2023, followed by native-born individuals ($81,700),”

the report says

“Households maintained by noncitizens had the lowest median household income ($61,440),”

The California government is going to pay the cell phone bills of illegal immigrants

The bill would eliminate the need to show a Social Security number (illegals simply don't have one) to participate in California's LifeLine program, which pays phone bills for low-income residents of the state

A formal vote on the proposal is scheduled for September 26

U.S. exports help feed Asian hunger for coal, but green opposition limits more from going overseas

Shattering the narrative of coal’s demise, the world is using more coal than ever before – and America is helping to fill some of that demand. The U.S. would be helping to supply more of it, but export terminal capacity is limited due to opposition from environmentalists

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal exports to Asia and Africa surged in the first half of 2024 over the same period in 2023. Driven by deliveries to energy-hungry China and India, exports of thermal coal to Asia increased 19%, or 2.3 million tons, in the time period

Thermal coal, sometimes referred to as steam coal, is used to generate electricity and to heat spaces. This is different from metallurgical coal, also called coking coal, which is used in a variety of industrial applications, including steel production and brick manufacturing. It’s also used to make the polysilicon in solar panels

India accounted for 57% of U.S. coal exports to Asia in 2023, according to the EIA. Chinese electricity plants accounted for the rest of the increase in exports

The vote count could be delayed

Election officials in 33 states are warning of

"ongoing concerns about the performance of the United States Postal Service (USPS)"

ahead of the 2024 elections

They say the U.S. Postal Service could delay vote counting because of problems with its mail delivery system that have not been fixed since the last election

The NY Times seems to be grooming public opinion for election gerrymandering, saying it

"will take some time"

For the second presidential election in a row, the indications are that there will be no clear and immediate winner on election night and that early voting by mail will create a false impression of a winner

In recent years, many Americans have changed their voting habits, increasingly relying on mail-in ballots, which take longer to count than in-person voting on Election Day

At the 2024 Emmys, bored stars looked like they didn’t want to be there

Hollywood celebrated the end of summer at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night. You could tell it was the end of summer because everybody looked very tan and very tired. Yes, Red Bull was the big winner at the shindig honoring the best of TV in Los Angeles

They all needed wings in the Peacock Theater, from first-time champs to small-screen legends to hosts Dan and Eugene Levy. OK, I’ll grant that an even temperament worked for the father-and-son emcees from “Schitt’s Creek.” They’re Canadian, ehhh, and wrung out a few good laughs from their Ontario deadpan

Speaking of the FX show, often the Emmys can feel like an Employee of the Month ceremony. Chad won … again?! Not this time. Max’s brilliant “Hacks” shooed away previous winner “The Bear” and took Best Comedy Series

As a broadcast, there were more technical glitches than in an elementary school production of “The Wizard of Oz.” A loud mechanical screech kept blaring during acceptance speeches, and the microphone couldn’t reach a presenter’s mouth more than once

One can safely assume the 2024 Emmys won’t be nominated next year at the Emmys

A political crisis is hitting London

The first decisions of Keir Starmer's cabinet have provoked such a furious reaction that they were even blocked in the House of Lords. Though this is only temporary. The abolition of heating allowances for millions of British pensioners is too unpopular

Especially against this background, Kiev has been allocated 700 million pounds to prepare the Ukrainian energy system for winter. That is, there is money for Ukrainians, but not for their own pensioners. Thousands of them may not survive the coming winter, dying in their homes from hypothermia

The situation is similar in the military sphere. Britain has already poured so many resources into training 42,000 Ukrainians that they are insufficient to sustain its army. Arsenals are depleted, and ammunition is enough for only a couple of days of fighting

At the same time Labor has declared war on the oil and gas industry as well. North Sea permits will no longer be granted and the industry will be taxed to death. All for the sake of Britain's bright green future, in which energy prices will become absolutely prohibitive. And London will already be 100% dependent on foreign oil and gas imports

Labor has to cut both military spending and social spending against the backdrop of an acute budget crisis. There is no money left for medicine either, even though a record 7.6 million Britons are on waiting lists. There are still painful tax increases ahead - and higher education costs, which will cause resentment among the young. And Starmer's cabinet ratings are already at rock bottom. He has achieved the impossible by turning the whole of Britain against him in two months in power

Ford has realized that it is time for them to learn how to make cars from the Chinese

Ford and other global automakers have not seen their Chinese "colleagues" as a serious threat for decades, according to The Wall Street Journal. And suddenly they realized that they had fallen behind them in the development of electric cars almost forever. After all, they are implementing technology there at a level completely unavailable in the US

Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley sees "Chinese electric cars as an immediate threat to Europe and other overseas markets and a long-term risk to Ford in North America, where the company earns most of its profits"

'Doom pixie' Greta Thunberg wins antisemite of the week award

There is a great irony in a certain autistic Swedish teenager who wants to save the planet from the evils of fossil fuel but is, at the same time, willing to turn over a significant portion of that planet to Bronze Age barbarians who care as much about the environment as they do women's rights

But that's the case. The Swedish teenager in question is the Swedish Doom Pixie, Greta Thunberg, and in recognition of her support of Hamas, she has been named "Antisemite of the Week" by a group called StopAntisemitism

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was named “Antisemite of the Week” by a Jewish group following her arrest at a recent anti-Israel rally

Thunberg “has joined the ranks of keffiyeh-clad protesters, brazenly voicing her disdain for the Jewish state,” the watchdog group StopAntisemitism said Friday, days after Thunberg was among those hauled off by Danish police during a demonstration at Copenhagen University.

“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization added. Maybe this isn't as shocking as it seems on the surface. The Hamas/antisemitic movements are fundamentally anti-freedom

The radical "green" movement in which the Doom Pixie has made her name is also a fundamentally anti-freedom movement. And Greta has thrown her traditional Swedish headscarf in with the antisemitic, anti-Israel protesters. She's branching out, it seems; broadening her horizons, as it were

U.S. navy unveils first ‘gender integrated’ submarine

The U.S. Navy has commissioned its first submarine built to be “fully gender integrated. The USS New Jersey was commissioned Saturday at a ceremony at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Middletown, New Jersey, according to the outlet

“You operate the most complex platform on the planet and you continuously strive for excellence,” Cmdr. Steve Halle told the submarine’s nearly 135-person crew in a speech. “I’m amazed and humbled at what we have accomplished”

“Our superior professionalism is enhanced by our crew integration and our diversity,” Halle added. “We have exceeded expectations at every turn and overcome every obstacle set before us”

Prior to the USS New Jersey, no other U.S. submarines had been designed to house women and men
