We didn’t lose this knowledge last week.

I believe that in our pursuit of solely allopathic remedies we have forgotten millennia of knowledge about natural medicines of our ancestors.

I am not a mental health professional, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. What I do have are some doubts about this statement. Over the last 30 years or so we have dramatically destigmatized mental health problems, and as a society are far more accommodating of them than we ever have been in the past. During that time, it seems as if the general mental health of folks has only declined. We’re not getting any better the more options and availability of treatment that there is. We’re only getting worse, much worse. On some level, I wonder if we’re simply getting more of what we accommodate and accept? i’m not calling in to question your expertise or credentials, simply making statements of generalities based upon my observations. What I don’t think is in question at all is that as a society we are obviously doing something very, very wrong.

It’s not gonna stop. No it’s not.

The difference being the armed criminal doesn’t spend tens of millions of dollars on lobbyists and political donations to gain the ability to write the laws to benefit them. It’s not an apples to apples comparison.

Refer back to my guillotine meme.

Nobody who doesn’t stand to benefit materially from that sort of transition advocates for it.

Therein lies the rub. The ones we are talking about use our desire to protect folks like Erik’s uncles as cover against regulations that would rein in their malfeasance.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re going down as well. we were supposed to fix the issue presented by SIBs, and instead have only made the problem worse. I worry that if this really gets rolling the 2008 collapse will only look like a dress rehearsal.

I’ve been a day 1 annual subscriber as I found them in the fairly early days of of their time together at Rising.

Haha. Been there.

I know exactly where this sign is.

The issue is that when we’re talking about the people in our financial system, like those who got bailed out and all of this, what you describe, doesn’t apply to them. We’re not talking about industrialists. We’re not talking about people who make things or put up their own money to take a risk to make peoples lives better. The finance industry is more about extracting as much wealth out of nothing, and creating an ever more fragile house of cards to accomplish those ends that in the process puts all of us at risk. The two videos that I linked help layout the kind of rigging of the system that goes on. These folks have done a very good job of privatizing the profits while socializing the risks.

As a general rule, with the excessive financialization of our economy, only a select few benefit when things are on the way up. The real problem is that everyone, and I mean everyone gets hurt on the way down.

“Tested to NIJ” is not the same thing as “NIJ tested”.

New watch. So much fun.

That’s pretty much everyone whether the admit it or not.

Agreed, but as I said before, Weirich needed to go. Maybe now that folks are seeing just how bad it was inevitably going to get with an activist like Mulroy, maybe a proper reorientation can occur. As another friend of mine said, “if the courts are trash, policing is futile.”

In a non-snarky and serious manner, let me say that it does happen quite a bit. It’s a legitimate concern and all of my cop buddies (yes I actually have a few on multiple departments including MPD) say that impersonations are a significant problem in Memphis. From folks being pulled over to home invasions. I literally just asked them to confirm before this post. That said, they all agree that Mulroy is a HUUUUUGE problem.
