A patron asks: "Prof. Wolff, a question I realize is a lot in a small box: When empowered employees Google’s or Facebook’s programmers mobilize, they demand economic, environmental, and social ethics. Those pit them against Bernays’s legacy: psychological stress designed to induce compensatory (over) consumption. So how can ethical and democratic firms survive without inducing overconsumption? Do these firms become, in effect, landless communes? If climate change cuts water, arable land, and energy, induced “growth” costs lives."

Who CAN you trust? / Present Police State Amerika« Last post by AGelbert on May 09, 2020, 10:35:38 pm »![]() ![]() ![]() By Marcy Wheeler, Emptywheel. From the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, various entities in the United States were always engaged in the kind of dishonesty we accuse China of to hide the extent of the virus. Trump tried to keep a cruise ship offshore so it wouldn’t count against “his” numbers. States everywhere didn’t reveal the crises in nursing homes by hiding where they were occurring. Other states refused to track known COVID-19 deaths because they didn’t occur in a hospital. But now that Trump has fully committed to reopening the economy before the shut down has its desired effect, he and allied governors are engaged in... - more - ![]() ![]() By Lee Camp, Consortium News. If we don’t fight back against the secretive surveillance state growing steadily around us, your wife/husband may find out you love a Cinnabon more than you love her/him. And that might be just the beginning of it. While many of us remain quarantined — inexorably welded to our home/apartment/RV in an abandoned Walmart parking lot — the surveillance state is actually stretching its legs, brought out for a run by our friendly neighborhood oligarchs like a young golden retriever let off its leash on a nice day. Unfortunately, in this case what it’s retrieving is all of our information, movements... - more - Quote The chaos will eventually end but life will not be the same.

Advances in Health Care / Might Enzymes Help Blood Clotting Associated With COVID-19?« Last post by AGelbert on May 09, 2020, 10:19:30 pm »Might Enzymes Help Blood Clotting Associated With COVID-19? ![]() Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola May 09, 2020 STORY AT-A-GLANCE ► Aside from sepsis — which in one study was present in 59% of COVID-19 patients and 100% of those who died — blood clots also appear to be common in patients with severe COVID-19 disease ► Abnormal coagulation is associated with poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19. According to one case report, 71.4% of patients who died of COVID-19 met the criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) while only 0.6% of patients who survived met that criteria ► DIC refers to a systemic disorder that affects blood coagulation and can result in organ dysfunction and death. Prothrombotic DIC causes persistent blood clots. Sepsis is one of the most common causes of DIC ► Doctors are divided when it comes to treatment of DIC. Some believe early administration of blood thinners is advisable, while other data suggest they don’t improve outcomes ► Holistic prophylactic alternatives that might be beneficial against blood clots include proteolytic enzymes such as lumbrokinase, nattokinase and serrapeptase, all of which act as natural anticoagulants by breaking down the fibrin that forms the blood clot Full story: ![]() 9
