How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

I saw one case in my life of thallium toxicity (an HVAC worker on the roof over a lab that vented it near him).
It was awful.
Peripheral neuropathy, profound depression, and cognitive issues.
He had to fight constantly to keep his disability.

That IS interesting.
It makes sense, given that there are other central nervous system effects of lead but from now on, it's in my differential for depression.

Thank you.
It's so spot on and gracefully written!
As you know, her work brought us Workers' Compensation.
Unfortunately, workers aren't compensated enough, nor are workplaces safe enough.
The struggle continues.

Umm.
More than 70 years when the West toppled the democratically elected Mossadegh.

Agree that Trump doesn't give a damn about democracy there and is destroying it here.

And yup.
Oil/fossil fuels are the cause of wars and the military is top consumer of those products.
Fuel circle of hell.

Dr. Oz says Obamacare enrollment may be β€˜too high’ Even as the top official for Medicaid and Medicare claims millions may be falsely enrolled, the Trump administration is urging younger people to sign up for high-deductible ACA plans.

Oz says many more can die.

Although Obamacare sign-ups have fallen significantly this year over skyrocketing monthly premiums, Dr. Mehmet Oz believes enrollment is still too high.

Interesting history, that!

Trump has lowered the threshold for nuclear holocaust
But as you know, we have our own lone wolves, our submarine or island-based Jack D. Rippers.

I can't tell if he really said that or you're making a reasonable inference about the ramblings of his mad mind.
Parody and reality have become blurred for me lately.
