Don't worry, by the time people find out we gave them Mad Cow in 40-50 years, we can stack up all the extra profits in a Caribbean bank and be sipping margaritas with small grains of salt served by hula girls on a whole fleet of yachts.
Upton Sinclair effect right here. Let's keep supporting a major source of climate change, obesity, antibiotic resistance, animal cruelty and heart disease because you want a hamburger... nothing else is good enough for you, focus on the negatives, discard all of the positives.
About 30 years ago, my now departed grandmother was at her favorite Italian grocery store comparing sirloin to ground sirloin and noticed a price difference. She asked the butcher about the truth of what was in the ground sirloin. "We couldn't sell it at that price without adding things to it." From then on, she bought only sirloin steaks and ground her own at home.
In the absence of sensible government regulations and enforcement, cut-throat capitalism drives individuals and corporations to cut corners and keep cutting more corners until Bhopal or Mad Cow Disease happen.
Only one? My official impression of k8s from many sources, bug reports, first-, second- and third-hand experiences is that there's quite a pile of mud with steam rising from it. There may or may not be viable alternatives, but on its own, quality is a qualitative quality that appears to yours truly to be seriously lacking on multiple fronts.
There was a documentary where eating quality small, oily fish were order(s)-of-magnitude more effective than fish oil pills. Furthermore, fish oil pills can often go rancid and instead contain more omega-6 than omega-3.
IIRC it was Frontline's "The Fish on My Plate" but it might've been another doc
Yes. At a meta-level, it's dripping with contempt, judgement, criticism and antagonism to an extreme degree, plus combative use of redundant personal pronouns to drive a wedge of distance further between parties. "Refuse to allow this type of behavior when it happens or avoid such sources of drama, manipulation and abuse sooner" would be my humble recommendation if I had two cents to chip in.
Cannibalistic theft in a business suit. It's always sold as cheaper and then charges citizens as much as possible later because the state-subsidized monopoly is a business first, not a service.
Yes. Let corporations in to cannibalize and strip-mine the public commons (common-wealth) with perverse incentives and gamify things too important the government should be doing.
You're stuck in an utopian delusion not dealing with reality. When you privatize government, you create perverse incentives for corporations to extort citizens by charging excessive prices and fees, provide shoddy service and tie them to other things they don't want or need.
Netherlands extremely rarely gives anyone an actual life sentence for anything. Plus, it's a property crime, and depends if she had knowledge of their value and intent based on that. Also, you'd need to lock-up half of the European aristocracy and most galleries for taking, and not willingly-returning, works taken from WW2 Holocaust victims and survivors. So in the grand scheme of things, she's, at most, a committer of criminal mischief.
It is more than a property crime. In canada/uk/us it is destruction of evidence. It is conspiracy after the fact. It may be harbouring a fugative. Those would all attach to the original grand theft. She could be looking at serious time should prosecutors go that route.
