Trump’s State Capitalism – The USA Potato

Doubt doesn’t have to disprove harm.
It just has to delay action.
Microplastics uncertainty is already being weaponized—just like tobacco and climate science before it.

Part III: Sick by Design

Part III: Sick by Design – How Shareholder Health Care Profits from Human Suffering I think most of us want to believe that healthcare exists to make people well. That hospitals are sanctuaries and doctors are healers. That the system, for all its flaws, is fundamentally trying to help.

Horizon Accord | Industrial Harm | Corporate Liability | Democratic Accountability | Machine Learning

An epidemic of worker illness reveals a familiar pattern: profits protected upstream while risk and harm are pushed downward, framed as progress and stripped of accountability.
