In simpler language: The top 0.1% increased their share of the total wealth by 67%. The top 1% increased their share of the total wealth by 40%. And the bottom 50% decreased their share of the total wealth by 30%.
In 27 years The top 1% went from holding 22.8% of wealth to holding 31.6% The bottom 50% went from holding 3.5% to 2.5%.
That's what I meant, but you put it a bit more clearly. I do know a lot of people who grind their own flour fresh - that is real homemade bread and not ultra processed, and agreed, not magically unhealthy.
Maybe true as long as you make it the same way at home as the ultra processed version from the store. But you usually can't since you don't have the machinery. Homemade wheat bread made of just wheat/water/salt is an…
Even to whatever extent this is what's happening, a stopped clock is right twice a day applies.
"Beaver attacks on people are rare and are thought to primarily involve rabid animals" - the article
There's no way 7 in 10 people were prescribed antibiotics in 2024. This looks like a simple and egregious misinterpretation of the data, which seem to be all too common. I could believe there were 700 prescriptions…
Both humidity and temperature matter, it's a complex thing going on. But yes I'm mostly in a dry environment doing this, I haven't tried it anywhere that was warm and humid at the same time. It helps a lot to not seal…
I've gone without a fridge for 8 years now and do something kind of like this usually - I'll cook a pot of food and then steam or boil it again after ~24 hours to reset the clock on it rotting. It's handy for things…
Can confirm, have made hundreds from playing music after four years of several hours a day. Still probably only made 25% the cost of instrument and strings though.
Parent's question isn't answered in the article - no figure is given for how many deaths under 30 there are as a baseline. From the article: “We estimate that since its introduction [in 2008], HPV vaccination has…
Totally agree - I don't mean to promote or defend all NIMBYism - and a lot of it is simply "I got mine and don't want to share". And there's also something to be said for NIMBYs protecting the habitat they live in or…
Didn't read the article, but regarding the title, this is kind of fundamental. NIMBYs want to protect some aspects of a particular place usually because it is their home. Capitalism largely lives on destroying…
And... sometimes stats and population level studies take a very long time or (more often) are never done at all and so if we only rely on this to tell us what to do, we'll miss a lot. There are common sense ways to…
I'm sure someone is thinking that job loss needs to be gradual enough that they can get technology to the point of having killer drones ready to take out any individual instantly, before any uprising threshold is…
There are clinical tests for systemic inflammation. But there are also lots of potential causes of systemic inflammation, so testing for high inflammation consistently will tell you there's something wrong, but not what…
It doesn't require credentials to identify obvious ways in which a given study or paper doesn't show the thing it is being claimed to show.
Technically extra virgin olive oil should not be refined. I'm always a little dubious because of the financial incentive to cut unrefined oil with some amount of cheaper refined oil, but I don't have any idea how much…
There are tons of possible symptoms because systemic inflammation including from dietary causes basically damages the entire body. But here's a list of some common symptoms from one source: persistent pain, chronic…
Good point, there are a lot of diseases of civilization that have been with us since large scale agriculture, that did not afflict most hunter gatherers.
That's interesting and nice to know. Good point that industrial use might not strictly be "reusing" - that might apply more to restaurants where they have big vats of frying oil and keep dipping food in it for multiple…
Absolutely agree. I don't think I'd want industrially prepared stuff fried in tallow either. There is a chemical distinction in that tallow is mostly saturated fat which doesn't oxidize nearly as easily, so it might be…
Yes, I wasn't talking about unrefined olive, flax, sesame, or coconut. I don't think most people concerned about "seed oils" are concerned about those. It's the refined soybean oil, canola/rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil,…
> There’s a secondary argument about oxidation — seed oils go rancid at high heat, producing potentially harmful compounds. This idea is chemically real and worth being thoughtful about (don’t reuse frying oil…
Any isolation of certain compounds from whole food from other compounds would be part of what I refer to as processed. In the case of refined oils, I'd call it ultra processed just because of how much is removed - even…
