I made it for a few years and the amount of processed palm oil products is absolutely disgusting. Tonnes and tonnes of shipping processed oil products and wasting poor countries to subside the costs. The big hang ups were the preservatives, like parabens, but evidence was mixed. Most companies now go for vitamin E and a wide variety of novel poisons that no-one has had time to work up anger over.

Appears to be "DMDM hydantoin" which is a preservative that breaks down into formaldehyde.

Hell I've met older childless single dudes who are like "you may be right, but I gotta look out for me. If [disruption] happens I could lose my retirement!"

I guess we're all hostages of this in a way, but drat I'd really prefer to hear people be a little less openly selfish. Especially if they go with the "well you drive a car / buy literally anything/ have access to first world material comforts you know, what are YOU doing?!"

Individuals shouldn’t be accosted for being selfish when the government doesn’t care about the factory down the road dumping more co2 in the air in a week hour than a single person could in a year.

Think you misread my post. This isn't a person who wants the government to disrupt the economy by enacting climate preservation measures for real (it would hurt the markets / weaken the US you see)

Nudging people toward appreciation of nature and disgust with the world we've built and are responsible for, with some levity to offset the self loathing. It's like carbon credits I reckon.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
Over the last year I've been watching a lot of these "Deadliest Roads" videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLgqOez346ZN1NODJrl7Z3ApTvf11Czyy. The level of hardship and exploitation shown in them is truly staggering to me, but it makes me think about how far western nations are bound to fall when government services stop existing and it's everyone for themselves.

I'd suggest you check out some of the african nation episodes for some eye opening scenarios.

in australia, the priorities of just about every retiree i know has abruptly switched from "travel the world and build myself a stupid tiny castle" to "avoid residential care at all costs". it's a coup for capitalism, because care is a financial black hole where there's always a more expensive, better option and terrified old people will pour everything they own into it until they die.

I totally agree and have older parents saying stuff like "why go to the doctor to find out I have something I can't afford to deal with it costs money to even talk about it" and also feel the same as my local doctor became part lf a big health company and then retired (he was super old though).

no way lmao

she’s so loving gross. the new aristocracy smells just like the old regime.

quote:

She was born and raised in Brussels to German parents. Her father, Ernst Albrecht, was one of the first European civil servants. She was brought up bilingually in German and French. She moved to the Hanover Region in 1971 when her father entered politics to become minister-president of the state of Lower Saxony in 1976. As an economics student at the London School of Economics in the late 1970s, she lived under the name Rose Ladson, the family name of her American great-grandmother from Charleston, South Carolina. After graduating as a physician from the Hannover Medical School in 1987, she specialized in women's health. In 1986 she married fellow physician Heiko von der Leyen of the von der Leyen family of silk merchants. As a mother of seven children, she was a housewife during parts of the 1990s and lived for four years in Stanford, California, while her husband was on the faculty at Stanford University, returning to Germany in 1996.

Most of her ancestors were from the former states of Hanover and Bremen in today's northwestern Germany; she has one American great-grandmother of primarily British descent, with more distant French and Italian ancestors, and some ancestors from what are now the Baltic states, then in Imperial Russia. The Albrecht family was among the hübsche ("courtly" or "genteel") families of the Electorate and Kingdom of Hanover—a state that was in a personal union with the United Kingdom—and her ancestors had been doctors, jurists and civil servants since the 17th century. Her great-great-grandfather George Alexander Albrecht moved to Bremen in the 19th century, where he became a wealthy cotton merchant, part of the Hanseatic elite and the Austro-Hungarian Consul from 1895. He married Baroness Louise Dorothea Betty von Knoop (1844–1889), a daughter of Baron Johann Ludwig von Knoop, one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the 19th century Russian Empire.[14]

Von der Leyen's father's grandparents were the cotton merchant Carl Albrecht (1875–1952) and Mary Ladson Robertson (1883–1960), an American who descended from a planter family in Charleston, South Carolina. Her American ancestors played a significant role in the British colonization of the Americas, and she descends from many of the first English settlers of Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Barbados, and from numerous colonial governors. Among her ancestors were Carolina governors John Yeamans, James Moore, Robert Gibbes, Thomas Smith and Joseph Blake, Pennsylvania deputy governor Samuel Carpenter, and the American revolutionary and lieutenant governor of South Carolina James Ladson.[15][16][17] The Ladson family were large plantation owners and her ancestor James H. Ladson owned over 200 slaves by the time slavery in the United States was abolished; her relatives and ancestors were among the wealthiest in British North America in the 18th century, and she descends from one of the largest slave traders in the Thirteen Colonies, Joseph Wragg. Carl and Mary were the parents of Ursula von der Leyen's grandfather, the psychologist Carl Albrecht, who was known for developing a new method of meditation and for his research on mystical consciousness.[18] She is the niece of the conductor George Alexander Albrecht and a first cousin of the chief conductor of the Dutch National Opera Marc Albrecht.[19]
