Ralph Nader is an 89 year old dinosaur who still thinks legacy news media can be saved. They may have had good intentions once, but the Times and Post are both squarely on the side of keeping the circus going with all of us at each other's throats while they line their pockets.
In the words of Sinclair Media "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy".
After reading the article, your post seems hyperbolic. I don't find it surprising at all that long term use of some medications has some adverse health effects. Notably, the article mentions in the last paragraph that more study of the observed effect is needed before drawing firm conclusions.
Also notable that the medications studied also were correlated with some positive health effects as well. Additionally, the effects were not observed across all classes of depression medications.
Lastly, I feel like the drugs in question, even if they shorten someone's life, may improve the quality of their life, amd that's a trade many would be willing to make.
I didn't see anyone recommend in the comments, but I very much enjoyed Dreamscaper. It has a nice story revolving around the main character confronting hwr psychological issues in the world of her dreams. Combat is fun, slower paced and a little more tactical than most.
Also, fwiw, I'm not generally a roguelike fan, but I liked this one. Whether that makes you more or less likely to take my recommendation is up to you lol.
At 20 years, every active duty service member can retire with 50% of their highest three years of pay for the rest of their life. They also get evaluated for disability, and get that for the rest of their life. After 20 years, each year served adds 2.5% to their pension, so at 30 years, they would get 75%.
How much that pension adds up to depends on how high you moved up in the ranks. A 20 year enlisted servicemember will make a lot less that an officer. More senior enlisted will make a fair amount more than more junior enlisted.
Disability pay is based on how big of a mess you are physically and mentally, each disability pay band is the same, regardless of rank.
He looked like he's gained some weight, but his weight and general schlubbiness haven't stopped him from getting booked so far, amd they'll never stop me from loving him. Eddie on the mic is a master class.
Side note, don't know if you like Dark Side of the Ring or not, but that was where I learned this weekend that the Mox/Eddie exploding ring gimmick that they botched so bad on AEW back in the day was straight from Onita/Funk even more back in the day. Blew my mind.
I liked the end of the MJF/Cole match a lot. It was a good cliffhanger. Would have been better with a 5 minute countdown onscreen to build some tension though.
Willow/Skye is gonna be a fun tag team, I like Willow a lot. The Skye/Storm match was kinda whack though, they both just seemed slow. Good plot development though, and it seems like they might push Willow on Dynamite.
The end of the BCC/Elite match was fire. So happy to see my boy Eddie back in action a little bit. Also Kenny. Also Hangman opening a can of whoop ass all over the place.
Overall, it was a pretty solid show!
Depending on how far you get, it can be. My retirement without disability will be approximately 50k a year. That, plus disability in a LCOL area is enough. Retirees also get COL adjustments annually.
Current plan for me is to retire, attend law school, and work as a public defender to put my money where my mouth is as a filthy lefty, but the work is because I want to, not because I have to based on where I'm planning on retiring.
Looking forward to MJF v Adam Cole. Don't really care about Wardlow v Hager. Big meaty dudes bumpin meat isn't really my thing. BCC v Elite should be pretty good. Women's matches are always a good thing, and I'm hoping for good things out of Skye. Jist praying it's not a squash.
Join the military! Pay ain't great, quality of life is sketchy at best, and you'll retire with plenty of physical and mental health issues, but you'll be retired at 20 years with the government paying you to go to school for 3 years so that you can start a second career. I guess it's a mixed bag.
No shit....
This seems like the most obvious headline ever. I have my first retirement coming up in 3.5 years, and I'm holding on by the skin of my teeth. And I'm one of the lucky ones with a job that offers a flat pension at 20 years regardless of age.
I feel like he definitely does. Most of the old heads in government seem to pine for an era that may or may not have even existed. Seems like most media types have the same notion of legacy media as a fourth estate that bravely stands up for all of us in the halls of power. The real work isn't being done on CNN though, it's independent journalists that don't have a press pass. Legacy media can be trusted to get the facts at least, but they're hopeless on analysis.
