Statins Are Pharma Trash, Research Mounts
August 23rd, 2024Via: Armageddon Prose:
On a long enough timeline, most medical scams — even the most persistent ones — have a way of unraveling.
…
To facilitate more statin prescriptions, the industry developed calculators for adult-child doctors to use, into which they punch in a bunch of numbers and the computer then tells them whether their patient needs statins (they always do, somehow). It turns out — you’ll be shocked to learn — the calculators overestimated the risk of heart disease by 600%.

Jet-Setting Starbucks Boss Makes a Mockery of the Company’s Green Claptrap
August 23rd, 2024haha. Charbucks is hilariously bad. It’s astonishing that so many people continue to buy that dreck.
Anyway, this is easily the most delicious thing Charbucks has ever served.
Via: Telegraph:
What surely can’t be in doubt is the chain’s desire to show how committed it is to saving the planet.
In fact, anyone who has ever had the misfortune to spend a few minutes scouring the Starbucks corporate website would be forgiven for thinking they had accidentally been redirected to the homepage of Greenpeace, such is the vast amount of time and resources it has dedicated to shouting about its green credentials.
…
Among the obscene lengths that the company has gone to get their man is an undertaking that Niccol won’t have to relocate to the company’s base in Seattle when he joins the coffee giant next month. Instead, he will be allowed to “commute” to the office from his home 1,000 miles away in Newport Beach, California by private jet.

Images Show Utopian City ‘Telosa’ Planned For U.S.
August 23rd, 2024What to do until the first private burbclave gets built?
I wonder if it will have a Yoshinoya:
Via: Newsweek:
One of America’s top billionaires is backing the construction of a 15-minute city in the middle of the American West desert, called Telosa.
The city, which is the brainchild of former Walmart president Marc Lore, hopes to have five million residents by 2050, and would be built using sustainable, eco-friendly structures. While no set timeline for construction has been announced, the project has said that the first residents will be “ready to move in 2030.”
Concept images of the city show futuristic cable-car systems, miles of greenhouses and solar panels, and the city’s centrepiece skyscraper, the Equitism Tower. Cars that use traditional fossil fuels for power will be banned in the city.
The city would start out with a population of 50,000 people, before growing to reach five million. Lore aims to build Telosa in Appalachia, or the American West desert, on cheap land.
