The language used in the lawsuit makes it sound like these shareholders are trying to highlight that UHC has to engage in anti-coksumer practices in order to reach their profit goals. We don’t know anything about who they are. Doesn’t take much to be a shareholder
I genuinely don’t understand how the race or gender of the prosecution has any bearing here. We’re not talking about a jury, we’re talking about the people who are presenting state’s evidence in the trial. The prosecution does not decide whether Diddy is innocent or guilty, a jury does. If a jury in the trial of a black man is composed of 12 white women, that could be a real point of issue in our justice system, but the prosecution? It makes no sense
He’s discussing his book because it’s directly related to the topic being discussed. He doesn’t need to plug his book here, it’s spent much of the last year and a half on the NYT bestseller list
Yes, you’re not not going to have any foreign tax obligations owning a mutual fund in your 401k
You can direct your investments in your 401k to international funds much more easily
I linked below a systematic review where many of the studies do find this to be the case.
I’m glad Germany hit back by rebuking Rubio’s slam
This systematic review lists 12 studies that almost all concluded THC has a causative relationship with schizophrenia.
Alcohol can make you feel like shit and can do great damage if used too often, but meth and K2 can fuck someone’s brain up after even one use due to lack of quality control
They cite one such study right there in the article, and there are others: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38775165/
This isn’t new information either, the experience I related above was a decade ago, and the impact of weed on people prone to psychotic disorders was already well known to the medical community at that time.
Substance-insuced psychosis (psychotic symptoms while you’re intoxicated) is a different diagnosis than a psychotic episode. That psychotic symptoms are not due to substance intoxication is actually one of the criteria of a psychotic episode. What I’m talking about are people for whom weed can trigger a psychotic episode that doesn’t go away after the high wears off.
I worked inpatient psych for a long time, and can tell you first-hand the link between psychosis and cannabis is real. No, this does not mean “if you smoke weed you’re going to get psychotic!” What it does mean is that if you’re someone with a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia (e.g. you have a known family history) weed is a potential trigger for a psychotic episode. If someone has already developed schizophrenia, smoking weed can make their symptoms worse and more difficult to manage with medications.
80% of people coming through the psych hospital, whatever, I don’t care if you smoke weed. Honestly, I wish people would smoke weed rather than use meth, K2, or a bunch of other drugs that fuck people up. But for that subset of people prone to psychotic episodes, the conversation centers around “some people can smoke weed and be fine, and you are not one of those people.”
The most common ages for men to develop first episode psychosis are 18-25, and while it’s dumb that this article focuses on teenagers, the risk in that age group is genuinely higher. This article really is dumb overall and does not explain any of this well
The more complex the design, the more expensive it’s going to be, even with this construction method. Starbucks is looking to do this as cheaply as possible.

Acadia is a for-profit, publicly-traded disaster of a mental healthcare company. All of their facilities provide unethical care. Their turnover is universally off the charts because the working conditions are so awful. Every patient and every staff I’ve ever known who’s been through or worked at one of their facilities has nothing but awful things to say.
It was a joke, because everything after the first movie might as well not exist. Apparently it wasn’t received.
Wow, thank you for the definition of the word franchise, I had no idea /s
Your inference is bullshit. You don’t know anything about what this person does or believes
