 Trauma Programming  (8) |
| - James Howard Kunstler - |
| You'll probably catch a lot of hell on this one James. This thing about the superfluous ( nonessential, redundant, unneeded, excess, extra, (to) spare, remaining, unused, left over, in excess, waste ) caught fire once ALREADY among us "Deplorables." We have but to look at The Case of Julian Assange to see that one side considers him "superfluous" while the other side certainly knows he has always been needed and remains absolutely essential. We're talking about the SAME guy here. It's OUR Society. Let's make everyone an essential part of it. |

Hi again Mish-
In my enthusiasm I didn't specifically answer your questions.
1. Yes, the pneumonia is likely a complication of a more chronic condition (symptoms since January).
2. It didn't; the previous symptoms were related to the chronic condition, not the pneumonia.
3. The latter.
4. To put on a show of strength, I suppose.
5. No
6. Possibly; she seems to have an underlying lung or even heart condition. The most serious possibility would be a lung neoplasm (cancer).
We need to see those lung images, Mish; chest x-ray, CT or MRI. Some blood work and cardiac investigation might be useful, too.

 The Right Lessons ...  (3) |
| - Ron Paul - |
| As always, Ron Paul is spot on ! Obamacare has mainly benefitted Big Pharma and not the consumers ! Centralised systems never works as there always will be widespread abuse from both the healthcare provider ordering excessive/unnecessary diagnostic tests and prescribing too much medicine and from the consumer burdening the health system with minor, self limiting dysfunctions etc. ! And dont 't too impressed with the Scandinavian, (socialist/social democratic) health care system/model, where everything is paid by the taxpayers ! While it is better and far less effective than the US model, it is expensive and unfair as the taxpaying/working people (approx 50% of the people in between 17-68 years old) are paying for the non-taxpaying people, the people on welfare or other government supported incomes (approx 50%) ! The best model is a direct fee for service model with some degree of support from the government - well, a part of your tax paid toward an allocated healthcare account. Most importantly, people should also have the choice of being treated with Naturopathic medicene on equal foot with allopathic (pharmacological) medicine. For far too long has MD's has had the monoplot of treating human disease. This choice should be entirely up to the individual conviction ! Personally, I have not take ANY medical drugs now for 35 years (I'm 50), not even antibiotics, despite having 2 times being diagnosed with pneumonitis, which I overcome by staying in bed, high dose vitamin C (1 gram every 2 hour), Vitamin D 20.000 IU, garlic, Echinacea, Golden seal etc. and most importantly - let the fever rage even above 40 degree - it is not harmful to your body as long as you keep your head cooled with cold packs etc. ! The fever is there for a reason - it's a weapon of the immune system to easier fight the invading microorganism ! Know that: Exempting emergency care and surgery, Allopathic medicine NEVER cures, but only manage diseases e.g. hypertension, diabetes, neurological diseases etc. meaning the intent is to keep you on life-long medications, which essentially has not role in the normal human biochemistry, they are only enzyme/receptor blockers ! They only treat the symptoms NEVER the cause ! The real solution to all the modern, lifestyle diseases is obviously to FIX your lifesyle, eat fresh, natural produce, control your energy balance with physical activity, stop/reduce smoking, alcohol, medical as well as recreational drugs etc. |

Answer To :dboy1231 - 8/8/2016 at 3:05 PM GMT
To lump Soviet, Venezuelan, Brazilian and American "socialism" into a single group is perhaps a little to broad. They are quite different in their origins and in their practices. Socialism was a social movement in response to feudalism, monarchy, theocracy and a number of other very complex and different social structures. Capitalism is an economic system. Socialism is not. We know this because capitalism can operate in most social structures, whereas socialism IS the social structure.
Your comparison is misplaced. A more meaningful comparison would be between American capitalism and Soviet communism and their respective effects on the environment. However, your example of BP (whose actions you seem to approve of) is quite anti-capitalist in most respects and is more likely the result of socialism (social pressure) - BP was concerned primarily with their image rather than their stock price. Conversely, Mexican immunity is the result of capitalism without socialism.
Democratic socialism is thus one means of using social pressure to restrain naturally occurring excesses in the economic system.
