If you read the story, the actual culprits here are big agribusinesses contaminating the groundwater through nitrates in their fertilizers. That's where the cancer is coming from.
Insane that the headline and this piece essentially let them completely off the hook!

It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

This is probably barely a real or meaningful thing in actuality and it will still easily function as rage bait over here inspiring lengthy self important posts where sone of you guys go on and on about how it represents the problem w Dems etc
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

This is a good example of current problem with our pundit class and their tendency to see the very idea of being “provocative” in positive terms when often (as in this case) it’s just someone really just dumbing down an issue/situation.
A provocative take on the situation in Ukraine from novelist Barry Eisler. Worth a read even if you disagree (and maybe worth more if that’s the case): barryeisler.substack.com/p/how-it-end...
How it Ends in Ukraine--and Why
To understand the plot, you have to understand the characters.

One of the most surreal aspects of the 2024 campaign was how everyone just ignored the fact that Trump was president from 2017 to 2021 and pretended like all the drone strikes and assassinations and pardoned war criminals just never happened.

Meanwhile, even if a reader takes the time to click on and read the article, they still have to scroll past two ads and a list of related stories to get to the "okay but" paragraph explaining that real scientists are highly skeptical of these new FDA claims.

They believe that Trump will use the formal powers of the government and whatever informal powers he may have to extract costs from them if they do not play ball and they equally believe that the anti-Trump coalition will not extract these costs.
So we need to extract those costs.

given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November

I have been periodically saying this for a while, but the movie is far more compatible with the worldview of the knuckle-draggers than most people think
Rewatching Sicario for the first time in 6 or 7 years.
I’m reminded of how easy it might be for some 22 y/o to watch this movie and join CBP thinking that if they play their cards right they’re going to be an operator fighting cartels rather than kidnapping construction workers off of the street.
