An yet, fertility rates are dropping world wide, cancer rates and obesity are increasing

Sugar should have a dis-honorable mention here. Remember the board is *legally* obliged to produce a profit for investors and until harm to human health is in the realm of plausible deniability they will continue to do so. Make legal consequences for boards and things will change.

all things you could expect to happen from something that can have a hormonal and endrocrine disrupting effects in the body - which microplastics most definitely have shown to have.

Ahhh the human body, such a profitable place to dispose of many waste products.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

They're brilliant at making games. They have their suite of exclusives that people love and will buy the console for. And they keep a consistently high quality bar for those games. Even the worst Mario game was still good. Same for Zelda. Same for Metroid. As long as they keep that the case, and their consoles are reasonably priced they'll sell. Which, combined with cheaper parts, is why they generally made a profit per console rather than a loss.

Xbox and PS don't have that. They used to each have some exclusives- but they've gone away from that road due to the high cost of creating them (Nintendo's focus on gameplay over high end graphics also reduced the cost of making a game). Even the exclusives they do have don't have the reputation for quality- they tend to run hot and cold. And MS in particular has waffled between wanting to push xbox vs PC gaming, reducing the number of exclusives as they launch on PC. It leaves them in a place where there's no driver for their new product other than better graphics quality. And with the economy tightening, that's something that will be dropped first.

Iran was basically where we are plus optional and waning headscarves when we did a coup.

Islamic states have a horrendous record of human rights violations. US citizens have more constitutional human right than many countries other than the UK and Iran isn't even on the list. Islam's treatment of women and homosexuals is so bad that seeing women and homosexuals ignorantly professing their support for Islam is offensive to any person who, like me, has spent time fighting for human rights. The ignorance in their position reduces human rights for all because it erodes the rights of two groups of humans, men and children.

In *Western* countries women already have more rights than men and children so creating gender parity with human rights means granting MORE rights to men and children, for example increasing their bodily autonomy and access to services so it is similar to the rights women have.

To bring it back to the conversation we are having; Corporations should not have human rights at all. Human rights are for humans.

Umm.. do you see any MBAs at all the violent protests ?

No, what we see is the right completely abandoning the position of defending men's and family right in exchange for votes. Useful idiots, for a different master and no better than the arts / liberal arts / DEI studies people you criticize. Same tactic the Oil and Coal industry used to pit Greenpeace against the Nuclear industry.

As for Islamist's MBAs are all for them when they bring in the oil dollars.
