I’ve worked in the medical device industry my whole career and something is definitely up. Traditionally, the environment is hard core, work until you bleed, into the weekends, during Christmas dinner- do whatever it takes to make the numbers. For the last 6 months to a year, maybe longer, my company, along with almost every other one I know of is dealing with backorders... and no real plan to address them, as if it doesn’t matter. Aside from the constant corporate wokeness factor, I received CEO messaging that basically says to take Fridays off now. I have a friend at a competitive company who was recently given similar instructions to work less. Its as if we are winding down and preparing to close the doors. What’s going on?

This. It's become so evident to me that 95% of our health problems have been due to horribly toxic chemicals created by large chemical and food companies. Toxic chemicals found in our cleaning products, construction products, foods, drinks, hair products, body products, medicines, etc. As well as horribly detrimental foods containing processed carbs, sugars, and other chemicals.
There's probably more to it than just these things... but it's always mind boggling for me to look around and see that we have technology that can send packets through wires from one side of the Earth to the other in a matter of seconds, but we can't figure out what food is healthy for humans and what is causing a plethora of diseases such as cancer. I just don't buy it. Especially when if you solve the human-health problem, many industries (i.e. big pharma, healthcare, chemical) will lose out on the majority of their profits or potentially be sued into oblivion.
Spot-ON post. I go into stores now with an attitude of...”well, what WON’T KILL ME”??!!! A minor concern in my conspiratorial mind is if these Corps crumble, what’s their last gasp chess move? Scary times.
Exactly. America, where we are shutting down our entire country over a virus with 99.9% survival yet everyone has been just fine with fucking liquor stores and McDonalds on every street corner. Makes me fucking sick even thinking about all this. Big Pharma etc... I've been really looking into the water we drink, shower with and brush our teeth. Also, the vitamins I buy. How do I know they are really what I think I'm getting? Can I trust Kirkland brand at Costco to sell me quality Fish Oil? Probably not.
Half the buildings in the US have toxic mold in them. So many people with chronic illness have no idea how sick mold can make you. There are hundreds of different mold strains.
