They studied people who were having 2 drinks or less per day. The higher the lifetime consumption of alcohol the lower the cerebral blood flow especially in older age.

If the stupid US laws don’t persecute this war criminal, international court should. There’s more than enough evidence.

As I suggested in my comment in https://lemmy.world/c/nootropics, a remedy could be use of ATP boosters such as creatine.

Creatine, a naturally occurring compound known for its role in energy metabolism, has long been used as a dietary supplement to boost physical performance. It plays a key role in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy source for cells, which is critical for maintaining optimal cellular function…

China has to speak from both sides of the mouth. Iran is a client and source of its oil. US is a client and source of its $1 trillion dollar trade surplus. China needs both of them.

This demented senior is using grade school yard bully methods. lol

Here’s the play: Trump forced embargos on Venezuela oil that made Venezuela-owned CITGO refineries designed to refine Venezuelan oil unprofitable. US Courts forced sale of CITGO assets, Singer swooped in and bought them for $5.9billion, a third of its $18billion value (oil refineries are very expensive to build). 2 months later, Trump attacks Venezuela, removes Maduro and Venezuelan oil is legal again. Presto! Instant profit in billions!!!

There are a quite a few inexpensive options for prevention of dementia that are much cheaper than this.

Not to mention that the original research on amyloid beta has now been proven to have been “doctored” and quite conclusively at that, why they continue to pursue drugs that clear it behooves me. Literally throwing billions of dollars into trash.

This was some years ago - even before the first Trump presidency - I read a perfectly reasonable sounding piece from someone about how he’s struggling as a dual-income family making $400,000 a year. There’s the mortgage for the house and the summer home and the vacation condo and the kids’ tuitions at prestigious schools and family vacations and the 401ks and the kids’ college tuition funds and how there was NOTHING LEFT after the bare necessities!

I want to make a clarification here before we all get too far ahead with “16% of GDP”. There are many things wrong with the way giant tech companies dominate their respective fields. However the value of a company does not equal its’ share of the GDP. GDP is the OUTPUT of a country in 1 year. It does not equal the value of all the private enterprises combined which is what this comparison is trying to do. What we want to compare then, is to take NVIDIA’s output in ONE YEAR and see how much of the economy it dominates. US GDP is ~ 30 trillion in 2025. Nvidia’s output or revenue for current fiscal year is ~ $200 billion. That’s 0.6% of the GDP. That’s far cry from 16%, by about 27 times less.

What we should be concerned are the size of the market cap of these giant tech companies dominating the total value of the stock market, as well as the monopolistic margins these companies enjoy. All of these contribute to the imbalances in the world we see today - in the economies, in the society and social structure, and in politics. Communism once rose two centuries ago in protest against the concentration of power in the hands of a few. A solution is needed to remedy the imbalances of today.

Trump: (I) Made America Ass Again.

It’s not even going to this - publishers are pulling games, tv series and movies for various reasons.

This is essentially adding another layer of tax or tariffs on imports, and more impediments to global trade. Basically, Trump is determined to stall trade with the world and fuck the economy.

It’s a metaphor, not “literal” army. And it is in the millions. Many are unseen as they come out when the streets are empty doing the garbage picking and cleaning, etc.

Japan is relying more and more on a shadow army of millions of imported foreign workers that is slowly changing its populace. Japan could see a right wing backlash to the changing demographics at some point as we’ve seen in Europe.

This is so stupid. He announce tariffs, markets tank. He pauses, markets rebound. He then imposes tariffs, markets tank. He pauses… oh he’s jerking off everyone. got it.

LOL Trump wanted to keep this “trade war” to goods only. He never mentioned the surplus US has in services trade. This will really hurt US below the belt.
