The Legal System is Wrong
In April, I was depressed. Not only did I turn 53 years old after a divorce from a 12 year marriage, I was broke, overweight, jobless, on a poor disability check, and lonely as hell. I was desperate for attention. I wasn't on any medication and whether I was hearing the voices (that often talk with me especially when no one else is around) or I wasn't hearing them, I was so depressed I was crying more often than is normal for me. I felt trapped and like the whole world had abandoned me. I reached out to the suicide hotline (988) and when I said some ridiculous overdramatic nonsense, they called the police. The police then baker-acted me and I was hospitalized for two weeks. Do you think that cured my depression? No. It made things even worse.

Boycotts work, but they won't save the planet
Since October the 7th 2023, masses of people have divested their consumer interest in various brands and companies around the world, due those companies’ links, both implicitly and explicitly to Israel’s Defence Forces (IDF). This Divestment from Consumers is known as “Boycotting” which is the act of protest wherein consumers collectively avoid spending money at those companies in order to impact the shareholder price and force them to change a political stance that they have taken. This ability to influence the value of a company is one of the arguments in favour of the Stock Market, because as the company’s revenue drops, as will their stock price, which will force investors to divest from shares of said companies.

The Marketing of Economics
When we think of Marketing we typically think of the everyday items that get pushed into our psyche's from billboards to much more recently, our "For you" pages on various Social Media platforms. But Marketing is very much so a part of our day to day lives, even within items that we've already bought. The common person would think that once an item is sold, that item doesn't need to do much in the way of upselling anything else but unfortunately, that isn't true.

It’s Black History Month. Top Story - February 2024.
It’s Black History Month. “I don't even know what that means.” I took this previous sentence from a mostly white oriented film, Blades of Glory (2007) that made the phrase ever more popular in the culture. The phrase found its way on a hip hop song with the clean title, “In Paris” by Shawn “JAY Z” Carter and the artist formerly known as Kanye West, Ye.
