You ever wonder why you can't eat just one chip? Or why chicken tastes different than it did decades ago? In this episode, I break down how the food industry engineered salt, sugar and fat to hit your brain's “bliss point,” how fast food reshaped American farming, and why profit became more important than public health. From factory-raised chickens to feedlot beef to grocery store manipulation, we're unpacking how the system was built—and what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: it's not a willpower problem. It's a design problem.IntroFoodSalt, Sugar, Fat and the Bliss PointSoda: The Original Thirst TrapHow fast food rewired American farmingProfitsWhat we can actually do as consumers?Music by Loghan LongoriaFollow us on instagram: Sergio Novoa My Limited View PodResources & Research:1.

Whoo BOY! This week's episode is packed with info and stats. How did the US healthcare system get so expensive and complicated? Is it still better than some form of universal care? Throwing a lot of history and stats at you today, and comparing our model to the healthcare models of some other countries to show that there are other ways. Ways far cheaper for the average citizen that work as well as ours.

Prices keep climbing, headlines keep blaring, and the advice too often boils down to “budget harder.” We take a different route. Together with writer and author Dana Miranda (You Don't Need a Budget), we unpack the real drivers of everyday money stress—policy choices, corporate incentives, and a media drumbeat that keeps our eyes on stock tickers instead of the forces setting our bills.We start with a clear-eyed look at the political landscape and why hope can still be rational. Courts and congressional dynamics matter, and they shape everything from student debt relief to labor protections. Then we connect those decisions to your cart total and your paycheck: how tariffs move through supply chains, why companies pass costs along with newfound boldness, and how the shareholder-first mandate degrades product quality while prices rise. If you've felt the “inshittification” of services and tech, you're not imagining things.From there, we get personal. Job instability and AI anxiety create a season where savings dip, credit climbs, and retirement contributions pause. Instead of shame, we offer emotional finance: self-compassion, clear priorities, and small wins that restore energy and control. We talk about when stress spending is a signal, not a sin; what truly moves the needle (income, housing, healthcare); and how to build a simple safety plan without turning your life into a spreadsheet. And yes, we make the case for voting as a tangible financial action—because policy, not lattes, is the lever that changes the math for working people.If you're tired of being told your coffee is the problem, tune in for a humane, practical reset. Then share this with a friend who needs a little hope and a lot less shame.

Internal medicine and pulmonary physician Bharat Desai discusses his article "How Acthar Gel became a $250,000 drug." Bharat shares the shocking moment he realized an obsolete pituitary extract from 1952 was being sold for the price of a house. He explains how pharmaceutical companies exploited regulatory loopholes to reclassify a cheap animal derivative as a specialty biologic and effectively monopolize the market despite the existence of superior synthetic alternatives like prednisone. The conversation exposes the deep rot within the medical profession where key opinion leaders and institutions accepted industry funding to promote a physiological absurdity over evidence-based care. We must question how intellectual surrender allows corporate greed to exploit the very patients doctors are sworn to protect. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Scarcity is not accidental—it is engineered. From Venezuela to Texas, corporate extraction enriches elites while communities suffer. Progressives now have both the moral clarity and political opening to fight back. Arturo Dominguez discusses. #PDRK

The ‘Greedflation' line is back, only it isn't coming from Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Joe Biden. With beef prices up nearly +13 percent over the last year, many are wondering why, and many are providing answers that don't pass the smell test. Fortunately for those of us on the Capital Record, first principles go a long way toward helping us sort this out.

Summary: In this episode, John R. DiJulius III and Denise Thompson discuss the importance of taking time for personal growth through sabbaticals, the evolving job market dynamics leading to a trend of loyalty among employees, the stark contrast in compensation between CEOs and average workers, and the philosophy surrounding wealth and generosity. They explore how societal expectations and corporate practices shape our understanding of success and responsibility. Takeways: Taking a sabbatical can lead to personal and professional growth. The job market is shifting towards valuing employee loyalty over job hopping. CEO compensation has drastically outpaced worker wages, raising concerns about corporate greed. Generosity and giving back can lead to a more fulfilling life than hoarding wealth. The concept of stakeholder capitalism is gaining traction but lacks meaningful implementation. Economic trends show that staying in a job may now be more beneficial than switching for higher pay. The disparity in wealth distribution is a pressing issue that needs addressing. Corporate practices often prioritize shareholder wealth over employee welfare. Generosity should be a priority for those who have achieved financial success. The conversation around wealth and its responsibilities is evolving.

How will mass immigration and the flood of H-1B visas reshape America's workforce, wages, and even our culture? And what about the wild rumors circulating online that President Trump has died?

Send us a textRemember when action movies had substance? RoboCop wasn't just an explosive sci-fi flick about a cyborg cop—it was a prescient vision of our future.Watching Paul Verhoeven's 1987 masterpiece today feels eerily prophetic. Long before our current concerns about facial recognition technology, corporate control of public services, and media desensitization to violence, RoboCop was laying it all out with remarkable accuracy. What makes this film truly special is how it balances biting social satire with genuinely thrilling action sequences that still hold up decades later.The practical effects deserve special mention—from the horrific toxic waste scene to Clarence Boddicker's spectacularly bloody demise, these moments remain seared into viewers' memories. Speaking of Boddicker, Kurtwood Smith's performance stands out as remarkably ahead of its time, feeling contemporary even by today's standards. Nancy Allen's portrayal of Officer Lewis also deserves recognition for avoiding the typical female action character tropes of the era—no forced romance, no unnecessary sexualization, just a competent cop who happens to be a woman.What truly elevates RoboCop is Verhoeven's outsider perspective as a Dutch director examining American culture. The film's commercial breaks and news segments might seem like quirky additions, but they build a rich dystopian world while delivering sharp commentary on media, consumerism, and violence. This film isn't just worth seeing—it's essential viewing that rewards multiple watches with new details and insights each time. Whether you're revisiting this classic or experiencing it for the first time, you'll understand why we both rated it 4.5/5 stars without hesitation.

In 2018 my newspaper died. Well, actually, the emaciated carcass of the Austin American Statesman still had a feeble pulse. But its journalistic voice and soul were gone, stripped out by the notorious financial predators of Gannett, the huge media conglomerate that had recently bought the paper.Happily, though, the Statesman has made a near-miraculous recovery, thanks to a small-but-feisty band of actual journalists who believe in local newspapers. They fought Gannett bosses tenaciously, gaining a voice by forming a union, striking, and finally compelling the giant to sign a union contract. Victory!Uh… not yet. Just months later, Gannett sold the newspaper to Hearst, another massive media conglomerate. This new relationship started well, but soon turned sour when Hearst honchos abruptly refused to honor the paper's contract with the union. Then they began firing employees and jacking around with the newsroom's healthcare and retirement benefits. Adding pettiness to greed, Hearst honchos even refused to let Statesman journalists take a holiday that corporate managers get. What the hell?Bear in mind that Hearst is a phenomenally profitable, $13-billion-a-year, multi-media behemoth. It's CEO, Steven Swartz, pockets millions of dollars a year and lives in luxury. Also, Austin is a booming media market worth gazillions to Hearst! No need to be so pathetically mingy!So, the hardy members of the Austin News Guild are back doing what working people have to do – organizing and mobilizing for a little more justice. “We're no strangers to the petty tactics of corporate elites,” they say, so the guild is relaunching its grassroots campaign to battle the b******s, fight for fairness, and protect local news.

This week, I'll be discussing the shortcomings of the current healthcare system, especially the prevalence of symptom suppression through medication rather than addressing root causes of illness. I recently had a personal experience advocating for a family member in an emergency room that really got me thinking about issues with over-medication and unnecessary procedures. We'll also take a look at the pharmaceutical industry, particularly generic drugs from India and China, and the influence of corporate interests on medical practices. Finally we'll talk about finding healthcare providers who prioritize patient outcomes over profit.You can find the images from today's episode "Exposing the Flaws in Our Healthcare System" here:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/images-from-triangle-of-health/Gluten Sensitive?  Take the quiz & Join Our Community ▶https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-sensitivity-intolerance-self-test/Get my quick start guide on going gluten free: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/how-to-go-gluten-free/Nutritional Crash Courses Playlist: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/nutritionGet Gluten Free Supplements: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop-home/No Grain No Pain the Book: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/NoGrainNoPainGlutenology Masterclass (Ultimate Guide): https://glutenology.net/registrationTo connect with Dr. Osborne visit:On the web: https://drpeterosborne.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterOsborne/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/docosborne/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drosborneTwitter: https://twitter.com/glutenologyRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3908832Podcast:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-osbornes-zone/id1706389688?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Zdf07GgpRAVwlSsYvirXTAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/20d71b2e-3554-4569-9d5b-4259785cdc94Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTkwNjcwNC9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkiHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/119388846*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Dark Waters (2019), directed by Todd Haynes, tells the real-life story of how a lawyer, Rob Bilott (Mark Ruffalo), waged a twenty-year battle to hold the DuPont corporation accountable for contaminating a local water supply with carcinogenic chemicals that poisoned tens of thousands of people. While Bilott is ultimately able to achieve some degree of compensation and justice for the victims, the film shows the challenges of litigating against a powerful company bent on denying responsibility and covering up its misconduct.  Timestamps:0:00       Introduction2:35        The origins: a small case for a family friend back home6:24        Teflon and the “miracle” chemical10:24      How attorney Rob Bilott uncovers the pollution13:49      Getting the Taft firm on board21:50      Addressing the legal challenges in the case 24:30     Medical monitoring and causation in toxic tort cases28:36      Divisions in the community, financial pressures, and client management30:30     DuPont's clout35:14       Bellwether trials: trying the cases in court39:44      What the litigation achieved and the continued challenges46:27      The risks of “forever chemicals”49:50      Developments since the film was released55:43      Can the legal system deliver justice?1:01:53    Some further developmentsFurther reading:Bilott, Robert, Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer's Twenty-Year Battle against DuPont (Atria Books 2019)Carucci, Rob, “Leadership Lessons from Rob Bilott's 20 Year Battle for Justice Against DuPont,” Forbes (July 12, 2021)Nevitt, Mark P. & Percival, Robert V., “Can Environmental Law Solve the ‘Forever Chemical' Problem,” 57 Wake Forest L.

Devil's urine. That's what Dupont employees called PFAS. These toxic, human made forever chemicals are now in the blood of almost every human on the planet. They are found in drinking water around the world, even Antarctica. And they are used in a broad range of consumer products, like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant clothing, waterproof items, dental floss, and even medical masks. These are only a few examples of many. This group of toxic chemicals, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), permanently concentrates in your body and the environment. You can't get rid of them. In fact, they bioaccumulate, meaning they get worse and worse. The public awareness from uncovering of the truth behind Dupont's misdeeds now contaminating much of the planet is tantamount to this generation's Silent Spring. Our guest Rob Bilott is very much a Rachel Carson sort of figure who has stood up to the chemical industry as the lead attorney to bring light to the dangers of PFAS and its many variations. He fought and won a 20+ year battle against Dupont for the poisoning of over 70,000 people in West Virginia and Ohio. His work was even captured in the 2019 feature film, Dark Waters where he was portrayed by Mark Ruffalo. Rob has continued his groundbreaking work and is looking at the potential of a nationwide class action lawsuit as newer versions of PFAS emerge, unregulated and as dangerous as ever. In this interview from Summer 2022, we explore the history of PFAS, what exposure means, where it can be found, and what we can do. Rob Bilott is a partner in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky offices of the law firm, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP [https://www.taftlaw.com/people/robert-a-bilott], where he has practiced in the Environmental and Litigation Groups for over 31 years. During that time, Rob has handled and led some of the most novel and complex cases in the country involving damage from exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), including the first individual, class action, mass tort, and multi-district litigation proceedings concerning the toxic chemical, recovering over $1 billion for impacted clients. In 2017, Rob received the Right Livelihood Award, known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize,” for his decades of work on behalf of those injured by PFAS chemical contamination. Rob is the author of the book, “Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer's Twenty-Year Battle Against DuPont,” [https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Exposure/Robert-Bilott/9781501172823] and his story is the inspiration for the 2019 motion picture, “Dark Waters,” starring Mark Ruffalo. Rob's story and work is also featured in the documentary, “The Devil We Know.” Jessica Aldridge, Co-Host and Producer of EcoJustice Radio, is an environmental educator, community organizer, and 15-year waste industry leader.

This week on CodeWACK! Medicare for All is back in the spotlight! With two new bills recently introduced in Congress, what makes these proposals different from earlier versions— and why are some advocates feeling hopeful, even in the current political climate? What would a truly public, universal health care system look like, and how could it help curb the soaring costs, corporate greed, and bureaucracy plaguing our current system? To unpack this, we spoke with Rachel Madley, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the Center for Health and Democracy. A former health policy advisor to Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal — lead sponsor of the House Medicare for All bill — Rachel helped shape and reintroduce the landmark legislation in 2023. She's also a former FDA staffer and holds a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Columbia University, where she was active in both Physicians for a National Health Program and Students for a National Health Program.

Family nurse practitioner Bettina Reed discusses her article, "The hidden crisis in health care: How corporate greed is destroying patient care." Drawing from four decades of experience across hospitals, private practices, FQHCs, hospice, and corporate medicine, Bettina shares a powerful account of how the health care system has been dismantled by corporate interests. She details how profit-driven practices—ranging from insurance denials and billing pressures to rising drug costs and privatization—have harmed patients, pushed out providers, and contributed to burnout and workplace violence. Bettina offers insight into alternative models of care and urges the public to reclaim health care from those who exploit it for gain. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, joins Patrick Bet-David to discuss his journey from ice cream mogul to activist. Once a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter, Cohen now backs Elon Musk's DOGE, challenging big government waste. In this fiery exchange, capitalism vs. socialism takes center stage as Cohen rethinks his stance on government.

In this class, I'm talking about corporate greed vs. capitalism. I saw a post on X (you know, what we used to call Twitter) about Chipotle raising their prices, making big profits, giving their CEO a huge bonus, and saving money in stocks. People were calling it “corporate greed,” but it got me thinking—doesn't that just sound like capitalism? Isn't that what companies are supposed to do? I wanted to figure out why we call some companies greedy and others just good at business. After digging into it, I've got some thoughts to share. Let's break it down together. Show Notes: [05:47]#1 The distinction between corporate greed and capitalism lies in intent, ethics and the broader impact of business practices. [15:47]#2 Every business is designed with the idea of creating value, exchanging that value for money. That's the purpose of having a business. [23:50]#3 Corporate greed is about short term thinking, prioritizing immediate profits over long term sustainability or societal well being.  [31:07]Recap Episodes Mentioned 2605: The Satanic Attack On Language Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre's Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!
