Får du den løn du fortjener? I den økonomiske ideal verden med fuldkommen konkurrence vil din løn (lidt løst sagt) være den værdi du skaber for din arbejdsgiver. Men har vi fuldkommen konkurrence, eller har din arbejdsgiver har magt til at presse lønnen lavere end, hvad du egentlig er værd? Og hvis ja, hvilken rolle spiller fagforeninger for arbejdsmarkedet? Det er vigtige spørgsmål, ikke bare for vores følelse af retfærdighed, men også for effektiviteten af samfundsøkonomien som helhed. I den nyeste forårsrapport fra De Økonomiske Råd undersøger de spørgsmålet om markedsmagt, løn fagforeninger på det danske arbejdsmarked. For at lære mere er Sange om merværdi taget ud for at snakke med Jakob Roland Munch, økonomisk vismand og professor på Københavns Universitet.

You may think of allergies as causing sniffly noses and congestion in the spring or fall. But allergies can go far beyond that. As Dr. Kari Nadeau points out in this episode, allergies can affect us from head to toe, including eyes, nose, throat, lungs, sinuses, skin and gut. In the most dangerous instances, the whole body is threatened with an anaphylactic reaction. That's a medical emergency! One in three Americans will develop allergies at some point in our lives, so it's important to know what works to control them. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment. How You Can Listen You could listen through your local public radio station or get the live stream at 7 am EST on Saturday, June 6, 2026, through your computer or smart phone (wunc.org). Here is a link so you can find which stations carry our broadcast. (Welcome, Huntsville, Alabama!) If you can't listen to the broadcast, you may wish to hear the podcast later. You can subscribe through your favorite podcast provider, download the mp3 using the link at the bottom of the page, or listen to the stream on this post starting on June 8, 2026. What Are Allergies? We begin our discussion of your allergy survival guide with an explanation of what is happening during an allergic reaction. The immune system perceives some foreign compound, usually a protein, as dangerous even though normally it would not be. So it reacts by trying to flush the invader out by producing extra mucus. The turbinate sinuses can make one to two gallons of mucus a day, and naturally, it has to go somewhere. That's why you might be congested. Having all that mucus in the sinuses can also encourage bacterial growth, so if the allergic reaction persists, some people have to deal with sinus infections. Emergency Treatment In determining what works, you need to know the nature of the reaction. If you have two or more organs involved, if you are having trouble breathing or if you feel dizzy, you may be in the midst of an anaphylactic reaction. What works for that is an epinephrine injection and immediate medical attention. This is potentially life-threatening, so you will want to figure out what triggered the reaction so you can avoid it in the future. Once someone has suffered one anaphylactic reaction, they should keep epinephrine with them at all times in case of another episode. Epinephrine comes as a self-injector pen or a nasal spray (neffy). Can You Spot Drug Allergies? In the warnings that are rattled off as part of a TV ad for a pricey new drug, we often hear viewers cautioned not to take the medicine if they are allergic to it. That sounds like simple common sense, but it also has a Catch 22 quality. How do you know you are allergic to a medication unless you take it–and experience an allergic reaction for which you might need treatment. Most of these presumably are immune system-mediated reactions, in which the body produces IgE. That is how allergies to penicillin or sulfa drugs work. Some drugs cause a different type of reaction, not IgE-mediated but dangerous nonetheless. Lisinopril is the most commonly prescribed blood pressure medicine in this country. Like other ACE (ACE is short for angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor medications, lisinopril can trigger angioedema. This swelling can affect the face, lips, tongue and throat, where it can compromise breathing. The most insidious aspect of this reaction is that it can occur after the person has been taking the drug without problems for weeks, months or even years. “Red man syndrome” or infusion reactions in people taking vancomycin can likewise occur without warning. The last type of drug reaction is not actually an allergy at all, although people occasionally use that terminology. It is better described as sensitivity. For example, a stomachache is a common reaction to the antibiotic erythromycin. Some people are disabled by this abdominal pain and try to limit their exposure to erythromycin thereafter. What Works and What Doesn't? Since the immune system is acting inappropriately to cause allergic reactions, treatment should involve immunotherapy. Eye drops can help eyes feel less itchy and irritated. Likewise, OTC nose drops or nasal sprays can often help the nose. The corticosteroid Flonase (fluticasone) and the antihistamine Astepro (azelastine) are good examples. During allergy season, some people find that a daily nasal wash (with a neti pot or NeilMed device) can help reduce the mucus and remove the allergens such as pollen causing the reaction. There are also oral antihistamines and inhalers for asthma. For decades now, allergists have offered their patients shots to help desensitize them to the allergen causing their trouble. Joe had these as a child and teenager and has been largely free of allergies since. Not everyone gets such lasting relief. Complications from Current Therapies Medications have side effects, and that is true of allergy medicines as with other drugs. Antihistamines, especially the older ones like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), are notorious for causing drowsiness. That's one reason it is often included in nighttime pain relievers as the “PM” in drugs like Advil PM. We worry about regular use of such antihistamines because it has been linked to a greater risk for dementia. A second-generation antihistamine such as Allegra (fexofenadine) is much less likely to make someone feel sleepy. However, Dr. Nadeau has seen patients on antihistamines suffer worse allergies if they stop suddenly. The People's Pharmacy has received hundreds of reports from people who experienced unbearable itching upon discontinuing Zyrtec (cetirizine) or Xyzal (levocetirizine). This can last for weeks. Doctors don't usually worry much about steroid nasal sprays like Flonase because they are topical. Presumably, nasal tissues pick up most of the dose. Just the same, using such a nose spray day after day for a long time could result in systemic steroid exposure that is not trivial. Stronger Medicine Dr. Nadeau is enthusiastic about the benefits of two potent prescription medicines. One is Xolair (omalizumab). It was originally developed to prevent asthma, but is now approved for chronic sinusitis, food allergies and chronic hives. Paradoxically, Xolair is one of those medicines that could cause a severe allergic reaction even on the first dose, so the FDA warns that the initial injection should be given in a healthcare setting prepared to treat anaphylaxis. This is uncommon, though, occurring in 0.1 to 0.2% of patients. The other medication Dr. Nadeau is prescribing for allergy patients who don't respond well to other treatments is Dupixent (dupilumab). The FDA has approved this medicine to treat a wide range of conditions, including eczema, asthma, chronic sinusitis, allergic reactions affecting the esophagus and chronic hives, among other things. Most insurance companies will not cover this pricey injection unless the patient has failed all other therapies. Fighting Air Pollution: What Works Air pollution makes allergy symptoms worse, so using an effective air filter inside the home is a good step. A HEPA (high-efficiency particulate-arresting) filter is ideal, especially as part of the air-handling system. If that's not possible, utilizing a MERV 13 in the part of the home where you spend the most time is a good second choice. Sonu One new option for treating allergies is acoustic resonance therapy with the SoundHealth Sonu headband. It uses vibration from sound to loosen mucus from the sinuses so that they can clear. The FDA has approved its use for children as well as adults. New research was just published demonstrating its helpfulness in treating children with nasal congestion (Oto-Open, April-June 2026). SoundHealth has underwritten The People's Pharmacy podcast. Dr. Nadeau has also been compensated for her role in conducting studies of this device (International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology, Dec. 2025). Since it does not employ medications, there are no drug side effects. This Week’s Guest Kari C. Nadeau, M.D., Ph.D., is Dean of the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health ( starting July 1 2026). Until then, she holds many other positions. At Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health she is: John Rock Professor of Climate and Population Studies; Chair of the Department of Environmental Health; and Director of the Allergy, Extreme Weather, and Exposomics Lab. Dr. Nadeau is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and serves in the Division of Allergy and Inflammation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She is an Adjunct Professor at Stanford Medical School. Dr. Nadeau is also the co-author of The End of Food Allergy, which provides strategies for treating and preventing food allergies in children. Here is a link to the research underway in her Harvard laboratory.

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie is joined by Eric Ruggles, Director of Engineering at Ritchie Engineering Co., Inc. (YELLOW JACKET), to discuss the key differences between airflow and static pressure and how to measure both correctly. Eric explains how airflow is calculated using air velocity and duct size, while static pressure is measured across system components to understand system performance. The conversation covers tools like hot wire anemometers and manometers, along with proper testing methods such as duct traversing and pressure tip placement. Gary and Eric also explore common issues like high static pressure caused by poor duct design, dirty filters, or oversized equipment, and how these problems can impact overall system efficiency. In this conversation, Eric explains the differences between airflow and static pressure in HVAC systems and how each one is measured. He describes how airflow is based on air speed and duct size, while static pressure shows how much resistance the system has. Eric and Gary discuss tools like hot wire anemometers and manometers, along with proper testing methods such as duct traversing and pressure tip placement. They also cover how issues like dirty filters, poor duct design, and system restrictions can raise static pressure and reduce overall system performance and airflow. Expect to Learn: How airflow and static pressure differ and why both matter in HVAC systems. How to use tools like hot wire anemometers and manometers for proper testing. How duct traversing helps get accurate airflow measurements. How static pressure testing can identify restrictions in filters and ductwork.

It's Festive Friday and we've got a heartwarming rom-com! ABOUT MERV When their beloved dog Merv loses his spark after their split, Anna and Russ are forced into the world's most awkward co-parenting arrangement. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MERV December 10, 2025 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF MERV Director: Jessica Swale Cast: Zooey Deschanel as Anna Finch Charlie Cox as Russ Owens Ellyn Jameson BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We meet Merv, a dog owned by Russ and Anna. The problem is Russ and Anna are no longer together, so Merv bounces back and forth between them. Russ is a teacher and Anna is an eye doctor. But bad news - Merv doesn't seem to be doing well. They meet up to bring him to the vet to check on him. Turns out, he's depressed. Russ decides he's gonna take Merv on a sunny vacation. That'll cheer him up. Turns out, it doesn't. So Anna decides to join them by just showing up. Merv's mood begins to improve now that his people are together. They all go to a dog party and Anna gets jealous of Russ's chemistry with the party's host Jocelyn, and Russ gets jealous of Jocelyn's brother flirting with Anna. A dog healer is at the party - basically a dog psychic. It doesn't go well and it leads to Anna deciding she's going to leave. He convinces her to stay longer and good thing he did cuz they start having a real good time! They end up going to visit his family and it goes well. He tells her he proposed to her because he loved her, not to try to fix things. Back at the dog resort, Russ goes to hang out with Jocelyn and she ends up kissing him but he pulls away. Why? Because he still loves Anna. So he goes to drink by himself and falls asleep on the beach. He wakes up trying to find Merv but he's nowhere to be found until Anna walks up on the beach with him. He found her. They hash things out about why they broke up - he explains how she shut him out when she found out that she is infertile. She explains that she forgot how much fun they had together and this trip has reminded her of this. She asks if they can start over but Russ isn't sure if he can do that again. What if things go bad again? After their trip, Russ leaves her sole custody of Merv because he thinks one home will make Merv happier. Russ is sad. So he decides to go to the shelter and get a new dog and get some glasses. He's still sad, so he takes his dog for a walk, and wouldn't you know it - they bump into Anna and Merv.

To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/eK-WIS7inMUIn this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry talk with Steve Rogers, President of The Energy Conservatory (TEC), about the science behind home performance and why so many HVAC systems fall short of expectations. Steve shares TEC's journey from early prototypes to industry‑standard testing tools and explains how comfort, moisture, and efficiency issues often stem from the building envelope. The conversation dives into blower doors, airflow testing, duct leakage, furnace short‑cycling, restrictive filters, oversized systems, and the key measurements inspectors and homeowners commonly miss, offering practical insights for homeowners, inspectors, HVAC technicians, and building‑science enthusiasts alike.You can check out The Energy Conservatory website here: www.energyconservatory.comTakeawaysTEC manufactures tools that measure building airtightness, duct leakage, and airflow—core metrics for diagnosing home performance issues.Blower door testing became essential because leaky houses waste energy, cause comfort issues, and contribute to attic moisture problems.Early blower door prototypes were expensive and slow; TEC revolutionized the field with affordable, efficient models.Airflow is one of the hardest HVAC metrics to measure accurately; TEC's TruFlow Grid helps techs commission systems properly.Most furnaces and ACs are never tested for correct airflow after installation, which leads to early equipment failure and poor efficiency.High temperature rise = low airflow. This often causes the furnace to hit its high‑limit switch and shut off prematurely.Oversizing is rampant—many homes have furnaces 1.5–2× larger than needed, increasing noise, inefficiency, and comfort issues.Filter restrictions depend on pressure drop, not just MERV rating. Pleat depth and surface area matter more than the number printed on the label.3M Filtrete filters maintain reasonable pressure drops because they add pleats as MERV levels increase.The most important starting point in energy upgrades is a blower door test, not HVAC replacement.Older homes—especially balloon‑framed houses—are extremely leaky and need targeted air‑sealing.Complicated house shapes (L‑shaped, multi‑level splits, many dormers) are typically leakier than simple rectangular designs.Many contractors still do not measure airflow or static pressure, causing repeat callbacks and inefficiency.TEC's tools and apps help HVAC techs commission systems properly—reducing callbacks and improving system performance.Homeowners can access subsidized energy audits through utilities, often including blower door and infrared inspections.Chapters00:00 — Introduction and Guest Welcome02:00 — Steve's Background & The Origin of The Energy Conservatory05:00 — How Blower Doors Were Invented & Early Challenges08:00 — Engineers, Inventors & TEC's Company Culture11:00 — Advances in Airflow Testing: TruFlow Grid Explained15:00 — Why Airflow Is Critical for Furnace & AC Efficiency17:00 — Temperature Rise, High‑Limit Switches & Furnace Cycling20:00 — Common Installation Issues & What Inspectors Should Look For22:00 — The Truth About Furnace Filters & Pressure Drop26:00 — Oversizing Problems & Proper Equipment Matching31:00 — Why Most Homes Have Comfort Problems (and How to Fix Them)35:00 — Blower Door Testing as the First Step in Home Performance38:00 — Moisture, Attic Frost & Air Leakage Pathways41:00 — Styles of Homes That Tend to Be Leakier44:00 — Balloon Framing vs. Platform Framing47:00 — Why the Industry Changes Slowly & The Role of Training52:00 — How Homeowners Can Learn More & Access Energy Audits53:00 — Closing Tho

This week, Tee welcomes Paul Kealey, founder of EkoBuilt, for a grounded conversation on why "the house is medicine." Paul explains how many conventional homes are built vapor-closed yet leaky, trapping moisture inside walls and roofs and creating long-term mold exposure that quietly degrades indoor air quality, stresses the immune system, and impacts overall health. The episode traces Paul's journey from teacher to builder and how discovering the Passive House Institute standard fundamentally changed his approach to home design. Together, they break down practical, achievable steps for improving existing homes—testing air and dust for mold and VOCs, integrating ERV/HRV ventilation, upgrading to MERV 13+ filtration, and sealing leaks with tools like Aeroseal, all aimed at reducing the cumulative "home hangover" caused by stacked environmental stressors. Tee and Paul also explore often-overlooked issues such as elevated overnight bedroom CO₂ levels, humidity imbalance, and wildfire resilience. Citing findings from the Harvard Healthy Buildings Institute, Kealey explains how poor indoor air can impair sleep quality and cognitive function. The conversation closes with a clear takeaway: healthier homes aren't about perfection, but about thoughtful design choices that steadily improve comfort, resilience, and long-term health.

Relying on a fixed calendar schedule for HVAC filter changes could be actively draining your facility's budget and increasing energy costs. This time-based approach often leads to filters being changed too early or too late, both of which are expensive mistakes.This episode reveals the crucial data point you should use—the optimal 'sweet spot' for replacement based on pressure drop—and explains why visually checking for dirt is dangerously subjective. We also demystify the MERV rating, focusing on the critical detail that truly protects occupants and equipment, not just the sticker price.Joining us is Jon Holmes, a specialist from Camfil. With over a decade of experience, Jon has spent years helping facility managers bridge the gap between complex engineering principles and practical, breathable air solutions.THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUTGoals of filter maintenance and replacementOptimal filter change is double pressure dropVisual dirt checks are subjective and unreliableMedia, area, shape affects filter lifespanWhy the MERV-A rating is crucialGUEST DETAILS Jon Holmes serves as a specialist at Camfil.

We spend about 90% of our time indoors. But what's actually in that air we breathe, and why does it matter so much for people with asthma, allergies, and eczema? This is part two of our series about indoor air quality. We discuss how you can improve your indoor air quality. Kortney shares her experience living in Germany, where ventilating your home isn't just a suggestion, it's practically a lifestyle. We also go room by room with practical tips you can actually use, from washing your sheets in hot water to why that scented candle might need to go. Part one covered what causes bad indoor air quality and what causes health problems for people with asthma and allergic diseases. What we cover in part two about indoor air quality The art of Lüften, aka house burping: Fully opening your windows for 5 to 10 minutes is better than cracking them all day, but skip it during peak pollen season. How to reduce dust mites in your bedroom: Hot water washes, dust mite covers, humidity control between 30 and 50 percent, and keeping stuffed animals off the bed. What to know about air purifiers: HEPA filters catch particles, carbon filters catch chemicals, and size matters for your room. Some cleaning products may make things worse: Choose fragrance-free products, avoid aerosols and scented candles, and wear a mask while cleaning. Kitchen and bathroom tips: Run exhaust fans during and after cooking or showering, check for leaks, and watch your shower curtain for mold. Advocating for better air at school and work: Ask about ventilation and MERV filters, and pay attention if your symptoms improve on weekends.

The crew dives headfirst into a mystery that no homeowner wants to face: a house smelling like it's been sprayed by a skunk. What starts as a bizarre and embarrassing odor problem turns into a deep exploration of HVAC systems, air exchangers, furnace filters, and a little-known issue called Dirty Sock Syndrome. Along the way, JJ breaks down how skunk smells can travel through ventilation systems, how mold and dirty evaporator coils can mimic those odors, and why regular HVAC maintenance—like filter changes, MERV ratings, UV lights, and seasonal servicing—actually matters. There's also a crash course in central air conditioning, energy efficiency, and what first-time homeowners should realistically expect when upgrading their systems.

Send us a textA father that gives birth, a horse that says “no,” and an ER doctor who wants to keep you out of the hospital—this episode brings science and everyday choices into sharp focus. We start with a mind-bending dive into seahorses, where males carry the pregnancy and build a placenta-like environment from skin. New research shows familiar pregnancy genes at work inside the brood pouch, but with an unexpected hormonal switch: androgens, not estrogens, drive gestation. It's evolution repurposing its toolkit—and a powerful reminder that sex roles in nature are more flexible than we think.From there, we move into animal-assisted therapy and the role of consent in touch. A new study comparing dogs and horses found that forced interactions with horses raised heart rate and lowered HRV, signaling more stress, while choice calmed people down. Dogs showed no significant difference between conditions, suggesting human perception and species-specific behavior shape outcomes. If you run therapy programs, the insight is simple and humane: build animal choice into sessions, especially with horses, and track long-term welfare alongside human benefits.Then ER physician Dr. Shazma Mithani joins us to turn insight into prevention. We talk helmets for anything on wheels or snow, why e‑scooters drive more severe injuries per use than bikes, and how regular checkups and screening prevent emergencies before they start. We break down wildfire smoke—how particulates inflame lungs and harm the heart and brain—plus when to wear a well-fitted N95 outside and how to upgrade home air with MERV 11–13 filters or HEPA purifiers. Finally, we tackle measles: an airborne virus that lingers for hours, demands 95% vaccination for herd immunity, and is best stopped with two doses of MMR. Unsure where to get trusted answers?

A chilly room tells a story, and today we decode it with clear, practical advice you can use before your next utility bill arrives. We kick off with a quick nod to football, then dive straight into comfort science: why that “burnt” smell appears when the heat first comes on, how long it should last, and the simple signs that mean it's time to call a pro. From there, we get hands-on with the fixes that matter most—filters, ducts, insulation, and air sealing—so you can keep more of the warmth you already pay for.We break down MERV ratings without the jargon and explain why “higher” can backfire in a home system. You'll learn why cheap filters swapped monthly often outperform pricey options left too long, and how pets and foot traffic downstairs change your replacement schedule. We unpack conductive vs convective heat transfer to show where heat actually escapes, then map out a weekend DIY plan: carefully pop interior casing, add low-expansion foam around doors and windows, and reseat trim for immediate draft control. We also spotlight hidden losses at the air handler, where failed tape and loose ducts send conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces.Choosing a heat source is easier with context. Modern electric heat pumps maintain comfort efficiently; gas still delivers fast warmups for large or intermittently used spaces; and dual-fuel systems blend both. We share when each shines, plus budget-friendly ways to add targeted warmth with electric fireplaces that move real air and run flame-only for year-round ambiance. Rounding things out, we compare crawl spaces and slabs: site slope, repair access, HVAC placement, and long-term costs that often get overlooked during planning.Ready to make your home feel better with fewer dollars?

Actor and comedian Darrell Hammond joins Adam in studio to talk about his legendary run on Saturday Night Live and what it was like taking over for the iconic Don Pardo as the show's announcer. He reflects on the surreal experience of watching old sketches of himself, including a memorable one where he portrayed Bill Clinton on the phone with Saddam Hussein and Monica Lewinsky. He opens up about the challenges he faced during his time on SNL, and a harrowing story about getting arrested in the Bahamas and being left behind by a cruise ship. In the news, Mayhem and Adam react to Hunter Biden's explosive new interview where he claims President Biden took Ambien before the 2024 debate and defends his controversial painting sales. They also weigh in on Donald Trump's demand for the Washington Commanders to revert to their former team name, as well as Bill Cosby's shocking comments comparing Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death to the murder of his own son.Writer and comedy veteran Andy Cowan stops by to share stories from his time writing for Seinfeld and pitching ideas to Larry David. Adam reflects on how doing the opposite of his mother's advice led him to success, and he asks Andy whether Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were playing exaggerated versions of themselves or just being authentic. Andy brings in a clip from The Merv Griffin Show, where he performed a spot-on Frank Sinatra impression, prompting a nostalgic discussion about Merv's legendary career. Adam closes the show by ranting about why it is so important to use a coaster on the podcast table.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH DARRELL HAMMOND:TOUR DATE:Comedy Works Denver - South at the Landmark - Friday (7/25) - Sunday(7/27)ONE MAN SHOW: CRAY - available on AudibleINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @darrellchammondFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com FOR MORE WITH ANDY COWAN:PODCAST: ‘The Neurotic Vaccine with Andy Cowan and Dr. Scott Kopoian'WEBSITE: AndyCowan.netTWITTER: @AndyGCowanThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinetry.drinkbrez.com/CAROLLA/ and use code CAROLLA for a $5 credit and free shipping on your first orderoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: August 6 - Reno, NVAugust 7 - Portland, ORSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
