Following our eye-opening episode on Australian optometrists unionizing in response to growing corporate pressure, The 20/20 Podcast turns to the United Kingdom—and the warning signs are just as important. Dr. Harbir Sian sits down with Dr. Keyur Patel, an experienced UK optometrist who has worked across corporate, hospital and independent practice settings and also trained in the United States. Together, they examine how decades of undervaluing clinical services, increasing corporatization and a growing dependence on retail revenue have reshaped optometry in the UK. Keyur also shares his own experience of being dismissed from a refractive surgery company despite no concerns about his clinical ability—because he was not converting enough patients to laser surgery.The conversation then moves to one of the most consequential issues facing the profession: workforce oversupply. With more optometry schools opening and more graduates entering already saturated markets, compensation can be driven lower while individual optometrists lose negotiating power. Keyur and Harbir discuss reports of locum positions paying as little as £25 per hour and the uncomfortable economics behind it: when there are more optometrists competing for fewer desirable jobs, employers gain leverage, salaries decline, and clinicians may feel increasingly pressured to accept working conditions or business models they otherwise would not. Combined with low reimbursement for eye examinations and diagnostic services, that environment can push practices further toward KPIs, spectacle sales and other commercial metrics simply to remain profitable.For optometrists in Canada and the United States, the UK and Australia may offer a glimpse of what can happen when these changes are allowed to compound over decades. More schools, more graduates, lower professional compensation, weaker negotiating power, increasing corporate influence and the gradual erosion of clinical autonomy do not happen overnight—but they can fundamentally change a profession. At the same time, Keyur offers a powerful counterexample: his independent practice walked away from the low-fee NHS sight-test model and built a practice where patients willingly pay more because they value the quality of care, relationships and experience they receive. The message is clear: if optometrists do not actively protect the value of their clinical services and the independence of the profession, others will define that value for them.Love the show?

John Gerardi is joined by Jonathan Keller of California Family Council to unpack the disturbing expansion of Canada's euthanasia program, from proposals to euthanize infants with disabilities to recommendations that minors consent to their own deaths without parental input. This week's mystery clip reveals just how far the MAID program has gone, with roughly half of 2024 recipients citing feeling like a burden rather than terminal illness. The guys then break down how activists quietly corrupt language, sliding from physician assisted suicide to medical assistance in dying to simply assisted death, and why that shift matters. Finally, they take on a New England Journal of Medicine article arguing to contextualize the dead donor rule, a euphemism for harvesting organs from euthanasia patients before death, and explain why the slippery slope keeps proving pro-lifers right.

In this powerful episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB sits down with Thomas Witsman for a raw and honest testimony of alcohol addiction, recovery, and redemption. Thomas shares how a childhood shaped by his father's secret drinking gave way to his own slow slide down the "slippery slope" — from celebratory Friday-night drinks to hiding vodka and drinking multiple times a day, all while raising four kids, leading ministry, and running a business. He opens up about the daily prayer walks, the book This Naked Mind by Annie Grace, and the moment he realized only a miracle from God could set him free. Now years sober, Thomas coaches others toward hope, reminding listeners that "it's not you, it's alcohol," that they are not alone, and that recovery is never as hard or as long as fear makes it seem. Whether you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol, this faith-filled conversation about surrender, healing, and God's perfect timing will meet you right where you are.Connect with Thomas on Facebook or Email and reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

Hitler's Big Lie found fresh expression with Hamas supporters claiming the absurdity that Israel is perpetrating genocide in its right to defend itself, executed in a legal and humane way. An accusation launched by none other than an organization that has in its charter and all of its rhetoric the desire to destroy Israel and every Jew living therein. In this episode we explore how Hitler and the Nazi propaganda machine utilized the "big lie" with incredible effectiveness. Whereas the virtuous woman is extolled for being an individual that may always be trusted, we conclude with a chilling story highlighting that the word of honor of one not committed to truth, is a mockery of honor.

Lauren Arif alerts the podcast listeners to the dangers of self-pity by answering the following questions: Life is hard, so why is self-pity wrong when we are experiencing a trial? What are some biblical examples of self-pity, and how did God respond to that?  Why is instruction or correction often a catalyst for someone to sink into self-pity? If someone has a habit of seeking pity from others, what might that look like, and how would you exhort them? How does practicing self-pity harm those around us? God often shows us mercy. How can this truth reshape our thinking when we are having a “pity party”? What practical strategies can someone practice when they sense self-pity pulling them down?Website: smilingatthefuturepodcast.com Email: smilingatthefuturepodcast@gmail.com Support The Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donorbox.org/smiling-at-2024⁠⁠Recommended Book: "Dead End Desire: Biblical Strategies for Overcoming Self-Pity" by Phil Moser

Comparison is a subtle thief. In Psalm 73, Asaph takes us on a painfully honest journey from confidence in God to frustration, envy, and spiritual confusion. While looking at the success of the wicked, he began to lose sight of the goodness of God, and what started as comparison slowly became a slippery slope away from the Lord. Join us as we walk through Psalm 73 and rediscover this powerful truth: no matter how far our hearts may wander, it is always good to draw near to God.

The same tool that helps you find your best customer can also be used to find someone's fears, anger, or bias. That's where smart marketing turns into something a lot messier. In this conversation, from our archive, we unpack market segmentation, the good it can do, and the risks that come with it.  Recorded in 2017 many of the same concerns are still valid today.  I chatted with Lydia Thurston and Sam Von Tobel about demographics, psychographics, and why every business owner should understand both sides of the story. Why this matters: Targeting helps you spend less and connect faster. But when powerful tools land in careless hands, the results can get ugly. Takeaways: Good targeting saves time and money Demographics help you narrow by age, gender, income, or location. Psychographics help you understand interests, values, and habits. Together, they help you reach moms looking for cooking classes or families searching for healthy meal ideas, instead of shouting into the void. The same data can be misused We talked about the ProPublica case, where ad targeting tools were tested to reach groups based on hateful beliefs. That's a wake-up call. These systems don't just sell soup and cooking classes. They can also spread division if no one is paying attention. Just because you can target someone doesn't mean you should Marketing always needs a moral compass. It's easy to get excited about precision and forget responsibility. Smart business owners need both. Platforms have work to do Facebook responded by blocking some harmful terms, but the bigger challenge remains. People can still be reached through indirect signals like music tastes, interests, or online behavior. This problem doesn't disappear with one patch. If you use targeting tools, ask yourself, will this help my customer, and would I be comfortable explaining how I used it? 

Teaching from Revelation 2:12-17 by Zach Kilpatrick

JPMorgan's Alleged “Brown Boy” Sex Scandal, UK Cigarette Ban Madness & the Great Car Kill-Switch Freakout Dan and Corey riff through a grab bag of news and conspiratorial culture-war chaos: they joke about an alleged JPMorgan Chase lawsuit accusing executive Lorna Hajdinie of sexually abusing, racially harassing, drugging, and coercing a junior male colleague; mock hypocrisy around drugs after noting Steve Witkoff's son was allegedly busted with cocaine; and react to video of Nick Fuentes shoving a woman off his porch, arguing harassment on private property is dangerous while noting the battery charge was quickly dismissed. They warn the UK's ban on tobacco sales to anyone born after 2008 signals growing government control, then pivot to U.S. surveillance fears—Flock license-plate cameras, nationwide data sharing, Palantir, FISA, and a “kill switch” mandate for new cars starting in 2027 that could monitor drivers and disable vehicles. They also discuss alleged SPLC fraud/informant tactics, a Supreme Court ruling limiting race-based redistricting, and a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner amid “tone down the rhetoric” media debates. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 01:07 Iran Talks Sidebar 01:48 WHCD Shooting Talk 03:20 Kill Switch Bill Tease 03:49 SPLC Fraud And FBI 06:56 JPMorgan Sex Scandal 17:35 Witkoff Son Coke Bust 19:29 Comedy Theft Tangent 22:37 Nick Fuentes Porch Shove 30:09 Fuentes Fallout And Fame 33:27 Documentary Speculation 34:26 UK Smoking Ban Fallout 36:02 Slippery Slope to Censorship 37:19 Tim Dillon Clip Breakdown 39:42 Flock Cameras Hit Home 46:19 Nationwide Data Sharing Trap 49:34 Safety Fearmongering Tactics 51:11 Car Kill Switch Mandate 53:28 AI Errors and Real Risks 01:01:39 Mandates vs Personal Choice 01:05:07 Surveillance State Accelerating 01:06:42 Midterms and Incumbent Revolt 01:07:30 Boomer Rage and Power 01:13:03 Millennials Take The Blame 01:14:46 Man Babies And Clicktivism 01:16:16 SPLC And Activist Incentives 01:20:06 When Activism Never Ends 01:25:12 Race Based Gerrymandering Ruling 01:31:51 Why Gerrymandering Should Be Illegal 01:35:39 Michigan Independent Redistricting 01:36:38 Correspondents Dinner Attack Theories 01:44:15 Rhetoric Violence And Hypocrisy 01:54:32 Wrap Up And Where To Find Us

Podcast Summary — “Say No to the Slippery Slope”In this unfiltered 30-minute conversation, Mike and Glenn dive deep into the gritty realities of sobriety — no scripts, no polish, just hard-earned truth. Their message is simple: staying sober isn't about perfection, it's about persistence.They reflect on how no matter how many rehabs a person has been to, the key is to keep trying. Recovery, they say, is not a solo sport — “The same brain that got us into this mess can't get us out, alone.” Surrendering to Alcoholics Anonymous wasn't a sign of weakness but of readiness. Both admit they hit bottom with no moves left — and one wrong step could send them sliding back down the slippery slope to alcoholic hell.Throughout their candid banter, they praise sponsors as “angels” — people who make a lifetime investment in others' sobriety through guidance, discipline, and compassion. They also talk about the value of retreats, consistent meeting attendance, and the miracle of watching others stay sober and grow. The lessons are lived, not taught: “What we've learned is that this **** works.”Key takeaways:Sobriety takes time. It's about “hunkering down,” staying in the work even when life hits hard — divorce, chaos, loss — because stability is built through consistency.Use the tools. Over time, practices like meetings, reading the Big Book, and connecting with others become second nature.Attraction over promotion. Let progress speak louder than preaching. Others will see your improvement.Empathy matters. Understanding those still suffering deepens your own recovery.Redemption takes time and effort. True change only happens when we step off the slippery slope and apply recovery principles daily.Action step: Read the 164 pages of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, then bring them to life through meetings and active participation. Stay connected, avoid isolation, and keep saying no to that slippery slope.

Send us a Positive Review!In this follow up episode on recent LDS news that women are now allowed to serve in Sunday School presidencies, Val & Nathan pivot to the peculiar part of the announcement prohibiting no "mixed-gender" presidencies and share the outcome of their exploration of this odd move.  Upon deeper reflection, the move seems less about worries about slippery slopes towards sexual iniquity and possibly more about preserving another kind of slippery slope--the one that disrupts what some feel is the "natural order of the universe".  If a female formally presides over a male in one realm of the LDS church, what could this possibly lead to?  Listen in as we propose that moves of this nature is proof that ultimately an all male priesthood must be surrendered...even if excruciatingly slowly...if the LDS church is going to survive in the long run.  Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Context 02:09 Reading the New Policy 02:46 First Reactions and Jokes 04:54 Why Mixed Gender Feels Weird 5:51 Relief Society President and Bishop — Mixed Gender Already Exists08:21 Loyalist Perspective Brainstorm 09:32 Women Under Men in Leadership 11:09 Nathan's BYU Co-Mission Leader Experience13:33 Men Under Women and Shame 15:53 Two Existential Questions the Church Dodged17:14 Presiding and Priesthood Questions 19:13 Can Women Practice Revelation Without Male Approval?22:49 Priesthood as Human Construct — "All or None of Us Have It"25:12 Keys vs Duties Explained 28:12 Baptism Witnesses — A Case Study in Power Shifts29:47 Power and Control Creep 32:39 Family Proclamation Implications 35:23 Women Leading Faith Journeys at Home37:38 Joseph Smith Gave Women Blessings — Then They Were Taken Back39:25 What Reforms Might Come Next 44:21 Closing Thoughts and FarewellSupport the showSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website

Is tracking your food helping you — or controlling you?

No extreme diets. No shame. Just a real conversation about finding balance.

A Los Angeles jury has handed down a verdict stating that Meta and Google are held liable for a young woman's psychological harm allegedly linked to social media use—along with a $6 million damages award. But what legal theory could possibly justify it? Richard Epstein dissects the case, from the limits of Section 230 to the growing push to impose liability on platforms for user behavior. Epstein explains why the ruling rests on shaky ground, how it collides with longstanding principles of tort law, and why—if upheld—it could expose tech companies to catastrophic, system-wide liability. The conversation ranges from contributory liability and First Amendment concerns to the deeper question: who is responsible when harm flows through a network? A sharp, fast-moving analysis of a case that could reshape the legal architecture of the internet.

A Los Angeles jury has handed down a verdict stating that Meta and Google are held liable for a young woman's psychological harm allegedly linked to social media use—along with a $6 million damages award. But what legal theory could possibly justify it? Richard Epstein dissects the case, from the limits of Section 230 to […]

What can we learn from the story of David and Bathsheba?In this message, we walk through 2 Samuel 11–12 and examine one of the most sobering stories in the Bible: the fall of King David. What begins with idleness quickly spirals into lust, deception, adultery, and ultimately murder. David's story is a powerful reminder of how hidden sin can slowly destroy a life.But this story isn't just about David. It's about all of us.We explore how temptation works, why sin often begins long before the moment we notice it, and how repentance is the path that leads to restoration.In this message we discuss: • The story of David and Bathsheba explained • How idleness opens the door to temptation • Why sin often leads us down a slippery slope • The importance of truth tellers and accountability in our lives • Why repentance leads to restorationDavid's story reminds us that even someone described as “a man after God's own heart” can fall. But through repentance, God offers restoration, healing, and a new path forward.⸻Scriptures in this message2 Samuel 11–12Psalm 51James 1:13–151 Samuel 13:13–14⸻0:00 The Problem We Don't Want to Admit4:56 A Simple Problem… and a Hard Truth7:24 David's First Wrong Step9:13 The Slippery Slope of Sin13:30 When Sin Leads to Destruction20:03 Nathan Confronts David26:27 Repentance Leads to Restoration30:01 Psalm 51 – David's Prayer of RepentanceSupport the show

Host Dr. Tarryn McCarthy speaks directly to high-achieving healthcare professionals and dedicated women in dentistry who are used to pushing themselves harder than anyone else ever could. The same drive that builds successful careers often brings constant self-criticism, quiet guilt, and the pressure to always do more. She offers a perspective that reframes how high performers think about perfection, leadership, and the voice inside their own head. When that internal dialogue shifts, confidence, energy, and fulfillment begin to change with it.This episode is for the provider who shows up for everyone else but rarely extends that same grace to herself. Press play and politely inform your inner critic it is no longer running the practice.Show notes:(1:41) Why guilt and shame hurt growth(3:02) Self-criticism in dentistry and medicine(5:05) How perfectionism creates self-shame(8:33) Shame drains confidence and energy(13:07) Two leaders with different self-talk(19:12) Awareness and self-compassion practice(20:47) Outro________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

The Supreme Court just kneecapped Trump's "tariffs by emergency" strategy, and Nate and Chuck break down why that's actually a huge win for limiting presidential power. They dig into the scary argument hiding underneath it: if "regulate" secretly means "tax," then any president can invent arbitrary taxes across the entire federal regulatory state. Not great when the next "emergency" is climate, guns, or whatever cable news is screaming about. Then the show pivots to the MAGA vs MAHA fracture over glyphosate and Roundup. An executive order, a farm bill immunity push, and the ugly Monsanto paper trail that explains why people don't trust "the experts." Plus: Seattle's gig worker pay law backfires, California ships gas on a bizarre Bahamas loophole because of the Jones Act, and the low-IQ smears aimed at Thomas Massie heat up. 00:00 Welcome   01:14 SCOTUS Strikes Trump's IEEPA Tariffs: What the Ruling Actually Means   04:24 Regulate vs Tax: Why Tariffs Are Congress's Job (and Why It Matters)   12:06 Loopholes, Fees, and the Slippery Slope for Future Presidents   19:25 Kavanaugh's Dissent: The Roadmap to Tariffs via Other Statutes   21:42 Refunds, Market Reaction, and the Left's Mixed Incentives   24:01 MAGA vs MAHA: Glyphosate/Roundup, DPA EO, and Farm Bill Immunity   30:32 Monsanto Papers: Ghostwritten Science, Emails, and Lawsuit Fallout   36:00 Dumb Democrats: 'Nobody Called Trump Hitler/Racist' and Newsom's Spin   40:28 Newsom's 'Historically Illiterate' Claim & the Dyslexia Victim Card   41:39 AOC's Accent Switch + Venezuela 'Below the Equator' Fact-Check   44:39 Bill Maher's CO2 vs CO Mix-Up (and the Smug Delivery)   47:34 Too Many 'Dumb' Clips: Submissions Overload & Charlie Has to Bounce   49:16 Seattle Gig-Worker Minimum Pay Law Backfires: Higher Base, Lower Tips   55:40 California Gas Prices, Bahamas Detour & Why the Jones Act Makes It Worse   01:01:52 Twitter Files Fallout: DOJ/FBI Payments to X Kept Secret in Court   01:04:39 Defending Thomas Massie: 'Voting With Democrats' and 'Team Player' Attacks

Forrest and Dr. Rick explore how well-intentioned self-help advice can drift away from science under the incentives of the attention economy, where overclaiming, alarmist framing, and “this one simple trick” outperforms nuance. They talk about how authority gets manufactured, how the algorithm encourages overclaiming, and how “theories of everything” lead to misinformation. Dr. Rick and Forrest discuss whether seemingly harmless pseudoscientific practices can create a slippery slope, lowering the importance of material evidence and acting as an on-ramp to more consequential misinformation.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Tyler McBrien, Michael Feinberg, and Ariane Tabatabai to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Between Iraq and a Hard Place.” Iran is engaged in perhaps its most serious bout of domestic unrest in a decade, spurred on by a failing economy and the seeming political weakness of the regime after its devastating military conflict with Israel and the United States this past summer. But the regime has struck back viciously, cutting off global media and communications access even as it has engaged in a vicious and violent campaign of repression that may have already led to as many as between 2,000 and 12,000 fatalities. That has led, among other things, to threats from the Trump administration that it may intervene militarily against the regime. What should we be making of this development? What does it mean for the future of Iran, and what role might the United States play in that future?“A Slippery Slope.” ICE's increasingly provocative immigration enforcement actions came to a violent head last week in Minneapolis, when ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed driver and possible protest participant Renee Good. While the White House has sought to frame Good as a “domestic terrorist” who threatened Ross, videos of the incident instead suggest that her conduct came nowhere close to the standard normally required for the use of lethal force. The FBI is now reportedly investigating Good's widow for ties to activist groups, an effort that led several career federal prosecutors to quit this week. How effective are the administration's attempts to shape the truth likely to prove? “Green with Envy.” Diplomatic representatives from Denmark and Greenland are meeting with senior administration officials as we record to discuss a way forward on Greenland, the self-governing and all-but-independent Danish territory that President Trump has openly coveted since returning to office, up to and including the threat of military force to acquire it. How serious should the world take these threats? Where is the competition over Greenland likely to lead?In object lessons, Tyler is setting the mood with a recommendation of Way Dynamic's album “Massive Shoe.” Mike is boosting our moods with a preview of “One Movie After Another,” a retrospective of Paul Thomas Anderson films, coming soon to the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring. Scott is setting some mood lighting with his Xenomorph-like bedtime reading light from Glocusent. And Ari is getting moody with a revisit of Pedro Almodóvar's “Pain and Glory.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
