Not sure if it's the same thing here. The US didn't attempt to turn Afghanistan or Irak into a US state, have them fly the "Old Glory" and their kids recite the pledge of allegiance when school starts.

thanks!

Not sure if you're comment is condescending or I've asked the wrong question. Probably a bit of both. I did read the article but I was asking more along the lines of actual evidence. This being a new and highly publicized phenomenon, I'd expect this to be a goldmine for research clinicians so I'd expect quite a lot of chatter in the form of articles or case studies.

Just the fact that the government seems to bend over backwards to accept this Havana syndrome narrative while in the past being extra skeptical about all sorts of occupational hazards (like the Iraq burn pits or Agent Orange) is enough to make me super-extra skeptical that this condition being nothing other than some psychosomatic freak incident.

Funny enough, I posted 3 comments about this in the span of 8 minutes and Hacker News is saying 'You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.'. Tinfoil hat ON!

Evidence for damage found in the vestibular system found by independent clinicians?

Source for those statements? I've been following this since it appeared in the news cycles but I don't recall any evidence of physical damage. There were some inconclusive physical changes (keyword changes, not damage) but that doesn't really constitute as any form of proof that the condition is not psychosomatic.

> Pichai was asked, in a question that was highly rated by staffers on Google’s internal Dory system, why the company is “nickel-and-diming employees” by slashing travel and swag budgets at a time when “Google has record profits and huge cash reserves,” as it did coming out of the pandemic.

I find it hard to believe that workers of Google caliber can't fathom the golden rule of capitalism.

Nothing spells 'Care for customers' like pulling the plug and allowing 2 whole months to get their data out.

> So, it's not really a surprise that theyve declared open season on nuclear power plants.

So getting butthurt is an unsurprising justification for attacking nuclear power plants?

Don't store materiel inside the nuclear plant. Don't fire missiles from the nuclear plant. Don't use the nuclear plant for cover. Don't invade Ukraine. Problem solved.

I don't understand how any position Russia has in this context, matters at all. Just fucking go away. None of this would have happened if Russia didn't start a war of aggression against its neighbor.

Wait until you hear about Staff engineers.

> Why pay more when a machine can do the same cheaper ? Its pure capitalism.

Why work more when the pay is the same? Its pure capitalism.

> Do you really think Russia will ever pay reperations?

Yes. One way or another, Russia will pay. If only through discounted gas or indirectly after becoming China's puppet.

> Healthcare in the US is definitely not driven by the free market.

You're conflating 'capitalism' with 'free market'. You can have either without the other and OP was calling out 'capitalism' specifically.

It's 'Qui bono' or more accurately and less pretentious: 'who benefits'
