Please, America, Install the Bidet Feature In All Toilet Seats (for $150)

The Hygienic Revolution: Why Bidet Toilet Seats Trump Toilet Paper

For decades, toilet paper has been the standard for personal hygiene after using the restroom. However, this outdated practice is not only inefficient but also detrimental to our health and environment. Bidet toilet seats, a staple in many European and Asian countries, offer a superior alternative. It's time to embrace the hygienic revolution and ditch toilet paper for the advanced benefits of bidet toilet seats.

Enhanced Hygiene

Toilet paper often leaves residue and irritates sensitive areas, leading to discomfort and potential health issues. Bidet toilet seats provide a gentle, soothing stream of water that cleans thoroughly, eliminating bacteria and reducing the risk of infections. This is particularly crucial for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures. 

Environmental Benefits

The production and disposal of toilet paper contribute significantly to deforestation, water pollution, and waste management issues. Bidet toilet seats minimize paper usage, reducing the demand for this resource-intensive product. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if every household in the United States replaced just one roll of toilet paper with a bidet, we could save over 15 million trees annually. Run the bidet for a full minute, wiping one with paper will show only water. 

Increased Comfort and Convenience

Bidet toilet seats offer adjustable temperature controls, massaging jets, and self-cleaning nozzles, ensuring a luxurious experience. This upgrade also eliminates the need for cumbersome toilet paper rolls and reduces the risk of accidental spills or messes. Additionally, bidets provide easier cleaning for individuals with mobility issues or disabilities.

Beyond personal hygiene, bidet toilet seats bring unparalleled comfort to family dynamics.

Intergenerational Benefits

Imagine the relief for:

- Young parents, no longer worrying about diaper rash or messy cleanups

- Elderly or disabled family members, enjoying easier, more dignified personal care

- Teenagers, experiencing enhanced personal hygiene and confidence

Congregate Living Arrangements

In shared living spaces – dormitories, nursing homes, prisons, or military barracks – bidet toilet seats become essential:

- Reduced risk of bacterial and viral transmission

- Enhanced cleanliness for residents with compromised immune systems

- Increased dignity and independence for individuals with mobility issues

Household Harmony

Bidet toilet seats minimize disputes over toilet paper usage and messy cleanups, promoting:

- Reduced stress and anxiety

- Improved household cohesion

- Enhanced overall well-being

Institutional Applications

Institutions benefit from bidet toilet seats:

- Hospitals: reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs)

- Schools: improved student hygiene and focus

- Correctional facilities: enhanced inmate health and dignity

The Cleanliness Comfort Index

Consider the following metrics:

- 90% reduction in toilet paper usage

- 80% decrease in bacterial transmission

- 75% increase in resident satisfaction

By investing in bidet toilet seats, families and institutions prioritize comfort, hygiene, and well-being.

Economic Advantages

While initial installation costs may seem daunting, bidet toilet seats prove cost-effective in the long run. Reduced toilet paper consumption saves households up to $100 annually. Moreover, bidets minimize plumbing issues caused by clogged toilet paper, reducing maintenance costs.

While upgrading to a bidet toilet seat requires an initial investment, the long-term savings are substantial. Consider the following:

- Bidet toilet seat cost: $100

- Installation cost: $50 (takes 10 minutes after learning to do it once) 

- Total upfront cost: $150

However, bidet toilet seats significantly reduce toilet paper consumption. Assuming an average household uses 1-2 rolls per day, and with a bidet, toilet paper usage decreases by 75%:

- Average annual toilet paper cost: $100-200

- Savings with bidet toilet seat: $75-150 per year

Conclusion

Bidet toilet seats offer unparalleled hygiene, environmental sustainability, comfort, and economic benefits. It's time to rethink our outdated reliance on toilet paper and join the global movement toward advanced personal hygiene. Embracing bidet technology will revolutionize our bathroom experiences, fostering a healthier, more eco-friendly future.

When Should Doctors Be Made to Retire?

 Age has no validation as a marker for retirement. Only patient outcomes are valid. Powerful factors in that assessment include experience, patient mix, and the size of any difference. If the difference is 0.25%, as it is for age and sex of the MD, litigation against any party forcngretirement is justified by disparate impact. The practice will be judged in court using strict scrutiny. One can only feel a difference of around 30% at the gut level, after correcting for all other factors.

When you take out a doctor, you save the payer $4 million a year. What is not being calculated is the value of restoring the health of patients, in preventing additional health care expenses, and in restoring people to economic productivity. Spend $2000 for a year of medical care by an old doctor, return to a $60,000 a year job. That loss from getting rid of one old doctor may be $120 million per year, not placing any value on suffering.

Pointless Transportation, the Series

 John Kennedy was told, there was no hope of winning Texas in the next election. He insisted on going to an even in a parade car to try to sway voters. He was assassinated. 

In the absence of hands on procedures, all work should be done from home. That would save a lot of money, time, environmental pollution, deaths from crashes. It is estimated that 10,000 of the 40,000 crash deaths take place during the commute. Highway hypnosis makes people arrive at work half asleep. Then tired people endure that sedative effect driving home. Sleepy people are as impaired as drunk people. Traffic deaths are surging despite improving technology in all aspects of driving. The most powerful way to drop these horrific tragedies would be to presume working from home in the absence of a hands on work requirement. 

In this case, wealthy and responsbile people decided to enjoy the sensation of being on a yacht. These are the sensations of poor people traveling from Europe to America. A storm arose, and their boat sank in 15 minutes. It also took a daughter. 

Let me see if I understand the concept of cruising, even on a city size liner. You made money. You own a beautiful, spacious home. It is comfortable. You trade your spacious home for a small cabin that is moving in 2 dimensions at the same time. You are crowded in with other people. You touch a handrail, and you catch the Norwalk virus. It gives you explosive diarrhea for a week. You watch less talented shows from Broadway or from Vegas. You have no escape. This is true during a hurricane like Helene, via Tik Tok.

Law in Failure: Gun Control Laws Have Little or No Effect on Murders or on Suicides

See the article.

From the article: 

The study did find, at best, a marginal difference made with regard to mandatory storage laws and suicides. However, I'd argue that sufficient education, combined with tax incentives for gun safes would probably have a similar impact.

The reason for no dip in homicide rates, though, is pretty simple. Most guns used in crimes of any kind are either obtained illegally or are purchased by people who have no criminal record and wouldn't be denied some kind of gun by any laws remotely permissible under the Second Amendment.

Because that's the case, there's absolutely no way for gun laws to have an impact. Ban semi-autos and these murders would take place with revolvers. Ban revolvers and they'd be committed with single-shot or double-barreled guns. And that's just for the sake of argument. That's me providing a scenario that assumes gun control actually impacts what criminals can get.

Law in Failure: Biggest Cause of Victimization is Weakness. Human Power Comes from Tools

Simians are aggressive. They form packs and attack larger animals. Chimps are 10 times nore aggressive and murderous as humans. For humans, tools are the most effective way to increase power, and to deter victimization. The main purpose of the law is to generate rent seeking jobs for lawyers, and to enrich the profession. When mandatory sentencing guidelines surged inprisonment, they dropped crime 40%. As an immediate result, lawyer unemployment also surged. The pushback was swift. "prison is the new Jim Crow." Black Lives Matter burned down the cities with near total immunity. Billionaire funded propaganda got Soros prosecutors elected. They decriminalized thefts. They released career criminals without bail.They suppressed the reporting of crime. Victims who shot the criminals were selectively and viciously prosecuted by the pro-criminal prosecutors.Lawyers used their tools well to protect their rent seeking jobs. Gun control has preceded all democides. Mass murderers know the above principle well. All proponents of gun confiscation should be presumed to be mass murderers until they prove themselves otherwise.

Law in Failure: War, the Most Catastrophic Failure of the Lawyer Profession, the Biggest Lesson of the Holocaust

This self evident lesson is never stated by our elite. This lawyer failure is in the service of the lawyer employer, the elites. This failure causes the deaths of millions of people, and $trillions in the destruction of infrastruture. This failure permits wars and democides with impunity for a small group of people. They usual greatly profit from war and from democide. Laws and rules prohibit the targeting of civilians in war. Exceptions must be added to these catastrophic rules. When people do not recognize the humanity of a group, scapegoat them falsely, and declare an intent to get rid of them, pre-emptive self defense is morally justified and mandatory. Naturally, the result of these orders is the mass slaughter of working class people of both sides. None has any beef with the other side, and most just want to go home. This doctrine coincidentally generates income for the manufactuers of war products and services. A small elite protects the elites of the enemy, and makes $billions. Millions of military personnel are employed in government make work jobs. Could the Jews of Nazi Germany have taken on the Wermacht (German military) to defend themselves? Obviously, no. They did not have to. Their could have tried to decapitate the Nazi hierarchy, instead. The civiliam Nazi hierarchy was a softer and more accessible target. Obviously, the earlier this defense is started, the more likely it is to succeed. Today's technology provides better tools for locating them, and for dispatching them cheaply. No one is learning this biggest lesson of the Holocaust. A few Nazi officals were hanged at the Nuremberg trials. The families that funded the election of the Nazis remained untouchable. They made $millions from Nazi contracts, after donating to the campaign of Hitler. They escaped any accountability after the war. They were recruited by the Allies after the war to rebuild the economy of Germany. These elites made even more $millions under the Allies than under the Nazis. These are the people who propel wars and democides. From a utilitarian viewpoint, they should be the very first casualties of war and of planned democides. Give them notice. Attack the families. Then eradicate the persons. The hierachy consists of the entire families, targeted for kidnapping and for assassination: Political leaders Financiers Top propagandists Intellectuals providing justification for the democide Reigious leaders Organizers and executive officials Their families should be the first targets. That allows the hierarchy to change its decisions. The same is justified by utilitarianism for all military conflict. It is an alternative to industrial grade slaughter of military people who come from the class of working people. The selection of the targets should follow a validated investigation, and evidence meeting standards of criminal prosecution. These rules prohibiting such targeting. They must be modified with the above exceptions. 1. Geneva Conventions (1949) and Additional Protocols (1977 and 2005): Specifically, Protocol I, Article 51(2) and Protocol II, Article 13(2) prohibit attacks on civilians and civilian objects. 2. Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907): Article 25 of the 1907 Hague Convention IV prohibits attacks on undefended towns, villages, and buildings. 3. Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (2002): Article 8(2)(b)(i) and (iv) criminalize intentionally directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects. 4. United Nations Charter (1945): Article 2(4) prohibits the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, which implies protection for civilians. 5. Customary International Humanitarian Law (CIHL): Rule 1 prohibits the targeting of civilians, and Rule 7 prohibits attacks on civilian objects. 6. International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Guidelines: The ICRC's Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities under International Humanitarian Law (2009) emphasizes the protection of civilians. The United States has its own regulations. 1. War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441): Makes it a federal offense to commit war crimes, including intentionally targeting civilians. 2. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 118: Prohibits murder, including the killing of civilians. 3. UCMJ Article 119: Prohibits manslaughter, including the killing of civilians. 4. UCMJ Article 137: Prohibits conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, including targeting civilians. 5. Geneva Conventions Act (18 U.S.C. § 2241): Implements the Geneva Conventions in US law, prohibiting attacks on civilians. 6. Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions (implemented through Executive Order 12633): Prohibits attacks on civilians. 7. US Department of Defense Law of War Manual (2015): Emphasizes the protection of civilians and prohibits attacks on them. 8. US Army Field Manual 27-10, The Law of Land Warfare (1956): Prohibits attacks on civilians. Basically, in the US, only an executive order stands between ending catastrophic wars by targeting civilian leaders. Ford Executive Order 11905, issued on February 18, 1976, by President Gerald R. Ford. This executive order prohibited the targeting of foreign leaders, including civilians, for assassination. Specifically, Section 5(g) of the order states: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination." Ford's executive order was later reinforced by Executive Order 12036, issued by President Jimmy Carter on January 24, 1978, which reiterated the ban on assassinations. Subsequent executive orders, including Executive Order 12333, issued by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981, have continued to prohibit the targeting of foreign leaders, including civilians, for assassination. A future president can modify these orders, by including the exception of self defense. The argument against this military doctrine is that they can do to us. The reply is, yea, so. Let war starters and democide promoters live like hunted pray. They are doing it for profit. Let the risk of being the first target of war be included in their gambling ieth the lives and money of our own citizens. AI opposes this military target. Of course, AI is biased in favor the financiers that would profit from war and from democide. It cites the example of Quadaffi and of Saddam Hussein. Both were targeted by foreign invaders. The result of their eliminations were unclear about any advantage to the invaders.

Letter to the FTC About the Clustering of the Pricing of GLP 1 Agonists

Office of Policy and Coordination Bureau of Competition Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 RE: Clustering of High Prices of GLP 1 Agonists in the USA, Compared to other First World Nations. Dear Madam or Sir: GLP-1 agonists, also known as incretin mimetics, mimic the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is produced in the gut and helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon production. They can: 1) Improve blood sugar control: By mimicking GLP-1, these drugs help the pancreas produce more insulin and reduce glucagon production, which can help lower blood sugar levels; 2) Promote weight loss: GLP-1 agonists can slow down digestion, making people feel fuller for longer, and reducing appetite; 3) Reduce the risk of heart disease: Some studies suggest that GLP-1 agonists may lower the risk of heart disease and stroke; 4) They may have a role in reducing alcohol and drug use. All doses of each drug have the same price for 4 weekly injection pens, as cited from Goodrx.com, a discount coupon website. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy by Novo Nordisk): $1000 Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) by Novo Nordisc: $325 Dulaglutide (Trulicity) by Lilly: $853 Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon) by Astra Zeneca: $796 Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) by Lilly: $1035 The costs elsewhere for 4 weekly pen injectorss are: Germany $328, Japan $169, the U.K. $93, Australia $87, France $83.·No doubt these amounts are highy profitable, since the cost of a pen is around $5. What these companies fail to understand is the lesson taught in high school economics. If the price is lower, the demand will go up, as will total revenue and profit. The likelihood of the clustering of these high prices by chance is very low in the absence of collusion. Why wouldn’t a competitor price a product $200 lower, and corner the market, while still making a high profit? Please, investigate the coincidence of these high prices. See they if they violate Antitrust Guidelines for Collaborations Among Competitors, the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. § 1), the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 14), the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. § 45), or state and federal laws prohibit price-fixing and collusion, such as the California Cartwright Act and the New York Donnelly Act. I understand, you cannot permit importation without new legislation. That leaves an investigation for collusion to lower the prices. Here are the addresses of the corporate counsels.

 Allowed to import non-approved drugs. Once approved, not allowed to import drugs. This 150 pounds is $194. Compare to $1035 in the US. That $50 shot likely provides a big  profit. 



You should ask your political representatives to demand the PA Medicaid negotiate the highly profitable price of $40 a pen, not $250. From a high school Economics 101  view, demand will explode, and the drug companies will become more profitable. Box of 4 pens is $83 in France. Come on, man.

"Here we provide a principled analysis of social media posts detailing a reduction in alcohol consumption while taking GLP-1 and Tirzepatide medication. In addition, we report a reduction in average number of drinks, binge drinking, AUDIT score, and the sedative/stimulating effects of alcohol in individuals taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide in our remote study. These findings add to a growing literature detailing a reduction in alcohol intake after GLP-1 agonist medications. To our knowledge this is the first report of decreased alcohol consumption following Tirzepatide use. Further RCTs are needed to fully explore the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 agonists and GIP/GLP-1 combination drugs for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder."

Relationships - The High School Course

 There are some immutable laws of relationships

1) The social value of the two partners must be equal. You can have an ugly rich man with a beautiful poor girl. You cannot have an ugly poor man with a beautiful girl. The is the Law of Social Equity. The most powerful value comes from celebrity. That is why imprisoned serial killers get marriage proposls from normal females. Celebrity is an irresistble aphrodisiac even on highly toxic males. The second most powerful is money or the prospect of making money in the future. The best indicator of future earnings is intelligence. The best, most available evidence of intelligence is wittiness. That means clever, unexpected zingers, not clowning. Clowning is evidence of low intelligence and a turn off. The third most powerful is  a handsome face and a good body.  All male achievements are to serve reproduction and to attract top shelf females. When the value of one of the couple changes, the relationship ends in a second. For example, 2 struglling actors also work as wait staff. One gets a contract for a $million job. The value has markedly increased, the relationship ends immediately. One member of the couple gets a chronic mental illness, dropping the social value. The divorce rate is close to 100%.

2) Reproduction drives sexual attraction. Females are attracted to alpha males. In wolf language "alpha" means "father." That means the attractive male will be an adequate father. Males are sexually attracted to motherly females. They must be motherly in appearance and in caregiving behavior. The ordinary male is not sexually attracted to models. They are too thin with 5% body fat, so the camera makes them look 10% heavier by flattening their appearance into 2 planes. Modes are attractive to designers. They look like boys. Their bodies will not distract the eye from the designer products. 

Besides a pleasant or beautiful face, and a 10% to 25% body fat content. males are attracted to females that make them feel good. Females do so by taking care of them. They do it by bringing peace to their stressful existences, by being psychologically supportive. Females should avoid bitchin' and bossin'. Such a feeling is a preview of how the female will make the offspring of the male feel. 

3) Marriage is a legal nightmare. Exceptions are rare. Its sole benefit is to keep males from leaving their families. Fatherless children are truly disadvantaged according to  hundreds of statistical studies. Single motherhood should be highly discouraged for the sake of children. Marriage should have an expiration date of 25 years. Compatible people may renew it. Others should part ways, while their bodies are still operating well. They may explore the stunning array of future dates and get tremendous physical and mental growth and satifaction. 

None of the above is entirely determined genetically. People can work hard to learn the skills and even to improve their appearances. 

4. The thinking is that relationships are not lasting long, like 3 months, because one is not being one's real self in the beginning. The real self is less attractive, and ends the relationship. The better advice is to stay phony. Set up rules in the relationship, no bitchin', no bossin', no bullyin'. Be on your best behavior, your kindest, your cleverest, your funniest, permanently. The partner gets great treatment. You get into the habit of being a better person, expending more effort, energy, wit, and thinking. As with any repetitive behavior, it becomes easier and a habit.   5. When you ask a date to do this reading ahead of meeting, time to bed together is reduced to less than half an hour. No coffee. No walk on the beach. No flowers. No expensive steak dinner. No drive in a Bentley. People do not want to waste any time. "I know our date is Friday. Can you come over now, instead?" All high school students should be required to read the webpage on Elder Sex from the AARP. That is just the beginning. Review breast orgasm. Thank new technology for this discovery with an fMRI. Tantric sex. This information is for people with erectile dysfunction and low vaginal exudate production ability. The one message from them? Sex is not a bathroom function to be completed in 7 minutes. Make time and reap great enjoyment, not to mention the admiration and gratitude of both partners.

5. Always pay the $100 assembly fee for furniture, especially if from IKEA. Assembling furniture has a serious risk of violence between 2 people. Biting, throwing things, stabbings may result from excessive supervising of the other person. 

Trump Assassination Attempt - Hard to Believe It Was Only Enabled by Incompetence or by DEI Leadership

 The elite deride conspiracy theories. The best explanation for government mishaps is the convergence of multiple mistakes by lazy and incompetent dunderheads. This one goes too far. 

The shooter is a  nerd who learned shooting at a gun club.  This kid did a commercial for Black Rock, the investment firm for many government pension plans. He contributed to a far left attack group. Just before the shooting, he registers as a Republican. He gets to the roof of a building 130 yards from the President. It had not been occupied by police as other roofs around had. Many people scream at the police that a shooter is on that roof. A police sees him turn the gun and ducks, but does not come back. The police snipers allow 7 shots to be fired, then shoot him in the head. That way, he cannot be interrogated. The shooter had a skilled, well aimed head shot until Trump turned his head, like a good military sniper. He calculated windage and elevation, as John Wayne advised in a movie. 

The FBI and the Secret Service are Democrat storm troopers. They serve to imtimidate grandmothers praying at abortion clinics, and parents objecting to schools transitioning kids to another sex without consent. They spend $hundreds of millions hounding and harassing the political opponent of Biden. They used  the playbook of the Stasi of Putin. All must be fired and replaced by real police officers. A special prosecutor should be approved by Congress, and prosecute any conspirators to the limit of the law.

 The body loses 0.5% of dopamine neurons a year from berth to death. They start and drive movement.  The amount of movement drops every year. Go to a free play playground and look at 3 year olds and 10 year olds. If you put a normal 5 year old in a 12 year old class, you will think, ADHD. That means teachers are best source of information for making the diagnosis. They have a class full of kids to compare a child. The Diagnosis of ADHD is made if the child sticks out from his same age peers. It does not respond to good classroom discipline, and will affect function. That means, the child may have to be moved out of class. The child is disrupting the learning of tohers, and consumming an unfair amount of staff attention. 

What are stimulants stimulating? They are stimulating the frontal lobes. They inhibit many parts of the brain, including the dopamine system. One old fashioned alternative was the infliction of pain, in corporal punishment. Fear helped kids control themselves in class in the past. Most parents do not want to raise their kids in fear. The other problem with corporal punishment is that it may be rewarding to a child with ADHD. They are bored. They enjoy adult attention. They are sensation seekers. Corporal punishment provide all those rewarding properties. If it worsens the child, it should be stopped. Medications should be considered. 

Stimulants are twice as effective as other medications like atomoxetine, antidepressants and blood pressure medications. They work in an hour, peak at 2 hours (both benefits and side effects), and last 4 hours (all original stimulants), 8 hours (Adderall), or allegedly 12 hours (Vyvanse, Adderall XR). They each help 70% of patients. Put the 30% of non-responders on the alternative drug, and half will improve. Try combinations on the remaining treatment resistant patients. They must be matched for strength before drawing conclusions about effectiveness. For example 10 mg of methylphenidate has the strength of 5 mg of amphetimine. Adjust the doses before comparing their effects. The dose is by the weight. An effective dose will stop working even if adjusting for weight, after several month or a year. An alternative to repeated increases in doses per weight is to stop the stimulanst for 2 weeks on a school break, and restart at the same dose.

Things that are a Good Idea in Theory but Rough in Reality

Showering together - the seeing, touching, and removing of grotty unknown organic substances from the body of the other person, slipping and falling, arguments over water temperatures, agonizing, blinding eye infections, especially if wearing contact lenses

Outdoor Summer concerts - sounds like a lot of fun. But you must endure high temps in uncomfortable conditions, heat, dehydration, crowding, long waits, physical discomfort 

Driving in a beautiful open convertible car - noise, weather, including, extreme heat, sun exposure, losing a hat, open to intruders, costly repairs to mechanism and fabric of the top, limtted trunk space

Law in Failure: The Crime Rate is a Marked Underestimate

 Crime has updated. It has moved to the internet. The lawyer profession has not. Official reports of crimes are garbage, lying government propaganda. We should get rid of the lawyer profession managment of crime. If crime decreases they lose jobs. They only protect the criminal, and never the victim. They arrest and crush the victims fighting back, as a threat to employment. All jurisidictions with low crime rates have only one feature in common. Some are rich or poor, some religious or secular, some crowded or sparse. All have public self help. The criminal is far more afraid of the public than of the police in low crime areas. It is time to unleash the only effective crime suppression, public self help. The public should be able to punish the criminal on the spot and have immunity from criminal or civil liability. The criminal should lose all substantive legal rights.

Daytime Sleepiness vs Dementia and the Case of President Biden

Dementia is the permanent, irreversible loss of the ability to form new memories, for exaample, today's date.

Daytime sleepiness from inadequate amounts of REM and Stage IV deep sleep is as impairing as intoxication on illegal alcohol blood levels. All the above functions can be affected as well. However, the remedy to daytime sleepiness is a good night's sleep. Another is a 30 minute nap. That is the limit of time for a nap to refresh, but to avoid spoiling that night's sleep. The other remedy for daytime sleepiness is modafinil 200 mg, pproved for sleepiness associated with inadequately treated sleep apnea.

I reviewed the case against "Fit for Duty" requirement for the police, punishing sleepiness at work. An accommodation for daytime sleepiness is imperative, especially if the job has caused the daytime sleepiness. The best is a 30 minute nap. An alternative is to take modafinil 200 mg for wakefulness, without effect on emotions or on thinking.

Biden has sleep apnea. He might have daytime sleepiness in the absence of a review of his medical record. Please, stop saying, Biden is demented. Biden should consider coming out about his sleep apnea, to help the majority of those with it who are untreated. It is not a disqualifying condition if treated with regular use of CPAP, implants, naps shorter than 30 minutes, and modafinil 200 mg in the AM. His doctor should provide that medication to cover the hours when alertness will be important.

As to slowing, the human body loses 0.5% of its dopamine neurons each year from birth, and movement slows from age 2. If fast movement is a requirement, then a 5-year-old should be president. Performance on cognitive tests peaks at age 16. In order to give a 40-year-old an IQ of 100, one must allow 50% of the right answers required at 16. Same thing, make a 16-year-old President if performance on a cognitive test is relevant to political leadership. As to trouble with word finding, the most common causes do not include dementia, but aging, language processing problems, inattention and distraction, stress and fatigue.

Remarks about the mental performance of President Biden are ad hominem remarks. They commit the Fallacy of Irrelevance. Biden should be criticized about his policies. On the other hand, did Biden make any of his decisions while sleepy? If Biden mistakes were made while sleepy, add them to the list of historic disasters caused by sleepiness.

Law in Failure: Prosecutorial Immunity Is Absolute, Despite Intentional Misconduct

 The innocent defendant spent 2 years in prison. The prosecutor told a witness to destroy exculpatory letters after a court order to produce them for the defense. The defendant sued the prosecutor. The Supreme Court granted absolute immunity to the prosecutor. Here. Libertarian magazine agrees. The judge can sanction the rogue prosecutor. The disciplinary counsel may as well for violating the special duties of the prosecutor. In reality, they never do, engaging in a collusion and a massive cover up of massive lawyer violations of the Rules of Conduct. 
  
Liability shrinks an enterprise. Immunity grows an enterprise. These decisions are unauthorized industrial planning. They are the job of a legislation. The legislation should keep out of it, since all industrial planning usually fails. Immunity should, at least, be limited to new, growing, and struggling enterprises. Examples are the early railroads and the internet in the 1990's. Once large and mature, all immunity should be removed. Criminal Prosecution is large, mature, established for 1000's of years. Neither judges nor prosecutors should be legally immune. Because of the dangerous nature of their acts, they qualify for strict liability. However, professional standards of due care will help them police themselves. An expert in their business would be required to testify they deviated from professional standards of due care. 

I would be interested in finding a case where an immune party was subjected to violence. I owuld like to introduce the superior, and compelling nature of formal logic into the legal system. The contrapositive of a true assertion is always also true. All bats are mammals (A then B is true). This animal is not a mammal, it cannot be a bat (not B then not A must be true, the contrapositive). Reviewed here

If you believe that legal liability replaced endless cycles of revenge violence, then legal immunity justifies endless cycles of revenge violence. I would like to make that point in an amicus brief for the defense of a violent act against an immune party. Legal liability was an invention that made civilization possible. One could stop spending all day on self protection and on retaliation for aggression by others.

Law in Failure: Pretextual Criminal Prosecutions Are Torts and Apply to the Trump Prosecutions

 These are illegal, says the Supreme Court  in Gonzalez v. Trevino602 U.S. ___ (2024). This decision is highly relevant to the prosecution of President Trump. His lawyers should be suing the jurisdictions. The question is, would there be a prosecution if he were not running for office. Were others in similar circumstances prosecuted as well? If not, the prosecutors should be sued. 

Law in Failure: The Biggest Fraud Score in History, the COVID Caper, Allowed by the Lawyer Profession

 Covid. It was a flu like virus that affected people in proportion to their age. The young were little affected by it at all. If they were, they had mild flu like symptoms. 

It gave the elites around the world to attack their societies in hideous but highly profitable ways. They shut dow all transportation, including walking outside. They used men with guns, the police,  to impose this tyranny. The example was set by the smartest of them all, the Chinese hierarchy. This brilliance was imitated by left wing elites and politicians around the world with the same results. The Chinese tech billionaires scored an additional $2 trillion in income, the American ones, $1.7 trillion. They closed and bankrupted their local shopping competition. The scary John Hopkins COVID dashboard was a computer simulation, not a real count. There was no way they were based on instantaneous reports. 

In the US, a bounty was placed on case finding. Hard pressed hospitals were offere $35000 to subsidize the care of COVID per case. Thus everyone who died with COVID, and not just from COVID. the case number shot up, fueling the false panic in the left wing billionaire owned media. The governor of New York lowered the criteria to clinical assessment, rather than testing for COVID. So an accident victim who was heard to cough, could have OVID added to the death certificated for a $35000 payment. Any doctor questioning the veracity of the death certificated probably did not last long at his job. The usual 60000 deaths from the flu among vulnerable patients disappeared completely.

The federal government spent over $40 billion on the COVID vaccines. Naturally, none of the advertised benefits were true. Vaccinated people got multiple episodes of COVID. They also spread COVID to others.  ("In plain English, the shots were a colossal failure at preventing Covid [15]. Moreover, the Covid shots have caused an unprecedented number of severe adverse events, including at least one million deaths [16]. If the “swift action” that was taken in the past failed to arrest Covid, what then is proposed to stop future outbreaks?" 


Intelligent Israel and Palestine Unity Against Shia Iran, the Unity in Genetics

 See the article about the semitic genes of European Ashkenazi Jews. See the advanced technology of the 7th Century Arabs of Baghdad. Some was reached in Europe in the 19th Century. 


I do not understand why both nations are missing the obvious. Hamas and Hezbollah are funded and controlled by Iran, a Shia nation. The death toll has been a million, including the slaughter of mothers and children. Of course, killing a female prevents the birth of seven future enemies. 


One wonders why Hamas would use human shields. Simple. They are Sunnis. if they are killed by Israel, Iran wins. They kill Sunnis, and make Israel look like criminals against humanity. 

One wonders the intelligent Israelis have not bought out Sunni Palestinian leaders to unify against a mutual enemy, the Shia of Iran. If they are not persuaded, try bribery. It is far cheaper and more intelligent than the current plan.

Oregon Licensing Board Mandates Reporting of Micro-Aggressions in the Health Setting

Here is the rule

Here is a legal analysis by Prof. Jonathan Turley. It focuses on the violation of the Free Speech Clause. 

This rule will have a disparate impact on whites and on those from cultures that are loud. It imposes a supremacist culture of British upper class stoicism. Disparate impact is evidence of discrimination according to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project, Inc.576 U.S. 519 (2015).
