    (Nonsense)
    Starbucks staff strike on Christmas?
    (a) unions, union alliance with the democratic party, union and democratic party corruption, are the reason for the offshoring of industry that is the reason for the decline of the working class in america.
    (b) Starbucks is one of the best companies to work for, under the best conditions, with some of the best perks, for what are almost entirely unskilled workers.
    (c) Starbucks obtained a new CEO to cut costs because starbucks is at risk because of overexpansion and general worldwide economic decline in consumer purchasing power.
    (d) By using the union to demand fifty-cent increases instead of just rallying employees independent of the unions is what caused the company to object to it.
    (e) union reform must limit to employee insurance against harms, but cannot consist of rents against potential future earnings, or blackmailing companies on present wages or those future rents. As we have just seen rapidly in germany’s decline in the auto industry and more slowly in the USA,due to outsourcing and offshoring, the future of any business is unpredictable. And the days where unions could take advantage of the illusion of the durability of companies and profits under the democratic party and political lefts false promise of endless growth are permanently over.
    So yeah. Merry Christmas Starbucks Employees.
    Nothing like fighting the last war.
    Nothing like fighting to get your stores closed.

    Cheers.

  • Rather old difference that isn’t that uncommon in different countries: In Sweden

    Rather old difference that isn’t that uncommon in different countries:

    In Sweden, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th due to the tradition of the main celebration and gift exchange happening on Christmas Eve, which is deeply rooted in Swedish culture. (Ie: primarily gifts and family)

    The United States follows the more widespread Western tradition of celebrating Christmas primarily on December 25th, influenced by a mix of religious and cultural practices over time. (ie: Primarily Church Driven)

    NOTE:
    Q:
    This looks like it mirrors the evidence from the research. Do I err?

    A: Based on the information provided in the post by Curt Doolittle and the related web results, your observation that the post mirrors evidence from research seems accurate.

    Here’s how the details align:

    Proportional Antisocial Behavior: Curt Doolittle mentions that while male antisocial behavior might be more visible, it is expressed proportionally by both genders, which aligns with research findings from sources like PMC (). This source discusses how antisocial behavior and certain traits of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) can be similarly expressed in men and women, though the behaviors might manifest differently.

    Visibility and Prevalence of Mental Illness in Women: Doolittle states that female mental illness is more visible and common, citing a figure around 40%. This is reflected in various statistics from the Mental Health Foundation (,), which highlight that women are more likely to experience common mental health problems, with rates increasing over time compared to men. The prevalence of mental health issues in women is indeed noted to be higher, with specific figures like women being three times more likely than men to experience common mental health problems.

    Given these points, your interpretation that the post by Curt Doolittle mirrors the evidence from the research provided in the web results is correct. The post and the research corroborate each other in terms of the visibility and prevalence of antisocial behavior and mental illness in men and women, as well as the broader implications of mental health labels in society.

    @datepsych One comment in two points: 1) while male antisocial behavior may be more visible than female antisocial behavior, both express proportionally. 2) Conversely, female mental illness is more visible than male and (much) more common: around 40%. So I’m not sure what metrics you’re…

    WHO IS CURRENTLY SUPPLYING OIL TO CHINA?

    As of December 2024, China sources its crude oil from a diverse range of suppliers. The approximate percentages of total imports from key countries are as follows:

    50%:
    Russia: Approximately 15% of China’s crude oil imports originate from Russia. In July 2024, imports from Russia were about 1.76 million barrels per day, reflecting a 7.4% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year.Reuters
    Saudi Arabia: Accounting for around 13% of China’s imports, Saudi Arabia remains a significant supplier. In July 2024, imports from Saudi Arabia increased by 13% year-on-year to 1.51 million barrels per day. Reuters
    Malaysia: Imports from Malaysia have surged, with some estimates suggesting it accounts for over 10% of China’s crude oil imports. Notably, the volume of imports from Malaysia exceeds its total production, indicating that some of this oil may be transshipped from other countries, such as Iran, to circumvent sanctions.U.S. Energy Information Administration
    Iran: Despite sanctions, China continues to import Iranian oil, often through indirect channels. Estimates indicate that Iranian oil constitutes about 13% of China’s imports. However, these imports are subject to fluctuations due to geopolitical factors and enforcement of sanctions.Reuters

    50%:
    Other Suppliers: China also imports oil from countries like Brazil, the United States, and various African nations, each contributing smaller percentages to the overall import portfolio.

  • As of December 2024, several European Union countries continue to import Russian

    As of December 2024, several European Union countries continue to import Russian oil, primarily through the Druzhba pipeline, which remains operational despite EU sanctions targeting seaborne imports. The main importers are:

    Hungary: Hungary relies significantly on Russian oil delivered via the Druzhba pipeline. Hungarian officials have emphasized the importance of this supply route for the country’s energy security.Reuters

    Slovakia: Slovakia continues to receive Russian crude oil through the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline, maintaining its energy imports from Russia.

    Czech Republic: The Czech Republic also imports Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline. Recent reports indicate that oil flow to the Czech Republic through the pipeline resumed after an unexplained shutdown, highlighting ongoing dependence.

    The Druzhba pipeline is one of the world’s largest oil pipeline networks and a key component of the Soviet-era energy infrastructure. It transports crude oil from Russia to several European countries, including members of the European Union.
    Length: The pipeline spans approximately 4,000 kilometers.
    Capacity: The pipeline has an estimated capacity of over 1 million barrels of oil per day.
    It originates in Russia and splits into two branches:
    Northern Branch: Supplies Poland and Germany.
    Southern Branch: Supplies Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
