  • This is a problem even without this. The account owner can get lists of all outbound calls of their victim’s line if they share a plan.

    The fcc requires some remediation if a domestic abuse order is submitted but obviously that’s at the far end of the abuse cycle.

    The issue here can be traced all the way to phone companies pushing the very concept of family plans because it makes churn more difficult.

    An abuser can shut off their victim’s phone line on a whim with convenient online interfaces.

    Phone companies don’t treat their customers will respect because their is no requirement. No one of adult age should be subjected to any of these controls simply because someone else pays.

    The health industry has rules around this. The moment a child hits 18, their claims disappear and the parent loses access to medical records.

    There is absolutely no reason phones should not have the same restrictions but the industry lacks the will and will until the fcc or other three letter agency forces the issue.


  • Ultra processed it when it’s broken down and reassembled, often adding nutrients, preservatives and other additives.

    Oat milk is a good example.

    Cheese blocks and bottled wine are not ultra processed but American “cheese” is definitely ultra processed.

    This is not the gotcha, no one really knows, shrug that people pretend it is. There is no gray area.

    Given two similar products such as cheese, one can be ultra processed while the other is not. There is no cheese that is sort of maybe kind of ultra processed. There is a clear line that is crossed.

    Pretending otherwise it only yo the benefit of the food industry who prefers we pretend it’s a fuzzy concept because it would affect their profits.


  • Such events are so uncommon they aren’t going to change the supply chain for them.

    This particular event isn’t solved by supply chain management. The goods aren’t coming because the tariffs and uncertainty are too high and distribution contracts don’t change that quickly.

    There were many articles a few weeks back about how American companies were canceling orders.

    For the first round of tariffs, they squeezed the Chinese manufacturers but after the tariffs continued to rise those manufacturers had to say no more and the American companies had no choice but to cancel orders.

    There is absolutely no surprise in shipments dropping because we’ve know for weeks that orders have been cancelled.

    Places like Walmart have a contract that the distributor must sell goods to them below a certain price point and no one can hit that price so the goods aren’t ordered and nothing is shipped.

    Walmart’s contracts is the reason shelves will go empty but don’t expect Walmart to take the blame when everyone is primed to blame Trump.
