Wiki: "In economics, profit is the difference between revenue that an economic entity has received from its outputs and total costs of its inputs, also known as surplus value. It is equal to total revenue minus total cost, including both explicit and implicit costs."

Jobless Homeless Sweeps China: City Stations Crowded With Homeless, Youth Vie for $1.20/Hr Jobs
But even jobs like these aren’t easy to find. In many cities, bus stations, parks, and public squares are filled with people who can’t find work and end up wandering the streets. They spend their days running around the city looking for a job just to survive, and at night, they sleep wherever they can.

‘Pig butchering’ scammers target BBC reporter - BBC World Service
The BBC’s Cyber correspondent Joe Tidy suspected it was a scam but wasn’t sure what kind. In the end, "Jessica’" turned out to be a "pig butchering" scammer.
These fraudsters refer to their victims as pigs, whom they fatten up to be "butchered" or conned, out of as much money as possible.
Knowing the profile for "Jessica" was fake, the reporter played along for more than two months to find out what psychological tricks the pig butchers employ to lure victims around the world into investing into fake crypto schemes.
Pig butchering scammers stole at least $3bn last year according to the FBI, with victims usually aged between 30 and 60.
GSB 2024 Last Lecture Series: How to live your life at full power

While greens powders have gained popularity as a convenient and quick way to boost nutrient intake, they may not always be a good idea to incorporate into your nutritional regimen. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Lack of Nutritional Diversity: Greens powders typically contain a blend of various powdered vegetables, fruits, and herbs. However, they often lack the nutritional diversity found in whole, fresh foods. Whole foods offer a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that work synergistically to support optimal health. Relying solely on a greens powder may mean missing out on the benefits of consuming a variety of whole foods.
2. Reduced Fiber Content: One of the drawbacks of greens powders is that they are usually low in fiber compared to whole fruits and vegetables. Fiber plays a crucial role in digestion, promoting satiety, regulating blood sugar levels, and maintaining a healthy gut. By opting for a greens powder instead of consuming whole foods, you may be depriving your body of the necessary fiber intake.
3. Nutrient Loss: Processing and storing greens powders can result in nutrient loss. Certain nutrients, such as vitamin C and some B vitamins, are particularly vulnerable to degradation due to exposure to light, heat, and air. Consequently, the nutritional value of greens powders may not be as high as that of fresh produce.
4. Potential Contamination and Quality Issues: The production process of greens powders involves sourcing and drying vegetables, which may carry the risk of contamination with bacteria, pesticides, or heavy metals. Moreover, the quality and potency of greens powders can vary significantly between brands, making it essential to choose a reputable one.
5. Cost Considerations: Greens powders can be quite expensive, especially when compared to purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables. While they may offer convenience, they might not be the most cost-effective option for meeting your nutritional needs.
In conclusion, while greens powders can provide a quick and convenient source of nutrients, they may not always be the best choice for a balanced nutritional regimen. Incorporating a wide variety of whole, fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet will offer a greater range of nutrients and fiber, supporting overall health and well-being. Greens powders can be used as a supplement occasionally, but they should not replace the benefits of a diverse, whole-food-based diet.
Thanks Uncle GPT.

In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the fast food industry’s secrets that can keep you wanting more but are detrimental to your health.
The average American consumes between 2 and 3 fast food meals per week, which adds up to 150 to 200 meals per year. Even if you order value meals or make choices from the dollar menu, most people spend around $1500 to $2000 per year on fast food.
The fast food industry uses all sorts of marketing tactics to keep you wanting more. Mcdonald’s uses yellow and red, which stimulate impulsivity, increase serotonin, and even encourage you to eat faster.
The fast food industry also targets children, hence the playgrounds and happy meals at fast food restaurants. They use upselling techniques by offering fries or a combo, which can increase profits by more than 22%. Prices containing the number 9 can increase the likelihood of making a purchase!
McDonald’s is one of the largest beef buyers in the U.S. They use low-quality factory-farmed beef fattened with grains and treated with antibiotics.
Fast food meals also contain poor-quality ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, soy oil, corn flour, corn starch, and fillers like maltodextrin. These ingredients are highly processed and highly inflammatory. Although fast food may seem cheaper and more convenient in the short term, it can cause massive health consequences in the long term.
Let's talk about overconsumption today - why do we actually shop so much? (Btw, there's much more behind it than just advertising - ever heard of "retail therapy"?)

Burnout - When does work start feeling pointless? | DW Documentary
Superfluous meetings, endless paperwork and incompetent managers - sound familiar? Jobs that entail a steady stream of seemingly pointless demands can damage our health in the long-term. This film takes a humorous look at how we waste potentially valuable time in the workplace.
In an ideal scenario, work is fulfilling. But many people in office jobs find their daily work is making them miserable. Of course, it could be argued that the dissatisfaction of these employees is mainly a by-product of industrialization. They’re in secure, non-physically demanding professions that are often relatively well paid - unlike many people in this world living in vastly more dire circumstances. But is this unparalleled waste of human resources one of the biggest untold dramas of our time?
"The Happy Worker" explores the reasons why highly paid managers are so fond of parroting hackneyed phrases, following abstruse management methods and poisoning the working atmosphere for the benefit of shareholders. According to a Gallup poll, just 13 per cent of the working population endeavor to perform well in their job. However, 64 per cent of employees don’t care about their work and aim to get through the day with minimum effort. 25 per cent of workers hate their jobs so much they even work against the company that employs them. Although the numbers vary from country to country, these trends can be observed all over the world.
A sense that their work is pointless makes many people ill. The documentary hears from patients recovering from burnout. The accounts of their experiences are appraised by a number of experts including the Berkeley-based pioneer of research into burnout, the psychologist Christina Maslach.

Why you should think about financial independence and mini-retirements | Lacey Filipich | TEDxUWA
'Time poor' is the catch-cry of our era, and yet end-of-life retirement means we have an average of two decades of feeling time rich to look forward to… when we’re old. In this talk, Lacey shares how combining financial independence and mini-retirements is one way to bring that time rich feeling into our youth. Lacey Filipich started her entrepreneurial journey with a hair wrap stall at 10 years old. Today, she is the co-founder and director of two successful businesses; Money School and Maker Kids Club.
Between hair wraps and start-ups, Lacey graduated as valedictorian from the The University of Queensland with an Honours degree in Chemical Engineering. She moved to Australia’s ‘wild west’ to begin her career in mining, rising quickly through the ranks. A health scare and her sister’s suicide opened Lacey’s eyes to the world beyond work, leading her to redesign her life and take five mini-retirements in the next five years.
This was achievable because of Lacey’s financial position: she started investing at 19 and now earns a passive income. Lacey considers herself time rich: able to choose if, when, where, how, on what and with whom she works. Her story is one of many in the Financially Independent Retiring Early (FIRE) movement supporting the idea that end-of-life retirement is optional. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Feed Your Heart: The Secrets to Staying Off the Operating Table | Dr. Philip Ovadia
NOTE FROM TED: While some viewers may find talk helpful as a complementary approach, please do not look to this talk for medical advice. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of lifestyle and disease prevention. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Have you ever wondered why, despite medical advancements, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States? With a staggering statistic revealing that 88% of Americans are not in optimal metabolic health, this talk by Dr. Philip Ovadia, a cardiac surgeon and the founder of Ovadia Heart Health shows a transformative journey triggered by the preventable crisis of a patient. Highlighting often ignored indicators like obesity and diabetes, he advocates for a fundamental shift—from treating to preventing heart disease. Drawing from personal experiences, including shedding 100 pounds, the talk challenges listeners to envision a world where proactive measures and seeking root-cause-focused healthcare keep individuals off the operating table. It's an invitation to rewrite the narrative and aspire to a future where heart disease is an avoidable exception rather than an unfortunate norm. After growing up on Long Island, Dr. Philip Ovadia completed an accelerated Pre-Med/Medical School program at The Pennsylvania State University and Jefferson Medical College (now The Sidney Kimmel College of Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University). He went on to complete a residency in General Surgery followed by a fellowship in Cardiothoracic Surgery. Dr. Ovadia has been a practicing heart surgeon since 2005. He has been married to his wife Shelly since 2010 and they have two daughters, Eva (12) and Layla (10). Starting in 2016, Philip started a journey to fix his health challenges, a lifelong battle with obesity and pre-diabetes. He successfully lost nearly 100 pounds and maintained that weight loss. Dr. Ovadia is now on a mission to help as many people as possible to avoid the need for heart surgery. He recently authored the book, “Stay Off My Operating Table.” Philip is excited to be returning to Jefferson to Redefine Possible and educate people to Feed Your Heart: The Secrets to Staying Off the Operating Table. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
