He envisioned a German eastern empire that would encompass all the Slavic lands, including Russia, and give the German people their ‘liebensraum’ (a side benefit being the destruction of Soviet communism, which he loathed). But he did not originally plan to invade west, until the French and British came to the defense of Poland, and forced him to secure his rear, so to speak.

This is a venture that can help enhance the guidance of the regulators which is (while not perfect) the best available protection for consumers of medication. Many thanks,

It starts with Big Oil. It then moves to AgriBusiness, which “needs” chemicals from oil companies. AgriBusiness produces bad processed food, which makes people sick. Med/PharmaBusiness then makes money from the sick people.

Please note that at every step, people justify supporting exploitation for various reasons.

Ultimately, we all support a system that is bad because we are dependent on it, and do not see how it can be changed.

Your suffering arises from clinging. If you can’t learn detachment, then karma will most likely deposit a cat turd on the pillow of your life at some point (reference to R. Crumb’s “Fat Freddy’s Cat”).

If you think you are suffering now, just realize that it will be far worse if you run up more debt. The system exists to exploit people.

If you feel a need to “own” the external trappings of Achievement, get creative about actually achieving more in your life. Or hope that someone will want to give you stuff (and also hope that their bad karma won’t come along with the “gift”).
