I would suggest those who are interested in the literal psychology of employee retention do some reading of the academic research on the subject. There's an interesting review of the literature about job burnout, for example, that was publi

You make a good point, but it's disingenuous to equate 'naturally occurring' with safe for kids to have. Mercury is a naturally occurring element.

The only thing free here is low-tier internet if you pay for the installation. This isn't about ads, this is about installation.

"That free tier? That is outright illegal and its sole purpose is to eradicate all competition." No - the purpose is to increase people willing to pay for installations in a given neighborhood so they can go ahead and roll out service to mo

No way to know. This is a pilot program. Running fiber to the home cost effectively is as much a political challenge as anything else. They're hoping to blow the doors of in KC to then help make things go more smoothly in other cities.

Exactly. But to be clear, there are, of course, many, many therapists that practice scientifically supported approaches to treating depression.

"What a lot of therapists do is by definition part of the modern understanding of depression and its causes and solutions." No. What psychologists have determined constitutes the modern understanding. Therapists ought to work in a way that

Have you studied Plato and Aristotle? There are arguments behind those opinions. I disagree with them, mind you, but it's easy to just scoff at the past for holding presently unpopular opinions.
