This article definitely has some issues. It should really be titled "For some people, seven hours of sleep might be better than eight", but that's probably not eye-catching enough. The article supports what you are saying her

A sleep study might be a really good thing to do. Sleep disorders are very underdiagnosed, and many are identified only from sleep study results. Many many people with sleep disorders are completely unaware, and often go years before being

The military-industrial complex is still alive and well, and still exercises very strong control in crafting agendas. What makes you think otherwise? Plenty of war operations still going on, air support being given, forward bases maintained

Prisons, law-enforcement. Any conservative lobbies. And what makes you think banks, auto makers, and pharmaceutical companies are going to be in favor of drug legalization? They aren't trying to advance that agenda already and don&#x27

Aren't "apologies" fairly common? A genuine apology for the reasons people think you should apologize is much rarer, corporate communications or not. Frankly this Google apology doesn't seem that genuine to me. What are

Cancellation isn't always a nightmare, even for companies with bad practices. But it's luck of the draw, and your luck can run out at any time, at least while government continues to stall on adequate consumer protections.
