“So there have been a handful of cases, literally a handful,” Morell revealed, “where NSA employees have looked into the database inappropriately — looked at boyfriends, or girlfriends.”
Krugman explains in his economics textbook that unemployment insurance discourages employment by subsidizing unemployment. Then he advocates for extension of unemployment benefits from his New York Times bully pulpit.
Does that make him a hypocrite? Or is he merely identifying a political opportunity?
Unemployed people may seek gainful employment and find jobs sooner if their benefits are allowed to expire. But unemployed people who are perpetually granted unemployment benefit extensions are more loyal Democratic constituents. Rather than hypocrisy, I believe Krugman is merely stating a political position.
Study: sitting at work for hours can be as unhealthy as smoking.
When I first went to work for a company after graduating years ago, we were allowed to smoke inside the office. Can you imagine? People sat at a desk all day, smoked like a chimney, munched on potato chips and drank Coke while they worked. Cardiology was only beginning to unravel the mysteries of heart disease. No wonder men often died of heart attacks in their 50s.

Eek!
It is good to know that the people involved with the nations most sensitive information are using it responsibly.

It certainly can sap you of energy, sitting all day!
Very different effects on the body, but same result – shorter life.
“Minor,” indeed. Makes you wonder what they’re not admitting…
“Minor” is being too kind, I am sure it was extraordinarily invasive.

So evidently the lifestyle from the show Mad Men was the pinnacle of bad health.
“Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) tests are as popular as colonoscopies among Medicare Part B patients.”
Well at least they feel comfortable enough to get STD tests. Maybe some of the STDs will go away.
Somehow describing “colonoscopy” as “popular” is disconcerting!
Describing either as “popular” is disconcerting.
