I think we should admit that advertising is weird as a concept, and that as agencies and companies understand more about attention and what's effective, they're just becoming worse and more intrusive. Watching live sports or anything on TV is such a fucking chore these days.

Cerberus, a private equity firm, buys a chain of hospitals, sells the land on which they sit, and charges them rent. The hospitals struggle and start cutting corners. Patients' care worsens, death rates climb. And Cerberus makes $790 million in profit.

For every article like this, there ought to be 10 about the awful shit UHC and other insurance companies and medical administrators inflict on the American public. "Decivilization" is a great word for how they treat us.
