ukno the government promised us a government funded forced buyback of stolen land as an incentive to fight in ww1 (highland proscription had largely collapsed in the 19th century bcus pressganging was made illegal and also most of the young men died or were abducted and shipped overseas (i mean thats what pressganging was anyway) and most 'highland' regiments were largely inhabited by lowlanders). so it was used as a major incentive to get highland men signing up for the war. i dont know if the community had the same revolutionary potential as ireland at the time but i assume its bcus of the popularity of the highland land league and its close ties with the irish land league that they resorted to such a tactic. in the end, scottish gaelic communities had some of the highest soldier mortality rates in the entire british empire. and ofc no land was returned.

The health insurance industry has a term for this sadistic practice. It's called "step therapy." If the choice is between a more expensive medication that works and a cheaper one that doesn't work as well and might have worse side effects, the insurance company requires that the cheaper drug be used first.

One benefit to the insurance company is that the patient on the cheaper drug might die before they get a chance to use the drug that works but is more expensive. That's money in the bank for the insurance company.

Or, the patient might be so worn down and harmed by the cheaper drug that they just give up the fight to get the drug that will help them. Again, that's bank for the insurance company.

since spotify wrapped is coming today i just want to bring awareness to the fact that around 86% of the songs on spotify are currently demonetized since spotify decided that tracks with under 1,000 cannot be monetized. not only that the ceo of spotify cashed out $35.8 million dollars in spotify shares in the third quarter of the year and it has been reported that he earns more than the top artists on the platform.

for a platform that claims to support artists, this is outrageous and i hope people realize that an artist who is starting out, cannot make a living out of spotify streams simply because daniel ek and his friends made it worse for the artists trying to start a career. if you wanna support musicians and the possibility for them to get a living wage please follow United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) which are trying to make The Living Wage for Musicians Act a reality so musicians can be paid fairly through streaming platforms and get the cut they deserve.
