(ThyBlackMan.com) Key Takeaways Stop the task safely and clean or flush the exposed area right away. Report the incident as soon as possible, even if the injury appears minor. Seek prompt medical evaluation rather than waiting for symptoms. Document what happened, including the material involved, exposure route, and protective equipment used. Use the workplace exposure control plan to guide follow-up and prevention. A possible blood exposure at work can be […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The latest figures from the Pentagon on the war against Iran amount to $38 billion, with future costs running at $3 billion a month. And contrary to some of the president’s earlier statements, it’s not about to be over. And who is paying the price? Look to your left. Look to your right. Look in the mirror. Don’t take my word for it. This is what Republican House Speaker […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) American businesses have long practiced what political scientists call regulatory capture. A company that cannot repeal a law takes control of the people the government put in charge of enforcing it. The airlines did it to the Civil Aeronautics Board, which in 40 years never approved a new trunk carrier. The health insurance industry helped shape the Affordable Care Act and came away with a federal mandate requiring Americans […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Five seemingly unrelated developments — the Supreme Court’s intervention in mail-in ballot rules, a federal judge’s decision affecting foreign students and journalists, the blockade threatening Saudi Arabia, an unusual alliance in Michigan politics, and the accelerating power of artificial intelligence — are testing whether American institutions can exercise authority without abandoning restraint. Let’s begin with the Supreme Court’s decision concerning mail-in ballots. The Trump administration asked the justices to […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) If you run a private behavioral health practice, you already know the math: every note you don’t finish during the session follows you home. Solo therapists, psychologists, social workers, nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists routinely lose hours each week to documentation – and the wrong system multiplies that drag while quietly adding compliance risk. Between charting, billing, telehealth, e-prescribing, scheduling, and a patient portal, the sheer number of tools (and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Inflation hasn’t gone away — it’s going up. With the midterm elections seven weeks off, that’s a problem for the president and Congress. Voters hate inflation. They don’t much like the cure either, and the cure has two parts. The Federal Reserve raising interest rates, like it just did, is one. The second part is overlooked and in the hands of Congress. Indeed, the Fed can’t bring inflation down […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One of the primary tenets of the American legal system is the importance of precedent; the common law doctrine of “stare decisis” means “to stand by things decided.” The purpose of law in such a system is to provide stability and predictability, so that people can conform their conduct to the law’s requirements. Another way of describing this is “the rule of law.” At its core, the rule of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) We are accustomed to a lot of words. In today’s world, unlike the ancient world, we have a surfeit of words flying at us from all directions; from television and radio, from cinemas and the stage, from the press and magazines, from billboards and placards, from the internet and satellites in outer space, and even from locals peddling their goods. All clamouring for our attention, whether they are spoken, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last week our country commemorated the 25th anniversary since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It was a solemn reminder of the real, persistent threat from adversaries who hate America and the freedoms she stands for. We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who proudly serve our country in uniform — military members, law enforcement and first responders. Protecting the United States and its citizens […]
