The 900 employees at Walgreens Accounting made it an ideal candidate for the exercise.
About 750 of them filled out information sheets, not just for themselves but for any family members who lived with them. Medicine would be dispensed for entire families at the employee’s worksite.

(my comment)

Family members? So now companies are acting as agents for the state in collecting data on who lives with their employees. I see this as setting a dangerous precedent to make employers collect personal data about people that do not even work for the company. What is next maybe drug testing the spouse of their employees making sure they are not doing drugs or smoking cigarettes, oops they are already making employees pay more for health insurance if their spouse smokes next they will be saying they need to drug test them to make sure they are not smoking.

It has to do with control of oil and its price. How?

First, the crucial role of the international oil exchanges in London and New York is crucial to the game. Nymex in New York and the ICE Futures in London today control global benchmark oil prices which in turn set most of the freely traded oil cargo. They do so via oil futures contracts on two grades of crude oil—West Texas Intermediate and North Sea Brent.

In today’s world when you go to the store they want you to subscribe to their store cards that they say will save you money, and some like Sam’s Club and Giant Eagle save you so much on a gallon of gas. Of course that depending on how much you spend at their store to accumulate points.

Mass education was the ingenious machine constructed by industrialism to produce the
kind of adults it needed. The problem was inordinately complex. How to pre-adapt children
for a new world—a world of repetitive indoor toil, smoke, noise, machines, crowded living
conditions, collective discipline, a world in which time was to be regulated not by the cycle
of sun and moon, but by the factory whistle and the clock.
The solution was an educational system that, in its very structure, simulated this new
world. This system did not emerge instantly. Even today it retains throw-back elements from
