    40 Signs You Aren't Meeting Your Needs, According to Psychology

    Morality refers to the set of standards that enable people to live cooperatively in groups. It’s what societies determine to be “right” and “acceptable.”

     

    Sometimes, acting in a moral manner means individuals must sacrifice their own short-term interests to benefit society. Individuals who go against these standards may be considered immoral.

     

    It may be helpful to differentiate between related terms, such as immoral, nonmoral, and amoral. Each has a slightly different meaning:1

     
    • Immoral: Describes someone who purposely commits an offensive act, even though they know the difference between what is right and wrong
    • Nonmoral: Describes situations in which morality is not a concern
    • Amoral: Describes someone who acknowledges the difference between right and wrong, but who is not concerned with morality

    Wilbur Mills and the Argentine Firecracker, More Political Fodder for the Tabloids

    January 29, 2025

    Wed 1/29/2025

    Political Shenigans of the 1970s

    Wilbur Mills was a prominent Congressman who took up with a former, uh adult entertainment star, whose career ended amid alcohol and her dip in the Tidal Basin.

    Click and read the story,  nothing new here. Screenshot 2025-01-29 at 4.40.52 PM

    the reaon for the increase in SS payments is that Mills trying for a  Presidential run, got SS payments tied to the Consumer Price Index. The CPI has a large fractal in morgage interest rates. Ironically most SS recipients live in owned homes and so SS payments soared in the 1970s as interest rates rose.
