I wonder if Stephen and Youssef have dialogued with the authors of Logotherapy who found that those who were more likely to survive Nazi concentration camps were those who had a reason for living-e.g finishing a book, family etc. I have only read about this in passing so objective evidence may not have been established- but it is a field of psychiatry/psychology.RegardsPaul Freeman On Thursday, September 14, 2023 at 12:00:34 PM PDT, pophealth-request@mailman13.u.washington.edu wrote: Send Pophealth mailing list submissions to ??? pophealth@u.washington.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit ??? http://mailman13.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pophealth or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ??? pophealth-request@mailman13.u.washington.edu You can reach the person managing the list at ??? pophealth-owner@mailman13.u.washington.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Pophealth digest..."

These funds were disbursed through a handful of national and regional emergency food and food justice agencies to smaller front-line organizations for the purchase of emergency food provisions and personal protective equipment, and to hire additional workers. We theorize these dynamics within the broader processes of neoliberalization and argue that the Canadian federal government was conscripting food justice and community development organizations into its efforts to address dramatically increasing rates of food insecurity across the country through charity emergency food provisioning. Within Peck and Tickell?s stylized conceptions of the destructive (roll-back) and creative (roll-out) moments of the process of neoliberalization, we frame the crisis of COVID-19 as exposing a form of recalibration (roll-call) neoliberalism. We focus on this dynamic specifically within the context of household food insecurity in Canadian communities and argue that the federal government?s funding regime during the global pandemic effectively directed food justice organizations (and by extension, the populace in general) away from a more ambitious social change agenda towards the more acceptable strategy (in neoliberal terms) of emergency food provisioning services.
