Who cares? Without trucks moving goods, we literally have nothing and society as we know it doesn’t exist.

And on the flip side a CEO can improve and expand many people’s careers and therefore wealth.

A dictatorship like Mao Zedong, Mussolini, Hitler, etc can flow all the wealth and power to themselves, oppressing the people under them.

The point it: You can’t talk about best case scenario of one and not the other. Usually, as it’s human nature, both are going to sequester wealth and power for themselves over the people under them, but a bad dictatorship is leagues worse than a bad company/CEO.

Idk but if so, mission accomplished I guess

That is true

Right and I get that, and I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, but again I just get a really bad taste in my mouth for policies that aim to save people from themselves. It just feels like the government being a parent instead of a service of the people. Secondly, it doesn’t really fix the root of the problem, which doesn’t always have to be the goal in policies obviously, but reluctantly making people make decisions with higher prices. Where should the government stop then in using higher taxes to get us to do what it wants?

Again, I’m torn on this because it may be the correct thing to do to cut down sugar consumption, but I hate the precedent it creates.

Maybe. A possibility for sure. I’m just not really into policies of trying to save people from themselves.

For me? I do what I can by just avoiding it as much as I can.

No, because just banning things rarely achieves the desired results.

And whether it’s cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, too much sugar in general is the problem, much more so than the subtle differences between the two.

Yes, I even have a class A CDL. However, I don’t do it much so I’m not the greatest in a big truck and am competent in a regular vehicle

Yes, even as someone without anxiety this happens. This is especially true if I haven’t gotten enough sleep the last couple/few days. Also, it comes with a hangover besides the physical ailments. Lastly, if I’ve been stressed for a long while about certain things and those eventually get resolved, I’ll still feel anxiety/stress for awhile, it’s what I consider burnout as it applies to me.

Cut out Reddit completely if you haven’t already, that helps a lot.

Reddit is so much bigger, but if you remove that competition to cure the same “itch”… you’ll be here more.

Insulin is worse though because it’s not like it’s a drug that had to be developed and has a billion dollars or more to develop. The case with insulin is blatant price gouging.

This pill, this doesn’t mean it should be as cheap as insulin as the two drugs aren’t equals. It can be priced fairly and still be expensive, we don’t know the economics behind it. Being cheap =/= fair pricing all the time. Like buying a better product that took more to make.

This could still be outrageously priced obviously, but comparing it to insulin is apples to oranges.

Heard about this on the radio yesterday, and looked into it further as we hear about “cancer curing pills” all the time and they usually are nothing. This one does seem to have traction however IF it can make it through human trials. So obviously could mean nothing if it doesn’t pass this phase, and it will be there a long time, but this is very promising news.

Well yeah case to case with anything specific is going to be unique, but that is the overall general trend.

This also isn’t one study, it’s a synopsis of lots of data and studies.

Just like you might have the rare 80year old run a 5k, that doesn’t disprove that overall our bodies aren’t physically declining significantly overall by then.

After 20-30 years they don’t add anything as a politician imo. There should be a max of 3 term limits in most political offices on the state and federal level.

You really need me to give you a link to prove that we decline as we age? Really?

That’s also something you could easily google yourself but I have no problem providing some info to you:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4015335/#:~:text=Cognitive change as a normal,speed%2C decline gradually over time.

More specifically, read the part about “Executive Function”. But the whole thing is worth a read for a good overview.

Agreed.

The power of being an incumbent and having all that money from special interest groups paying you to influence your policies is hard to run against.

Democrat or Republican, why would they walk away from that cash cow? They’re all out for themselves and not for who they represent.

Both him and Biden shouldn’t be in political office, in fact there should be a cutoff and that should be you can’t run after you’re 70. Democrat or Republican people that should be at home retired tending to their garden or fishing shouldn’t be running the country.

It’s scientifically proven your cognitive ability is significantly declining by that age, and not to mention they are almost always out of touch with the modern world we live in.

Shoot your shot and if what you described happens then move on. If they do that before you took your shot then that’s on you and it’s time to move on.

There’s probably lots of partners that we would’ve ended up with if things had gone different, but that’s life.

It’s the main reason why Reddit was a giant circle jerk. I like here that you can upvote and downvote things but it’s not connected to your account at all. Just connected to the comment or post, as it should be.
