Tossed with reckless abandonment sounds like a fun time.

Ooo, it could take a minute. But yeah if that’s what you want, I’ll do it.

Hold on, lemme go dump my entire homebrew notes in there. :)-

Just kidding, sounds like an invaluable place.

It doesn’t matter if the party doesn’t change. We can keep sleepwalking into it or crash into it, the result will be the same. We must change the Democratic party to avoid disaster.

Hilariously those are the two that would probably be containable.

From what I can find you’re talking about sale pricing. Which also happens to other proteins.

I’d love to know where you live that one of the most marketable pieces of pork is cheaper than chicken and ground beef. Because that would be amazing.

Pork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.

And I’m sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.

You can’t just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.

It’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.

And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.

The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.

That takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.

This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.

The amendment was a compromise so we didn’t need a Federal Standing Army in 1792. All the bullshit came with specific laws.

There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.

Yup

I’m a lot closer to being an expert than most people and that’s a war crime.

Why? Isn’t that the easiest lowest hanging fruit possible?

If I’m a politician and I’m putting tariffs in place, the one place getting annihilated by a 1,000% tariff is the place I’ve already sanctioned into the ground. Is that performative? Maybe. Would it prevent headlines like this? Yep.

Makes you wonder what’s going on in the swamp.

Nope, participation in a system that’s forced on you isn’t consent. But you can choose to do something to change the system. Get active, march, vote, organize.

Oh no. No. No. No. The players make the rules. Shifting focus to the game being bad is a deflection as old as time.

Right, so you just chose to be offended at something you knew wasn’t about you.

That’s usually a house. But yeah if they have a million in a 401k then they’re part of the problem. Those funds are sitting in investment companies like Blackrock fueling the primacy of Wall Street over everything.
