Your bodyâ(TM)s hormones wonâ(TM)t allow you to have a net energy deficit daily if it can avoid it.

Iâ(TM)ve âoeprovenâ this casually for 30 days trying to reach nerds not to be obese and have worked with hundreds of folks if not thousands.

You canâ(TM)t outrun the kitchen unless youâ(TM)re in a rare 1-2% of people who can.

Everyone else? The gym builds muscle but doesnâ(TM)t burn fat.

So you want doctors to work for free?

Or you want me to pay for someone's medical treatment even if they lived an entire lifetime of shit lifestyle?

What percentage of cancer patients got cancer because of lifestyle choices?

45%? 55%?

And you want me to suffer for it?

This is mindless.

Companies have to raise prices during fearful times in order to profit now so they can cover the potential losses later.

I jacked my prices up BIG TIME in early COVID because I didn't know if I would be out of work in 2 years. I made a fortune in 2020 and half a fortune in 2021 as things equalized and nothing really bad happened.

I deserved that profit for taking a risk, tho. If things would have gotten shut down for me, I would have had enough cash to weather 2-3 years of outage and rebuild my businesses.

To wit, fuck you for your collectivism.

Crippling unemployment was caused by government actions.

Read The Creature from Jekyll Island for more understanding.

I am no conservative nor MAGA fan but I do believe Facebook etc acted as State actors during Covid and should be regulated as a State entity.

I have only registered and voted Democrat in my entire life and I am serious about putting some of these social network barons up in front of the Nuremberg courts version 2.

I am not paying for your garbage newspaper even if you paid Slashdot to post it.

It's a leftist garbage gossip magazine, and why do nerds still give them any support?

...but the stupid "blue light" sucks. Why can't they put an amber light in there?

I had Covid twice and had no idea until forced tests.

Unvaccinated here.

Nobody I know is vaccinated. Everyone had Covid at least once. Nobody went to the hospital.

I tried to do it, actually.

1. I have no need for extra money.

2. I drive an oddball 2 door electric so Uber and Lyft said no.

3. I would love to help someone get to a destination cheap or even free if I'm heading that way.

I scheduled rides (even to the store, etc) way in advance and never had a single bite -- even though I live in a very busy area and drive to very busy areas.

I would LOVE for Google to connect me to riders, even if it was free, just so I could help folks out.

I have zero fear of someone kidnapping me. I'm armed anyway.

Maybe have more shows with woke cross dressers and also make sure that all of the straight white male characters are the only bad guys

I bought my first Rolex at the age of 19. Iâ(TM)m 49 now. Iâ(TM)ve worn it for 30 years. It still works as accurately as it did 30 years ago. Itâ(TM)s my daily driver and it looks like it: abused and work in the ocean and sailing and playing sports and working out at the gym.

I figure Iâ(TM)ll get another 40 years out of it.

Say it cost me $20,000 in 1993. I expect to get 26,000 days out of it. $1 a day?

I have a ton of friends who get a new iwatch every year. $600.

I got the better end of the deal.

This is grade A bullshit.

Google and read for free at least a few chapters of *what has government done to our money?* By Rothbard.

He explains WHY gold works.

This.

I fly a lot. Mostly AA domestic. Their level of service once you get to a certain revenue average per flight is stunning.

Hopping an air taxi to skip a 75 minute ground cab downtown? Worth it.

The filibuster is so important to enforce the rights of the States in the areas Congress has abused the Constitution over.

We need more Senate power there, not less.
