Sure, if you have access to unlimited funds you can use valves. I have to make do with Mercury filled pipes!
Most importantly: NO ONE forces you to buy this gun...
That is actually the end game though. Sure you can have a gun, but the government can shut it off, you know, for the children.
It's not about a conspiracy. The facts are in the open, and no one is actually hiding anything. Fat and carbohydrates are cheaper than proteins, thus processing them and adding flavors to trick the metabolic system into taking them as protein ersatz is just the old art of cooking. And we got better and better at it, able to produce and process giant amounts of fat and carbohydrates and refining them into meals that taste to us just as good as a protein rich diet.
Don't equate fat with carb junk food. Fats, except for hydrogenated franken-fats, are really good-for-you food. We really don't need a lot of protein, but we need a lot of fat. Fat without sugar.
The fact is that you burn what you east. Want to burn fat? Eat fat. Want to burn sugar (and store fat)? Eat sugar.
A healthy diet really ain't all that complicated.
2. Send it in.
>>They don't support a reasonable basic income
WTF does that mean?!? You think the magic sky fairy should provide an income to everyone? Really? Earth to AC. If you took ALL the theoretical wealth from the evil 1% or whoever you hate, it wouldn't make up a single years budget deficit in the US. Then all that's gone. Then what?
There would be a revolution in about 3 or 4 months if the "bill" was accurately detailed with the whole SS amount, not just the employee contribution, etc.
However, "we" aren't some monolithic group. We will disagree on many things. That's why it takes a lot of work from the "people" to get a government that more or less works as the "people" want.
Of course not everyone WANTS to code.
I made terrible grades and dropped out of high school. Just didn't go back after barely getting out of the 11th grade. My kids are the first in my paternal line to EVER go to college as far as I know. I was a carpenter(though not a coal miner) for the first 13 years of my working adult life.
Then I bought a first gen IBM pc and started teaching myself programming, just for the hell of it. Loved it.
Yeah, my first coding efforts were crap, but I busted my ass and learned how to do it right. Quickly enough to be a real asset to my employers. I've made my living as a software developer for more than 30 years now.
Learning something technical is almost 100% desire, not some special talent given to the blessed few.
If governments can tell you what car to drive and how much CO2 it can emit, why not tell people what they can eat, how much animal protein, and put a methane tax on cows and pigs? All this concern over cars and driving and global warming but eating meat seems to be worse than driving a Hummer. http://www.scientificamerican....
Eating meat may the only thing that can save us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Fight desertification, sequester carbon AND grow good food. The guy in the TED talk points out that this works well in terrible conditions.
"Fascism is for the only liberty which can be a serious thing, the liberty of the state and of the individual in the state. Therefore for the fascist, everything is in the state, and no human or spiritual thing exists, or has any sort of value, outside the state. In this sense fascism is totalitarian, and the fascist state which is the synthesis and unity of every value, interprets, develops and strengthens the entire life of the people."
—Benito Mussolini, Giovanni Gentile, Doctrine of Fascism (1932)
Many, many people WANT this in America. Flame away, but pretty much everyone who votes for Democrats explicitly support this. (Not that Republicans give any real alternative *heavy sigh*). Of course they expect that the real burden will fall on someone else, but the principle is that the government will take care of everything and make all the important decisions. Decisions about food, housing, healthcare, guns, everything. Did you get an expensive loan for a university degree in interpretive dance? No problem, the government will take money away from "rich people" and pay it for you.
Please ignore the fact that if ALL the theoretical money from ALL the "rich" was confiscated it wouldn't pay but a fraction of one year of the Obama deficit. Not the budget, a tiny portion of the deficit for one year.
Folks, you can't have all that without a totalitarian State. Or at least a State that TRIES to control everything.
