> That is a highly Mormon run state that has strong stances on how you should live your life. Even if you are a "goi" (I use the word loosely to illustrate the cultural metaphor in a us v them mentality) to them.
I think you're crossing a line here. You are accusing the Mormons in Utah of having a us-versus-them mentality. But your own comment tries to turn readers against Mormons.
Never forget: The Missouri Executive Order 44, also known as the Mormon Extermination Order, was issued on October 27, 1838, by Governor Lilburn Boggs. The order authorized the expulsion of Mormons from the state and is sometimes referred to as the "Mormon Kill Law". However, the order was rescinded by Governor Christopher S. "Kit" Bond in 1976.
I think we should all be more charitable to Mormons after what they've been through.
The point is that you could gain back the original weight plus more. Most adults who become obese have not increased their number of fat cells - their fat cells just become larger.
The GLP-1 drugs literally increase the number of fat cells.
Petro Dobromylskyj is one of the foremost experts of fat metabolism. He has a blog called Hyperlipid where he's been blogging about fat metabolism and interpreting research for close to 10 years.
He thinks the GLP-1 inhibitor drugs will be a disaster in the long term because they 1) cause weight loss but also 2) cause the body to create lots of new adipocyte (fat cells). Increasing the number of adipocytes is very unusual after puberty. As long as you are taking the GLP-1 inhibitor drugs you will lose or maintain weight, but as soon as you stop you will gain a lot of weight back.
I would say: if its Tier 1 cities like Mumbai do not have a reliable supply of electricity and running water (infrastructure necessary for industry), then it is not industrialized.
Instead of trust busting these companies, the libertarian answer to them would be to invalidate their patents.
Google partially remains a search monopoly because of its search patents - of which it has many. If the state invalidates its patents and then moves out of the way, other competitors will naturally become successful.
There is no need to break up companies. Just take away some of their state-imposed advantages like patents.
AMA is a bad actor. They refuse to allow junior doctors (doctors who are MD school graduates but who have not completed residency) to practice medicine in ANY capacity.
Common sense says that junior doctors should have the same practice rights as physician assistants - but the AMA refuses to let that happen. They are a medical cartel.
A few states have allowed junior doctors to start practicing medicine in a limited capacity, because every other doctor so damn expensive. But the AMA does not support those states' decision.
> This is basically a red flag for any relationship. If the only thing making or allowing a person to be happy in life is their partner then something is wrong. Mental health is no joke and not being able to enjoy life is usually a symptom of an underlying cause. Depression is probably the most common but anxiety disorders can be similarly hard.
There is a great amount of neuro-diversity in the human species. Some people are wired to be rugged individualists who could enjoy living by themselves in a cabin in the woods. Other people are wired to need to be around their family.
For some people, its not a choice, its how their brain is wired.
I found standing alone to be unpleasant so i found a "leaning chair" that allows me to slightly lean back as I stand. I do that 80% of the time and sit 20% of the time.
The leaning chair is basically a waist-high wall that you lean against. It does help me to better tolerate standing all day. Only downside is that it can hurt my knees if i don't use it correctly.
Both Democrats and Republicans acknowledge that the Great Recession was caused by government housing policy. So presumably - if we had a small government with no Fed - we would also have no Fannie Mae and the Great Recession would have never happened.
I have gotten the impression over the last few years that the Tor Project has embraced social justice and diversity to the detriment of their software.
> Please stop buying stuff. It's bad for the environment. But also keep working - we need you paying your taxes!
If I'm morally not allowed to buy stuff because its bad for the environment, then what incentive do I have to earn more than 40k/year? Do I exist just to pay taxes to the government to fund "more moral" causes than my own consumption?
> I’d love to own stock in them but i’m happier to have them stay private and not beholden to anyone else’s interests.
Stay private = only accredited investors (millionaires) can invest in them
Public companies = everyone can invest in them, including children, the poor, public pensions, etc.
Why would you want them to stay private and have only wealthy investors? You expect a company that has investors that are 100% from the upper class to act ethically? How many POC are wealthy enough to be accredited investors?
> The FDA made it mandatory for food manufacturers to list their ingredients on food they sell
FDA still allows companies to hide ingredients under the guise of "natural flavors" and "artificial flavors". I hope you aren't allergic to one of those!
> Every citizen who drives a motor vehicle must be issued a driver's licence by the state they reside in. This enables a minimum understanding of how a complex machine (the highway transportation system) works so that other drivers / participants of that system can use it safely.
You can absolutely have a strong economy when housing has crashed.
Housing crashed = cheaper housing = more labor mobility = labor can spend more money on their "higher level needs" like eating at restaurants or elective medical care or online shopping.
Would you say "you cannot have a strong economy while the food prices have crashed"? Obviously not, lowered food prices would be seen as a good thing by everyone.
This quote is essentially saying... that the root of fiscal conservatism and small government conservatism is racism. In the 1960s and still today, people support states' rights as an indirect way to hurt black people...?
This quote is terrible and one of the most racist things I've ever read. It tries to interject race into forms of political theory that have nothing to do with race. Just absolutely toxic for society.
It's sampling bias. Plenty of people eat healthy diets in America. But if you only look at people who get very sick with COVID, they're far more likely to eat a bad diet
