There are a few references that say glyphosate doesn't bioaccumulate well due to the chemical's "ionized state, its low octanol-water partition coefficient"[1]. However there are others that suggest glyphosate may bioaccumulate in biofilm consuming invertebrates, where biofilms concentrate glyphosate and prevent the chemical from being retained in surrounding water[2].

Personally, these concepts are newer to me and I'm not sure what to make of it all yet.

Maybe a hot take, but as others have identified, these violent outbreaks are at least in part due to social isolation, which may have something to do with lifestyle, city layout, and ease of access to public parks/things to do. Cities in the US have been set up to support cars, creating widely spread out and large landscapes, inconvenient for those who don't drive. Finding niche groups to fit in with on the internet has become easier, but irl in the US, much harder. This is independent of age group, but obviously impacts kids in a huge way. IMO, we need more places for people in communities to get together and just talk about things, engage in continued education, and have fun. Would be interesting to see if there's a correlation between after school programs, or proximity of public spaces and violence.

OP should get a security clearance and a nice government contract. I did this for a while in my 20s and the work was super minimal, but your clearance/"expertise" combination gives you some protection from being ousted.

During this time, I was able to attempt to start my own company on the side, travel, and do things that were really exciting to me and gave my life more balance and meaning.

Since then, I have changed jobs and now work in the private sector. I now devote my soul to the company for some altruistic goal that seems less altruistic by the day. I still find meaning working here, but I still think being able to balance out work with other fulfilling things is important and I definitely have less opportunity to do so. I will say, however, that I could take more initiative to optimize my time and do other fulfilling things in what time is available.

Ultimately I do want to have kids one day and have to think about stacking some cash, which for me means less balance, while trying to not sacrifice meaning. I think the journey is about optimizing for different lifestyles at different points in your life and going really hard to achieve any and all goals you have at the time.

So, OP, go get your government job and start that side gig, but do it at 110%. Not a lazy 50%.
