Animals don't care what the clock says, they just know they get fed at a certain time. Then they get grumpy if you feed them "an hour later" because the clock changed again. I hate the clock changing.
I am increasingly suspecting that if the bankers and financiers that were profiting from the hollowing out of the US can't have their slow, managed decline, they will deliberately take measures to crash the economy with no survivors to punish the plebs for getting uppity.
And that didn't happen overnight. The spiral has been ongoing for like 30 years. Why are people still under the illusion that there's a magical painless fix for this? There's no unicorn with a magic wand coming to save us. Any real fix is going to suck, bad, probably for years. It must be done though.
They’ll try to. Luckily that would offend the administration at this time
glowdoc had that happen to his dad
Read this post. Just because our coastal elite suck doesn't mean everyone agrees with them.
"Buy low, sell high." - things Jesus definitely said
I was prescribed statins when I was about 28. I'm not overweight and my diet isn't liquid cholesterol, but the doctor told me that about 75% of all cholesterol production is unrelated to dietary cholesterol. AKA some people just have naturally higher cholesterol and changing their diet will not affect it much unless they are borderline.
one example of this from my home state of Kentucky was the "black patch" tobacco wars. A large tobacco conglomerate (now called british-american tobacco) cornered the tobacco market and drove down prices which was threatening to put the small Kentucky/Tennessee tobacco farms out of business.
Nobody has even replied to your last post. Who are you talking to?
There isn't a smoke-filled room somewhere with a dozen billionaires sitting around a table directing national affairs. It's more like a million older paper-millionaires who truly believe they are "wealthy" because number has been artificially inflated for half their lives and don't understand the consequences of what they've done. Their brains won't allow them to understand it, they earned those paper gains and the illusion of fake wealth you see.
This was my conversation with my doctor: some people just have crazy high cholesterol and a low-dose statin works. Most doctors will give you the lowest effective dose, see what happens, and leave you there so long as you are stable and get the desired results.
I don't have a strong opinion, just an opinion. You're the one getting mad about it and, as you say, jumping down my throat. Considering the number of munchies out there, discussed on this site, I don't know why you're surprised by that comment. I understand your point about issues with psychiatrists, mental health, insurance, and so on. I don't discount that, but - respectfully - I think you're taking what I said a little too personally.
