If only there was an indicator, a history from RFK Jr, where he incorrectly cites medical studies, pushes vaccine hesitancy, and contributed to 83 measles deaths in 2019 🤔

Maybe that's how he gets a clean bill of health from his physician-he can only be at the exam long enough to have Trump tell him his vitals, and collect his medical records.

Translation: we are going to employ the non-college educated Trump voters. They will get to work over 12 hours a day making below minimum wage, and they won't be able to afford the new prices in groceries.

I mean Trump's tariffs are really meant to move tax burdens away from the billionaires and lump more of them to the working class having to pay a greater sales tax. His net worth has doubled thanks in part to MEME crypto: so yes, there's still a future for Bukele's crypto and US crypto reserves.

Trump has always been litigious: being involved with thousands of lawsuits, even before his presidency. Now he's strong armed all the top law firms to offer millions of dollars worth of pro bono work for him. He can easily let Harvard dangle in the courts for ages.

I've basically been resigned to the fact that anything can happen at any given day. A plane incident, having an executive order calling Canada Northern USA, Trump deciding to attack Lesotho again with an additional 50% tariff. I'd try to just find the humor in it, if it weren't ruining our country

Yes, but Trump has the best people: blonde bimbo Leavitt will say Trump won in the biggest landslide.....so it doesn't matter what public opinion is. We need to tank the US dollar and investment in bonds....because gosh darn it we'll have so much wealth (for the 1%).

Great, I already know this involves feeding everything to Grok. Which is an AI that's already been fed right leaning internet feeds with questionable interpretations of the Bill of Rights, what form of government the US is, and how Hungry is a role model for government and dwindling economy.

Chuck lost the memo that popularity of his party is at an all time low. Having this belief that people will want to flock from a chaotic party to a party with no strategy, is just misguided. It’s as if he’s slept through the last 9 years.

The State Dept has also issued a statement that non-citizens should be deported if their "presence in the country damages U.S. foreign policy interests". Don't be surprised when they start jailing US Citizens if their speech is not in line with "U.S. policy".

Somehow they can spend millions deporting hundreds of residents to a super prison overnight (a prison they're also paying for). They can send Kristi Noam for her photo op with a drop of her cowboy hat. But comply with SCOTUS and send a legal resident back to the US, just impossible.

No wonder it's not available to order. If you try to find it on E-bay, prices range from $200-$2,000.

So if she's triggered by a person's gender pronouns, we should all just refer to her as it? As in it's the ditsy blonde-the perfect credentials for Trump.

Can't afford veteran federal employees....but can afford a $92 million Flag Day/DJT Birthday. Can't afford veterans having access to the VA, but can afford $3 million each weekend on golf.

They were at least applicable charities that he could claim as deductions for his taxes.

Also, since he never divested his businesses, his salary went to tax deductions. It pays to be a corrupt real estate mogul who can claim his presidential income is not going to his personal, taxable income.

Unfortunately the administration is so mental, it's always tariffs on.....now I'll slap you with an extra 10-30% tariffs. Maybe not now, but a few days from now. 70 countries are begging me (when it's actually a dozen).

I live in the city-Atlanta GA. I like it for all the international cuisine it has. Also being a city, it still has plenty of green areas. Though I live in a townhouse, so not much yard work. More time for cooking and beer brewing.

Indeed: I used to work at the CDC: almost all my contacts on LinkedIn are looking for work: and savings are tanking. Then he’s also screwed world trade (at least the rest of the world will recover when they sever ties with the US).

The union chairs might have endorsed Harris, but Trump got more support from union members than he ever did before. He had an auto union worker donning MAGA attire lavishly praising him during his Liberation speech.

It's to setup Trump's announcement that migrants will face $1,000 per day fines (and $1 million back fines). Raising costs and not bringing new high paying jobs for citizens is not enough....we also can't have essential workers in services, construction, and agriculture.

The only time she'd do that is if she was forced to sell her 60,000 Rolex. She's having too much fun playing dress up agent with big gun, or prison guard in front of prisoners who didn't have due process.

This is RFK Jr we're talking about: you can be sure that when he tries to say he's citing studies, it's complete BS. And he also has a history of making up BS discriminating ethnicities.

Too bad he's now pressured top law firms to do pro bono work for the administration-I'm sure they'll say that means civil lawsuits that impede his duties as POTUS. We're at a point where Bondi will prosecute again for the crime, and say they need the death sentence because "he won in a landslide"

I also like with MyFitnessPal that I can save recipes. Some I try to do some fat substitutes: occasionally it will have an ingredient with incorrect calories (it's only a few that I've had to google and find a correct item from their list).

Hope weather is good for you: it was really nice today in GA-went for a 5K run.

I like my Apple Watch since I get cellular (so I can listen to guided running or just track my vitals when streaming Apple Music). As for setting my macro goals, I mainly just watched some YouTube videos from fitness folks with their recommended for fitness goals.

IMO Noom is expensive and buggy: group chat with a mentor stopped working, and you can't save your own recipes. MyFitnessPal is $75/yr for all unlocked features (tracking macros and using bar code scanner). I have a rowing machine and weights for Apple Fitness+ (along with Apple Watch).

I never included that much refined sugar/high fructose in my diet. Though I will have Coke Zero as a pick me up soda. Even health conscious people tend to overlook the calories/sugars in condiments. I'm always going to want carbs with beer and pasta. I've upped my protein for weight training.

Chronic health issues I've had is high blood pressure and cholesterol. Was BMI 30, and got to solid overweight with Zoom. Plateaued for a while, until I switched to MyFitnessPal (which is easier to track all calories). With that and Apple Fitness/running I'm maintaining BMI 24.

What's eye opening is that she also reviews a British TV series, Secret Eaters. It's always a person/couple who say they don't snack and eat reasonable food, yet they can't lose weight. So many people don't actively track every calorie they intake.

Sorry, OP just reminded me about the plug for the new book. While it's not the same topic of chronic health concerns, I thought it a good example of what government contracts do. Of course all is moot as Trump guts the EPA, federal land protections, and gives handouts to private companies.

I wasn't disagreeing about the work hazards of coal dust (lobbying tries to overlook the health hazards all workers face). I was pointing to government leading to a technology to save the average 10 deaths a year due to cave ins (and how privatization wouldn't have the incentive for it).
comment in response to

Will do. At least I've found you can get a sense of how many sugars you're getting from the nutrition label: always look at my carbs. I watch YT Kiana Docherty. She recently showed how fruit snacks are deceptive about how much sugar is in them (even main ingredient fruit purée can have sugar).

I think the bond market cares less about that and more about the US standing in the world....which has sunk because of a petulant administration wanting to impose a 10% tariff with all their allies, and threaten more on any given day. Less countries are going to invest in the US and the US dollar.
comment in response to

Michael Lewis's new book Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service has a collection of contributions federal workers have made. One of them is a former miner, who found how to prevent cave ins. He's said it only could be done by government, as a company wouldn't share the technology.

He and Trump are encouraging more food deserts (fewer kids will have access to whole foods, or food at all with the elimination of SNAP). Floors me that RFK has claimed that McDonald's fries are healthier with beef fat-no Bobby, less kids were obese because smaller serving sizes.
comment in response to
post
while some continue to get laid off (as car manufacturing will contract due to the lower demand). All the rural kids will go hungry as DOGE and the GOP takes away SNAP. Most Trump voters will find out FAFO: except the billionaires who like the idea of no taxes for them and all burdens on the 98%.

Trump's largest voting base were uneducated white voters. In the coming months they'll find out their grocery prices will be going up, they won't be able to afford a car, appliances, or electronics. UAW Trump voters will find out their profit sharing checks will go down 1,000-5,000, /cont

"They still say Trump's presidency is excellent...minus the...." That means they're only in the early stages of denial.

This is what they get for endorsing Trump, and ignoring all economists who were forewarning what tariffs actually do. They also get an estimated $4,000 a year extra costs for consumer goods.

Pam Bondi-always showing she’s maintaining the impartiality and integrity of the DOJ. Never just regurgitate Trump rhetoric🙄

Kennedy fired essential research in cancer, vaccines, and infectious disease. But he’ll spend tax payer money to push new anti-vaxx hires to use pseudoscience.

Countries really want to work with an administration threatening an additional 10-50% additional tariffs at any given day.

Bonds are will continue to lower as other countries have soured on investing in the US, and will dump the dollar as a world reserve. But let’s believe him and “Americans don’t have investments” Bessent claim 70 countries have contacted them to negotiate the random current and future tariffs. cont
