Bro you’re gross. 21 year old travels to another country and has sex with a 12 year old. This was not a technicality.

My man, raspberry jam is where it"s at. Perfect sweet/tart to PB ratio. No other spread has beaten it yet.

Consider this.

Just because people can consume pure lard, and gain a tonne of weight, it doesnt mean theyre not malnutritioned. It also doesnt mean they dont experience hunger.

If you take a step back and consider the primary question that needs to be answered is it

a) What weight is a measure of hunger/poverty - people must be over x weight irrespective if health and were good. b) What food availability us a measure of hunger/poverty - people must have reasonable acess to a basic set of nutritional inputs and were good.

You seem to be following a - people are fat, so hunger doesnt exist

When it would be equally truthful, with a different conclusion to say - people are feeling hunger and experiencing malnutrition. When they can eat, what they can afford causes increased body mass without fulfilling their nutritional requirements. They also continue to feel hungry.

Treat food similar to medicine, the good benefit is the target, but there are also side effects. Cheaper food has a worse profile - fewer (not none) benefits, and higher side-effects.

Theres also more complexity to this - poverty isnt just $. Education, transportation, time, exhaustion, health. Many intersections and impacts that paint a persons life.

If only there was some way to confirm, short of only reading the headline, if theres more to this.

Oh, apparently theres further text in the article, for example 29% said their financial situation is precarious. 11% say they regularly dont eat enough, so they have enough food for their kids, 24% say theyre very concerned with coping with the increase in food prices. Oh and 12%, within the past 6 months, have skipped meals while hungry.

So the article sources survey data, you’re basing your claims on better primary data I take it? Or maybe secondary public health database datasets? Something else?

33% is the easy one… 1/3 of 6 is 2, 1/3 of 1 is 0.33… 2.33…

Ah yes. 80. Wealth to scale

Now imagine if you lived in a society where someone gave a shit about your problems. And maybe they even have the skills and resources to fix them more efficiently than you would. Or not, does it matter, theyre willing to help.

That is god teir!

• Lost gold
• A kidnap victim
• Your target as a prof. hitman
• Inspiration for your novel
• A cure for cancer
• A path to immortality
• Your lost car keys

This could probably uplift any path you choose to take in life.

I think people know? A franchise brings in x million per year, from the gross x percent goes to head office, remainder is used for operating costs and the balance is whats left for the franchisee. What you seem to be ignoring is that a shift in one cost doesnt mean everything else remains static. McDs head office wont enforce x percent of gross in a high labour market if it forces the franchise to close down.

Analysts create forecasts on the sustainable extraction of wealth from the community. By way of example. If there is a change in law meaning labour is now paid $4/h the franchisee wont jusy make 300k insteaf of 150k per year. The monthly fees will also go up, and the franchisee may make 200k a year now, with an additional 100k going to head office.

Prices also dont double with doubling of labour costs, the entire system is dynamic, with a readjustment of how much value each stakeholder takes from the overall pie.

I dont know if people act purposefully dense when these things come up or actually cant see beyond their immediate situation, but you dont get “double prices, all businesses close down, the economy will collapse” when you force a slight shift of the value pie towards labour that creates the value.

Sorry if the franchisee will now only get $100k per year in the bank per franchise managed by their team, instead of $150k, and head office can only capture 3.5% of gross instead of 4.5%, its totally worth it if hundreds and thousands of employees are not staying up at night worrying about paying for their gas, electricity, prescriptions or clothes for their kids.

What’s a “real American” and why does their opinion hold objective value?

Wouldnt want people to have any protection from the sun when its hot out

Thanks a lot for the post! Super nice to hear. Would also like to point out that “the customer is always right” was originally meant for sales. I.e. if they want a meat themed car, sell it to them, dont tell them its in bad taste. So for more ways than one treat those that serve you with respect. Theyre serving the community, not your servants.
