That's a perfect example, because there is literally nobody in the US government who could accomplish this as a singular action (aka flipping a switch).
You're talking about flipping the switch like it's easy but the reality is that you need to get some super-majority of politicians to all "flip the switch" at the same time, and THAT is nearly impossible.
I recommend becoming self employed. If you're self directed and good at solving problems you'll find there is endless work to do. Finding clients can be hard but most turn into long term customers if you do well on the first few tasks.
I get the obsession with lower monthly payment, because for buying your first house you're comparing to renting. Even a 50 year mortgage is a step up from that. Nobody can kick you out of the house or change the price, and you're building a little equity... But even considering that, I don't get how a 50 year mortgage would be worth it. Who wouldn't pay an extra 100 a month to cut the term by 20 years?
I don't like either article honestly. While Wikipedia reads like some TV news propaganda, the grok version also has a propaganda feel in the other direction. I dont think AI is a substitute for actual journalists trying to be neutral. How hard is it to write:
George Floyd was a black man who died while being arrested on date. A video of his death spread on social media and became highly controversial. Critics claimed he was killed by the arresting officer Deric Chauvin kneeling on his neck, while skeptics pointed out that the technique chauvin used should not have been lethal, and that Floyd likely died due to high amounts of fentanyl in his blood and other health factors.
The spread of the video of George floyds death lead to a large number of demonstrations and riots across the US...
I think is more about making dirt cheap slop that people still want to eat. The best way to do that is to use a lot of salt, fat and sugar. Add some cheap chemical flavorings, and preservatives to give massive shelf life and you have what most people eat every day.
From the article:
The 10 additives and some of their top uses:
Neotame - a sweetener in candies, drinks, baked goods and more
Aspartame - a sweetener in diet, low-fat and sugar-free items
sodium saccharin - a sweetener in drinks, food and some medications
ponceau 4R - a red food colouring
Sucralose - a sweetener in candy, drinks and chewing gum
benzoic acid - a preservative in food and medications
Cyclamate - a sweetener in beverages, desserts and jams
Acesulfame - a sweetener and flavour enhancer in baked goods
Dehydroacetic acid - a preservative in skincare, food and personal care products
Sunset yellow - a yellow food colouring
The funny thing is, its already obvious to anyone with common sense that eating artificial chemicals like these instead of real food is not going to be good for you.
Link to the study?
Closest I can find is this one: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2017.08.035 Pdf link is at the top.
One thing I have noticed related to this is if you look at the safety studies for many vaccines, they ALWAYS include aluminum adjuvant in the control injection.
That movie was so fucking stupid.
There's a whole rebuttal documentary called fathead, where a computer programmer debunks every point in the movie. At the same time, he eats nothing but McDonalds for a month, while losing weight and improving his blood work. Literally all he had to do was exercise and pick healthier options on the menu (no soda, etc).
And is there anyone who could create such a law as a singular action? It's only as easy as flipping a switch if a majority of politicians start working together in unison, which they literally NEVER do.
Describe to me ANY realistic way that such a law could be passed that doesn't involve pages and pages of negotiating tactics to bring in various interests groups, and keep them in line to get it done. Deals need to be negotiated, compromises made, and on and on and on forever.
