That goose meme is spot on. MJT is also shooting straight. More power to her - and God Bless Thomas Massie!

Ozempic is going to kill a lot of people who are unable to eat well. I feel very fortunate that I lucked into eating once a day. It's really only because I love my work so much that it's actually hard to break away to eat lunch, and sometimes by the end of the day I'm just too physically exhausted to bother about making a meal, and sometimes skip eating altogether. Today I hadn't eaten by 3pm, and then I saw a post with a Shepherd's Pie recipe that I literally began to drool and nuked up some boiled veg and sausage I had cooked in a crock pot a couple days ago. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have had the juice to push food down my neck. I empathize with folks that enjoy eating so much that it's hard to maintain a healthy weight. I enjoy working so much that I just keep losing weight, and am now down ~70 lbs from my fattest, and that is why I have no interest in Ozempic or etc.

I got fat when I worked for companies, and food was more desirable than work. Now I work for myself, and love what I do more than I enjoy food. One of these days I'm going to fall off a ladder (today I would have fallen with a running chain saw) and get hurt enough to keep me off ladders, and then I'll probably get fat again.

The government of England is clearly the enemy of the English people. Government everywhere is the enemy of their people. We don't need government or corporations, nor can we continue to survive them as they become openly tyrannical and hostile to civil society. It's well past time to stop enabling such polities and institutions and adopt decentralized means of production that enables us to make ourselves the blessings of civilization without any management. I am happy that the nascent transition to decentralized production appears to me to be more economically productive and rewarding, and therefore appears likely to continue and to become more productive as the tech advances and proceed more quickly over time to rid us of the plague of psychopaths that prey on our most innocent and destroy the best of us. I become more confident every day that the eventual result of the incipient evolution of society appears more free, more prosperous, and better in every way than any human could possibly plan and implement.

The increasing automation of individual production will hopefully compensate for my increasing age and debility, especially if I do fall off a ladder with a running chainsaw! That chart is horrible. I injured my back in the 1990s, and have continued to work as I do despite chronic pain - perhaps even because I take great satisfaction in overcoming it (kind of a creepy trait, if you ask me) - for 10 years longer than the period covered by that chart. Many people don't have the option to overcome pain to work because their disabilities directly impede their ability to perform tasks. I expect most of the jab-injured are amongst that latter group, and decentralization may yet offer them the ability to continue to achieve, to contribute productively despite their afflictions, and enable them to take satisfaction in overcoming their physical limitations.

Decentralization of the means of production yet promises to create a society of free and prosperous people despite an aging and disabled population. Making what we need using automated table top additive manufacturing holds that promise. The psychological disabilities, like lying more you mention, aren't something that hold that potential, and I desperately hope such harms aren't predominant, or even common. I further hope that antiparasitics continue to provide anticancer benefits, and perhaps more medications are shown to dramatically reduce or even eliminate adverse jab effects.

The medical industrial complex will become increasingly irrelevant as more table top tech continues to replace centralized production, such as Drugs on demand. When we can fire up our personal drug factory to make our own medicine, we won't need Pfizer or John Hopkins anymore.

It's always darkest before the dawn, but the dawn is looking brighter by the day.

Thanks!
