I agree that there are many natural products that are over hyped (I'm so sick of the infomercials). However, the vast majority of them do absolutely no harm. Whereas, over the years, the FDA has approved many phamaceuticals that have killed thousands, and the attorneys are now making billions from.
And our sainted Bill Gates had quietly been buying up farmland to the point where he now is the biggest owner of farmland in the US. All in the name of philanthropy of course!
I hear you my friend... 'How an idea-thieving (a kind thing to say) little worm (another kind thing to say) like him became some sort of ambassador for health is beyond me.' ... beyond, understood, that's what makes it a subject worthy of study. Truth is stranger than fiction, always. He directly controls one of the major 'fact checking' sources, just the tip of the iceberg. There is history there. This... it.. cannot be exaggerated. Salute to your dad...
Its called big bucks.. Since "retiring" from MS 20 years ago to help feed and shelter the worlds less fortunate, he has somehow managed to nearly double his fortune. He has this image of a kind and gentle man out to give away his fortune and do the world good. WELL, 20 years later I am having a hard time swallowing that bit of PR..
I do grocery shopping every 2 weeks on average. The last two trips cost me about $100 more each compared to previous runs. Not a good sign....
Exactly. I'm averaging $110 more per week the past 6-7 weeks.
He has made billions since the covid stuff. Big bucks yes but it's so much more than that.... It's kind of amusing in an unfunny sort of way that follow the money is not acceptable for affairs like this even though it is suitable. Patents too... On the other hand he might be an altruist fellow doing his part for the good of the Earth and it's population and his trebled wealth is merely an unintended consequence of good works. I guess to know one would have to look into it and draw their own conclusions.
I have thought this as well. He has often said in his Ted Talks that the population of the earth must be reduced, and by itself I can't find fault with that. But to what end? My plan is to run (not walk) in the complete opposite direction from these types of people and their futuristic visions
Everything is going up... somethings are merely rising while others are skyrocketing. Been to the lumber store lately... what ever the reason lumber is skyrocketing.
Big demand for 1/2" plywood for boarding up store windows. Otherwise I haven't a clue
Yeah... them cobs is kinda rough for us used to softer things and besides the misses don't like 'em much either. There's folks still healing up from the last time.
Hazmat drivers make pretty good money (at least around here). I doubt that unemployment (even with the added government bonus) would come close to what they normally make. I think that increased regulations, drilling restrictions, etc. would have more of an effect on price.

You are correct. There is a shortage of drivers. There may be a few that would prefer to collect unemployment rather than earn much more working full time. However, it's the other factors that are contributing to the shortage.
) everything else. Anything fried with avocado oil comes out amazing -- it seems like it absorbs almost no oil at all. I rarely eat anything fried, but when avocado oil is used I don't feel guilty at all because it seems like it was air fried.
