In recent days, Trump and his surrogates have:
—Promised to repeal the CHIPS Act, which would cost thousands of American manufacturing jobs
—Promised to raise taxes on imported goods by up to “one thousand percent,” which would skyrocket your prices
—Promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would rip away health care from millions of Americans
—Promised that Trump’s economic plans will cause “hardship” for the middle class, saying it’s “necessary”

Corporate greed is DuPont making $1.62 billion in profits this year, spending $1 billion on stock buybacks, paying its CEO $20 million & being fined just $480,000 for the release of a chemical that causes leukemia.
It costs $508,250 to treat just 1 kid with leukemia in America.

light is actually a pretty distant third; the single most important thing for regulating sleep-wake times is caloric intake. eat breakfast/first meal no more than two hours after your desired wake time, and do not eat *anything* for at least four hours before your desired bedtime

The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.
$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.
Instead four people shot, including an officer.

Sleep masks are probably still my favorite cheap item that improves quality of life, but I just discovered electric insect bite treatment devices, and they're surely a contender.
Maybe everyone else already knows about them, but a short (3 sec) application of heat with one of these things appears to immediately cure the irritation of mosquito bites. (~100% success rate for me.)
I'm not sure how well understood the mechanism is, but I guess it denatures the proteins that cause the irritation..?
One study: "Mosquito bite-induced itch was reduced by 57% within the first minute and by 81% 5–10 min after treatment, and the overall reduction in itch and pain was more pronounced than in the control group." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

I'm going to ask you to consider the incomprehensible amount of corruption in just these four sentences and consider how little we've heard about this compared to, say, Hunter's laptop.

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning:
"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

Why are so many farmers going bankrupt in Georgia?
Georgia mostly farms broilers (meat chickens). Not fruit & veggies!
And broiler prices have collapsed so hard, the value of farmland in Georgia has crashed along with it.
