  • Most democracies would have toppled the government with protests already. It is fascinating how much the American public can take.

    Would they though? A lot of so-called democracies are turning more and more right-wing since they’re in a similar situation with far-right parties dragging “the center” towards the right and actual left-wing parties made mostly irrelevant due to the influence of the rich. Trump and gang have the subtlety of a hydrogen bomb, but that doesn’t mean other countries aren’t also suffering from rampant corruption just because the politicians have more decorum.




  • Post-covid inflation proved to companies that customers will pay up regardless because they want it and they want it now, no matter the price. Hell, we laughed at horse armor but microtransactions caught on anyway. Voting with your wallet doesn’t work because there are an endless swarm of consoomers itching to blow their money on product.






  • Most of the nutritional value I’ve seen in cereals have been through supplemental ingredients. For example, a lot of the vitamins and minerals are added in as if you crushed supplements and put them in your bowl. There are better ways of getting those nutrients, including fiber: beans, chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, flax seeds, chia seeds, various vegetables, etc. None of those require milk to be palatable and they’re much cheaper than the ultra-processed cereals. When it comes to fiber, you’ll want a variety, cereals largely just rely on bran.
