This from the “we” who called Higgs-Boson the blasphemous gd particle but make the joke more popular as the misunderstood “god particle” that eventually became most conceptualized as "the God particle?

It seems a better expenditure than flinging cars into outer space, but that’s just me. 🤷

There are a few in my area, one is struggling, but I hope they all make it.

As with McDonald’s suing Cargill et al, these are large compounders, not our local, independently owned pharmacies, who could never afford to do so. It’s just sad our lives depend on “The Clash of the Titans.”

I mean your lived experience isn’t automatically everyone else’s. In farm country, no one wears a watch, it’s dangerous. No one is hanging a wall clock in the kitchen. Food needs to be timed, as well as getting it on the table. Fun fact: a lot of us still prep a smaller meal between lunch and dinner, it generally coincides with UK tea time, or an hour earlier. Farm work is labor intensive and requires more calories. Please comprehend some people have different realities, different needs.

There are lakes, ponds and puddles that exist beyond any particular ocean, if you can grasp the analogy.

Doctors and scientists argue that standard time is better for our health. Our internal clock is better aligned with getting light in the morning, which, in turn, sets us up for better sleep cycles.

Obviously.

What? No. Noon is when the sun is directly overhead.

Amen. It’s like cutting the foot off a blanket and sewing it to the top, imagining you have a longer blanket, to borrow an analogy.

So you can time food cooking.

Simple solution. Jobs creating. Thank you.

I guess not, having grown up with them.

Plus the employees and customers could enjoy the fruit. Free fruit already gathered may entice more customers for other things. I guess food stores may not like the idea.

So the BLM lied about the (Cliven and sons) Bundy cattle degrading US property? No, I don’t sympathize with them, just saying the answer may be somewhere between each extreme. Key word: “may,” because I’m not a conservation scientist and people are people.

How do they handle that?

Hear me out; hire a few more municipal employees, care for the trees/pick the fruit, place in “blessing boxes” in public spaces, post office, library, DMV, tax office, town/city hall, worship venues etc? Employees can take what they need too?

That’s probably why we criminalize more and more symptoms of desperation, simultaneously creating more conditions of despair, tbh.

Nationalize health care. Cut the middlemen.

I feel like I’ve been living in the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits since the 80s. Things seemed they were going to take a turn for the better in the mid nineties, for about a year then went buck wild, not in a good way.

It doesn’t really help when good, fresh, organic food is priced so that a day or two’s worth is easily a week’s grocery budget. And that’s not accounting for food desserts.
