3. Private equity has made long term investment a poor mans game.

I have had to tell several people I know they can't just take whatever OTC meds they want whenever they want with no side effects and it is always important to read the bottle's instructions/warnings.

I suppose to mitigate that you could have that data not immediately viewable to the patient because seeing "stress line go up" would be pretty stressful and would skew the data anyway.

Also because salt itself was much more valuable back then you wouldn't have as much or even any salt in your fresh food so you use the "preserved in an intolerable amount of salt" food products with the unsalted food products to get a quite tolerable middle ground at consumption time. Mash potatoes and pickle bits mmm

Without the potatoes, they hadn't arrived from the Americas by this point.

Clearly, they meant rutabegas, turnips, and cabbages.

> Mash potatoes and pickle bits mmm

And thus potatoes and sauerkraut was born.

While sauerkraut fermentation uses salt, the main technique preserving the cabbage is the fermentation and sauerkraut is thus not super salty (about 1% of the weight is salt)

Did anyone else hear mystical music in the background and smell fragrantly burning incense while they read that? I loved this, short, funny, interesting.

Also almost everyone who works at that company gets laid off and the few remaining have the worst job ever now. LINE GO UP THO!!

Publix has a model similar to this and it seems to work well for them both as a former employee and a customer. Their stores and products are always nice and they pay above average for their sector. They are on the expensive side but also they have good deals when you look for them especially the BOGOs. I definitely had a better time working for them than I did when I worked for Sprouts which is publicly traded and aiming at a similar market segment. I think if we are going to stick with some capitalism we need to switch to models like Publix and away from models like Sprouts and Walmart.

People on both sides of the capitalism/socialism divide also always conflate "Current Way Stock Markets Work" with capitalism. We do alot of extra damage to the average person's health and well being with the WAY we do capitalism. The plutocrats use the heavily propagandized stick of "SCARY SOCIALISM" to give you a more shriveled carrot year after year and tell you you should be thankful you dont get beat with the "SCARY SOCIALISM" stick while they still hit you with the "NO HOUSE, NO FOOD, NO HEALTHCARE" stick if you can't sell your bodily capital for enough value to please them.

The extra damage is all this profit over anything else no matter the circumstance. Look at United Healthcare getting sued because the new CEO, even if it was purely out of self preservation, decides they are going to actually give people some of the coverage they paid for and not do quite as many dirty tricks to skim as many denials off the top as they possibly can. MANY SUCH CASES

literally proving his point with this question

I am simultaneously in the seemingly opposite camps of "haha we reinvent HTML lol" and "Actually this sounds immediately useful to me".

To be human is to be multitudes.

"Only that, which carries contradiction within itself, is alive."

- G. W. F. Hegel

Thank you putting me onto this concept. I had not heard of Walt Whitman or his work before.

"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself."

Beautifully said. All that matters in the end: will it be immediately useful to people like you who imagine that it might be?
