> That is a highly Mormon run state that has strong stances on how you should live your life. Even if you are a "goi" (I use the word loosely to illustrate the cultural metaphor in a us v them mentality) to them.

I think you're crossing a line here. You are accusing the Mormons in Utah of having a us-versus-them mentality. But your own comment tries to turn readers against Mormons.

Never forget: The Missouri Executive Order 44, also known as the Mormon Extermination Order, was issued on October 27, 1838, by Governor Lilburn Boggs. The order authorized the expulsion of Mormons from the state and is sometimes referred to as the "Mormon Kill Law". However, the order was rescinded by Governor Christopher S. "Kit" Bond in 1976.

I think we should all be more charitable to Mormons after what they've been through.

The point is that you could gain back the original weight plus more. Most adults who become obese have not increased their number of fat cells - their fat cells just become larger.

The GLP-1 drugs literally increase the number of fat cells.

I would say: if its Tier 1 cities like Mumbai do not have a reliable supply of electricity and running water (infrastructure necessary for industry), then it is not industrialized.

Instead of trust busting these companies, the libertarian answer to them would be to invalidate their patents.

Google partially remains a search monopoly because of its search patents - of which it has many. If the state invalidates its patents and then moves out of the way, other competitors will naturally become successful.

There is no need to break up companies. Just take away some of their state-imposed advantages like patents.

AMA is a bad actor. They refuse to allow junior doctors (doctors who are MD school graduates but who have not completed residency) to practice medicine in ANY capacity.

Common sense says that junior doctors should have the same practice rights as physician assistants - but the AMA refuses to let that happen. They are a medical cartel.

A few states have allowed junior doctors to start practicing medicine in a limited capacity, because every other doctor so damn expensive. But the AMA does not support those states' decision.

> This is basically a red flag for any relationship. If the only thing making or allowing a person to be happy in life is their partner then something is wrong. Mental health is no joke and not being able to enjoy life is usually a symptom of an underlying cause. Depression is probably the most common but anxiety disorders can be similarly hard.

There is a great amount of neuro-diversity in the human species. Some people are wired to be rugged individualists who could enjoy living by themselves in a cabin in the woods. Other people are wired to need to be around their family.

For some people, its not a choice, its how their brain is wired.

Have you tried pay for business intelligence reports? Those are still "news" and they have a strong financial incentive to tell the truth

Isn't there a delay in seeing these trades? They're reported 2 months after they happen, right?

Canada is easier for legal immigrants, and much harder for illegal immigrants.

If you try to illegally immigrate into Canada, they will deport you

I found standing alone to be unpleasant so i found a "leaning chair" that allows me to slightly lean back as I stand. I do that 80% of the time and sit 20% of the time.

The leaning chair is basically a waist-high wall that you lean against. It does help me to better tolerate standing all day. Only downside is that it can hurt my knees if i don't use it correctly.

There's a group you forgot to consider: the investors.

What do the investors think? They are free to usurp the founders if they feel that Coinbase is not paying proper homage to social justice.

Both Democrats and Republicans acknowledge that the Great Recession was caused by government housing policy. So presumably - if we had a small government with no Fed - we would also have no Fannie Mae and the Great Recession would have never happened.

I have gotten the impression over the last few years that the Tor Project has embraced social justice and diversity to the detriment of their software.

> Please stop buying stuff. It's bad for the environment. But also keep working - we need you paying your taxes!

If I'm morally not allowed to buy stuff because its bad for the environment, then what incentive do I have to earn more than 40k/year? Do I exist just to pay taxes to the government to fund "more moral" causes than my own consumption?
