1997: lowered to 126.
Millions of new diabetics. Same blood.

A third of American adults, created by a footnote.

American hypertension goes from 32 per cent of adults to 46. Thirty-one million new patients in a morning.

Statin eligibility expands by millions.
Eight of the nine men who wrote that 2004 update were on the payroll of companies selling statins. They disclosed it only when forced.
1994: a WHO panel invents osteopenia. Bone that is not thin enough to break, given a name and a prescription. Half of older women qualify.
Nobody got sicker on any of those dates. A committee sat down and a number moved.
The threshold drops, the market widens, and the drug is already licensed and sitting in the warehouse.
Your grandfather was healthy at 145/92. You are ill at 132/81.
Nothing about the body has changed. Only the paperwork, and who profits from it.
WE SHOULD ALL AGREE THAT IF YOUR PRESIDENCY CAN BE DESTROYED BY RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES, IT DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED BY RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES 🤷
Todd Blanche, nuevo fiscal general y ex-abogado personal de Trump, dice q ni procesarán a los pederastas de los archivos de Epstein ni revelarán sus nombres. Es decir, q encubrirán los delitos. EEUU es, a casi todos los efectos, una dictadura...
You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

BOOMER: "Just buy a house. It's not that hard."
YOU: "The average house is $420,000."
BOOMER: "I bought mine for $40,000."
YOU: "That's why it's hard."
BOOMER: "I saved up a down payment. You can too."
YOU: "You needed $4,000 down. I need $84,000."
BOOMER: "Work harder."
YOU: "I make $70,000. Banks say I can barely afford $280,000."
BOOMER: "Buy something cheaper then."
YOU: "There's nothing cheaper. Everything starts at $400,000."
BOOMER: "In my day we sacrificed."
YOU: "You sacrificed 2 years of salary for a house. I'd need 8."
BOOMER: "Stop making excuses."
YOU: "It's not an excuse. It's math."
BOOMER: "I did it on one income."
YOU: "That's the whole point. You could. I can't."
BOOMER: *silent*
You didn't buy a house because you were disciplined.
You bought one because it was actually affordable.
Walmart killed Main Street, Amazon killed the shopping malls, social media killed social interaction and AI is in the early stages of killing humanity.
I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.
