@unusual_whales This does nothing, literally. How many "institutions" will be created as subsidiaries for the sole purpose of buying single family homes? Did the cap that as well?
The most fucked up thing about American food is that you have to be a paranoid lunatic just to feed yourself something that won't kill you in 30 years.
You're paying $400 a month at Whole Foods to avoid $200,000 in medical bills the food industry will hand you at 60.
The default snack is a chemical no European country lets in. The default cooking oil was invented in 1911 in a soap factory by Procter and Gamble. The default protein bar is sugar wrapped in marketing. The default "healthy" yogurt has more sugar than ice cream. The default breakfast cereal was invented by a guy who wanted to make people less horny.
That's not a joke btw. John Harvey Kellogg literally believed corn flakes would reduce masturbation. The cereal aisle is downstream of his crusade.
You have to FIGHT to find real bread.
FIGHT to find a chicken that wasn't raised in a steroid bath.
FIGHT to find olive oil that hasn't been cut with canola in a warehouse in Spain.
FIGHT to find a restaurant that doesn't cook everything in soybean oil.
FIGHT to read every label like it's evidence at a murder trial.
Your great-grandfather ate what was on his farm and he lived to 89. You eat 87 ingredients you can't pronounce per meal and you'll be on a statin at 52.
Somehow this is "progress."
The American food industry is a $1.5 trillion machine and the medical industry is a $4.5 trillion machine. Different shareholders, same business model: make you sick, then sell you the management.

Same parent companies sometimes. PepsiCo owns Quaker. Quaker pushed oatmeal as "heart healthy" while loading it with sugar. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuit, Wheat Thins. Kraft Heinz owns Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Capri Sun, Lunchables. The 7 companies that make 87% of what's on a typical American grocery shelf all have pharma stock holdings 2 to 3 layers deep.
The grocery walkthrough that actually keeps you alive:
> Outer aisles only. Produce, meat, dairy, eggs. Inner aisles are 90% chemistry experiments.
> Meat: pasture-raised, grass-fed, no antibiotics. Costco has decent options. Local farmers are better. Skip "natural" labels (means nothing).
> Eggs: pasture-raised, NOT cage-free (means nothing), NOT free-range (means almost nothing). Vital Farms is the easiest find.
> Butter: Kerrygold or any grass-fed brand. The yellow color is beta-carotene from grass. Pale butter = grain fed.
> Olive oil: California Olive Ranch, Kirkland's California, or single-estate Italian. Most "Italian" olive oil at Costco is Spanish-Tunisian blends cut with sunflower oil. Litigation pending.
> Bread: sourdough from a local bakery or Ezekiel-style sprouted. Avoid anything with "vegetable oil" or "soybean oil" in the ingredients.
What to delete from the cart entirely:
> Anything in a bag that didn't exist in 1950 (chips, crackers, cereal in a box, pre-mixed dressings)
> Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower
> Anything with HFCS, "natural flavors," carrageenan, soy lecithin, BHT, BHA
> Sweetened yogurt (buy plain, sweeten with honey or fruit)
> Pre-packaged "healthy" snacks (granola bars, RX bars, protein cookies)
The 4-step kitchen audit that actually works:
> Cook 6 nights a week. No restaurants on weeknights. The exposure compounds when families eat out 4 times a week.
> Buy meat from one farmer for the year. Costs the same per pound, eat better cuts.
> Eggs and rice are superfoods. Stop chasing trendy ones. The basics still print.
> Skip protein bars. A boiled egg + an apple beats every $4 bar on the shelf and costs $0.80.

I am 28 years old, and I have lived my entire life suffocating under the Islamic Republic. I am writing this from the streets of Tehran, nearly a month into a war, and let me tell you a truth that the outside world cannot seem to comprehend:
My biggest fear right now is not the missiles.
My paralyzing, everyday terror is walking out my front door and hitting an IRGC checkpoint. It is the sickening knot in my stomach when the people I love step outside, knowing they might get dragged away by these monsters. Nothing is, was, or ever will be worse than this regime. You cannot convince me otherwise.
I am bleeding myself dry. I spend every ounce of my energy and money fighting this digital blackout, buying VPN after VPN just to force a connection through so I can be the voice of my people. And what do I see when I finally get online? Analysts sitting safely abroad telling us, *"You haven't tried all the paths yet!"*
Are you out of your minds?
The last "path" we took, over 40,000 of us didn't come home. On that path, a live bullet flew centimeters past my ear and right past the head of the most precious person in my life. I almost lost my best friend forever on that asphalt. What goddamn path is left to take?
Why do you trample on the spilled blood of my compatriots? Why do you spend your time fighting Crown Prince @PahlaviReza instead of listening to a crushed, bleeding nation?
Last night, I watched his speech. Do you know what I felt?
Relief.
The profound relief of hearing an honorable man echo the exact pain and demands of his people, with more precision than anyone else. And I felt pride. I felt absolute pride in the truth, structure, and beauty of his words.
Do you know how heartbreaking it is that pride is a foreign, alien emotion for an Iranian today? He gave that back to us.
We screamed his name with all our might. 40,000 of our fallen heroes signed his leadership with their own blood.
Stop fighting our choice.
Listen to us.
@zachhomol_ Being able to step outside and walk anywhere from your house is a huge advantage in life. Whether it's into the forest for quiet time or to a local business. This is the biggest reason I love living in Germany, I have the practical freedom of being able to walk!
@LombardiHimself Trade him for a 2 and sign Zach Wilson. Rinse and repeat! Highly drafted QB prospect that went into a messy situation, labeled bust, but has a high ceiling. Sam, Mac.......Zach!
Morning vs evening workouts arenโt about preference.
Theyโre about hormones.
Morning training improves insulin sensitivity, circadian rhythm, and consistency.
Evening training often boosts strength and power due to higher body temperature.
The best workout time? The one that supports your sleep and keeps you training long term
@zachhomol_ Community is everything whether it's church or something else. I've lived all over the place and my favorite places always have the greatest sense of community.
It's time to sell Silver and buy Bitcoin.
The people buying physical silver today are the ones who will be stuck holding the bag for years to come.
This will be my final warning.
The narratives being pushed are mostly inaccurate or straight up lies.
Temporary pressures on the supply will eventually be eased and you'll be left holding a commodity that has no value beyond its utility.
Brazil is the world's largest producer of coffee by a significant margin. If problems started occurring with their production, would you start stacking coffee beans?
No, you wouldn't.
Traders would place a quick trade and profit from the temporary supply shock. They would not be accumulating coffee beans.
Silver is not a store of value.
As a monetary asset, Silver has failed.
If you adjust for inflation and monetary debasement, Silver has massively underperformed.
It reached a high of $38.50 in 1980 and did not surpass this all-time high until 2011. It is currently trading at just under $80 in 2025.
You are taking massive risks buying today and hoping for significant returns.
People have been stuck in their positions for a very long time which is why you're seeing the relentless shilling and hubris by Silver Bugs.
Meanwhile, smart money is accumulating the best asset ever created during a cyclical down year.
That asset is Bitcoin.
A true store of value, a true money.
Sell Silver, buy Bitcoin.
I want you to come back to this post in 12 months.
@Honeybo52188140@anymanfitness Have you actually gotten cut like this? Fasting is way easier for me as I don't do well with moderation, but can eat healthy. I'm stuck on the left.
@Mr_Husky1 It's a damn shame that manual labor is no longer enough to make ends meet. It gets worse before it gets better with AI replacing alot of jobs over the next 5 years. It's a challenging world to navigate in times like these.
