  • There are social media videos I seen where the cheaper brands of ice cream no longer melt, even after days of sitting on the counter. Same for the cheap ice cream sandwiches. Days and they don’t lose their shape.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they no longer need refrigeration beyond the preference of enjoying it cold versus warm.

    Many parts of the EU often has North American travellers amazed how well they feel while eating *there during their vacations and how awful they feel when coming back to the north American diet. What’s a few chemicals many will say.

    It just seems everything from bread to pasta, dairy, meat, desserts etc doesn’t seem to make you feel as awful as north American food can.

    I love *Haagen Dazs vanilla bean ice cream. It’s not the cheapest but it’s one of the cleanest I can find among the big brands. Walmart etc usually has it the cheapest.

















  • I think people need to realize this is more prevalent within the conservative religious circles than they realize. Beyond the extremes of the rapture that’s been coming any day for decades, they want set their world right once and for all.

    When they throw around terms like battleready there’s a outcome where they get to kick in the heads of those they don’t like and don’t want to exist without due process.

    They are going to end all that is wrong around them with brute force and finally do what those corrupt politicians, justices, police, and government workers won’t do.

    They want to bypass anything that complicates their mob punishment. Trump keeps feeding these types as it’s useful for him to have them rattled and ready to go. The group think will not allow those stung by him to speak their truths against him. It’s not allowed.

    He is the messiah chosen by God. You know the thrice married, adulterer with porn stars while the wives were pregnant role model the religious right have been looking for all this time.

    Thank God they found him to help God save the day. God the almighty and all powerful needs a orange colored grifter loser to help God out on the mission.


  • I’ve seen people argue the real numbers of the decline for China are much worse than they have shared and they may already be past the point of no return like Japan and South Korea. It’s going to be interesting to see how they handle an aging population.

    Asia does have a more recent tradition of kids being the retirement plan so they might fair a little better than places like the US where that is not the norm anymore. The US with their infrastructure crumbling from underfunding and a general lack of care, should provide a good side by side comparison of the ride down with the differences of family versus industry support of seniors.
