 Great documentary! 
 Why do banks get so many holidays? It’s as if bankers don’t actually work or add value 🤔 
 Of course hours spent working automatically adds value

 Im sure this is misleading, eat less of what? Does this mention the harms of ultra processed foods? 

Maybe eat less shit and you’ll live longer 
 Yep, nothing about WHAT to eat, just count calories? That’s it? I can eat 1800 calories of Cheetos and live longer. This is bullshit

 hot take: kamala harris isn't as dumb as she wants you to think she is.

yes, you read that right... 
 Kamala’s public image is completely different than how she is behind closed doors. You are correct she is smarter than what we have seen, maybe it’s her lack of public speaking skills 🤷‍♂️. But we know she will keep the corporatist agendas we have had since Reagan alive and well, and continue the fiat corruption and public division

 Coffee tastes good and makes you feel good, sure there are risks but everything has risks. I believe the benefits outweigh the risks.

I won’t be giving up my coffee and hope to one day share my passion for the drink with my own coffee company.

 Love to read these types of posts! Great work!

Although I might suggest reevaluating the cholesterol part. A new rabbit hole to dive into 🤭 
 Crazy how the body adjusts itself. Looking forward to diving I got your post! 
 Great read! One aspect that you may or may not have also written about is insulin resistance. 

Much like this article, the focus is always around cholesterol numbers, particle size, and inflammation markers. Insulin resistance is another marker to test that may be just as important or more important. If you are insulin sensitive, you know your body is metabolically healthy and all the systems should be functioning as they should. People who are pre-diabetic or diabetic have a difficult time repairing their bodies and LDL particles will knick the arterial walls which need to be repaired, this is where this oxidized LDL particles can enter the wall and begin the atherosclerosis process. If you are insulin sensitive, you body will repair itself before the plaque can build up. 

I am not a medical professional so my own research could be flawed and I may have been misled but since I discovered this as a potential root causes, I have focus on maintaining insulin sensitivity and inflammation above all else. And I have never felt better so YMMV

 But we need inflation to drive economic activity!

Or more accurately said, we need inflation to induce unnecessary spending on bullshit things you don’t need or provide value
