It's a legit Jefferson quote:

https://tjrs.monticello.org/letter/1383

Extract from Thomas Jefferson to “Henry Tompkinson” (Samuel Kercheval)
Monticello July 12 1816

I am not among those who fear the people. they and not the rich, are our dependance for continued freedom. and to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt ... if we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries & our comforts, in our labors & our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor 16. hours in the 24. give the earnings of 15. of these to the government for their debts and daily expences; and the 16th being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal & potatoes.

Patrick says

Jefferson himself was in great debt when he died.

Yes, I learned that at some point. Amazing that a guy so smart could let that happen.

Another selfless lass interested in the personality, kindness, nurturing skills, insights, charm and merits of the drone.

Gluttony is a sin fat fucks automatically don't go.

Not all fat people are fat because of guttony. Sure there are people who over eat and keep eating after they aren't hungry.
But many get a blown out back or some other debilitating injury, and they become less active consuming more calories than they are capable of burning.
Some people are don't even have a frame that suited one way or another. They look like a rolled up rug no matter what size they are.
Those that hate on fat people because it's the thing to do. Will be rewarded by Karma with the fat gift of Irony one day.
There are more fit people going to hell for vanity than there are overweight people that are fat due to gluttony.

No, not all, but nearly all. The US has an abundance of cheap high calorie food and thus a high population of overweight people. Human anatomy seems to be designed for calorie shortages, so the fat storage system in adults will pack away the excess as fat. The cure is to eat less while keeping activity up. If eating less was not a cure, then gastric bypass and stomach stapling would not work.

The US has a serious lack of abundantly cheap and accessible sustenance, the alternative is starvation.

I don't subscribe to the "Ideal" body fat index. Some people look great with up to 20 extra pounds, some people look like a duffle bag stuffed with raw chicken.
It doesn't make super skinny the ideal body shape or size. As far as what I would call Morbidly obese, they are not as common as the petty shit munches that pushes fat divide and conquer canard would have everyone believe. Sure they are out there, but they aren't a plurality of the population that they are made out to be. More over, they are none of my fucking business, and I would dare to wager, they are none of yours.

Keep talking shit about the fat people. I cautioned Patnet way back before he converted the open source chat website into the new Patnet. That the only purpose of the fat shaming was, solely to get people divided, while they jacked up food prices and created a serious food security problem in this country, and lack of cheap affordable nutrition. It just didn't add up, that Moose Obama a fat ass chuncker himself, was harping on fat people while not doing a damn fucking thing to make healthful food abundant and affordable. The exact opposite was happening. So instead of bitching about fat people, where's the rage in the intentional destruction of America's food distribution infrastructure?

Everyone laughed at me, when I told them where this was headed, and by God that's exactly what happened.

Do you really give a fuck about all of the fat people living in your head, than you do the fast approaching $30 chicken?

Pointing out that overeating causes overweight does not mean I want to ban food, any more than saying alcohol causes drunkenness means that I want to ban bars. If people want to get fat or drunk, I could not care less. Just do not say that overeating and boozing have nothing to do with the end result.

Hey she wanted an island in her kitchen but only after they put in a $20K floor.
If they go to a Builder Architectural store, and not your local Home Creepo, they could find some very nice cylinder cladding to make a column.

What I hate are those ridiculous pendent lights. I have people asking me to hang them in bathrooms, tiny bathrooms at that. Have them dangle down in front of the mirror. I'm like "How in the fuck are you going to shave or pop your pimples with a light dangling down in front of your face?"

Those pendent lights will be one of those embarrassing things that people have to pay to rip out and replace when we move on to the next THING.
