As I get older, wiser, and more experienced I am embarrassed for the amount of time I spent watching professional sports.

Me, too. I watch maybe one professional sports event a year, if that. I could be saving the world.

My kid studies in a big 10 university. We are least interested in watching and cheering on strangers playing football. Why should we cheer asholes we don't know or care for (do they watch or cheer us)? Why wear a t shirt with another fooker's name on it?

Totally agree.
I find that the loudest male cheerleaders of young male sportsman tend to have lowest IQs
They get drunk and and loudly promote their sports team. They feel happy when their sports team wins and sad when their sports team loses. They are buffoons.

This is what the gov spent on a year long drama! Is there any credibility left for the sake of fake democracy or this is all about hormonal imbalances.

Interesting thing is people think this is bad while government thinks that this is their responsibility/duty/job; the management of masses. Government is there to put its interests first.

Mostly I shop at Trader Joes, which does not have a single one of those brands. They hardly have any brands at all aside from their own.

Trader Joe's is where I shop about once a week. Their groceries offer an excellent value; they carry a lot of items that are healthy. I would encourage anyone to give Trader Joe's and Aldi a try. I believe the origin of these business is Germany.

The Trader Joe's brands seem to be low grade artificial ingredient products. So-so produce as well. Walmart Neighborhood Market has better store brands and much better produce. Also, cliental at Trader Joe's are elite yuppies that ooze lefty politics. Despite the implied environmentalism, on the few times I have gone there, I am the only one on a bike.

There's nothing artificial in TJs products, whomever told you that is grossly misinformed. The produce and fruits are a bit on the older side for sure and perish faster. It's good value and a good compromise, leftoids or not.

I may be wrong about that, as I am basing that off of one time I went there looking for eggnog and found it contained artificial flavor.

Why do hospital administrators choose profit over health from sick patients? If profit is the motive, wouldn't a stream of sick patients lead to continued profits? How does one trust a business like this, that is nickel and diming sick people? People say that we should all be ashamed of this but its the regulatory bodies and the hospital administrators that should be ashamed of this because they make or facilitate these choices in the name of commerce.

Apart from the obvious sponsorship er bribing and grifting (hospital probably pays close to 0 for this) the last thing people care about is the food, they just want to get the fuck outta there. You shouldn't rely on the hospital good to make you healthy. Same for schools

Yes and No. Insurance companies cover what/who/when payment is made. Its the insurance companies who are in the driver's seat/hold the money. Hospitals/doctors provide a service. Hospitals/doctors don't have as much power as people think. The elephant in the room is the insurance company because they control money

"I’d be very much open to using U.S. forces to defend Taiwan, because it’s in our national security interest to do so". - Lindsey Graham, April 9, 2023. This is why they print the money. Its a business.

If Taiwan were to be literally destroyed tomorrow, it would advantage both American business and the American worker, because they are no longer making use of slave labor there anyhow, and Americans can replace them doing the work.
Globalization is a war against the middle and blue collar working class.

Yeah but the Chinese would be taking over the slave labor and it would continue under Chinese branding

Sure, provided our government allowed importation from them.
Our government is chiefly interested in creating conflict. They're doing it here with "transgendered ideology". They're fucking maniacs. They never allow us to rest and be left alone. Constantly they want to create some conflict, something for us to fucking worry about, something we need to fight. They do this everywhere.

It’s not a direct comparison but I felt Costco is a good price wise alternative.

What would you say? You don't have to actually believe what you say, it just has to be provoctive.
"Barefoot and pregnant is the way I like 'em."
"Good lord you are FAT!"
"I have a lawnmower. His name is Jose."
