·About 60% of the calories in eggs are from fat—much of which is saturated fat. Eggs are also loaded with cholesterol—about 200 milligrams for an average-sized egg. That’s more than double the amount in a Big Mac. Fat and cholesterol both contribute to heart disease.
Everyone should remove eggs from their diet. You're welcome.
" Eggs are a complete source of protein. They are rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, E and B12, selenium, choline and iron.
Foods high in saturated fat and trans-fat have the greatest impact on your cholesterol levels. Eggs have a neutral impact on heart health which means that they neither increase nor decrease the risk of heart disease in most people.
How many eggs should you eat per week?
Eggs can be included as part of a heart-healthy eating pattern. The Heart Foundation does not set a limit on the number of eggs you should eat a week." Source: Heart Foundation.

·Thanks for the message, genuinely.
There was zero intention of misogyny or racism, I was merely pointing out the foolish marketing expenditures and policy. These were facts. I hope that clears things up.
EDIT: I try to think for myself, I make my own opinions. I am not repeating anything here. I supported Biden, I support Trump. I want the best for my country.
BS.

·It is a form of it, yes.
Ordered populism rests on the belief in a corrupt elite, and the idea that power needs to be wrested from this elite and returned to the people. Oriented toward authoritarianism, ordered populism emphasizes obedience, hostility toward outgroups, a desire to turn back the clock to a time of greater order in society, and a search for a strongman type to lead the return to a better time.
Nothing about ordered populism serves the public interest. Instead, its anti-democratic nature makes it incapable of solving the problems that spawned its rise in the first place. Ordered populism is xenophobic, mistrustful of science and journalism, and unsympathetic to equality and gender issues. Arising out of fear and anger, ordered populism is ultimately unhealthy for Western democracies and their societies and economies.
Strongman ? Past : Adolf . Stalin .
Present: Putin. And many Mini Strongmen like Kim Il and others .... Weak Strongman : The foreign Asset in the Snowy House.

Eggs kill you, oh no now they are good for you.
Butter kills you, move to margarine (chemical crap) now butter is good.
Fat kills you, now it is trans fats.
Cholesterol is a life essential, just make sure it is the right type.
Processed white sugar is the real killer. Guess what a BM & coke have in plenty??

Gov Whitmer was just at that Snowy White House, praising the tariffs. Televised too, so the geriatric limousine liberals (msm only viewers lol) could watch. Imagine, one of the more progressive Dems doing such a thing.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerGov Whitmer was just at that Snowy White House, praising the tariffs. Televised too, so the geriatric limousine liberals (msm only viewers lol) could watch. Imagine, one of the more progressive Dems doing such a thing.
"And though Whitmer criticized Trump’s sweeping, rollercoaster rollout of - and subsequent retreat from - tariffs, she said she was not against tariffs “outright” and expressed understanding of Trump’s “motivation” behind deploying them."
“Let’s give more hard-working people a fair shot at a decent life,” she said. “And let’s usher in, as President Trump says, a ‘Golden Age’ of American manufacturing.”
She did break with Trump on the more substantial tariffs he announced last week and partially paused later Wednesday afternoon, describing them as a “triple whammy: higher costs, fewer jobs and more uncertainty.”
“I understand the motivation behind the tariffs, and I can tell you, here’s where President Trump and I do agree,” she said. “We do need to make more stuff in America - more cars and chips, more steel and ships. We do need fair trade.”

·I think most people do have a lot in common, but that doesn't mean that "small" differences can't cause massive issues in communication. Regardless of what you have in common, how do you communicate with someone that makes statements that they refuse to back up with reasonable data, and meanwhile rejects any data that they don't agree with? When they choose to reject definitions and supplement their own definitions to back their positions? That's a tough one. An acceptable standard of intellectual honesty should be a cornerstone of society, not something that only a portion of people practice. It's only one minor difference, and yet drops a wall between groups of people trying to communicate or share ideas.
To Archer's point about ordered populism- which is essentially socially organized behind "new world order" type conspiracy theories that perhaps were the foundation for things like QAnon and infowars- would we even be here today if the United States (and to some degree, the entire world) had a standard for how much intellectual dishonesty was too much?
Our team is great, you're team sucks.
Eyes closed, ears covered, mouth open.
Open mind? Critical thinking? Applying reason? Nope. Nope. Nope.

I was just about to share this. I thought Lutnick was just on TV saying Ameeicans would be "putting in the tiny screws."
So- if we aren't going to tariff these things and those jobs won't be coming back to America, I guess the plan would be to create a bunch of American farm and hospitality jobs once the illegal immigrants that have those jobs are deported?
....apparently not.
So where exactly, are the jobs being created?
