I don't think healthy food is necessarily more expensive, at least not if you know what you're doing. My personal experience is actually the opposite.
The problem, as you mentioned is the time, and the emotional and physical labor of figuring out something the whole family will want to eat and cooking it. Those things are all expenditures in their own ways, but not financial.
I think the real reason that Koch foundation, etc al, funded her campaign until last week was still that they'd have somebody qualified in case it's rolled that Trump is ineligible.
I'm the flip side, Go back and watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Once you're done cringing at the racism, think about the fact that Harrison Ford went on an intense weightlifting program for that movie, and was considered the most shredded leading man in Hollywood at the time. Actors using steroids has become so common that it has also skewed our perception of a normal fit guy's body.
Facism and race "science" has always been the backbone of American conservatism. We are just in a period of time where they are more open about it. And honestly, they might not even be any more open about it, it's just that social media makes it easier to see; legacy media has always been hesitant to call out the right's racism, when when it overt.
The modern Republican party was literally founded on anti-black racism. We've all heard of the Southern Strategy by now, but it was in 1957 that the RNC started "Operation Dixie" which was aimed at recruiting white southern voters (Dixiecrats) away from the Democrats.
By 1970, you have Nixon's GOP strategist saying this,
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10-20% of the negro vote... the more negroes that register as Democrats... The more the negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes lie.
I mean, that was the recommendation at the time. Chickenpox can be deadly to adults, and it was considered best to expose children to it when it wasn't life-threatening. This was well before there was a vaccine available, and letting your kid get the virus was basically like giving them an inoculation.
What's bullshit is that you can't get the shingles vaccine if you're under 55 (in the US.)
Lol. It doesn't do video generation. It just takes existing video and makes it look weird. Image generation is about the same: they just take existing works and smash them together, often in an incoherent way. Half the text generation shit is just fine by underpaid people in Kenya Ave and similar places.
There are a few areas where llm could be useful, things like trawling large data sets, etc, but every bit of the stuff that is being hyped as "AI" is just spam generators.
Reddit has been a private company for its entire existence. There really isn't a point in it making a profit, as long as the people running it are paying themselves.
Worth noting sometimes companies often restrict expenses with crazy requirements. Sometimes they have no choice because they are prohibited from paying for something like food in advance.
Having worked private dining gigs for many years, it is often the executive assistant who makes arrangements ahead of time. They work with what they think is the budget, but oftentimes when the actual executive shows up the day of, they want to make changes to what was planned. Since we always have a contract, they can't go any cheaper than what was agreed (like, can't cancel the open bar, etc) but they sometimes will decide to order more expensive wine, appetizers, etc.
I could see this being a case of an assistant of some sort making the deal over the phone, then getting shot down when their boss sees the price.
Not trying to make any excuses for Tesla here, just sharing my experience in a related field.
If they worked there at the same time, they definitely would have known each other; any bouncer/security would know any detail cops that regularly moonlighted there, because they're doing the same job, and need to know who each other are. It's like thinking that the person who busses tables wouldn't know the waiters.
Even if Chauvin hadn't worked there regularly, they would have known each other enough to say hello.
But about half of those posts are wrong, or misinformation.
Seriously, go into any somewhat popular Reddit thread on a subject you are familiar with. There will be multiple highly upvoted parent comments going into great detail on the subject, and they will be completely wrong about all of it.
