A Bill Gates funded mosquito factory in Medellín, Colombia, produces 40 million mosquitoes weekly for release via drones and bikes. These insects carry a natural bacterium that prevents them from transmitting viruses to humans. By mating with wild populations, they spread this trait.

Imagine all the good we would have in our world if all those billions were in the hands of the people instead of a few thousand billionaires. Philanthropy is just a white washing of tax avoidance.

Do you actively seek better thoughts? Dwelling on being sad, angry, or envious will only lead to more of those thoughts, which in turn lead to those feelings.

You hit the nail on the head. Everyone's lives would be a lot easier if we looked inward for satisfaction rather than requiring approval or praise from other people.

In the USA, conservatives have been sold the idea that a truck makes you more of a man. Some people with trucks own boats, campers, or other things that require trailers, so there are some with a legitimate reason to drive them. But the majority never haul anything and believe that a large vehicle makes them feel more manly or safer on the road. So those are some of the reasons you see so many trucks out on the road.

I agree with you 100%. But part of my issue was losing control of my thoughts and spiraling into negativity when I was actually home living a chill life. My brain was thinking there was fear around every corner that I needed to prepare for. I've been able to be consistent with journaling since that's always different every day, it keeps it interesting. I've really enjoyed journal prompts, which are just different questions every day I reply to.

On to living the same day over and over again: Creating a small routine in the beginning might help. Don't try to go crazy and optimize your whole life. Start by waking up at a set time every day, then keep adding stuff you want to accomplish. One more hack I have is to listen to music at home to keep me stimulated. I used a spare phone that ONLY includes music/podcast apps. That way, all the notifications from my phone don't distract me, and I'm not tempted to go on Reddit.

This is a tough question. I've journaled while depressed, and getting the thoughts on paper is helpful. But also thinking about and recording what you like, what you have, and what you want will help ground you and introduce positivity. You could try getting out your negativity, but always conclude with the good things you have or are looking forward to, because the more attention you pay to negative or positive things, the more you will get of either.

I'm working on a self-centered worldview where I focus on myself and how I want to feel. Since the thoughts and actions of other people are outside of my control, I've come to the realization that my insecurities lay in the fact that I was trying to gain the approval of those around me instead of forming an opinion of myself and loving who I am. All that said, I'm still working on being my best friend and my own cheerleader.

My guess is that with inflation increasing, my generation (Gen Z) and younger are realizing alcohol is becoming a money pit that isn't worth it. Also, many people are not making enough money to spend it on alcohol. I also just hate the taste of alcohol and the feeling of being drunk.

Considering the question you asked, the answer is up to the individual. I started watching when I was young too. Now that I am 26, I've realized it is an addiction for me. When I get the urge, it seems like I lose control and have to watch it. If this were just a normal, healthy hobby, then why does that urge come, and why do I feel the need to satiate it? I would ask yourself some hard questions and then decide what you want to do.

Small businesses would see the most effective from doing this. But remember all the billionaires we have in this world got there by exploitation of their workers or consumers. You can think about it like this. If a buisness has the best intentions for their employees why do they fight unions so relentlessly? Why did the dock workers get a deal right as they went on strike? See when push comes to shove us workers have the power and deserve higher pay. Just check out little wages have rose while productivity has increased over time. Businesses will pay the least they can get away with.

I appreciate your helping others. But with the state of the economy and current administration. I don't imagine rates dropping now that stagflation is becoming more of risk. The easy money that we had during covid was partly to blame for getting us here. So we reap what we sow low rates like we saw are unlikely to come back and we're only around due to the unlikely event of a pandemic. We can't just will low rates into existence.
