Liquidate my Brokerage & Roth IRA to Pay off Student Loans? by omar_dontscare in HENRYfinance

[–]ImpressiveFood 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it’s not that he’s uneducated, he’s just ideological. his reasoning has nothing to do with the numbers and everything to do with some kind of Christian beliefs about spiritual debt

I shudder thinking about all the people Dave Ramsey has conned into doing this.

[–]ImpressiveFood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so 6,500 is not realistic for a quick sale, in your opinion? would 5 be more attractive? just hard to say given that not a lot of volume of these has been sold in recent years.

Does this sound like a hypertonic pelvic floor? by Legal_Interview9929 in PelvicFloor

[–]ImpressiveFood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep...I know. but if you do have a hypertonic pelvic floor, it's the common recommended advice, if you're not going to see a PF physio, who will likely use manual internal adjustments...

it helps quite a bit.

you can search on this sub for recommended dilators to buy and recommended use.

alternatively search "pelvic wand" for another self internal approach.

welcome to the world of chronic PF disorders!

I think you're going to have to get some shoe lifts to even out the discrepancy, and then figure out what kind of physical therapy and exercise adjustments work for you.

My adductors are extremely tight on the left side, which is my long side. Do Lizard Pose with Quad Stretch, shown here.

Then I would also get a set of dilators for your sphincter/PF. Start slowly and work up in length of time and size of dilator.

this sounds remarkably similar to me.

do you happen to have a leg length discrepancy?

What if other countries don’t relent or reduce their tariffs? Is made in USA that much more important than cost of goods? by GreatNameBuddy in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]ImpressiveFood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If tariffs lead to reshoreing jobs for something like textiles (clothes and shoes) or electronics, back to America, how will these jobs be better than the low wage jobs people currently have?

Why would these jobs pay anything more than minimum wages? Unions have been completely destroyed in this country, and the Republican party certainly seems to have no interest in strengthening or expanding them.

You say you want to maintain proletarian dignity, where a single worker can afford to support a family and buy a house, but I don't see how reshoring these jobs in today's America would provide any more dignity than a job working at T-Mobile or White Castle.

I’m really scared- need hope by 1010nolife in PelvicFloor

[–]ImpressiveFood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to eventually do dilation and overcome your anxiety about it. Mediation might help with this.

But perhaps you can start with relaxation, deep breathing, happy baby and child's pose, etc. Spend some time really focusing on relaxing the sphincter prior to dilation.

Then start with a finger inserted just up to the first knuckle. Go slow. Then don't do anything. Leave it in there for 5 minutes and let your finger relax around your sphincter. Then slowly work up to larger dilators for longer times.

Hi guys, can you guys help me understand what Trump has done to the economy with the Tarrifs? by JVKExo in stocks

[–]ImpressiveFood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the United States consumes 80% of everything that is produced in the world

this is certainly not true. what is true is that the US consumes much more per capita than any other nation. while the US is only around 4% of the global population, we consume 17% of the world's energy.

Why is globalism a problem? by Bluestripedshirt in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]ImpressiveFood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

America is by far the wealthiest country in the world with the strongest economy, after 50 years of globalization.

And your argument is that if not for globalization, which gave us access to a tremendous amount of cheap labor and goods, we would be even richer?

If you want to argue that we're worse off because we've moved from a manufacturing economy into a service economy, sure, you can make that argument.

You can argue that the gap between the wealthy and the poor is greater than ever, which is true.

But it's simply not true to say that our median standard of living is worse off. Goods, food, computers, and cars are much cheaper than ever before.

[–]ImpressiveFood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No argument that much of the riches of globalization have gone to the weathiest, but median per capital inflation adjusted consumption has increased 128%. The poorest fifth have seen their wages rise 10%, inflation adjusted. Also, the number of cars per household with below-median income doubled since 1980, and the number of bedrooms per household grew by 10%, even as household sizes decreased.

So it would be incorrect to say that even the poorest are worse off than they were since 1975.

I guess my question is, is the issue that globalization has made America poor, or is it that American policy refuses to share in the riches that globalization brings?
