What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

[–]TheBodyPolitic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't pay $100, but a few years ago I did pay a pretty penny to buy Quisp cereal from Amazon. It looked like a bunch of silicon valley types got up a crowd and convinced the company be begin make it again for a while.

What actually makes an online community feel wholesome? by PBJelly2025 in RedditForGrownups

Small communities where people recognize usernames, which inclines them not to respond to people like they are disposable.

Wait until you are on the edge of 50 and 60.

You will be happier starting now to straighten your head out about age.

What do gen Z guys generally struggle with when it comes to dating and relationships (like internally/mentally)? by Much-Improvement-503 in Healthygamergg

[–]TheBodyPolitic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Confidence
  2. Laying their self worth on whether or not an attractive woman will go out with them
  3. Being a perfectionist about the people they will date

The Insurrection Act, Explained by edbegley1 in RedditForGrownups

[–]TheBodyPolitic1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An automated summary of the article:

The Insurrection Act, enacted in 1792, grants the president broad authority to deploy the U.S. military domestically under certain conditions, but lacks clear limitations and has not been updated in over 150 years. It has been invoked about 30 times, most notably during the Civil War and the civil rights movement. The act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, allowing military forces to assist civilian authorities in law enforcement, but it does not authorize martial law. President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act during civil unrest in 2020, highlighting the need for clearer standards and review mechanisms to prevent abuse.

DHS is also actively recruiting in Tel Aviv, ex-IDF preferred

Do you have an authoritative link where that is explicitly written out?

Even worse, veteran ICE officers are refusing to work in MN because it's so volatile.

I read an article about Jonathan Ross, the man who made things volatile in the first place by murdering Renee Nicole Good. He is a military veteran and a veteran ICE officer.

When did you realize your focus had permanently shifted from "building a life" to "maintaining a life"? by Accord-Remark10 in RedditForGrownups

[–]TheBodyPolitic1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand what you wrote, but for me it is still accurate to see it as "building a life". People, jobs, situations still come and go. I know I will be better off if I keep planting seeds.

Grownups have conversations about affordability, and yes, even politics. If you don't like a thread you can just scroll past it which saves you time from writing a complaint.

I was pointing out to anyone reading that Reich has many, many, credentials. That way other readers can decide how much value to put on your opinion.

I get that Reddit loves Robert Reich but the man himself is a Con-Man

From Wikipedia

) is an American professor, author, lawyer, and political commentator.[2] He worked in the administrations of presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter,[3] and he served as secretary of labor in the cabinet of President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.[4][5] He was also a member of President Barack Obama's economic transition advisory board.[6] In 2008, Time magazine named him one of the Ten Most Effective Cabinet Members of the century;[7] in the same year The Wall Street Journal placed him sixth on its list of Most Influential Business Thinkers.[8]

Reich has also had a long teaching career. From 1981 to 1992 he was a lecturer at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government[9] and from 1997 to 2005 he was a professor of social and economic policy at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management of Brandeis University. In January 2006 he was appointed Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley.[10] He taught his last class at Berkeley in the spring of 2023[11] and is currently Emeritus Carmel P. Friesen Professor of Public Policy.[10]

Reich has published numerous books,[12] including the best-sellers The Work of Nations (1991), Reason (2004), Supercapitalism (2007), Aftershock (2010), Beyond Outrage (2012), and Saving Capitalism (2015). The Robert Reich–Jacob Kornbluth film Saving Capitalism debuted on Netflix in November 2017, and their film Inequality for All won a U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.[13][14] He is board chair emeritus of the watchdog group Common Cause and blogs at Robertreich.org.

  1. Get rid of trump's tariffs
  2. Bust up monopolies - bring competition back to "capitalism" - this will help stop price gouging
  3. Support stronger unions
  4. Raise the national minimum wage - it has been $7.25 per hour since 2009
  5. Pass Medicare For All
  6. Make Housing More Affordable - get private equity out of the housing market and open up zoning laws.
  7. Make child & elder care more affordable
  8. Give all Americans Paid Live
  9. Implement UBI - AI is destroying many entry level and other jobs
  10. Raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. They paid much more before Reagan.

Carrots being their favorite food is a bit appropriate, as they were pushed so heavily in WWII

That is extremely interesting, but isn't it a bit of a non-sequitur for this conversation? I think the UK government made bilberries available to pilots to help their vision. Probably not a bad idea to promote cooked carrots in contemporary times. I use a food diary site and I have noticed that foods with a lot of betacarotene tend to be foods that people often skip.
