Spending a couple thousand on LASIK was the best investment I’ve ever made. The money I’ve saved on prescription glasses alone has already paid for lot of it, and ten years later my distance vision is still nearly perfect. Now only if there was a similar procedure for my neck and posture..


Freezing to death is so unspeakably painful so that you will do anything to avoid that, in the olden days homeless people would sleep in hidden maintenance spaces or near heat exhaust vents in the most extreme cases. Dying of cold is so rare that it does not even warrant it's own category in causes of death statistics here but you could argue some of the drug/alcohol deaths might cover that.

Unfortunately not, it's cold but you can endure it, and it'll make you apathetic, and then it's over.


Straight up dying from cold in one go isn't worst possible way to go.

Issue is when you switch between dying and not dying. Like frostbites and so on.

Can we go back to FEMA death camps? This is just tiresome at this point.


Tiresome? You don't think the WEF goal of "I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better"[0] needs more awareness?

You mean flying like it did between 1940 and 1970?


Correlation isn't causation. That time was when only the US was able to make things, as most other first world places were devastated, and also the US got to call in its incredible loans from WW2.


But tax revenue and government spending is even bigger than that period. So why isn't growth even higher?


Why?


Yes, more deregulation and less democracy. It has worked so well so far.
