Carvana for sure. They make it stupid simple.

When you can't grow your subscriber base in a meaningful way through offering increased value, this is where you end up. Increase prices(churn be damned) and roll on.

Remember, hormones are what drive eating behavior. Ghrelin and leptin, in particular.

This is the part most on TD don't understand. They all want it to be a moral failing of some sort.

Let's try a thought experiment:

Stop being horny. If you just stop being horny all the time you wouldn't have that porn addiction.

Real talk. None of that shite is hard to deal with. It's a 4wd truck. You have to deal with all of that shite on any 4wd truck. Is it an arguably shitter design? Maybe. I'm a GM guy but I've replaced probably 8-10 struts on GM vehicles and it's basically the same problems. The strut isn't going anywhere...it's trapped. As long as that upper/lower ball joints stay attached to the knuckle, none of that shite is going anywhere. The CV axles aren't going anywhere either. It's trapped between the knuckle and the transmission.

Much ado about nothing. Turn the wrench, be quick, make money. There's nothing new about any of the shite he's saying.

I don’t care

It’s not an addiction it’s literal lack of self control.

If it's just a lack of self control, why are people alcoholics? Are you saying you think alcohol is designed to be addictive? I don't like alcohol personally...but I drink socially where appropriate. Why do people smoke weed if they might lose their job? Why would people ever freebase heroin?

Your logic isn't logic'ing broseph.

That said, you missed the point of the post. Food is inherently addictive. So much so, in fact, that people are willing to kill other people for food when it's not available. We are driven biologically to eat and drink as a mode of survival....and that's the point. You can't escape food and if your body craves it, even if you don't require more calories to survive, then there must be something else going on. Hence the food addiction comment.

If they will not walk, you walk them.

Flawless victory.

You beat me to it.

"Nobody thinks Medicare is a bad program." Yeah, they do. The people who need to get paid for the medical services they rendered think it's a bad program.

And again I return to the triangle of price, quality, and availability.

Increasing Medicare might mean improving price and availability, but to the extent that it does that, it also means decreasing quality.

This is something we're going to have to talk through and it's going to be tough for both parties. It might mean that doctors don't make $300k+ a year anymore. The number of doctors in the US is artificially constrained to keep earning/market place value high. Honestly, I think that's why you're starting to see more and more PAs and NPs out in the real world.

Help me out guys. Why is it a bad thing the narced on JE?

or shitty food supply

Go speed a couple of weeks in the UK and you'll understand how terrible our food supply is. Everything is packed with sugar here.

Somebody that has already had a vasectomy needs to marry her up just for the keks.

I've found that going to the barber for a beard trim is more about shaping than trimming. My beard gets completely out of hand if I don't maintain and shape it at least once a week.
