Lot of truth to your statement. Just look at the push back RFK Jr. is getting for wanting to do away with toxic food additives that are banned almost everywhere else on Earth.

ADHD, ADD, autism, little girls having periods at 11 years old, and even the massive explosion of transgerderism was almost non-existent when I was a kid. Now, all those things are common place. Wonder why that is? My theory is, it's our food.

I might be wrong, but Coca-Cola switching back to cane sugar over high fructose corn syrup, could be a catalyst to a much healthier country. If there is one thing that should be banned and outlawed over all other substances, it's high fructose corn syrup!

Nah, that country is ripe to overturn. Just take the head of the snake. The people will do the rest.

:rotflmao: You just gave away your ignorance on this subject. mRNA vaccines have NEVER been approved. Not now, not one ever. The ones that all the fools took, were emergency status with the stipulation that the producers cannot be held accountable for extremely detrimental side affects, likes myocarditis.

Oxycontin? :lol: Again your logic is flawed. I guess if someone abuses a substances that is beneficial for a whole lot of people, we should just ban it? Well, there goes Adderall and Ritalin!

I work in healthcare and know a whole lot of doctors. Are there some shitty ones? Yep, just like there are shitty plumbers, house contractors, and truck drivers. In my experience, most truly follow the Hippocratic Oath. I personally don't know one doctor who would prescribe a drug that they thought the risk outweighed the positive outcome.

You don’t know that it will do this

:rotflmao: Extra 100lbs and that doesn't eventually affect your knees, ankles, and hips? High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes? Do you have any idea how much time people with those health problems spend at doctor appointments? Don't even get me started on the cost of the surgeries!

If someone lost a ton of weight it was probably better for their health outcomes.

This is what is lost on most. Morbidly obese have multiple healthcare issues. shite ton of money and time is spent on keeping them alive and providing some semblance of quality of life. If a damn shot will get them to eat less, drop a ton of weight, and keep them out of the doctor's office, that benefit us all. I could not care less if some middle-aged woman takes it to lose 10 pounds and has complications.

this happened to me but it was dental. My wife had to have some dental work done , I had renewed my insurance at the open enrollment. My wife calls me and tells me that she’s not insured. I go to HR lady, she says “ Well you didn’t list her”. I had her pull the files. Turns out I did list her. HR lady says “ oops we all make mistakes “. I was livid I go to upper management, nothing could be done My direct supervisor got involved helping me and then we got a call from management department head , if we didn’t drop it we would both be terminated. I had to come out of pocket 2k

---

I would have updated my resume at that point, and started looking for another job!

Or, contact a good employment lawyer ESPECIALLY if the dental insurance was being deducted from your pay. Getting fired may have resulted in a very big windfall for you!

Imagine you are the company custodian, and this hits your lap.

Isuzu with the little diesel engine.

Went to my GF's family Christmas. Her dumbass sister wanted to get more sauced up, but didn't want the kids to see her hitting on all the other dudes in the house, so she attempted to get her kids to bed early with the old line about Santa not coming until they go to sleep. Better judgement, and the thought of her fatass trying to rub up on my junk got the better of me, so I stood up, stretched, and announced that Santa wasn't real. 3 y/o teared up a little, drunk mom slurred some insult, and effeminate dad got a little riled up. Didn't look really mad, clearly putting on a show for the fam audience. Pretty sure he is one of those guys, living the lie, and too afraid to come out of the closet. He had the weird combination of trying to look offended and sexually aroused at the same time.

Ended up walking out to the car with GF in tow, and loudly inviting the party to join me at Waffle House for some strong coffee, scatter covered and smothered, and some recreation in the parking lot. All in all, pretty good Christmas in Louisiana!
