The New Socialists

Yeah. Abolition failed after the simple factual examination that Negroes couldn’t control themselves. Medicare failed after the simple factual examination that Americans hate socialized medicine.
 
Well that’s not completely true for one. Second, people shouldn’t be discriminated against based on such a “lifestyle choice” that doesn’t harm anyone else.

As a fat person I can acknowledge that the sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits that lead to obesity do burden society with greater healthcare costs. What also has to be acknowledged though, is how poverty, food capitalism, and sedentary employment trends encourage and exacerbate obesity.

Ill defend some fatties in saying that 75-80 percent of energy expenditure is basal metabolic rate, which in itself is like 90% genetics. So once you become fat it’s really really hard to no longer be fat.

After living for 2 years abroad I can attest to the fact that our people are fat due to poor eating habits, copious portions,and general apathy toward physical movement of most kind.

People should not be discriminated on for being overweight for sure, but it also should not be celebrated.
 
So we shouldn’t celebrate when employers don’t discriminate on size?
 
Because it’s an arbitrary way to mismanage human capital and harm other people.

And again, much of size is genetic anyway.

Do you think we should discriminate by size? If so, why?

Because when you're two standard deviations above typical size you're preventing efficient operation of the planet.

And below is a link to the talking points of the Green New Deal posted by NPR:

Obviously this was all an evil plot carried out by the conservatives at NPR to release the info about farting cows and banning airline travel.

but honest, they were just little teeny cutesy lies (and for a good cause), so i's OK for the WaPo to go easy on them
 
Thoughts?

democratic socialism: an oxymoron and a dystopian fantasy, when countries become democratic they get rid of socialism

No,but we should not support getting larger whatwith AOC’s Fartometer on the horizon.

No it’s not genetic It comes from Sugar,intake and apathy.Americans are no different than the French.The French don’t have “600 pound programming”.Americans eat 1000 more calories a day,per capita,than any other industrialized nation but these calories come not just from gluttonous behavior but from crummy food sources.This is a Decadent Age.

Perhaps you should read about capitalism’s role in this.

Here’s a story about dollar stores saturating low income neighborhoods so grocery stores can’t succeed.
