You’re a braver man than I, and I trust you more than I have the will to verify what you’ve said.

What even is your position on this? Social spending enables more people to participate in the economy. Taking homelessness as an example again, we spend more on social programs keeping people homeless through general aid, and medical assistance than it would cost to house them. That alone would help with the deficit. Then the stability housing would provide allows more people to participate in the economy resulting in more tax revenue, less need for assistance, larger workforce etc… This experiment has already been proven in other countries. That kind of social benefit applies to other areas as well especially in healthcare and food assistance. Sometimes the right thing is also the best thing. You know, if goodness alone isn’t enough to sway you.
Once again you can support this and still want to fix the deficit and national debt crisis.

Definitely said the opposite of that. Social spending and fiscal responsibility. I was highlighting that social programs can be the tide that raises all boats. Once again you can be pro-social spending and anti national debt.

You can (and should) be worried about national debt while still supporting social programs. Hell, solving most social problems like homelessness would ultimately grow our economy and help relieve the debt.

Strongly disagree. Survival of the fittest based eugenics is not acceptable. Stupid people don’t deserve to suffer.

This is true, but we don’t need people putting glue on their pizza. These people used to have a person to ask now they’ll be asking Sam Altman

I’m on track to do the same right now. Was virtually sedentary until January of this year and now I’m doing 25 miles a week and get grumpy when I can’t run.

I’m 29 so still pretty young. I think if I had waited another decade I might have had to start slower. It sounds like you’ve been a lot more athletic than I have overall though so I would think you could get back into it.
If you want to get back into it I would say start with 100% zone 2 runs until you hit the mileage you want. This builds a strong aerobic base for your overall fitness and lowers your risk of injury while you build up the mileage. It’s going to be be very slow walk/running at first but it pays off at you get faster. Also think about a pair of flexible zero drop shoes like Altras or Barefoot/minimalist shoes. I use a cheap pair of whitins from amazon. This will strengthen your feet and ankles and give you a more natural gait further decreasing injury risk.
Turns out the big cushy shoes are terrible for you because they cause most people to run on their heels which puts all the impact into your joints.

Then you extrapolate that a the only way to stay kosher is to never prepare meat with dairy. No philly cheese steak, no butter.

Just started running this year and this last week I did 25 miles including 3 10ks. It feels impossible but if you just stick with it your body adapts so quickly
