    first thats a dollar value. Costs of goods go up, so im pretty sure that graph is skewed. Plus it does not show other countries as a comparison.

    That is adjusted to account for inflation, so no. It's showing numbers based on the year 2000.

    It says right on it that it is in 2000 dollars. That means they adjusted for inflation.

    Whats our output compared to other countries?

    i admit my memory is dated. I haven't dug ditches in 20 years, so maybe things have changed. But when i worked physical labor it was the theme to do as little as possible and collect the check. It was openly talked about amongst coworkers. In more than one state.

    Poor communities are often food deserts with no supermarket, let alone farmers' market. Just fast food and liquor stores that sell a few unhealthy food items. They also lack parks or even sidewalks. Schools don't teach nutrition. Millions in subsidies make soda and junk food cheap. It's not enough to lecture people about their bad behavior, it's structural.

    Man, that is awful. Have you thought about setting up a Go Fund Me page for them?

    Mandating consumption of a product is an even better way to get clients and grow your business! It science!

    These are all good good points. I’m not sure the establishment who designed these circumstances is the one I want to take orders from when it comes to health. Given those points you brought up, is it surprising how low the vaccination rate is for people of color? Can’t really blame them, or anyone else who’s been boned by Uncle Sam in their tenure on this planet.
