  1. Good. Luxemburg was enjoying money they didn't deserve, including taxes from profit created in other countries. Taxes that were siphoned from those countries to Luxemburg. Switzerland is similar, a money laundering machine. I hope this will soon end and the riches get distributed where they belong.

  2. The antidepressants I use, i.e. walking and other exercise, stretching also, are very effective mood enhancers. Improved nutrition also helps. The brain needs all the nutrients to function effectively. Where did this depression pandemic come from? A poor lifestyle of the modern convenient age, less sunshine, poor sleep and poor diet. No wonder people's bodies don't work to their optimum. What are the happiest countries in the world? Not the richest, quite the opposite.

  3. The only way to stop this would be if the demand stopped. Will we ever achieve that point?

  4. How nice. Not a word about tofu dregs, ghost cities, sewer oil in the food sold on the streets and restaurants... did you have tour guides? They know what to show you and what not to show you. All is planned and pretty, positive. Go to the outskirts to see what real China is like, or into the factories with child labour. One city centre is not the whole China. Not visiting any hacker centre? We in the West are constantly targetted, intellectual property stolen and copied on the cheap. All our data pouring directly to the CCP's HQ. I am sure there is plenty of good in China, but not all is good only. We haven't seen it all. They wouldn't let you anywhere near the less pretty face of China.

  5. It's a jungle out there. A few gain while many loose. It is always a risk to try making big money out of a thin air, in the unregulated waters. Meme coins are another modern scam. Everyone getting into it must expect to be a loser, unless it is their own scam. There a 13 yo scammed some 'investors' 3x times in a row. Fools hoped to make their money back. Trump and Melania coins gave it a crown.

  6. YT makes money from them, so why doing anything? YT will rather ban a video informing about those scams. Google and scam ads at the top search results: the same story. Follow the money.

  7. "Addicted? I don't think so, not at least to Nestle products".... LMAO! Nestle being probably the largest giant on the food industry scene, but no, their product aren't addictive... Saying all that, there are people with dysfunctional dopaminergic reward system in their brain, partly genetic, and they can become addicted to literally anything, even flour. Carbs especially make their brain ticking (like that sugar to the rat ignoring cocaine). It is a complex issue and people affected need to get treatment, counselling, maybe hypnotherapy and coping strategies. There are people with switched off satiety response and they also struggle all their life, constantly feeling hungry. Industry is as responsible as it can get, but people need education to resist this vicious cycle. They need to learn eating better and enjoy healthier food, and then they will find this junk disgusting at worst, or unsatisfying at least.

  8. Re Rogelio: live fast, die young. He is still overweight and Mexicans and other cultures from that region are at a higher risk with a lower body weight than an average white man. When diabetes catches up with him, the income will fall down. I am sure his family won't appreciate it, plus the medical bills. It is far cheaper overall to stay healthy and it feels better for longer. Many people don't understand that. My mother, not having any nutrition education whatoever, was giving me pieces of raw vegetables she was putting into a stew when she was cooking. She emphasized vitamins. And I ate it. I don't think I have ever tasted Twinkies, but I can imagine what they are like, from eating something else in the past. I will swap Twinkies for a raw carrot any time. Even broccoli has a sweet taste to me and no meal usually goes without some vegetable in or with it, mostly cooked at home. You still can have that bliss point with healthier alternatives. You don't need to be a slave to the processed food industry.

  9.  @Kunfucious577  yep, but you aren't allowed to talk about that. Tofu dregs with 'concrete' you can chip from with your finger nails. Fake drainage panels with solid ground underneath next to newbuilds... when it rains they are all flooded on the ground floors.

  10. Finally the companies understand that if they kill their customers young, they will have less customers.

  11. Just thinking: what would happen in nature without human intervention, like removing the infested tree material? If given enough time a beetle predator would come and restore the balance.
