I grew up there, storm shelters are common. Root cellars separate from the house are dual purpose, though canned goods and preserves in jars are more normal than boxes of tubers in the 20th century on.
Probably the best source for international health analysis.
Can be a bit dry. Brit. And a lot is going over, line by line, CDC & the Brit Health Care official releases, because that's less likely to get him censored or arrested.
Interesting data, on "excess deaths" which show trends, and is separate from the growing murder rate which is not health care related.
I'm tempted to write a paper charting the change in government threat levels over time just from this channel alone. But I want to visit the UK for the museums before the conquest/collapse, and don't want to be on the sh%t list there, yet.
Seriously this teaching Doctor and J.K.Rowling do give me hope. National Treasures.
I'm MOSTLY annoyed because the massive popularity of this diabetes drug has jacked the price through the roof, and led to shortages and rationing, for us not rich peons who actually have a medical reason to take it.
That's not a concern for the Hollywood Kens & Barbies.
And I'm not sure how much blame to throw at the drug that makes weight loss easier for the rich and famous, for the starvation look.
True, it would take lots more will power to fast so much that they get the same results without the drug cheat.
And I'm not philosophically opposed to using drugs and supplements to sculpt your body the way you want.
( the waiting line at my pharmacy is now in the Whey Protein Isolate section. I'm fine with that. The line used to be in the can't poop & wanna stop pooping isle. I'm not joking. I prefer to read the labels out of boredom now. Plus the pictures on the boxes are hot chicks and studly guys instead of constipated middle aged people. )
Steroids, diabetes glucose drugs, human growth hormone, creatine, whatever, stuff that works... Has side effects. They're hacking their metabolism.
Unfortunately I don't use Chinese Tok thing, not twats, so I can't give him the good news.
He's right! There are far too many people on the planet for medieval technology to support! Big population explosion when Western Civilization and Capitalism created medicines that let billions live that would have naturally died, just a century ago.
Pollution, and the toxic mental illness that is the Marxist cults, is a tremendous threat to freedom and life.
Fortunately, the climate isn't a problem. He's been lied to. He can relax, turn off that fear circuit, and flip his passion to causes he can actually do great good for billions of people.
I'll suggest a few to pick from.
Islamist Conquest, that's a tough one, but certainly your passion and clarity can solve it. Speak out!
The D Party Crime Families, Clintons, Bidens*, Pritzer, you know, all we need is you to demand their ill gotten gains be confiscated, and used to pay the debt, so you don't have to.
Congress overspending. I bet a few good talkings to, and we can go back to the same budgets of yesteryear. You can't go back too far, or too fast, since, say, Taft's era budget has no money for the Air Force disaster relief program, or research money to cure AIDS. Bush the Younger? Poor choice, he never vetoed a spending bill. I don't think he knew he could. How about Clinton's last one? It wasn't actually balanced, that's a lie by, among others, the Republicans in Congress, but it's pretty good and we actually can afford it now that Bidenomics* has kicked in like a Party Mule!
Or, you could push for a solid law that makes sure your hypothetical adopted daughter never has to listen to anti abortionists in grade school? A bill that protects children from sexual propaganda like that before High School, where only you ( the family ) will influence them. Tough sell. But Culture Leads! So you should teach everyone that adults shouldn't discuss sexual subjects to children not their own children. ( keep those busybody Deplorables away! ) Push that any adult who so acts, is obviously a pedophile rapist wannabe, or Worse! That'll use their rhetoric against them! You'd be awesome at that!
Not arguing, since, yes, we are in a roughly million year long Ice Age cycle. ( before that, it was pleasantly warm almost all the time, between meteor strikes and volcano mass events. )
But...
Today we are nearing the end of the interglacial period where it's warm, and "about to" plunge into the civilization erasing cold period.
Previous cycles take a lot of years to go from warm to cold, which where I live now, means from "worry about paying the ever rising cost to keep my house from freezing" to "it won't stop showing and 6 billion starved to death" ( a short time in human scale ) to "where I lived is under a mile of ice" ( on the human scale of "heard a rumor some guy was crucified by the Romans for insurrection, but it was all some Palestinian blasphemy thing, really" to " I bought my girlfriend some carved ivory handled brushes, from a merchant that claims it's from a land across the sea and the Norsemen colony there. " aka a thousand years.
We've got a really odd concept of progress and time scales here in the U.S. with just over 500 years of continuous invasion/immigration to North America, and less than half that as a radical freedom Republic. ( the 1000 years ago Viking colony failed after cheap African Ivory became cheaper, and that nasty Climate Change! )
And our entire European colonization took place in a scientific revolution. Rate of change unheard of in history.
Consider, from the Roman execution of a Jewish revolutionary, to Vikings colonizing Vinland, the tech level was steel swords and regional differences in how you arrange and fasten wood planks in a boat hull.
While roughly the same duration time gap is from wooden oar driven combat sailing ships, where ramming and boarding, plus archery, was State of The Art, to... Face Hardened Steel armor on steam driven ships using explosive shell cannons.
And then in One Lifetime, from "Some American flew a flying machine in Paris, and it could turn laps around the race course!" to " Aerial bombardment started a firestorm that killed hundreds of thousands. "...
While I often mock economists, that's because the most famous loudmouth Prize Winning one is of a "school" aka religious sect that is mostly wrong and delusional. Also economics is splintered into "schools", aka religious sects, that follow various Prophets, even if they are wrong and delusional.
But there are, or have been in the past, thinkers on the subject that had valuable insights. That actually apply in the world.
