No shit didn't know that about cigarettes not a smoker myself very interesting. Yeah the GMO thing is a misconception, it's still obviously much better for your health to eat mostly whole foods and produce. The real conspiracy is processed food.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/current/ Data set here, I think you nailed it with inflation being the reason. Seeing the same thing in business, I'm a controller for a produce company. Basic economic concept "time value of money" says you should use credit where possible and doubly so in an inflationary cycle.
Who is "they". Also GMOs I work in agriculture so it's always funny to me when people bloviate about dangerous "GMOs" while not realizing literally every commercial produce product has been genetically modified through selection to produce high yield and higher brix content over 1000s of years. Organics included of course, if it was dangerous we would all be dead already.
It's true he issued an executive order, but it was only for seniors on certain Medicare plans a very narrow focus considering how many diabetics this wouldn't apply to. Executive orders are not an effective way to govern because they can so easily be over turned. The Trump presidency was essentially shredded with a new administration save the tax cuts. You need to actually pass legislation through congress to be effective in the long term. Exactly what is being suggested by this administration, just my two cents. Now watch every Republican in the house vote no lol.
I reccomend reading through this in full detail https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html In particular the deaths section which counts deaths from Dec 2020 which is when Canada started their vaccination program. Figure 5 in particular shows cases, hospitalizations and deaths by vaccination status. What are your thoughts?
Yeah I hear what you are trying to say it's just wrong. Assets never become a liability that's not how accounting works. An asset can have a liability tied to it via debt but once that is paid off you just have the asset and accumulated depreciation. Think also of the enormous amount of tangible physical infrastructure required to maintain these platforms all that stuff has very real value even if Netflix closed their business today. Netflix has an enormous balance sheet with very real and tangible assets that justify their equity position. Take a peek at their balance sheet https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NFLX/balance-sheet/ If you look at the details under current assets they have $40 billion in assets, $27 billion of which are intangible assets i.e goodwill + the value of their platform As to the lifespan of intangibles GAAP guidance is 3-5 years for depreciation not 10 or even 30 its much less.
That itself would also be an asset. Think of building a website as a project much like construction of a building. It could take many months or years to build with all sorts of different costs going in, development costs, consultants, coders etc. Once the project is complete all those costs get rolled into an asset on the balance sheet and depreciated on a fixed schedule. If you don't make improvements eventually that asset is worth $0 on your balance sheet.
Yeah and all of a sudden info wars has no assets when the store rakes in millions each year from selling merchandise and supplements. Where did the money go Alex? Don't be taken in by this fraud.

This article goes into it in more detail https://www.fox5vegas.com/2022/04/15/fertilizer-company-complains-about-railroad-shipment-limits/ A little more complicated then Mr "Durden" would have us believe. Also I work in the produce industry and this daily news letter has a lot of good insights into the industry https://theproducenews.com/ Big story right now are the trucking delays at Texas border from Abbots stupid stunt. He reversed the decision that was causing delays but the damage to supply chain was already done and will take months to catch up.
Everyone does realize that the satanic temple is a political activist group and not religious right? Basically they exist to point out the hypocrisy of the state favoring one religion over others (I.e. in the USA Christianity) and make sure religious rights are evenly applied. For example if you wanted to put a statue of the 10 commandments out front of city hall then the state should also allow a Baphomet statue otherwise Christianity is getting an advantage from the state that no other religion gets. Has nothing to do with Satan they are in fact an atheistic organization masquerading as a religion to pursue these kinds of lawsuits. A great case example in my county was in God we trust stickers on police cars, religious group wanted them on but Satanic temple sued the county. The stickers are still there but the Christian group had to finance it in full instead of using the county funds.
