  • OK, I feel like many people here don’t know what this means.

    The US sells bonds to people. These bonds are promises to pay them back more in a certain number of years.

    The EU can’t demand payment for all of that debt. What the EU CAN do, is selling the bonds it already owns, flooding the market. And not buying more themselves.

    This would mean, that selling more bonds would become expensive for the US. Potentially they won’t find enough buyers to fund their government.

    Canada already threatened that (or started to do this, I don’t remember) once already at the start of Trumps term. This might have been a factor for him backing of his invasion fantasies the first time.
















  • Broo the amount of people pretending that they can’t get rice, beans, frozen veggies and some sauce, but McDonalds is cheaper and available is insane.

    “I have no choice, but to buy McDonalds every day” Lmao what? Unless you don’t have a kitchen, that is ridiculous. Even then, don’t they sell salads? Get the burgers for the calories you need and fill with salads until you aren’t hungry anymore.

    Edit: For relatively cheap and complete protein source consider Soy-granulate, sometimes called TVP. It also has a long shelf life since its dry.





  • The calories hit basically the same. The carbs might be closer to sugar and combined with the missing fiber you’ll get a big insulin spike. Gotta watch out for those to not build resistance.

    But there is this obsession with the “chemicals” like the Red dye 40 scare recently. Those are like 0.5% of the problem, but distract from the real problem of too many calories.

    The point at which you should care about Red40 is when you’re a professional athlete or bodybuilder on contest prep. No normal human has health issues from these “chemicals” (allergies notwithstanding) anywhere comparable to the issues of too many calories.

    Edit: As a German I do agree that American “Bread” should be classified and sold as dishwashing sponges.
