But you don’t get to solve that problem with this vote. You try to solve the problem of the two party system with a sustained effort over time, but it’s not on the ballot this year.
I guess it’s too practical to think, “hmmm, which candidate is more likely to lessen or work to correct the genocide of Palestinians?”
Wish we could all be smart enough to drop Amazon in protest.
Revoke his citizenship.
They must not be spending enough ad money.
One data point doesn’t make a standard.
In general, most CrossFit coaches were well intentioned, but cared more about a rapid pace through reps, rather than the safety of the members.
Weightlifting in CrossFit is better understood as a subtly different exercise. Traditional Weightlifting is a maximum effort exercise, and purely by human physiological limits it has to be modified for CrossFit. If sub-max effort shortcuts were taught, and technical qualification requirements were mandated, the injury rate would be greatly reduced.
I was lucky to learn Olympic Weightlifting in the 90s from a world class coach, but that was just because I was in the right place at the right time.
I’m thankful for the exposure CrossFit brought to the sport, because there’s lifting platforms everywhere now. However, most CrossFit coaches are horrible in regard to providing necessary technique instruction to avoid injury.
One small example that frequently results in injury: you do not “catch” the bar when performing a clean on the palms of your hands. You catch the bar across your deltoids and clavicle.
At a CrossFit gym where I weightlifted for 3 years, I knew of five people needing surgery to repair damage to their wrists from catching a clean improperly on the palms of their hands. They could have just been taught proper technique from the start, but most CrossFit gyms are more concerned with pushing you to your limit immediately, not with finding your long-term potential and avoiding injury.
Hopefully it’s improved, but based on the rapid downward popularity trend, I’d assume they have killed off participants through attrition.
Because fascism.
I’m sure there’s a quid pro quo.
And they won’t apologize for their behavior, but will certainly bark back that you’re an elitist.
At their core, many are just bullies and it nicely appeals to the emotionally stunted desires of their base.
I recently watched a Nazi documentary on Netflix, and the parallels beyond concerning. If Trump is elected, you should expect Brown Shirt like violence.
For those who think my statement is alarmist, it takes time for fascist propaganda to build inertia, and we’re somewhere in the middle of the progression. If you’re paying attention, you can see and hear the rhetoric getting more violent. They are following a similar playbook to the Nazis by stimulating the rural communities with more and more nationalist rhetoric.
The wholly predictable outcome of poorly regulating capitalism.
“The market will create competition and the best products.” No. The market will seek the optimal method to make the most money, and if that optimal method includes killing people, that will be the method selected.
Start putting people in jail and taking businesses into receivership for bad behavior, and then the optional method for maximizing profit will also result in better products.
And they knew a long time ago it would be expensive and did it anyway.
“…avoid the core problem.”
This is America’s trueful motto.
It’s not binary, but I agree with your general sentiment.
However, the American citizen has been propagandized and groomed to be corporate bootlickers. To our own demise, we accept the gross negligence of both parties to create reasonable regulation to maintain the balance needed for capitalism to function fairly.
I’m thinking you don’t know the definition of “neoliberal.”
We should likely do as much of this as possible.
Seems this could accelerate the problem taking care of itself.
They’ll eventually say it was a mistake, and then immediately go back to doing their normal BS.
Welcome to the outcome of poorly regulated capitalism - corporate benefit outweighs societal benefit.
“Fiscal Conservatives” strike again.
