The Spanish prime minister-- Pedro Sanchez-- is a political animal. He managed to maul and contain the far-right in a snap election he called. He has also spurred the economy and is growing, because he integrated many migrants well into the labour force. And even baser is that his government is pro-Palestine. All he had done in the past years granted him the political and social capital to enact policies that might ruffle the feathers of monied and powerful interests.

I hope Sanchez's government will survive any politicking against his progressive policies. The housing crisis is happening across the developed world, and oligarchs will propagandise the public into believing that the crisis is unsolvable, because resolving this will eat their bottomline.

There is a Saudi tribe that celebrate a flower festival with men wearing chained flowers over their heads.

High heel shoes originated in India as worn by horsemen to hold themselves during horse rides. The shoes then became fashionable amongst European nobility including men. Eventually, high heels became almost exclusively a feminine fashion for some reason.

A lot of gender stereotypes are really social constructs. As a multicultural man, if I am asked what does it mean to be a man, I don't really have an answer. If one travels the globe with an open mind, they will find that a lot of their preconceptions growing up will be challenged.

foreigners should get an even bigger tax.

Yeah, the Channel Island of Jersey only allows foreigners to buy property if they had lived in the islands for five years. They are only a handful places in the UK where they have relatively less pressure on housing. Not sure if they still do it though. Regardless, I am all for this.

The wealthy are corrosive to society, breaking down many humans for the sake of a few.

The rich co-opted being against rich, corporate landlords-- or any rich individuals-- from overseas buying local properties and contributing to housing crisis as "racist". I feel like this is talked about less. Instead, actual decent working foreigners are scapegoated.

DNC: I am here for the working people-- from billionaires, all the way to millionaires.

There is a book advocating for UBI, which detailed studies showing it is actually easier and cost effective to just give homeless people unconditional cash grants. Contrary to expectations, 9/10 homeless folks cleaned themselves and looked for accommodation.

A monied entity who likes to steal of one's labour. Shocking.

This reasoning applies to everything, like the tariff rates that the Trump admin imposed to each countries and places is very likely based from the response from Chat GPT.

Totally not a bot.

I think the issue is that if you had injuries at younger age, those injuries become inflamed again as you become older. There are athletes who said their injuries become inflamed again when they hit 30's. There are also soldiers who passed away after their old wounds became a problem again at old age. The body just can't keep up repairing itself anymore.

However, old injuries isn't just the only explanation. If one have hardly been sporty or did labour intensive jobs at younger age and feeling pain on the knees, it could be genetics. If not, then it is something entirely within the person's control: overweight. I have friends who gained weight tremendously over the years even though we are only in our early 30's. One of my friends could hardly walk for long at a pretty short distance. I reckon it is because they work from home and don't do any exercise (some of them became too jaded and insecure over the years to go to gym), while I and my other friend work on-site so we have more physically demanding jobs and we still do exercise.

It wasn't that long ago. The survey was conducted 3-5 years ago iirc.

I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.

It is ironic that it is the original American swasti-car who took over this generation's swasti-car.
