I have no idea why we are even pretending servings have anything to do with what you're supposed to eat. "Popcorn Perfect Butter Blast" has "0 fat, 0 calories" while being literally just oil i.e. pure fat because they divided 150g of it into 450 servings as if the average person i s individually buttering each piece of popcorn. Tictacs are pure sugar and round down to 0 calories and 0 sugar. I've seen cookies with 1/2 a cookie for the serving size. Legally they are supposed to reflect "typical consumption patterns" but it's more like "the smallest portion the FDA will let us get away with".
And you'd be making a terrible mistake. Yes, 45-64 year olds overwhelmingly turned out for Trump. But, Trump won ALL age groups for male voters. Trump just barely won 45-64 women by 1% and lost all other ages ranges for female voters. (According to a study with 22k participants) Source
On one hand you're right Liam's response was pure insult no answers, but on the other hand Conor's argument started from misinformation or in bad faith because Liam was there to support the launch of the flotilla not ride it.
I think something a lot of people miss is the actual scale of the US as a country. My state is pure blue. My local government is mostly tolerable although not as far left as I'd prefer. Rioting here accomplishes nothing because democrats aren't in control of the government so we're just trapped along for the ride.
For me to join a protest with a meaningful impact I would need to travel to Washington D.C.. For a west-coast American to actually protest at the capitol of America it would be a similar travel scale to an Irishman traveling to Moscow to protest the EU. That trip alone would cost me ~450 euros before fees and before the cost of any food/shelter. It would require that I leave my job if I stayed for more than a week and because I have no job I can't pay rent so I must surrender my belongings and uproot my family.
This just isn't achievable for the average person without your life already having entirely collapsed in the first place. The most any of us out here can realistically do is try to throw money and other forms of support at the problem and hope other states can get their shit together.
