Recently I realized that US are very close to a centrally planned economy. Meta wasted 50B on metaverse, which like how much Texas spends on healthcare. Now the "AI" investments seems dubious. You could fund 1000+ projects with this kinds of money. This is not an effective capital allocation.

Also an expiry date for every bill. All things should have a timeout.

We should fund another lobby that pull in the other direction.

hard to compare 2005 ford focus or toyota corolla with 2025 model year. A lot of more feature, cars are safer etc.

Dogs also hunt rodents, they can lead you a dead deer, find a rabbit hole. Dogs chew on skins, bones and eat other parts that humans don't like.

Dogs could be source of calories as well....

lack of bleaching force owners to keep high standard (hygiene and vaccinations)

>instant gratification is practically a way of life.

For kids on ADHD spectrum - absolutely. Marshmallow test is flawed, because it doesn't filter for the lack of control over executive function.

> A follow-up study showed that kids from stable, reliable homes were much more likely to wait than kids from unpredictable ones.

Unstable home is strongly correlated with impaired lack of control over executive function.

> One is that I really don't like being in charge of my own destiny with this kind of thing.

There is a bit of contradiction in this and next statement.

> because I wasn't in control.

Control is the most important factor in managing emotions. People without control are 10x more likely to suffer from trauma. (Car accidents while driving vs being a passenger)

> It pains me to leave

Do you have ADHD? This looks like Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, talk to a specialist - I'm not one.
