Imagine living in a society where we collectively decide some people just get all the privilege to themselves, and the rest of us can just roll around in the mud, and everyone is ok and happy with that.
The good news is the first few pounds are the easiest to lose.
The bad news is that you will not see a meaningful difference in just a week, or even one month, not enough to be the only thing keeping you motivated, at least. Depending on what you are after, caloric weight-loss might not even be enough to reach a very specific look, though it will go a long way.
My advice to you: find a way to stay motivated that is not based on results. This needs to be a new mindset, a journey you are undergoing. You'll need a sizable adjustment to your routine. Find a laborious project you are excited about to keep you off the couch and on your feet.
Most importantly, realize that weight loss is almost all about what you eat. It's very hard to go on a caloric deficit just by exercising, because a) exercising will make you more hungry, b) will convert fat to muscle which is heavier (though leaner), and c) it's a LOT more work and time. Instead, physical activity is more of a way of attaining a deficit without an extremely boring diet of lettuce and it also takes away opportunities to eat out of boredom.
You'll feel more hungry than you are used to, especially in the first couple of weeks as your body learns a new metabolic normal. Drink lots of water to both stay hydrated, and to feel full.
To be fair, this is much deeper than Trump. The cancer runs deep, in the veins of all the legislators, judges, advisors, and voters who enable this behaviour unchecked.
I'm using off-the shelf CT-clamps with an ESP. Obviously it's a fair amount more work, but it's cheaper than a commercial solution, fully offline and no subscriptions, you know exactly what you are getting, and you can build a solution that is just the right size for your application, and infinitely modifiable if your needs change.
Here's an idea: instead, ban devices that do not function without an internet connection. Devices are not "smart" when you have no sovereignty over them.
The US cutting off the rest of the world first does the exact opposite of this. No matter how big the US is, there's not a chance in hell the US can both compete with China and antagonize the rest of the world at the same time. This is pure fantasy.
They’ll order your food and find the best deals on shopping, swipe your dating profile, negotiate with your lenders, and generally anticipate your every want or need. The only ingredient they’ll need to realize this blissful future...
blissful future ??? This sounds like some nihilistic death where you stop participating in society. WTF is wrong with people.
I know you are being facetious, but for the sake of argument, at some point, the tariffs are so big, no trade is happening, so it doesn't matter how "big" the tariff numbers are at that point, it's all the same.
Priced out of circuses? My dude, social media is the new circus, cheaper and more accessible than ever. No need for bread when we can control and distract the masses by pulling on the algorithm levers at no cost.
