I don't know. Should this thread be in Politics or Health & Fitness?

    Well I admit your post today on the Starliner issues was on the nose so you can't be all bad. I'm an air and space liker myself.

    I read your nic as Biker, Heil Hitler but it could be initials. First impressions are not always right.

    Ah, graduation. I thought '88 didn't fit for birth year. I figured if it was 1988 you maybe were a gamer.

    FredForeskin is a boomer, foreigner trying to influence the US election. The US Constitution gives him zero rights as a foreigner.

    These are the facts.

    I thought you were a self-loathing Canadian who was moved to the US as a kid, but, I can see that your level of ignorance can only be American made.

    "Due Process (Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments): The Constitution guarantees that "no person" shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This protection applies to everyone, including non-citizens.

    Equal Protection (Fourteenth Amendment): The Equal Protection Clause ensures that all persons are entitled to equal protection under the law, which includes foreign nationals within the U.S.

    First Amendment Rights: Non-citizens in the U.S. are generally protected by the freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly.

    Protections Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures (Fourth Amendment): These protections also extend to non-citizens."

    There are more.

    Not that there are any actual rights anyway.

    It's a dominating factor in any poor area of America regardless if it's a White community, Native community, Black community, or Hispanic community.

    I've driven through many of the above communities on my recent trips in the States and often talked about such here at Elitetrader.com

    A correlation I saw as stated many times...the number of fast-food restaurants in these communities...even in poor areas.

    The United States has an Obesity problem...it's an epidemic regardless of the ethnicity group. The scary aspect, now Asian communities' obesity rating numbers are increasing too although less than the above ethnicity groups.

    I drove in rural communities in Illinois, South Dakota, and Kentucky and then through urban communities of the same states. The more fast-food restaurants I saw...the more obesity I saw, the more kidney centers, and the more diabetic centers.

    It's scary to see that many regardless of ethnicity. It's something I never saw before about 40 years ago. In addition, television commercials are flooded with fast-food advertisements. Go to rural community...you'll see more Culver commercials, Bob Evans, Braum, Whataburger on top of all the many mom-and-pop fast-food places that are not franchised.

    In contrast, go to urban communities...you'll see more McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Pizza Hut, Subway, and Taco Bell especially as you get near to any major university.

    Now they're putting these places inside of Walmart stores...it's crazy. If Walmart is not bundled with a fast-food restaurant...you'll find a Walmart across the street from a fast-food restaurant or nearby several fast-food joints regardless if it is a rural, urban, or suburban community.

    I highlighted above Culvers because my brother lives in a rural community in South Dakota as a Doctor...with a Culvers on the edge of a rural community and a suburban community. They have 3x more kidney centers and diabetic centers than they had 10 years ago.

    Most of his patients with cardiovascular problems, kidney disease, and diabetes are Native Americans, White Americans and Hispanic Americans. Now go down to Kentucky near where my other brother resides as an EMT...most of his obesity patients are White Americans and Black Americans.

    Now drive North into Illinois into the Chicago area...more Black Americans with obesity problems but as you drive out of the city limits into the north suburbs of Chicago...more Asian Americans and White Americans with obesity problems.

    As I stated, it's not an ethnicity issue although the ethnicity impact the most are Hispanic and Black Americans because they are two of the fastest growing ethnicity groups in America and that growth is targeted by fast-food businesses only bested by the growth of Asian Americans...

    Asian fast-food restaurants has become very unhealthy for cardiovascular disease.

    It's a fast-food restaurant epidemic that's creating high obesity problems in the United States, and its big money business that these companies will fight to maintain because it's making them filthy rich along with employing a lot of people from the community.

    I recently had friends from South Korea visit me here in Quebec, Canada after they visited relatives in the United States. They said they were overwhelmed by the enormous numbers of fast-food restaurants...that type of fast-food popularity you will only see in urban communities in cities of Canada...

    More importantly, Canada has less of an obesity rating than the United States.

    Prevalence of obesity was over 8 percentage points lower in Canada than in the United States (24.3% compared with 32.6%) and among women, more than 12 percentage points lower (23.9% compared with 36.2%)

    I'm more shocked that more people in the United States aren't suddenly dropping dead from heart disease with high obesity ratings like that. Obesity is an epidemic in all ethnicity, mix races et cetera thanks to fast-food restaurants.

    Last of all, when the Olympics get closer to LA 2028...they will need to plan to build wider seats in the arenas and venues due to the big asses of Americans paying to watch the sporting events. :D

    I expect the fast-food commercials, and beer commercials to be dominating the commercial breaks on TV during the LA Olympics as they will be targeting people of color.
