Realistically there would be fox news blasting propaganda on how much the country is going into debt to fund the madness. “People are going to the doctor for everything now! Back in my days when we fell with our bike we put a plaster on it, we didn’t burden the healthcare system with a few scrapes. Our mom gave a kiss on it and we’d be okay. A kid on our block Jimmy broke gis arm once and his mom did surgery on the kitchen table. But now? What do you think putting a plaster on by a doctor costs? 500 dollars. Yes, that’s right. It’s madness, Trump would have never stood for this, God bless his soul. We had it good under him. Now look. Wars, famine, heat waves, our economy is in shambles! And why? People don’t live like they do no more, sad. Do you wish we could go back sometimes? I do. I sit on my front porch and I wonder… what would life be if our great leader would still be here with us. I think we need to all channel our inner Trump tonight. We need it. America needs it. You need it.”

realistically that’s what’s going to happen on fox

in one day?

20, poker. Was still up though.

This is in fact confirmation bias.

Depending on your definitions, more than half the internet traffic is by bots.

But this does include all automated traffic, including scrapers and stuff. It’s not like 50 percent of people here are bots.

Black budget hits 100 billion. I’m certain there are people high up in the government who get warm fuzzy feelings from that type of stuff.

Still a (much) lower percentage than smokers.

Yes you can ironically get lung cancer after you’ve quit smoking. But more people stay healthy for longer when they quit.

And yes high alcohol consumption is devastating. Any amount is carcinogenic, there is no safe lower limit. Drinking heavily as an adult is a serious health risk, with lasting impact. Not drinking is always healthier than drinking. Quitting is always beneficial.

The stories of people dying of lung cancer after quitting and liver failure after quitting drinking, are mostly told by people that smoke and drink, as an excuse to not have to quit.
