If you’re healthy.
Sucks to be disabled or immunocompromised or at risk in any other way…
Also, it’s still killing at much higher rates than the flu.
And I won’t even start getting into Long COVID, which I’m currently researching. But it is a major crisis. 2-4 million people unable to work in the US because of it.

When I was into gym and building muscle mass this confused the hell out of me at first.
Not really.
There have been extensive sociological studies over this. Condition in a capitalist society and the promotion of the “homo economicus” model continually reinforces “greediness” and leads to people in capitalist societies being far “greedier” on average.
It isn’t a natural thing, it is conditioned. Obviously everyone is greedy to an extent. But in anthropological examinations of different forms of societies, altruism scored far higher than greediness in non-capitalistic societies.
Kate Raworth, Oxford Economist, wrote an excellent chapter about this in her book called “doughnut economics”. The chapter is “Nurture Human Nature”.
The view that all humans are greedy and rational was promoted by Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill and is the precursing foundation of capitalism. But modern economics have rejected this view as it has been proven to be inaccurate, and increasingly rely on theoretical models built within behavioural economics.

Critical of capitalism ≠ Socialist
There’s a lot of nuance you’re missing out on in this simplistic statement.

Does this statistic include calories fed to livestock or not?
This fact makes me viscerally angry
Lac Léman, is the french word for what english people call lake geneva (all the region around lac léman is french speaking).
Léman comes from celtic “lemann” which means lake.
So lac léman is the lake lake. Given it is the biggest lake in western europe, not a bad name.
That’s not how these collegues treat them.
They act like you can basically “think yourself out of” most mental illnesses.
“minor edits”
Basically asks you to rewrite the whole thing
