I now have a mental illness after I started smoking cannabis at the age of sixteen. These silly examples are to do with diet etc. Of course someone who lives on rice and fish is likely to live to a ripe old age even without top-class medical care. That says more about the American diet and Harlem drug / gang culture amongst young males than it does about socialism. Anyway, you can't blame capitalism for diet. Democracy is a fundamental plank of capitalism. The capitalist states have come to grips with democracy a lot better than their socialist counterparts. I've no idea. Nikhil used it as an example of the superior nature of communist states over capitalist ones. You make it sound as if we creep over to Africa in the middle of the hight and steal all of their cows. Cyptocurrency mining now reportedly uses nearly as much electricity as Argentina and Bitcoin’s energy consumption has more than quadrupled over the past four years. This is because food grows, using the infinite (for human purposes) supply of energy from the sun. Many people in the US and UK are still fit and healthy desite the blandishments of fast food companies.
It also makes you feel you are a contributor to the universe. Not all of these are perpetrated by communists, of course. Of course there is also a finite amount that can be grown, but there is no suggestion that this point has been reached. In your ideas of limiting choice, you can see in embryo the link between communism and political repression that I mentioned above, and why it all goes pear-shaped in Socialist states. I believe that we should intervene to end repression wherever practical. And China - well, overalls and political repression. As for the American diet; well, if it weren't for the capitalists in government keeping the price of meat artificially low, meat and dairy produce would approach a "real" value reflecting their environmental cost; such a rise would typically make meat cost between 25 and 50 times what it costs today. They spend 84% of their budget on conservation programs and about 14% on fundraising, leaving just 2% for other overhead costs. Unlike others, we know without you, our generous donors, our programs would not be possible. The proceeds from the sale of donation items fund their charity programs.
Use your Donor Advised Fund to make a gift to CHOC. Our P2P crowdfunding software offers increased functionality and gamification with fundraising thermometers, leaderboards, and scrolling donor comments. Many people in America choose to eat healthily, as they do in capitalist Europe, where fast food consumption is a fraction of its US levels. If the "real" cost was so high, capitalist companies would not be able to make a profit selling it at a fraction of this (that is - without the phantom subsidies mentioned above) and so would not do so. http://terebinthministries.org centralized approach enhances transparency and responsibility, allowing businesses to track the impact of their donations in real time. What you base you're idea of "real" cost on I don't know. You want to tell people how much to eat (presumably, by rationing the food supply), because you know better than them. Of course, food is a physical substance and there is only a finite amount at any one time.
It plots the gift magnification factor against the gift as a percentage of the baseline amount. Let's make this nice and simple; there is a fixed physical amount of "food" in the world at any one time; regardless of money. For the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 tax years, they chose The Trussell Trust (a UK food bank charity). It’s only $2.99, and about $2 of that goes to charity. It’s time to give back to Society! Or that starvation and destitution are rare in any genuine socialist / communist society? Having grown up in a society that deeply reveres cows, I have always felt a strong connection to these gentle beings. Sadly, it is oftne not practical (we could not start telling China what to do, for instance), but as more and more nations come into the capitalist, democratic fold, more and more people will have the liberty and affluence we take for granted. Our food doesn't, on the whole come from the 3rd world and if it does, it is not because some 3rd world farmers are growing profitable crops for export that there is starvation. They are very, very poor. So, a nation which overeats as a default is likely to suffer poor health.
