Just another reason to never use AI.

I think the real problem is rich people thinking that their lives are "amazing" and can not understand, because their livelihood depends on it, why some one could possibly have a different opinion about their own life. What do you mean you can't afford rent, planes have Wifi now! You haven't got a meaningful raise in 5 years, but ChatGPT 5 was released, it's a step improvement in functionality! Not a single thing that is amazing impacts me nor has improved my life. But I guess rich people flying around can stream Netflix, we truly are living in a Utopia.
This is true for every obesity intervention.

> However, the carotid arteries may be a red flag for heart failure also. This is because, when the carotid arteries become less flexible, they do not expand properly to let blood through. This can raise blood pressure, which forces the heart muscle to work harder. Over time, this can lead to heart failure.

> A carotid ultrasound, sometimes called a Doppler scan, takes an average of 15 to 30 minutes for most people, although this can vary. A small handheld sensor is moved back and forth over the neck, generating sound waves which bounce off the arteries.
SO - why can't a simple blood pressure measurement screen for that "become less flexible" issue? Without needing any fancier equipment, higher-skill personnel, or longer test?
Because high blood pressure can have many transient causes: caffeine, exercise, stress, dehydration, even high salt intake. Further, other diseases can also cause high blood pressure, such as diabetes, and Hypertension (high blood pressure) is also it's own disease.
No mention of the number of poisonous vaccines taken by each person? Seems disingenuous..
That's because the number is 0 (zero).

I am truly sorry for the situation you find yourself in.
Meta makes far more money from scammers than they will from you so it's in their best interest.
This is the line that is often repeated but it is simply not convincing except to people who are on that side (which is my side too if that matters). To me, it is obvious that a number of opinionated decisions are made in writing a Wikipedia article, and those decisions are consistently biased. In the last 10 years or so it has been REALLY bad and if you consume information from many different news sources, it is easy to spot the bias Wikipedia carries despite it trying to look like a factual and neutral source.
Every assertion I checked from that article is false. So there is no evidence Wikipedia has a bias.

Women who are economically well off and can afford necessities, child care, and education for their children are having families.
And no, the answer is not more immigration; we just had an election that overwhelmingly rejected that idea.
I don't think that is the case. According to pre-election polling more than 50% of voters said the economy was their biggest concern and only 25% said immigration. And the Democrats were largely touting the status quo which cleary people do not want.
