  • Yup, my point is that red states gdp is being propped up by blue cities. The argument that red states generate equivalent gdp conveniently ignores that the counties in the state that do vote red don’t actually generate that much gdp. Cities are generally blue because the very nature of city life leans blue, and if you take these blue cities out of the equation you’d end up with a fraction of the supposed gdp of a red state.

    And honestly a lot of these supposedly red states would crumble if gerrymandering didn’t exist, but that’s a separate point.










  • The easiest way to boil down weight loss is calories in calories out. If you are in a surplus, you will in most cases gain weight (with some deviance based on genetics and other bodily factors). Lots of carbs is fine if you have a lot of calories out. European people usually have walkable cities, and the infrastructure there promotes lots of calories out on a day to day basis. America is a lot more car centric. The average american has less calories out because walking/cycling is uncommon in most of the US. Coupled with the standard caloric dense american food, it’s easy to see how we are struggling with an obesity problem.

    Low carb is just one way to cut down on how many calories you intake. Nothing wrong with it, and there are obviously many other ways to go about it.
