Just take a bit of time to think about why literally everybody is saying it's a worse idea to hold your investment than pay off your debt.
Just spend some time thinking why everybody is telling you that.

Alright we'll see if permanent DST results in the entire country shifting from 9-5 to 10-6 hours.

My working hours have never changed due to DST. In fact I've never seen the business hours of any business change due to DST.

There's a lot of differences. With permanent "Daylight Time", you can work a 9-5 job, get home, eat, get dressed, and still have 2 hours to enjoy the sunlight and get outside.
With permanent Standard Time, it's dark when you wake up, dark when you get home. No sunlight for you.

Least favorite looks mostly like Tuna and Squash.
I've actually have some of the non-tuna/squash options in the least favorite, the reason they're down there is because the quality is really poor. Eg: the gouda & fig sandwhich. You get 1 very hard bun, jam in a squeeze packet, and 1 tiny thing of prosciutto. That's the whole recipe and it costs like $13.

Also covid. It will forever be impossible to truly judge just how shit of a president he was, because covid is an asterisk on every single data point.

You're really suggesting animals evolved to be food? Lol.
They evolved to NOT be food. Anything that evolved to be food went extinct a long time ago, because they got eaten.

Exactly, animals are one of the least efficient sources of food out there. Cows did not evolve to be food.

It makes more sense when you realize what problem it was actually trying to solve.
Animal farming produces about 16% of global emission each year. That means about 1/6th of every pollutant released this year was because of animal farming.
The impossible burger is in a solid 90% reduction of power usage, water usage, land usage, emissions, deforestation.
Their goal isn't to make a healthy burger. Not at all.

Impossible was never about the animals. That might be priority number 30 on their list of top 30 priorities.
An impossible burger takes something like 99% less water, 90% less power, generates 99% less emissions, results in 99% less deforestation (much of the beef industry is deforesting the amazon rainforest too which is even worse.)
The goal was always environmental, not so much animal welfare.

As a person with common sense, I genuinely wonder if people really think it could ever be cheaper to raise a fucking cow to slaughter than grow some soybeans.
It's not cheaper, you're just pre-paying for it with your taxes

Looks like soybeans get about 14 million in subsidies per year from the US gov.
Slightly less than the 38 billion for meat

Nope it's pretty well practiced as an approach, nothing illegal about it. Your child or friend just happens to be an executive at the nonprofit you founded. How is that illegal?
Tax benefits come from being able to donate to the non-profit to pay their salary, rather than giving them a flat gift, which has huge taxes after around 11 million.

Much of it isn't necessarily to buy themselves a yacht or something. It's setting up a foundation, putting your family members in extremely high paying executive positions, then donating to it. Your family members get paid their huge salary to do nothing, and it is beneficial from a tax perspective compared to a gift.

That just makes it even worse. To have your entire emergency fund sitting in some investment.
