someone’s never been to Japan. Their cancer rate is actually higher than the US and survival rate is lower. Our obsession with screening DOES save lives. Don’t get me wrong.

As far as diet goes, no. They eat a LOT of fried foods, beer, and cakes.

The main difference it walking. Transit vs cars, stairs vs elevators, and of course universal healthcare, are all part of better health. But Japan is often referred to as “the smoker’s paradise.”

ok, but still…

Japan almost never worries about cancer screening without a symptom and they have a longer life expectancy.

Personally, I think all the fear mongering over cancer is worse for us as a whole.

I was thinking the opposite. that trace amounts of cancer are always happening in the body and being told to kill themselves by the immune system.

And if a device is sensitive enough to detect cancer in these ways, we suddenly end up with a 100% cancer rate and a lot of needless stress.

Ironically making real cancer rates higher

my daughter rolls out of the bottom bunk almost nightly.(floor level and we have a mat next to it so she’s fine, but the top bunk I feel way safer because it has rails all the way around asid from the ladder entrance, which is at the foot and can be easily blocked with a pillow. I want her to start going up there more.

We got this bed because we didn’t feel a standard would be safe

not really. we turned up the industry to produce more than the world combined in under 2 years with fewer resources and way less capital during WW2.

We currently have thousands of vacant factories and hungry rust belt communities eager to jump on such a move. It’d be an easier transition than you think. A few years of annoyance and stagnation and what not, but considering we can get most anything from somewhere else, it’d for the largest part be a management scramble and doubling of costs until we are back on line.
