My fasting glucose was raising steadily up to 99, but I didn't think much of it as my A1C was always around 5.0 to 5.2. Then my A1C jumped to 5.5 (when I was losing weight) after being at 5.0 (when I was gaining weight). Then I started having kidney failure.
I eat mostly Mediterranean-ish diet. But I would eat late, foods like tortilla pizzas and Larabars.
But those weren't the issues. I think the root cause of my issues is/was leaky gut, probably SIBO. I'm still working on resolving the SIBO but it is better managed now than what it was before.
I wonder if gut issues are the root cause of our issues. I also wonder if the cause of the gut issues are from highly processed diets along with agriculture that puts a lot of chemicals all over our food.

I think this is a good thing. Really. I have seen non competes wreck people's ability to earn into a future, hold them captive in jobs, etc.
All the excuses are covered by other laws like taking customer data bases with you or proprietary tech/systems.
When I sold hardware the company wanted me to sign one that literally claimed I "could not sell to anyone who MIGHT some day be their customer". I told them, "you either want to hire me or you don't but I will never sign that".
My non compete was replaced with a document that said I couldn't tell anyone else in the company that I didn't have a non compete. 😂
Being in the software industry the last company I worked for tried to get me to sign something like this and other stuff (like I'm not allowed to program outside of work and if I do then they own it). Total BS. I said I wouldn't sign it and got other coworkers on board with me. The lawyers in the company had to step down from having us sign the document. Some people signed it right away even though they didn't need to. Employees don't understand how much power they have.
Granted, in the current market it is much harder as it is an employers market right now (especially if you want to work remote). I still wouldn't sign one of those though even though I've been looking for work for the past 5 months.
I think he is talking about the hutterites and the Bruderhofs. There might be other groups but those are two of the bigger groups that I know of. Socialism like this really takes a shared ideology beyond socialism as the goal.
Yeah, I was stacking for awhile. Stopped when auto taking out of my paycheck stopped working. But need to a cushion for a coming lay off. I'll be on it again once I get my next job.
I'm always cursing when Bitcoin goes up in price! I need more time to accumulate!
