"Dookie" is an underrated word.

"Those who have swords & know how to use them, but keep them sheathed."

~30% pullbacks are the norm in bull markets
What is the nature of rights? Are they self-enforcing? If not, in what sense are they real or valid?
They are the things you'd have alone in the wilderness. People should add to your life not take from it. We are social creatures, anti-social behavior (theft, coercion, murder) should be opposed.
Those do suck, but it's not just those, it's lots of regular automatics from what I've seen.
But it will stop the illness that causes the imbalance in the first place.
Something to do with carbon credits for "non-serviceable" transmissions changed around then because all the dip sticks were removed & all recommendations for fluid changes stopped. When you don't clean & change the fluid that shit breaks at 100k
Have heard similar things from friends.
In my experience, ivermectin works extremely well when taken at the first sign of illness. 6mg twice a day for 5+ days. You can often still tell your body is fighting something, but you will generally feel pretty good the whole time.
Beer wrecks my gut. Ivermectin truly seems to improve it. I definitely prefer the latter.
Buy-pharma.md is where I got mine. Have just been halving 12mg pills because they were previously the better deal.
Govt regs are making #cars worse. Transmission problems beyond 100k miles are WAY more common after 2010.
There's a big wealth gap between union and nonunion workers, across education levels. Typically, unionized workers earn about 10%-20% more than their nonunion peers, but these wealth gaps are far wider, an indication that the benefits of union membership accrue to workers over time.

The US historically had higher pay & better living standards while being far less unionized than other western countires.
History makes it pretty clear that thuggish organizations do not increase productivity.
Rights that someone else has to provide cannot he rights. You have no right to anyone else's time or labor (that would be slavery). You must trade value for value. All natural rights are negative rights.
You own yourself
You exist in time:
Past, present, future
When someone steals from you they are taking the product of your past & retroactively enslaving you. You have a right to own the things you have produced or that you earned & traded for.
When someone attempts to coerce or enslave you they are stealing your present. You have the right to live & speak & act, so long as it doesn't involve coercion or enslavement of others.
When someone murders you they are stealing your future. You have a right to live so long as you can keep yourself alive.
No person may initiate violence or theft or fraud. Beyond that there can be no other rights. You are not entitled to leisure, certain living standards, education, or food or housing. Those things cannot be guaranteed. A guarantee would have to be provided by someone else. If others failed to provide you with any of those you would have to initiate coercion to enforce such "rights."
If someone violates your natural negative rights by stealing from you or defrauding or engaging in coercion then they have lowered the interaction into the sub-rational animal realm & can be responded to as though they are a violent animal that one must fend off or destroy.
These basic moral principles are prerequesites to a civilized society. You cannot add rights as a way to advance society. You can only corrupt the foundation on which an advanced society is built & destroy individual liberty in the process.
Attempting to change or add positive foundational rights is like an extreme sort of layer violation in a complex computer architecture. The foundation must be fixed & unchanging with protection of the negative rights of individuals as the only task.
Sound money prevents the erosion of the value of one's past efforts & facilitates fair trades, which is another huge part that is needed to build a healthy society.
The productivity unlocked by the freedom created via negative rights & sound money can eventually create incredibly high living standards for everyone. Education can be free, as it mostly already is with internet access. All sorts of things can be free to the degree we can build economically sustainable businesses to provide them by generating revenue in other ways. But the need to exchange value for value never goes away. There is no "post scarcity" society. We can only aim to understand scarcity so well that we get extremely good at working around it.
The idea that rights are determined by collective consensus & rather than derived logically from existence is the root of most of the atrocities in human history.
Either individuals own themselves & we adhere to everything which logically follows (indiviuals being the smallest possible minority) or we prioritize groups & abstractions above actual people & we sacrifice individuals to the "needs" of imaginary blobs.
Individual rights are negative rights, you have the right to be left alone. You have no right to anything that someone else has to provide. All initiations of force are criminal whether done by costumed authorities or thugs in an alley.
