I had this very conversation with an honest-to-god #Techbro a while back, telling an anecdote about a guy in line at a store who, when asked "How are you today?" responded with an "I'm doing great!" and I was like...really?
We don't need another mindfulness retreat, folks. We need to take action.

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.
"Sherlock & Daughter"' (Season One) was pretty delightful, actually. A pleasure to binge.

#NBAFinals Game 7
#OKC has more talent, had a dominant season, has (*very* slightly) overplayed the #IndianaPacers overall in this series, they are who I picked to win it all, & they have home court advantage.
But Indy has shown historical grit and teamwork.
So, I say: Go Pacers! 🏀😎👍

@SnowshadowII Let's all take a moment to reflect that the guy Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention at the Department of Homeland Security is 22 years old and his previous work experience is "performing lawn care work around my neighborhood,” and also "worked part time as a clerk at an H-E-B supermarket."
