Thanks for your list of supplements.  I will listen and reevaluate my list.  I think you should talk more frequently about health topics.  They’re key to survival!

Hot dog! Someone finally told the right that they can’t tell others what to do if they don’t want to be told what to do! Someone finally told the right that forcing people to defend the nation is indeed slavery. Thank you! (Also, I’m an anarchist so don’t call me a liberal.)

Also, I don’t see these states as bad states. They’re just different and not what you want. People have the Universe-given right to have more government if they want it. But we absolutely have the right to have no government if we don’t want it. The key is to figure out how to have self-determination in a manner in which everyone can coexist.

Jack’s idea is how it SHOULD work. As an urban & transportation planner & engineer, I studied planning & zoning, along with transportation, and other concepts (and practice it) and what he states is it how it SHOULD play out. The problem is exactly as he states as well, people cannot restrict themselves from controlling OTHER people, so they make all these amendments and subsections backing out of adhering to the law. Decentralized  government is the key to minimal global and national influence on individuals, short of no government at all.

I’m not talking about you specifically- I know you have. It’s a blatant indictment of the supposed republican ideals.

On the U.N. breastfeeding thing….
This entire thing to me is stupid. This mandate is sponsored by some of the poorest nation’s on earth. No matter what the U.N. says on the matter, infants there will continue to receive breast milk because people in 3rd world nation’s don’t have the money to buy formula even if they wanted to.

It’s kinda like if the U.N. issued a mandate saying, the best thing on earth a man can do is flap his wings and fly. Well, that may indeed be great; but since I can’t do so the issue moot.

The U.N. issues a mandate saying breathing is good for you but the US declined to support it!!! How dare they!? Come on.

I see all the supplements except for ALA.  Did you leave it out by accident or on purpose?

I was surprised when I found a recipe for a turmeric/ginger/cinnamon herbal tea blend that it included black pepper (freshly ground).  I was tempted to leave out the pepper until I heard it helped the turmeric.  After taking it a couple weeks, I stopped for a week and could feel the difference.  It is stout, not so easy to drink, heavy on the turmeric, which you have to be careful not to stain things.
Tempting to use the pills instead.
My daughter-in-law from India drinks a lot of turmeric. She cautions those who have not been in the habit of drinking it to take it slowly at first.  India is way ahead of the US on use of herbs, easy to find in little stores on the streets, and many things I have never heard of, nor did I hear anyone hesitate to claim what they were good for, of course you would need to do your own research.

Second on the ALA curiosity.
Also why not zinc & magnesium?

Regarding companies are addressing the student loan crisis.

I work for a company that provides voluntary employee benefits to participating businesses. In this sector, the idea of “financial wellness” is a very hot topic. Naturally, student loan debt has become a one of the key issues under the umbrella of financial wellness.

While there can still a “shell game” component to this, there are third party voluntary benefit providers whose sole purpose is to either renegotiate student loan debt on behalf of their client’s employees or straight up refinance student loans. Having the employer involved in this helps minimize the calculated risk of default and can help give the employee a much better rate than they might be able to get on their own.

I’ve been a teacher for 15 years and it boggles my mind the hatred and disdain everyone has for a group of mostly women who try every day to do what’s best for kids for very little money. Yes the system sucks, I hate all the testing and encourage all my parents to contact their representatives and complain. My years of experience with homeschooling is the kids are way behind their peers academically and socially (weird kid to the extreme).

I wish it was better, because they come to us and now my job performance is based on a kid who is two or three grade levels behind. Most education starts at home and the kids who are taught respect at home display it in public. I know I don’t have time to teach morals, manners, or ethics while teaching the curriculum set by the state, nor do I want to.

It’s the parents job. Homeschooling is only as good as the person administering it, and let’s be honest, could the average person teach someone calculus, French, and how to write a paper at masterery level. I know I couldn’t. I teach science. I take 30-50 hours a year of professional development to make sure I’m the best at my job. I am a highly trained in my craft and am good at my job, why would you not want me to teach your child.

Jack,

Jack,

I must have misunderstood the podcast, I thought you said Amazon listed the absorption rate of this multi-vitamin.  I went back and listened, I was mistaken, you were talking absorption on the turmeric.

Thanks for the help
