Assuming rebuilding manufacturing is the intended goal, how feasible is it to start at the local level, as if in a preindustrial society? That means towns would be going back to having their own smiths, bakers, butchers, like in preindustrial times? Guess that’s a consequence of deindustrializing—go back to making handmade stuff since the local businesses that once mass-produced closed long ago.

Not necessarily ‘ding’ them, but it would be nice if the Ford CEO uses a Ford when going to work. If said CEO goes out of their way to not use a Ford, then that’s a red flag.

It’s the same answer to “if you give someone a gift, did they steal from you?” or “is a discount stealing?”

By working on my self-esteem. A lot of the fear is tying your worth on the outcome of approaching your crush.

If you decouple your self-worth on whether your crush reciprocates or not, then you can come as close as you like.

Simple answer imo is that society is hypersexualized. Society considers having sex the pinnacle of human experience.

You’ve said your opinion. The asker asked. They got their answer. End of story.

Work hard. Play hard. I try to do all my chores and tedium in weekday. Weekends are two-day vacations.
