In Cluj, Romania, you can pay for your bus ticket by doing 20 squats. Disabled and elderly people get to ride for free. pic.twitter.com/qPTxBa2JAt

I like it. If that were to happen in the US, the Fat Acceptance clowns would go apeshit.
That makes me like it even more.
By the way, obesity leads to about the same cognitive decline as Long Covid allegedly does.
On Inflation, Economics Has Some Explaining to Do.
Again, I was right and the economics establisment was wrong. Why? Well, it’s obvious that you can’t just pause an economy and then resume it, as we did with Covid, and expect no ill effects. It was always clear that any exogenous shock — and there are always exogenous shocks — would lead to non-transitory inflation.
There’s no model for this because it’s nearly impossible to plausibly model one-off events. That’s where deep systems thinking capabilities come in, and I have that.
I think this is one of the biggest divergences between what women think men care about and what they actually care about. Men do not give a single crap about stretch marks.
Or as a commenter said:
Was having sex with a woman back when I was in the army who said, “Sorry about my stretch marks” and I replied, “I don’t mind at all” when in reality I didn’t even see them or notice them. So of course I didn’t mind because I had no damn idea about any stretch marks that might or might not have been there.
This is the liberal dream. So glad we avoided this here.
A new military airframe will be in service for about 30 years. A new generation of radar signal processor comes along every 3-5 years. Any stealth characteristics you design into an airframe will be obsolete for 80% of its service lifeāand hamper other aspects of performance. https://t.co/z0GEyt01E8

Eh, none of this is really true. I do agree there is too much emphasis on stealth when most of it should now be on drones and the like, but rarely do adversaries have the latest equipment in all the right places, either. And stealth isn’t all or nothing — it’s a spectrum.
If it takes 10 seconds longer to get a missile lock, that’s 10 seconds more for you to get away. This is another clueless take by someone who knows little to nothing.
The CCP's adamant commitment to a Zero Covid policy is necessitating lockdowns that are slowing economic growth such that US economy is now forecast to outgrow China's for the first time since the end of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. https://t.co/h9cBFmhvBe

Hmm. What happened to the (always dubious) lib certitude that lockdowns lead to increased economic growth. Wait, that wasn’t true? But they had charts, charts I tell you!
In the PMC lib mind, every relationship is inappropriate.
The “whiny Fox News aggrieved white man NIMBY voice” is really annoying, but then again so is the liberal “I’m smarter than you and listen to this 30 minute lecture” NPR voice. Both make my skin crawl.
