I'm just recovering from a thiamine, niacin and iron deficiency because I lived in a vegan house for 2 years (I'm not vegan). Absolutely awful and I spent over a year wanting to die every day - really recommend a b complex now

I have friends who ran her campaign! She's sound - but the President is 'ceremonial' (although public interventions have become more common over time - esp under MDH) - it's a pulpit to push back against a deadlocked militarist centre right FF/FG admin and a rising (but still marginal) far right.

Two salient factors are that the UK, compared to our continental peers, are much, much more socially liberal across all age groups. And the Reform vote is very heavily skewed towards older demographics. Things are bleak but we're looking at a more optimistic picture than France or Italy.

Many economists are convinced that credit and the World Bank are something 'new, because they have never heard of the fairs at Piacenza or the Burgos Consulado. - Pierre Vilar - A History of Gold and Moeny

If the economists of the 1920s failed to understand monetary instability, which in their eyes was something 'new,' it was because they only looked at recent history. Had they gone back to the 14th or 17th centuries, they would have seen what devaluation really was.
