That's a pretty big list. Add Retirement communities and your pool increases even more. Add to that the fact that this is India where the population is at least 5x bigger and much more concentrated..
Most retirement communities don't have that much supervision.
Regardless, you can get a lot of data, but of it is from people who have other significant differences in lifestyle from the average person and so it is questionable how it applies. Military gets more physical fitness (we already know most of us need more). Boarding school implies young - children or just older, and so while not useful there are differences related to that to control for (military as well, unless you can get officers who are older thus allowing controlling for age).
> Most retirement communities don't have that much supervision
Retirement communities in India are relatively new. Most older folks get taken care of at home by domestic staff, which, given India's demographics, are incredibly cheap and thus plentiful.
There are retirement communities in India and end-of-life care centers as well. Societies change, and thanks to the internet, societies change faster than ever.
It's an e-bike. The competition is stiff, better looking, and better priced.
If they're lucky, this will appeal to university professors and over achieving parents of unsuspecting kids who want a cool bike but got an expensive dorky one instead.
The e-bike market has multiple tiers/segments. This is not priced to compete with brands like Rad Power Bikes, Lectric, or Aventon. It's likely going to compete with brands like Tern, Benno, Gazelle, Trek, etc.
edit: ask yourself why the median new car in the US sells for over $50k when you can easily find cars for less than half that price.
I find it hard to imagine what the overlap between this and e.g. ebikes from Trek, though. Besides the price of course... It's an entirely different product.
Releasing sand will cause it to ascend, not descend. Balloons descend by reducing lift, which means releasing gas or allowing the balloon to burst and releasing a parachute (for a controlled descent, if you don't care about control, just let the balloon burst).
There's a marked contrast between vaccinated and unvaccinated survival rates, and they pretty extensively tested and ruled out additional mechanisms they thought may be influencing their observations.
This is also why all online stock pundits are full of shit. None of them will publicly disclose their P&L's from trading because they make most of their money from YouTube and peddling courses.
The writing is on the wall. The opposition does not have any viable candidates, so it'll be 7 more years of Republican rule. What would you do if you were a large capitalist mega-corp? You wouldn't have much of a choice here.
I don't think repubs will be able to cross the midterms barrier! 7 years is just too far out. As sexist as it sounds, any male presidential democratic candidate would easily beat anyone from the other side in 2028, including the tanned guy.
This really depends, doesn't it? A GOO billionaire now owns the largest voting machine network; the GOP has a case in front of SCOTUS asking if they can intentionally racially segregate voting districts; Trump is deploying the military against US citizens with made-up cause while building an unaccountable secret police that require no warrants or habeus corpus.
If any of those are "fruitful" so-to-speak, Democrats may never have power again.
Remember, Donald Trump has tried:
1. A lightweight coup on J6 through supporters, but also by attempting to have secret service whisk away the VP before ratification of the election results.
2. To demand election officials "find" votes in Georgie.
3. Habitually denying the results of the election, including ones he won.
4. Claiming constitutional limits can be subverted by technicalities to allow lifelong rule with plenary authority (unitary executive + vice president handoff).
Now his head of the Department of Justice is outright stating that the majority of Democrats are criminals, Hamas terrorists, or illegal immigrants without evidence or even meaningful pushback. Which sounds an awful lot like what you say before using your gestapo to prevent them from winning elections...
I certainly wouldn’t “pitch” an idea about how to help further oppress the population of my country unless maybe, I agreed with the oppression and wanted to help. This is far from a Tim Cook “thank you for your leadership, here’s a nice plaque, can you not destroy us with tariffs plz” moment. This is a guy who called for having the military police SF.
2028 is 2 years away. In 2006, Obama was a U.S. Senator with less than 10% national name recogition [1]. In 2014, Trump was--at best--a political commentator.
Election cycles are getting longer. But social media also rewards meteoric rises that eclipse public vetting.
It didn't last 8 years last time, and Covid was one hell of an excuse. I'm not saying that the Democrats have a backbone for passing the type of opinionated legislation needed to repair most of the damage, but the clock is also ticking on how long overt fascism keeps hold appeal for its easy answer of might makes right and performative cruelty. Twenty years after the Iraq War and you won't find many people still thinking supporting that was the right side of history.
