    You could double everything in this post too and that’s only 60% consumption.

    • 20 m² of personal living space + 20 m² for every 2 ppl as bathroom / kitchen
    • 4200 kcal/day
    • 2800 kWh/year, but this already includes public services (education/healthcare)
    • 1 washing machine per 10 ppl
    • 2.4 kg clothing / 6 months
    • wear tops for 1.5 days and bottoms for 7.5 days without washing
    • 1 laptop per 2 people with a yearly power consumption of 62 kWh. (bizzarely they talk about an 800 MHz computer and seem to confuse HDD and RAM). If your gaming computer used 400 W you could use it for 300 hr/year.

    That seems a lot more reasonable to me and we still come in under carrying capacity

    If you look at the numbers in your own post these laws are used very rarely, and in every state a fraction of petitions applied for are granted.

    There needs to be actual evidence greater than “ex girlfriend said so” for a court to grant the request.

    Ironically by the numbers Florida seems to be the state most likely to use the law. Granting a total of 2,355 in 2020. California on the other hand has issued only 984. These are the 3rd and 1st most populous states respectively.

    Given how many people go through breakups each year and how many people are insanely petty, seems like it’s not just based on a disgruntled ex’s word.

    My understanding is there is not a single state with red flag laws that allow all weapons to be seized based on one person’s word. Well other than a doctor giving a professional diagnosis.

    For everyone else you have to have some evidence. Either multiple people witnessing threats/harassment video, or text based evidence.

    Yep we have evidence in the paleolithic of individuals without teeth living for several years after they lost them. That means their community was chewing their food for them. Which is crazy to think about.

    Not to mention there is also evidence of severely disabled people, typically from injuries, surviving full lives. These individuals mobility would have been very limited, but people jus took care of them. Because that’s what you did.



  • I’ve made it to what is typically classified as an “excellent” score with practically no debt and have paid no interest all while spending within my means. Here’s how I did it.

    I have several credit cards that I keep paid off every month. I almost always buy things with store promotion credit (no fees or interest), which is typically another credit card or small loan, and pay it off within the promotional period. I do this with purchases I need to make anyway, like a washing machine, and not on anything frivolous.

    I paid all expenses for a nice vacation recently with new travel cards. I could have paid out of pocket, but now I can pay it off slowly with 18 months interest free and get the points.

    I do drag these payments out a little during the promotional periods because while I can pay outright I do like keeping cash reserves for emergencies. That probably does help.

    The only loan I have ever had was a very very small student loan. Paid that immediately after covid loan pauses ended. I did recieve a credit hit of about -20, but in 3ish months I was above where I started. I’ve noticed everytime I pay off any large credit it takes an immediate hit, but always grows higher in a few months.

    So far I’ve not been denied on any credit I’ve accessed and typically get good terms, so I’m not sure how true it is that I’ll be denied for having a good score. But I am just barely at that “excellent” score.

    Now the downside and credit to your point is this took a very long time. If I bought a ton of things I could barely afford and just barely made payments, maybe even missed a few, my score would have grown so much faster. Paying on an irresponsible loan for 5 years is considered “better” than me paying my credit card off every month.

    Imo that’s the racket, people that spend irresponsibly grow their score much faster. It does indeed promote overconsumption.

    But it is still possible to grow a good credit score with slow incremental work. It’s unfair and a bad system. I’d rather not have to do any of this, but it’s possible.
