There is such a thing as limiting factors such as factory floor space. They’ve been manufacturing at 100% capacity. They sell them as fast as they make them. Now that they have Giga Austin and Berlin ramping up they’re able to get the cybertruck underway. Bringing up Rivian is laughable. Look at the numbers of production. Why not bring up the electric ford truck while you’re at it? Because they made them in the dozens last year. Tesla is pushing millions of these EV’s out. The model Y is set to be the best selling car in the world this year. By profit it’s already the best selling last year. Want to talk about Rivian profit or ford profit on EV’s? It’s a joke.

I’m a home health PT and certified personal trainer. Don’t talk down to me about shit you know surface level facts on. Also the idea that food coloring and artificial flavorings is somehow leading to obesity is asinine. It’s more calories consumed than used. This is due to most people working sedentary jobs and the calorie density of prepared foods since most people don’t have the time or energy to cook after work. Telling people to eat less and move more is great and all but it doesn’t change the reality that for most people that advise won’t change shit about their BMI. Temporarily sure, permanently no. The hunger level people experience from losing a lot of weight is profound and enduring. Grelin is increased, leptin is decreased, Down regulation of GLP1 agonists. That’s what most obese people deal with indefinitely once they’ve lost a significant amount of weight. Not to mention the body’s self defense mechanisms like decreasing NEAT. You couple that with the fact that most people commute, sit chained to a computer all day, and you have a recipe for failure. Look up the statistics on long term weight loss. It’s mind blowing. Weight loss that lasts longer than 5 years is basically an anomaly and it’s not because 70% of people are fuck up retards. Maybe 65% but not 70% /s.

What life is like in Japan does not tell us anything relevant to what life in America will be like when the stock value of “thin” is reduced to nothing because it will no longer be scarce. To say nothing will change is not thinking deep enough about the implication of zero obesity.

They just released two drugs, Wegovy and Mounjaro, that have the same effect as the gastric sleeve surgery. Average weight loss for Mounjaro is 52 pounds. That’s just the average. Some people are losing 100+ pounds on it. It’s looking a lot like it’s going to be a blockbuster drug once they can manufacture enough. That means obesity is going to be a thing of the past. What happens when everyone is lean? Thin people have always had rediculous advantages in dating and life. What happens when everyone is thin? We’re about to find out.
