I'm in Canada where we have restricted some food dyes. I miss the old colours of Froot Loops and Smarties (similar to M&Ms, not rockets). But it's fine because those colourants really do only exist to make junk food look good.

It's not clear to me the exact scope of what they consider to be artifical dyes though. Is a dye produced by a genetically modified bacteria natural enough?

Conservatives have been saying that Dems want to force them to eat bugs, so it's a little strange to be tacitly encouraging the use of Natural Red 4 which is made from crushed beetles.

Mate I'd be buying a car that ISN'T American, because international manufacturers would be diverting supply away from America. I have and use a bicycle, but it's difficult to bicycle to the ski hill with my family's skis.

As a Canadian shopping for a car should I expect price drops due to diverted supply?

My buddy warned me about the mint the pervious owners planted, and I pulled it right away. It was right by our basement entrance so I frequently peer in and inspect for mint shoots. I think there must be a buried barrier or something (like landscaping cloth) preventing it from spreading outside the bed it was in. I found a small sprig 4 years after pulling everything I could find.

Could you suggest alternate wording that succinctly conveys what the commenter obviously meant?

Isn't it a lot more like a capitalist treadmill? Work hard to make number go up! It is in fact beatable in the sense that the number can't actually go up forever, eventually the system crashes.

It actually isn't a movie, it's a Broadway musical that was filmed and released without a cinematic release. If you knew anything about cinema or the English language you'd know that, but you're too obsessed with making me look like an asshole to think about it rationally.

I did 6 months for each of my kids and it was great.

Killing time are you being intentionally obtuse just to kill time?

How is real estate wealth not consequential?Real estate wealth is real wealth, it's why it's literally in the name.

Personal income tax is not a wealth tax, and there are myriad ways to avoid it without evading it.

It's a wealth tax on wealth that's very difficult to hide.
