I've been saying for years that fast food needs to be eliminated and the FDA/DEA is a joke.

Feeling isolated, being angry and living in fear are personal choices.

This is a weird post because you identify one thing that's basically a systemic issue and then also tout the rugged individualism that is what's destroying America. I do agree fast food as it is now is a disaster for America. But like, if we had healthier fast food options that were affordable, I think people would eat them more. Hence not everything is a "choice", or at least that it would clearly be easier to make better choices if we had a society that was set up for them.

I don't "choose" to be isolated, it's just difficult not to be. There isn't a great culture or design around socialization in America. You learn implicitly to socialize in school, but after that you don't really get that same kind of regular access to people who are theoretically a demographic you can relate to easily. You might get it at work, but that's about it. And now you need a white collar job to be able to afford to live in many cases, and a lot of white collar jobs are remote so you actually just sit at home all day.

No wonder people are angry or living in fear when the powerful members of society not just don't want to do anything to improve situations like this, but will actively make it worse so that citizens will feel more desperate and submissive.
