The bank is likely not making more on the interest, as they have their own borrowing costs which have increased in line with the Federal Reserve Bank putting interest rates up to cut inflation.
Farms are businesses with owners and profits, especially big agriculture companies that feed millions of people. And anyone can be a shareholder of the public companies. Even if they work on their farms, farmers are still owners. Profits aren't the problem here, but go off on people who own stuff I guess.
Is it really necessary to use a tool to check for obstructions? Just use your eyes.
And farmers profit from people needing food. Is there an r/Eaters subreddit that we can join also?
You should sell your car and get something cheaper, paid for in cash. Getting debt free does always mean keeping the car or house or boat or whatever you couldn't initially afford and continuing to pay it off, sometimes it means selling the object and paying off what is left on the loan (if anything). $36k on the car is crazy, if you were serious about getting out of debt then you would get rid of it and swear never to get an auto loan ever again.
This is not your problem. You and your brother need to let your father live his life. If you're annoyed that he's not contributing to the household, then you need to move out. You're both adults, and it sounds like your Dad worked incredibly hard before his operation to provide for you while you were growing up. Now you're grown, time to leave the nest and fly. I would be so fucked off if I got a heart attack from overworking to provide for my family, only for my grown child who still lives in my house to call me lazy after not getting more work. You're coming off as incredibly ungrateful here.
Where is the evidence there is too much antibiotic use? Sure, the US uses more than other countries/regions, but is that too much? How much is the right amount? The "overuse" in the article is never defined. Also, headlines/articles using emotive language such as "pumped full of" or "deluged with" should be avoided, as they are trying to get you to think a certain way instead of just presenting the facts in a non-biased manner.
Like a natural disaster?? A single event affecting many claimants simultaneously is not often excluded at all. Even a cancelled flight falls into the same category above; single event, many people affected, all claiming at once.
If you don't mind, you can give more money to the government voluntarily.
Where do you live? You need to shop around more or travel much further to get cheaper groceries if they're the prices you're facing.
But people can, in most places, choose a renewable generator to provide their electricity. And if people are climate-conscious enough to buy an EV, they're probably climate-conscious enough to use renewable electricity to charge it, including those who use residential solar to charge their EVs. The majority energy source for the grid is not relevant when it comes to the power used for EVs.
Additionally, fossil fuels are burned more efficiently in power plants to create electricity than they are burnt in ICE cars. Driving an EV creates far fewer emissions than driving an ICE. So it's not moving emissions from transportation to electricity generation.
Do you have any evidence to show most people charge their EVs with fossil fuels?
Wrong, you can run PHEVs without fuel, you can charge them and they can run purely on electricity in electric-only mode. Hybrids are allowed to have exhausts, they run on fuel some of the time (if you choose).

Don't buy it?? Fast food is a luxury food option that almost everyone in this sub should be forgoing.
Or incredibly uplifting! They are some very cheap carbs. You should be happy that potatoes are cheap and not depressed that McDonald's fries are expensive.

The teacher's unions are mad they have competition.
It's not about using less causing an economic crisis. Consumption patterns will move more and more to non-physical goods and much more services, especially online. We already do this, people don't buy physical DVDs any more but stream content online. Emissions from physical media is being eliminated. We can spend less on stuff and more on services/experiences without causing economic issues.
But you probably would have burned those calories anyways, doing whatever else you might do. Are you against exercise because that burns calories? And working a garden at such a small scale is not practical to replace with a tractor.
If you start your own garden, you can get more calories out of it than you put in, that's what our ancestors did 1000s of years ago. They wouldn't plant crops if it was going to burn more energy growing them than they would get from eating them.

Landlords and homeowners do not build houses, they are not responsible for a shortage of housing. If there is a housing shortage, it is due to private companies not wanting to build in this economic environment, or governments (local/state/federal) that are making it difficult/expensive e.g. through excessive regulation or land development requirements etc.
