Google just informed me that “Consumers spend an estimated $382 billion on cosmetics each year. Skincare products alone will represent a $135 billion market by 2021.” Wow. All that money? Spent just to keep us looking younger? Seems to me that looking younger must be a pretty important goal here in America, right?
PS: Speaking of old age, I just got back from spending four glorious days in the magnificent Sierra Nevadas — one of the highest mountain ranges on the planet. And what did I learn? That these monumental megalithic grand escarpments, higher than any imaginable man-made construct on earth, will be doing just fine in another four billion years from now, long after our current corporate war-mongering technocratic propagandized trans-human artificially-intelligent screwed-up locked-down surveillance states have long been forgotten.
PPS: There are 1,671,329 residents in Alameda County where my home in Berkeley is located. Newly-revised-downward figures just issued by county authorities state that only 1,223 of us died from You-Know-What in all of 2020. That’s only a 0.07% death rate. On the other hand, 3,092 of us died from diabetes in Alameda County — yet we never locked down McDonalds or CocaCola. What’s with that?
When I told a nurse friend of mine what I had just learned about the 0.07% death rate, “That’s wonderful news!” she gushed enthusiastically. But then I realized that she thought I mean it was 0.07% after over 50% of county residents had received an experimental injection. Er, no.
