I keep thinking we need monero insurance (life, health, auto, etc) where premiums are paid in monero and benifits are only paid out in monero. What services do you think we need?

Insurance is a scam. You are better off saving and investing 50-80% of your earnings and you will be OK no matter what comes up. Plus you will be able to retire early.

Yes, but that also assumes that most people are smart enough to do that. Have you seen the way some people financially plan? Most people could not afford, say, cancer treatment by themselves, no matter what.

Yes, it does take some effort on your part if you wish to be come independent and prepared.

As for cancer, it can be easily prevented as it is a disease caused by deficiency in an essential compound (vitamin B-17) which most people do not ingest. More info: https://monero.town/post/1263720

Just like the disease scurvy was just a simple deficiency in vitamin C but the experts were baffled for hundreds of years even though the solution was already known by many people.

Not sure the link you sent works on my app, but after doing a quick search, Vitamin B-17 has been banned by the FDA and is even regarded as dangerous.

FDA also approved poison injections a couple years ago, so.... The FDA is there to protect big pharma profits, no cancer, no profits, simple.

FDA approved drugs cause millions of deaths yearly, why not banned yet?

Phew, financial advice from someone who believes cancer is "easily preventable"

Thank goodness I was kicked in the head by a horse this morning

and this is why you are a worker and I am an owner.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am an owner, idiot-boy 😂

Don't forget to punch in tomorrow, clown.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Bear in mind there's only one country where they still do that

Are you taking these B-17 supplements daily? I'm just as much as a cynical person as the next guy, especially when it would comes to the pharmaceutical industry, but since cancer affects all life on earth, I think there is some nuance to it. The cynicism in me says that this B-17 vitamin is being pushed by 'big supplement', the other side of the coin trying to sell products to consumers and corralling vitriol for modern medicine.

'Natural' and Modern medicine can coexist, they both can work and you can also trust neither. As a recipient of the 'poison injection' you are talking about, I am feeling fine so far.

[–] tusker@monero.town 0 points 2 years ago

No, I do not take B17, my diet contains food that has it. A high quality source is available here: https://rncstore.com for anyone that is looking.

Modern medicine is useful if you have an injury and need emergency care. For degenerative diseases all it can offer is symptom control at the expense of toxifying your body and most likely triggering more serious illness later in life.

Not all people who have been injected with the juice will suffer, there are many factors involved. The point is that the injections were 100% useless and most likely harmful.
