@caitoz Yea, but what they do have is tons of chutzpah and no impulse to tell the truth, ever.

In 1946 the British government introduced free school milk for every child in the country. One third of a pint, every school day, from the age of five to the age of fifteen.
The milk was whole. Full-fat. From British dairy herds. It was delivered to the school gate in small glass bottles with foil caps and left on the doorstep in metal crates, where it sat in the sun until morning break if the weather was warm and developed a slightly suspect taste that an entire generation of British adults can still describe with uncomfortable precision.
The generation that grew up on school milk was, by every anthropometric measure, the healthiest generation of British children ever recorded.
Average height increased. Bone density improved. Dental health, despite the sugar in everything else, improved. Iron deficiency rates among school-age children dropped. The growth charts that the Ministry of Health had been keeping since the war showed a consistent, measurable, year-on-year improvement that tracked precisely onto the introduction of the milk programme.
In 1971 Margaret Thatcher, then Education Secretary, cut free school milk for children over seven. The tabloids called her Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. She was vilified. She kept the policy.
The next generation of British children, the ones who grew up without the daily third of a pint, were measurably less healthy than the one before.
The growth charts show it. The dental records show it. The conscription medicals, while they lasted, showed it. The thing the milk had been providing, the calcium, the vitamin D, the vitamin A, the complete amino acid profile, the conjugated linoleic acid, the fat-soluble nutrients that a growing skeleton requires in order to reach its genetic potential, was no longer arriving at morning break in a glass bottle with a foil cap.
It was replaced, eventually, by nothing. Or by a carton of fruit juice. Or by a packet of crisps from the vending machine that appeared in the school corridor in the 1990s.
The generation that drank the milk is now in its seventies and eighties. They are, on average, taller, stronger-boned, and longer-lived than the generation that came after them.
The milk was not magic.
The milk was milk.
It was the thing the body needed, delivered at the time the body needed it, at a cost the government considered acceptable until it didn't.
The cost of not providing it has been rather higher.

Please spread the idea. It seems to work quite well... An animal shelter posted something along the lines of, "If you are an adult, we will rent our shelter dogs to you for $5 an hour...
So it looks like you are walking your own dog. " Haha, right?
Here are some of the results so far:
1) They now have a waiting list of people who want to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF WALKING A DOG.
2) They have made so much money in "rental fees" that they have waived adoption fees.
3) When the people renting the dogs are out walking, they post selfies of themselves walking "their" dog on FB, Instagram, dating sites and the others.
People are then coming back to the shelter asking to adopt the specific dogs they've already gotten to know.
4) On at least two occasions, people have called the shelter and said, "Hey, i didn't think I even wanted a dog. But me and THIS dog get along REALLY well. I'm not bringing him back."
5) This particular shelter currently has no dogs available to rent, and there is a waiting list. Because all of the dogs have been adopted!!
They are currently bringing dogs in from a different shelter to be "rented."
A good idea to recharge from 2016

@MbarkCherguia Damn, just gave me flashbacks to when I was a child I'd watch my alcoholic mother would do this shit.
I fully expected her to faceplate onto that burner and had have that burner spiral on her face forever.

@Cloud1a7 Women, stay the fuck out of the way when the man is dealing with business!

@MakeCathedrals Well stated Anon.
Glad to have you in our company.

Je m'appelle Anon, j'ai 38 ans, et je suis raciste.
Pas au sens d'un quelconque suprémacisme, ou d'une bête hiérarchisation.
Simplement, j'accepte désormais d'admettre qu'il existe des groupes humains différents. Par la culture, mais aussi par le sang, la génétique. Nous sommes tous différents, fruits de l'adaptation de nos ancêtres à leur environnement.
Je le suis devenu progressivement. Au début, j'étais révulsé par la notion même, que j'associait instinctivement au mal, à un tabou majeur. J'ai été eduqué ainsi. Puis, je me suis autorisé à penser, à constater, à réfléchir sur la question sans me limiter.
Je pense sincèrement que la diversité raciale humaine est une richesse, et qu'il faut la préserver. L'immigration de masse déracine, elle mélange, elle détruit la richesse de la diversité humaine. Elle modifie les equilibres entre les peuples et leur environnement, qui ont mit des millénaires à se stabiliser. Les peuples sont plus heureux lorsqu'ils sont en paix, entre eux, sur leur terre d'origine. Les mélanges sont intéressants à dose homéopathique lorsqu'ils sont consentis, mais s'avèrent désastreux autrement.
J'espère pouvoir discuter ici de ce sujet de manière posée et ouverte.
