then it developed some poses like basically sitting, standing, etc. Still meditation focused. Then YMCA introduces static stretching from swedish gymnastics and India attempts to incorporate it into a fitness program with their national characteristics so they merge in the meditation/yoga part

then it migrates almost directly to California and white girls

All the classic poses can be seen in the original gymnastics texts though

That's really interesting I had no idea

Japan has this thing where students do stretches before class. I think every higher functioning society sees the benefits of such exercises.

Physical and mental

fit school kids would hurt the stock market

are you trying to ruin our economy?

N-no....

how are we going to raise the next generation of soda addicts?

pepsi-cola is the backbone of our great nation

Marketing! 😂

Sounds like preventative medicine, now how am I supposed to make that into insurance premiums and subsidies?

Offer it as a program thru hospitals, billable via insurance

Wine and dine doctors with the express purpose of influencing them to "prescribe" the exercise program

Lmao a committee designing things, that always goes well.

They want us sick and dumb

They want us dead and they think it’s funny

We wont let that happen.

does anyone know a good Summer job when you're in college and don't have any useful skills yet?

Not Summer job but UPS driver helper is a fun end-of-year seasonal job, lots of exercise and overtime

@Jacob to be honest I've heard Amazon isn't a bad gig and they hire part time

to do what?

@wolfwood I'm an abysmal driver

@Jacob concierge. Client facing Customer service

@Jacob Mowin'

You ride in the passenger seat, and help the driver deliver packages for the Christmas season

like sitting at a front desk? that sounds decent @VinceChaos

Sell yourself to future employers that you’re a problem solver @Jacob

People get you to solve weird problems

Pretty sure that’s what my sister is doing this summer

I could use a problem solver in my life right now 😂

We should have an intern for IE

Half joking

@Jacob you’re studying to be a programmer right? Wouldn’t be surprised if you could get an intern programmer position

ya that's my problem right now

I probably don't have enough computer science coursework for an internship

I'll talk to the advisors at my school but I doubt I have enough

@Jacob Work at some sort of county/state park. Plenty of good summer jobs there, that’s what I did last year

If you want to understand why our economy is based on retarded premise just visit your nearest drug store. Half the store is dedicated to selling sugar and alchohol. The other half is dedicated to selling you medicine.

If we doubled our sugar consumption and doubled our medical treatment. This would constitute an increase in the GDP
