“Every year, 90% of the nearly $5 trillion the United States spends on healthcare goes toward treating people with chronic conditions. And of the roughly 73 million children under age 18 in the United States, the CDC reports that over 40% have at least one chronic health condition, while more than 350,000 American children have been diagnosed with diabetes.”
Quoting yourself won’t help your efforts. :lol:

Of course nutrition pays a huge roll in healthcare spending. And not just for those in SNAP. Try being on a restrictive diet for the rest of your life depends like I have to. We are killing ourselves with sodium and sugar content, additives and preservatives, booze, red meat, etc. It’s a nationwide epidemic. And not just for those on snap.

I’m all for nutrition requirements/restrictions within SNAP. We just need to make healthy food available (within walking distance) for all residential areas.
I would say your post is encouraging, but you’ll fall off the common sense wagon on your next post :lol:

I really like getting chips and Twinkies off the SNAP menu

Thank you Republicans

Toyota Chairman: EVs Will Cap At 30% Of Market, 'Engines Will Surely Remain'

…. Former Toyota CEO and current Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda has long been a proponent of a mixed-fuel future—hybrids, gas engines, hopefully hydrogen eventually, and more. While the automaker now says it's betting big on EVs, it hasn't always been that way. Now, Toyoda says that he believes EVs will soon begin to hit an unofficial market share cap across the globe.

According to Toyoda, that magic number is 30%. He claims that EVs will be capped, unofficially of course, at around 30% of all new vehicle sales. The rest of the market will be satisfied by hybrids, hydrogen fuel cells, and traditional combustion engines. “Engines will surely remain,” Toyoda was quoted as saying in the automaker's internal publication, according to Bloomberg. And as the news wire notes, it's unclear if he meant cars currently on the road, or always and forever.

It's not clear where Toyoda gets this figure, or if he has a certain date in mind for this cap to happen. However, Toyota CEO Koji Sato has previously said that the automaker expects to sell 1.5 million EVs annually by 2026, and 3.5 million by 2030—the latter would be just around 30% when compared with 2022's global sales volume.

Last year, EVs accounted for around 18% of all new vehicle sales globally. That number is only expected to grow...

So you're saying elon is an idiot. :D
Yes the world is moving to EVs. So Elon is correct.
Did Elon say we’re going to be 100% EVs?

According to Google AI
In January 2026, electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for approximately 5.1% of new vehicle registrations in the U.S., a decline from 8.3% in January 2025. This drop is largely attributed to the expiration of federal tax incentives and decreased consumer interest in EVs.
So it’s certainly reasonable that in the coming decades the worldwide avg of EV cars on the road could top out at 30%, with the rest a mix of hybrid, hydrogen cell, and gas, as the Toyota CEO indicated.

So they both could be right.

Meanwhile, Emmy-Award winning producer and columnist Daniella Greenbaum Davis made her own post, asking the New York City mayor whether he had also visited the victims of the inmates he was meeting with

“Visiting people in jail is admirable but just wondering if you've also visited their victims / the families of their victims?" she questioned. "Seems like there is a bizarre progressive determination to invert victimization I can't quite understand."
