Actually the 100 families that "control" the world do so because they are obscenely wealthy due to inherited wealth and familial connections. Some of them just happen to be Jewish, so there's no point in focussing on that fact.

Look through this list and find how many of them have Jewish heritage.

You're 41. No one is stopping you from buying and eating gummy snacks.

Sorry, I wasn't explaining myself well.

Just because a story isn't factually true, doesn't mean that it has no value, or negative value. There are other types of values which can supersede factual value:

  • aesthetic
  • symbolic
  • ethical
  • didactic

Truth isn't always about facts. Sometimes factual statements can be used as a weapon of deceit.

If a narrative is not literally true, does that mean it has no truth value?

“apple” used to be a generic term for fruit.

Oh, that explains the myth that Adam and Eve at an apple, when a specific fruit is never mentioned.

Maybe it wasn't about the houses, maybe it was about the class divide that we made along the way.

It was the "no meetings before 2pm" and "3 hours of no distraction" that gave it away for me.

Not old, it's called being emotionally mature (may depend on how you are processing it).

I see economists complaining about variations of this policy being bad, e.g. leading to food desserts.

Sounds delicious. Let us eat cake.
