Whenever the topic of obesity/large size gets brought up, all of the comments swarm around the fear of someone having an eating disorder because of their self image.

Per statistics, 74% of Americans are overweight and 42% are obese. So why do people hyper fixate on the minute amount of people who might end up with anorexia when the VAST majority of health damage from eating is coming from the overweight and obese folks.

To me it seems much more concerning to justify and coddle 74% of the population who is overweight. Even if 1 in 10 got an eating disorder, 7 in 10 would still have better health outcomes because 7 of those 10 were actually overweight to begin with.

TL;DR why is Reddit so scared about eating disorders but doesn't seem to mind the fact that 74% of people are overweight and 42% are obese.

I've seen a big mix of discussion around biking infrastructure. Some places are truly death traps barren of any infrastructure and with psycho drivers.

Other areas in North America actually have dedicated lanes and paths.

How is it where you live?

Also check out r/notnotjustbikes he covers a lot of these topics over there. The recent video on London biking and Texas biking was eye opening.

The cap to hit max CPP and finally stop paying the payroll tax is currently at 85,000 of gross income.

That's well above the median income based on the data by 15 to 20K.

So are most Canadians stuck just seeing every pay cheque docked CPP? The cap seems so unreasonable given the median incomes.

It's supposed to help people who wouldn't save otherwise. If you're bringing in 20K over median income I think you can be responsible for yourself. This is a drain on people who would otherwise invest it themselves.

Hi there. There's a available subreddit name I want to use for my own personal subreddit.

Can I create this sub and then make myself the only poster? Basically I want to use it as my own personal soapbox.

The amount of money held in Welathsimple by 25-35 year olds is suprisingly high. But after realizing that the average FIRST TIME home buyer is 40 in Canada. It starts to make more sense.

I guess if they haven't had to blow 150K in a downpayment, they WOULD have a lot in wealthsimple.

Do you think there's a cliff somewhere in the mid to late 30s where all the downpayment cash falls out of the account? Would be cool to see a graph of average value by age in wealthsimple.

Increasing your payment amount permanently increases how much you need to pay each month for the life of your mortgage. You obviously save interest but you're stuck paying that new amount for the rest of the mortgage.

Why not just use a double up payment of an equivalent amount? You can change it whenever you want (up or down) and you're not locked in.

Seriously, everywhere I look I see the guy getting attacked. And I'll be honest I didn't vote for him myself and I have plenty of issues with his policies and crony-ism.

But at the same time you have people blaming him for literally everything going on in the province. Doesn't matter if it's even tangentially related to him, whether it's a municipal or federal issue, they always find a way to blame him.

Why is the anti Ford sentiment so high? Was it like this when we had Wynne?
