I've been brewing home-ade split pea soup all day.

I am just bored. What is everyone up to?

I was prescribed naltrexone to help with a wine problem I developed following a horrific divorce. I stopped taking it after a few days because it wasn't really helping with wine, it was blocking my appetite. I am not underweight and honestly have a good ten lbs to lose, but going days without eating could get dangerous. Well, my provider prescribed the naltrexone injection and I declined due to this, but am wondering, I really do want to lose that ten lbs. Is it too dangerous?

I know what is going to happen after putting forward this post- a lot of emotional people who honestly are quite obvi losing dopamine when they age (the concept of a grumpy old man makes SENSE to me now) so if you have anything negative to say about my opinion if it may be different from yours stfu. I understand how this area could be a sort of heaven for some people, but this area has a lot of problems that are not being addressed, and people getting mad about complaints instead of trying to better this area are actually causing a lot of problems. The most important thing when it comes to an inventor, a politician, a business owner, etc is to understand problems and take it to a pragmatic solution. I don't plan on staying in this area, so anyone who gets their panties in a bunch for this post, don't bother telling me the most pragmatic solution would be for me to leave, because I am aware.

But this county has a lot of potential. It has the potential to be one of those areas people feel nostalgia for for life. I wanted to bring up issues because of THAT. Not because i want to sit on my ass and complain. And i am curious as to anyone else's perspective.

To reiterate, I am not hating on this county, I am bringing up concerns because of the county's POTENTIAL and I want to hear other people's thoughts (please do not assault me subjectively for an opinion, this is an objective comment)

Healthcare. Kind of a weird issue. This area has like the best climate on the planet but doctors keep leaving. The central coast is honestly better than insurance than anywhere I have lived, which actually makes me feel like healthcare should be socialized entirely. Which brings me to the next issue.

Cost of living versus salaries. I have lived in many parts of the country and there are a lot of really intelligent people here. The cost of living is comparable to what you see in the most expensive city in America with a salary at the quarter of that.

Transportation- it is difficult, I think especially for Cal Poly students as well if you do not drive. But there are so many unemployed people here who do, why is this system not more streamlined? Is it because of the ideology of bringing in robocars, etc would take aware from the old fashioned mentality of this county?

The PD. Don't even make go there. I feel like they men get everything and target women for nothing. The Smart case was not solved IMHO due to how it was handled.

Any thoughts? Again, don't hate on me for having an opinion. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful areas of the world, with the best weather. But that doesn't mean people should not continue to try and perfect it.
