- Make America Healthy Again - 

 

The "Make America Healthy Again" movement is a campaign aimed at improving public health in the US by addressing the root causes of preventable diseases and promoting healthier lifestyles. This movement often highlights issues such as obesity, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, big Pharma, and the rise of chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease, as well as conditions like autism. It's advocates, notably, Bobby Kennedy jr,, argue that a healthier population can lead to reduce healthcare costs, increased productivity, and a stronger American population/society.

But of course, there are people and groups who don't like where this campaign is heading, believing that they (the supporters of the campaign) are just crazy antivaxxers.

 

So, with the Trump government coming in a promising to make America healthy again, what could possibly happen? What could the American government do to lower obesity, reduce chronic illnesses, remove the power of big pharma and big ag (agricultural industries that lobby the government)?

American food is unbelievably full of filler ingredients, things that are just completely unnecessary that many are claiming are causing various health problems.

Should the government being doing something about it? And if so, why is the outgoing Biden government seemingly NOT doing anything about it?

- Are private schools good or bad? - 

 

Private schools are funded independently from government institutions. This usually means that students' families have to pay a lot of money to enter, and they have strict rules and higher standards. The class sizes are smaller, meaning students get more personal education, and they have better resources (better computers, software, curriculum, more highly trained teachers, etc). 
Some argue that private schools offer higher quality education for those that can afford it, taking the burden off the taxpayer, and allowing those children to improve, instead of being stuck with potentially lesser intelligent groups, But others see them as a form of unearned privilege, where rich families keep their families rich, because going to a private school gives them easy access to certain universities and therefore certain companies, where they can get a high salary and be able to send their children to private schools, and so on.

 

Do private schools provide better opportunities, and if so, is it fair that poor families don't have access to them? Should education be the same for everyone, regardless of the financial situation? Is it fair or right to make rich families have less education so that everyone has an equal chance?

- Does population decline actually matter? - 

 

 

There has been much talk about population decline throughout the world. In virtually all high income economies there has been a trend of population decline. Even in the US, the population only continues to grow due to immigration. There has been many explanations proposed to be the reason for this phenomenon, and the ultimate way to correct it.

 

However, there is little discussion on whether population decline is a problem in an of itself. In the past, over-population was the main fear. Historically the human population was under 2 billion, so even an 80% decrease would only return the population back to historic levels. Could there be some benefits to having a lower human population? How can the economy and the public services cope with population decline? How will population decline influence other aspects of society?
