Children are precious, and no one has a more vested interest in the educational success of a child than the child's parents (unless the parents are psychos). Sending your child to school is handing them over to strangers who collect a paycheck. There are some really great teachers out there, but there's also a lot of shitty people who became teachers.

shall not be infringed

It's infringed all over the place with gun-free zones, limits on what can be bought & sold, etc.

We need to return to the original meaning of the words as-written.

"Vegan" is a made up leftist term so they can virtue signal to others about who loves animals more while at the same time they destroy their own health.

I have a special affinity for yeast, since yeast make beer, and I am BeerMan.

Peace to you, friend.

nutritional yeast (still an animal product if you think about it... bacteria are a "creature")

Hey friend, yeast are not bacteria. They are fungi. Fungi are also different from animals.

The S&P500 is basically the largest 500 public companies in the USA, and the S&P500 index is a weighted average of those companies. The advantage of being in the index is that a lot of mutual funds track the index, and they only buy stock in companies that are in the index. So when a company gets added, there's usually a huge cash flow into that company's stock, and the price rises. Likewise, when a company is removed, there's a huge cash flow out of that company's stock and the price falls.

That being said, OP was not clear. Tesla is removed from the S&P500 ESG index which is an index of woke companies. This index is not as popular, and as such, the effects of being removed are much less.

Not of starvation

No one is arguing against breast milk. It's the best for baby. No one is arguing against educating women about the benefits of breast milk.

Some women just can't due to their circumstances. Either their own health prevents them from being able to breastfeed, baby's health prevents nursing, and/or the family financial situation. Paying for human breast milk is going to be way more expensive than formula.

Before formula existed, the option for these mothers was to let baby starve and die.

and im not talking about the rare few that can't produce

Thank you for including this. There's a lot of hate out there recently for women who just couldn't breastfeed and needed to supplement.

Infant mortality rate is much lower now than in years past. But many babies are born premature and unable to nurse, because they're too small and weak. Decades ago these babies would just die. Now they can survive and thrive, and part of that is formula.

Part of it is that neonatal medicine has advanced. Babies that would die before reaching full term can now survive and thrive in NICU. But a premature baby often cannot nurse on his own, because he's too small and weak. In that instance formula saves his life.

I'm sure that happens, but there are also a lot of women who had to undergo caesarean and/or have premature NICU babies. A premature baby often doesn't have a mouth large enough to breastfeed and they often don't have the baby-fat to go a prolonged period of time without nursing. In that situation, mom has to pump which is no substitute for an infant, and often milk supply dries up. What should she do then? Let baby starve to death? Hire a wet nurse? Formula is often the answer, and it's often a very emotionally difficult decision for a woman to come to terms that she is unable to breastfeed.

There's a lot of women who cannot breastfeed due to no fault of their own. It's insensitive to assume women are using formula because they're lazy.

If cows were not used as a source of food, there'd be a lot fewer cows.

This is also the only reason the global chicken population is greater in number than the global human population.
