Pretty sure I have seen this truck on 35 heading south through Austin.

Looks like my truck when my wife packs for an overnight trip.

I think there was several crack heads in that crowd, like the guy with the magic flute, for one.

Think everyone in that crowd is a crack head.

Human “ingenuity”
I guess if you can afford ten bungee wraps but can’t afford a trailer, this is what happens.

Except it needs to be towing 2 other vehicles...

You are correct, sir.

When I was in high school, I came across a University research paper that ran from the '60s to the '80s. They took 10,000 people and followed them through life. Half watched their weight, diet, exercise etc. the other just lived. The health conscientious had a lower life expectancy by about 6 years. They actually were MUCH more likely to die in various accidents at a younger age than those who just lived; and eventually died from health related issues.
That report is out there somewhere but I have not been able to find it in over 25 years.....

Thought the same thing. I am sure they also give out other fake denomination coins for the lesson. Giving elementary age kids real coin money and expecting to get it all back may be a challenge.

The meme at first glance seems funny but once you apply some more critical thinking, not so much.

I figured it was just an early set up to devalue our currency.

One can look at a study like that a couple of different ways. The risk takers were always more than likely going to be the more active people anyways. Healthy Lifestyle and active people in their teens and 20's will also usually show previously misdiagnosed or missed genetic health defect and succumb to them quicker were as the other group would age a bit further with the same conditions.

It would be interesting to see what that data would show once people aged into their 30's and further? I think the healthier lifestyle crowd would then show better life expectancy numbers overall.
