>It’s not possible to prove a negative. _Of course_ it's possible to prove a negative. Why do people insist on repeating this as if it's actually true?

I completely understand and agree with your frustration. The blame is not only the people who deride the value of trigger warnings, but also on the Left, which has this horrible tendency to take good ideas and apply them to every situation

Why are you trying to shut down reasonable criticism with a straw man? I haven't seen anyone advocate for any specific actions.

You're right but I also wouldn't be at all surprised if there were a feedback loop between eating junk food and feeling various kinds of bad. I usually feel my best physically eating mostly fruits and vegetables.

Off the top of my head, this would better deal with situational differences between workers such as someone with no dependents versus someone with 5. It's a novel idea and doesn't have the baggage of minimum wage increases, nor wo

It never ceases to amaze me the extent to which a humanity's response to new life is either: "Can I eat it?" or "How do I kill it?".

No, especially since such a huge percentage of US prisoners are non-violent offenders. What would make me feel better is if we made serious efforts at rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.
