Wrong, Vitamins and supplements are mostly unregulated and provide a HUGE profit for pharmaceutical. FAR more then most prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. Ye some drugs have huge sales, most do not, and take RnD into account it's even less.
Because he didn't know the cause? because starting to take something can make one think something is better when it is not, thus hiding a worse problem? Because getting an expert and informed advice is always better then you 'gut feel'?
"..he mineral stripped / highly fertilized environments that our food is grown in..." and then: " not exactly easy to get enough of all of the key vitamins " hmm Ignorant and deluded, but still charging forward with idiotic statements, well done.
Most american are well nourished. Meaning they get Vitamins and minerals through out there day with meals. Well nourished does snot mean the perfect meal.
The vast majority of Americans do not have a vitamin deficiency, this has born out over and over again.. Primarily due to fortified items.
"Extra vitamins don't help? Then whatever bad diets we all eat must be all hunky dory then..." no, they don't help, that doesn't also mean diets are bad. False comparison. Your body has no way to store 'extra vitamins'. You piss them away. If you are concerned, go to your doctor and get tested.
If you are one of the rare Americans that are deficient in some vitamin or mineral, then you can discuss a proper way to deal with it. Pills don't work well for most vitamins. Maybe you need an occasional shot? maybe a small change to your diet? Maybe taking a pill.
Multivitamins have had the side effect of making people think the body can absorb them all the seem way. That isn't true.
Long term use of multivitamin are showing adverse effects. All food that you buy prepared is fortified.
"I started on a daily multivitamin about a year ago, and have since generally felt better. " That's great, but so what? Going at simply talking to a doctor will also make you feel better even though it's not actually doing anything.
Amazon is an order fulfillment company that hire people to determine the best logistics. A logistic company is a company that determine the best way to move goods.

Race to the bottom is'nt about income, it's about how one lives. So, add extremely cheap education and health insurance onto their income. Plus a series of other benefits, suddenly it's the US at the bottom.
You link to household income as opposed to personal income. So, again your example is completely irrelevant regarding a 'race to the bottom'.
"... smacks of the we want to hurt you vibe.." Well, when the employers tries to ignore or stonewall the employees the rest of the year it's the only recourse employees have. Plus there is a lot of media focused on the economics this time of the year.
After winning the historical 1936 election by a landslide, President Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) into law in early 1938. The FLSA introduced sweeping regulations to protect American workers from being exploited, and created a mandatory federal minimum wage of 25 cents an hour in order to maintain a "minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general well-being, without substantially curtailing employment". This new law was welcomed as a godsend by the thousands of workers who were previously forced to work for a fraction of that amount, but was violently opposed by many employers and fiscal conservatives who argued that a minimum wage could hurt employers. In addition to establishing a mandatory nation-wide minimum wage the Fair Labor Standards Act introduced many other worker's protection laws still in effect today, including banning child labor and establishing workplace safety statutes.

"I assume the communist state of germany"
You should actually make an attempt to understand what Communism means and why it doesn't apply to Germany.
You sound like an jabbering idiot.
Robots will make communism the best form of government. Not to be confused with Leninism which is an abuse of Marx.

So no, not raped.
That right, when the first man tried to create flight, and failed, they just should have stopped.
IT depends on the parameter you are judging. Often they are objective.
Also, throwing you garbage out the window doesn't make you superior.
Comments from random people. on the internet! well that settles it.
Superior is based n a series of parameters.
For longevity, consistence, and shareability, mp3(Digital media) is superior.
If you want something that's not consistent, and want to talk like a hipster douche, then analog is better for those parameters.
