I’d also recommend something like my “Splay” shoes if you’re going to try it. They’re barefoot shoes that also have a wide toebox so that your shoes fit your toes instead of your toes fitting your shoes!

Before I switched to the wide toebox I also used boating shoes if you find some of those cheaper.

Things like converse are of course more mainstream, but at least have the “zero drop” aspect, so you’re closer to the ground but don’t quite feel the ground.

Everyone will say barefoot is bad for your knees, but that’s really only true if you’re running or jogging on concrete without letting your body adjust.

My feet used to ACHE at the end of the day, now they can still hurt sure, but it feels much more like a tired muscle instead of incorrect exercise if that makes sense.

Yeah I’m only working till I get an inheritance from a mysterious relative. It is short term!

Working… Slow 🥺

That’s really more a bar on state religion, that again doesn’t really prevent our new speaker from say proposing a bill that donates Federal funds to his favorite church, so long as the government isn’t in control of said church.

None of that says that church and state must be separate, just that there can be no religious test. There’s nothing in there barring him from saying “I think God blesses the people here”

In fact, to really be edgy, that also doesn’t prevent the government from say donating $10B each year to some Christian church.

To your second point, I never suggested that the Constitution says we should base our laws around the Bible.

My only point is the oft quoted Separation of church and state is only an idea from the Jefferson papers. If you want to make sure church and state remain separate, and the new speaker doesn’t start using federal funds for his church, perhaps it’s time to actually put separation into the Constitution?

Ok, show me where it says that then

Do you have sources for this claim?
