On Mr. Beast's burger joints, I enjoyed this longer video on the whole ghost kitchen phenomenon a few weeks back:

Mr. Beast serves as the launching point.

A couple of corrections: pregnancy/maternity is not a "not kill you" event, around 21 per 100k births results in the mother dying in the US (if not for modern medicine and having insurance, my wife would have been one of those); and the FDA had already approved non-prescription usage of Mifeprex (e.g. you'd say "should not have approved" as opposed to "should not approve").

Addendum: the US's maternal mortality rate sucks compared to other developed countries (under 9 per 100k elsewhere). In 2021, the maternal mortality rate was 32.9 per 100k. It's worse for non-Hispanic Black women, at 69.9 per 100k.
