Fasting
Fasting for one day is not physically or mentally unbearable or unendurable, and doesn't cause major health problems for most people, which is why most major religions include fasting as part of their seasonal duties.
The guy/girl was feeling weak after one day of fasting. Fasting for one day is not unbearable, just about anybody, if not anybody can do it. Some people would be glad if fasting was something they did by choice instead of because they have nothing to eat.

Teacher student complex
Someone having a teacher student complex doesn't make their opponents teachers, any more than having a David Goliath complex makes every one of the person with the complex's opponents Goliaths.

Excess
Too much.
A city doesn't need to be like any other city. If people want to gamble, they go to Vegas, they don't need a casino in every other city like Detroit or Kansas City, there's already enough casinos to go around. Charleston doesn't need to try to be Vegas and Vegas doesn't need to try to be Charleston. Atlanta doesn't need to try to become New York or Chicago. Nashville doesn't doesn't need to try and become Atlanta. A city that is content to be what it is, but not to stagnate or fall asleep should be enough, though you know some people are always going to expect things to expand and be done to excess.

Vaccine hoarding
Vaccine hoarding is a lot like toilet paper hoarding when the pandemic started, it's silliness. There's enough vaccines to go around for the rest of the world to the people that want to get one just like there was enough toilet paper to go around for everybody at the start of the pandemic, then a few people hoarded the supply and tried to sell it for outrageous prices on ebay. The vaccine hoarding is really about power and control, not about protecting a population.
It helps no one to vaccinate everyone in one country while no one from another country has been vaccinated, since all you are really giving people is a placebo and a false sense of hope/morale boost when they get a shot in their arm. The virus is everywhere, not just in the countries that got the most vaccines, so vaccine hoarding won't really do anybody any good. The countries that got excessive amounts of vaccines they don't need might as well get rid of their vaccines if they are not going to give them to countries that could use them.
