It is OTC for everyone, just not the human form.

@PressSec Make ivermectin OTC. 5 states have passed legislation making it available without a prescription. 19 states are working on legislation. FDA needs to make it OTC for everyone.

An ounce of silver is now worth more than a barrel of oil😳

That has only happened once before, for a brief moment in the late 1970s

Today's Unpopular Opinion:

People who react to a murder with happiness have the right to do so. Unless comments directly cause violence, our freedom hinges upon tolerating even abhorrent, repulsive speech.

Cancel culture, from left or right, is a grave threat to our liberty.

Award-winning journalist Alex Newman delivers a PERFECT 90 second summary of the climate scam:

"The notion that CO2 is pollution is absolutely preposterous... The idea that [it's] going to destroy the planet or change the temperature of the Earth is totally ludicrous."

"But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO2 is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO2 emissions, including living, including dying, turning on a light switch."

"Every single aspect of your life, then, if we submit to the idea that CO2 is pollution, then comes under the regulatory control of the people who claim to be saving us from pollution."

Need to bring this up every day for those that don’t understand what’s going on yet

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

you don’t fix the declining birth rate with subsidies or financial incentives.

the “kids are too expensive” argument is a convenient cope. people claiming they can’t afford children are usually rationalizing deeper issues: they just don’t want them. having children is as expensive as you choose to make it, and for all of human history, people with far fewer resources managed to raise families.

the problem isn’t financial; it’s cultural.

we live in a society that has systematically psyopped and brainwashed people into believing children are a burden, not a blessing. women are told that motherhood is a sacrifice and a hindrance to their career, as if chasing corporate promotions or vanity metrics is more meaningful than creating life.
men are infantilized and taught to fear responsibility. worst of all, we’ve cultivated a nihilistic worldview that makes people see no point in building a future.

the solution starts with changing the culture.

we need to instill pride in people: pride in their ancestry, their legacy, and the future they could create. optimism about what’s to come has to replace the relentless doomscrolling of modernity.
kids aren’t just an "expense"; they’re the greatest investment a human can make, and we need to start celebrating that.

in the short term, the most realistic strategy is doubling down on those who already value family. focus on motivating families with 2-3 kids to have one or two more.
it's much easier to expand a family than to convince couples to start from scratch when they've been ideologically poisoned against the idea.

finally, we need to stop glorifying the miserable, atomized single life and the media narratives that turn parenthood into a joke or tragedy.
yes, parenting is hard, but everything worth doing is.
the joy and purpose it gives far outweigh the sacrifices. once we get that cultural shift rolling, the financial complaints will fade away like the convenient excuses they always were

@LorenDempster @KINGS1973 Cutout value? Long way to go. In 2020, choice topped $450. Last year's peak was over $340. Currently $322

[Pete Loewen @PeteLoewen]

@agtradertalk @BrightonCap Yeah, but can they now get paid to "sequester" it?

[Amanda Radke @RadkeAmanda]

The public is not buying this grift. Carbon is plant food. C02 pipelines are a scam that enrich very few to produce nothing while fleecing American tax payers. This is a pathway to death and starvation through the Green New Deal & the comments on this original post seem to agree.
