@Geiir@FinanceLancelot@WatcherGuru remember how everybody is mad bc he wants to fire a ton of the federal workforce? I think that's the plan to reduce the budget.
@FinanceLancelot@WatcherGuru A voluntary tax one can easily bypass by buying American-made, from economically friendly nations, or buying less, period.
Vs an involuntary tax just for exercising a basic god-given right.
@jonbrooks@FinanceLancelot@WatcherGuru that one can easily bypass by buying American or from countries that play nice economically with the US... so a voluntary national sales tax, but neutered.
@stkirsch So: If you don't do exactly what we tell you to... our relationship is deteriorated...
How could a group of people charged with caring for other people, who were all likely born before 1985 in a mostly liberal worldview, intentionally document such a machiavellian statement?
@StowawayPenguin@BGatesIsaPyscho@ManuTercio Ok great, that explains how it may have gone down. But when the bat, in motion toward the surface, impacts the surface, what happens in the absence of gravity?

B) it bounces off and does not stick to the surface
@TomahawkVPhD@JamieAA_Again Isolation, characterization, pathogenicity and replication of a specific clinical illness in naive hosts all need to be established at the same time to claim that a new pathogen exists, in a series of experiments done in short succession. There's no other logical way to do it.
@stkirsch@JamieAA_Again I'm pretty sure if you captured let's say a dozen pictures of the same 5 acres of land over several lifespans, you'd have enough "data" to tell a hundred versions of what happened that aren't even close to true.

Acts 5:42: Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah. (NIV)
Thus the persecution and death threats:
@Debunk_the_Funk@AnacottS86@AaronSiriSG 2/2 Combine that with a <1% CFR and you end up with a really precarious situation for those that tried to mandate a medical intervention that had no community benefit.
I'd hate to be on the losing side of this one.
@Debunk_the_Funk@AnacottS86@AaronSiriSG 1/2 Well, if its the disease that's the important factor then all the phase 3 trials for Pfizer and Moderna did was show how unlikely it was to even get the disease.
<4/1000 chance in a 6 month time period when pretty much no one was supposed to have immunity...
@newstart_2024 Unbelievable! -- When a top level exec or leader fails this big and this much, they don't keep their job. I think one of the most important questions that can be asked right now is: How has this guy kept his job?
