that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

@road:

Having a convention doesn't mean anyone can introduce anything. There would be a few amendments up for consideration. If California, for example, wanted to introduce an amendment to remove the 2nd, they can be told to pound sand. It doesn't work like legislation now (where it's a package deal and to get new limiting amendments, lefty ones have to come with it). And each proposed amendment goes to the states separately for ratification.

Are You Concerned About Inflation?

by Simon in

i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

20 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses

by Vanderhoven7 in

i don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.

that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.

unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

JW lives have been endangered and lost due to medical prohibitions (vaccinations...

Well now, they sure reversed course on this one, eh?

The day the music died.

by Fisherman in

is there any new music or singers whatsoever nowadays or just junk?

and how about movies, besides documentaries is there anything at all, any movie at all, any new actor at all that that has any real worth to watch and enjoy or is it all a boring waste of time.

.

@Fisherman:

Yeah, movies too. The default, for me, is 'not good'. For pop music, the default is 'crap'. Movie and music studios aren't looking for great sounds and great stories. They have corporate formulas.

Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?

by PimoElder in

it’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .

if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.

but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

MeanMrMustard

I got 2 shots and the booster. Couple months later I sprained my wrist. That hadn't happened before. I had a relative who took the shots and a little over a year later died of some sort of 'blockage'. She was only 92!

That's the point of VAERS, and others like it. If you look on the homepage of VAERS, it says this:

VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine.

So, correlation doesn't mean causation. Right. So if a 40 year old man takes the vaccine, and dies a few days later, it could be caused by the vaccine. But if the man was overweight, ate cheeseburgers for the last 20 years, smoked, didn't exercise, etc., then probably his death was caused by other things. But when other reports pour in, all 40 year old men, the probability it's bad diet gets smaller and the probability the vaccine is a causal factor increases.

That's what we are talking about here. Patterns. Patterns are valid signals. All my kids got COVID. My in-laws, deep in the WT paranoia, were audibly shaken. It's as if they were given dire news - maybe they could die!! All of their grandkids were sick, with a potential death sentence.

What's the pattern for kids? They get sick, they get better. There is more risk from the flu than COVID, for kids. From the CDC itself, a child has a higher probability of dying in a car accident within the year, than from COVID. So do we freak out each time we drive our kids somewhere? It's clear that COVID has screwed with people's evaluation of risk.

It's not too different for healthy adults. We know who might be more at risk.

People are viewing patterns of risk from places like VAERS, along with patterns of risk from contracting the virus and coming to the conclusion that a lot of people are overreacting.

And the idea that we shut down the economy was, and always is, a bad decision.

Privilege

by Anna Marina in

psychology professor at southeastern louisiana university speaks about privilege.. https://www.bitchute.com/video/n2jcfbbcxtdf/.

i get the impression she has not met those who are 'genuinely privileged'.

you know like those who are privileged to change the toilet rolls.

This lady (or... maybe not??) is nuts. The question boils down to "how are you not exactly the same as everyone else?"

Pop music these days seems like crap. Just the same chords, autotuned, formulaic, no variety or talent needed. If you were to require all current "artists" to produce their next album with the following stipulations: 1) no synthetic drum beats, especially that fucking ticking high hat sound, 2) no autotune, sing your own song, 3) write your own song, 4) and you must actually play an instrument.

Just those four thing would clear the field, except for maybe 2 artists?
