AFAIK, that number more accurately reflects the number of people who died within two weeks of testing positive using PCR tests at high Ct values (35-45), inflating case counts. 94-95% involved at least one comorbidity. Over 75% had at least

I'm referring to the medicine deployed against a pandemic whose death count is still entirely unknown. How many people died because of COVID? You don't know. No one knows. Meanwhile, everyone who knows better pretends that the m

Not sure when you graduated, but I've seen a complete inversion. Much like 90s rockers, they now rage exclusively on behalf of the machine.

I reject the premise for a number of reasons but many of them come down to how wildly subjective it is. What constitutes bullying behavior? Is there any context that would shift or nullify the label? How often must someone engage in this be

I reject the premise that people can be sorted into bullies and non-bullies. It's amusing/frustrating that such a premise is taken seriously.

Is that the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that revised their numbers down 818K, or 28% of original 2.9M jobs claimed to be added over the last year?

When you use phrases like "partisan politics" and "extremist", I assume you're talking about objective truths and reasonable opinions that run counter to establishment/corporate/IC narratives. I don't

"either you make it, or your hard earned skills are useless on the job market" I think uncommon focus, discipline, physical and mental dexterity along with the ability to perform under pressure are being undervalued here.

Well, good news / bad news ... Good news is the people in the stratospheric pay grades agree, and have been working toward it. Bad news is that the means and outcomes are indeed heinous.

Want to rephrase that without the straw man? And again, this was all presented to congress, and wasn't meaningfully challenged. Only buried and handwaved away, as you're attempting to do here.

"Consumer protections" in this context is cynical doublespeak for censorship. How dare we citizens know what our governments are doing in our name, with our money?

It has everything to do with propaganda and censorship. There is incalculable money and power on the line in the upcoming US election. I suspect you know all of this.
