As a thought experiment, replace crypto in this situation for beanie babies. You managed to buy a bunch of beanie babies before a beanie baby craze started, and sold them at exorbitant prices to other people coming in that were convinced th

Using the very numbers you posted, covid is then between 4.7 and 10.6 times deadlier than the flu. If your covid number is the total from the last two years, then it's 2.3 to 5.3 times deadlier than the flu. You don't think it&#x2

Well you can't deny that options are being taken away for a portion of citizens. I stopped doing more than the minimum match into my 401K a long time ago because I could no longer trust that in 30, 40, 50 years nobody wouldn't hav

Here's a good test - if you find yourself in general almost always agreeing with / aligning with all of the stories that your favorite news source runs - that's how you know it's not a real news source. Real, impartial,

2015-2016 was the breaking point for me. Not an ounce of impartial journalism, they just wore their political ideology on their sleeve with no shame and did everything they could to support their position. They weren't reporting news,

I'm trying to find a way to say this and not be too negative about it, but I sincerely can't understand how people consume vox articles. It's some of the most partisan, corrupt, disgusting propaganda you could possibly consum

I never once in my life considered an anti-vax position until now. I still think previous vaccines are fine as we have had decades of experience making and studying them, and only at the moment am concerned about the brand new mRNA vaccine,

To provide additional context: German Tax Rates for an individual: $58,918 - $274,612: 42% US Tax Rates for an individual: $40,126 - $85,525: 22% $163,301 - $207,350: 32% So, if you make an average salary of roughly 40-90k, you pay a full t

I know very little about this, but could someone give a good explanation on how is a drug officially approved for mass use when the manufacturer of the drug still hasn't finished their testing?

Could you link to a single study that comes to the same conclusions about long term lung problems? Not an opinion piece, facts. Not Reddit/Twitter posts, an actual, scientific, study.

35 million people in the US have tested positive with Covid. Additional millions likely had it and weren't tested. What percentage of those tens of millions that caught Covid do you believe would up in the ICU versus having light flu s

I'm assuming they wanted a higher percentage of the population to change their behavior and fully comply with lockdowns/masks/vaccine passports/etc. in response to a coronavirus with a 99.98% survival rate.

How do you ensure the people that are selected have any significant level of intelligence, or desire to better their country rather than just themselves, or have any applicable life experience or knowledge that would lead them to make good,

So, to summarize this study, they basically just asked a few hundred people that had Covid in the past if they had recently felt tired, depressed, had trouble sleeping, etc., and then reported that a number of the people they asked this rep

Of course it is. Not a single study has been done, not a single shred of evidence has been presented, it's lumped in as a possible symptom of the "long covid" baloney, the article itself even says that people might just be de

I don't really buy this argument, since you can sign up at most traditional brokerages for free, with no minimum balance, and zero or almost zero trading fees on most trades. There's absolutely no more barrier to entry than with R

In my experience the quip about the "train not swerving off the tracks so far" is mainly just because of the momentum we had from years of working closely together in the office. The longer it goes on, the further my group/de

Looking at the front page of Propublica right now and it's just a straight up checklist of stories that people of a certain ideology believe. There's no opposing ideas or viewpoints present. They only run stories that the people r

"They dont talk about or even cover the same things" - this is the number one fake news tactic in play. I'm not sure what to call it, but it's a 2x2 matrix - If a group is left-leaning, they'll report on everything

The next step is to ask yourself -why- journalists are asking loaded questions and pushing certain narratives. I don't believe it's coincidence, or just that they're just not very good at their jobs. There's economic, p

Until we live in a post-scarcity world how is it a choice? There simply are not enough resources. You can forcefully confiscate and redistribute every penny the "rich" have and nothing would change.

If anything your comment is as tribalistic as one could get. Black and white viewpoints on topics, presenting your picture of reality as the correct one, with no alternative explanations allowed, cherry picking data and examples that help c

This is similar to my recent realization - as much as I believe it's a complete ponzi scheme, a near complete scam, as long as there's enough people who don't know better who can be conned to buy into it, it will keep getting
