"People choosing not to vaccinate are putting him at risk". This might not exactly be the strongest point to make, as the Covid IFR rate for those under 17 is 20 in 1,000,000, or a 99.998% survival rate. Sure, there's a non-z

It's kind of scary how many times they can write "experts say [X]" without ever once actually citing/referencing where these experts say this, or quoting those experts, or providing any sort of proof whatsoever that &quo

It's a common strawman argument to paint the argument as black and white, that either you want taxes or you want zero taxes. When in reality there's many shades of grey. The majority of people that complain about taxes don't

This is apparently what counts as journalism nowadays. A collection of anecdotes and emotion filled stories. For an article that's supposedly talking about whether Sweden made the correct decisions or not, note how many paragraphs you

"they basically take 12.92% of your pretax earnings" Could you clarify this? Is the 12.92% your entire tax burden or the extra amount for medical? If the former, I currently pay $92 a month for health and dental insurance. I made

In my mind those are entirely reasonable trade-offs in exchange for hundreds of millions of human beings being free and allowed the power to defend themselves and their loved ones. If anything that shows how insanely responsible the overwhe

Even if it's an awful news source, which it is, it's the only place to receive the other side of stories, or alternative viewpoints, as biased as they are. Fox News and CNN are the same in my book. You can disagree with that, whic

They're a far right activist group according to the leftists who write that definition, yes. It's all so tiring, it's straight out of 1984. Isn't it interesting that you'll never once ever read the phrase "far

I guess I don't really understand what the plan is, since all bitcoin transactions have a permanent record that are publicly viewable by all. You can't hide bitcoin, every transaction they were involved in is recorded. If they eve

There are other safe-havens against inflation which have existed for hundreds of years. Bitcoin didn't invent the concept of an inflation hedge, and the citizens you refer to had and still have standard alternate solutions. Which in al

It really feels like they're trying hard to manipulate the statistics. They mention that wind lost a full 50% of its capacity, but only mention that natural gas / coal made less than "was estimated". I don't really
