Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

As for a "medical authority", how would you even know who to believe nowadays? That's true and it's not just a wacky right wing talking point. Fauci is a prominent example. We don't need masks, they aren't effective in this case. Everyone must wear masks. Double masks are a very good idea...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

The networks are trying to promote vaccination. Yet, every single episode shows a person getting a needle into their shoulder. Not exactly Marketing 101. There are a lot of people who are simply afraid of shots. So yeah, let’s run footage of needles being buried into shoulders. Morons.

Well, a few of us asked him to stop posting the same objections to the PP over and over and over. Apparently he didn't like that, and left completely. I wouldn't expect that there is any more to it than that.

Re: The Afghan Papers

All of the dumbasses who think the mighty American military can win wars have not been paying attention. They can win wars if the battles are set up like WW2 battlegrounds. Which will never happen again. The last of the WW2 style battles happened in WW2. Personally I think the next war will be a cy...

Re: The Afghan Papers

I haven't even read the story, because I feel I don't need to. It's been so obvious that it was Viet Nam all over again.

Re: Electric Vehicles

I'm not anti EV. But, sit and watch how many vehicles get petro fuel in an hour at a busy interstate highway gas station. The typical car fill up takes less than 3 minutes. Now if they were EVs instead, tell me how they do it and how much real estate and grid capacity it takes.

Re: Falling yields

Man, I don't know. I keep running into business people and businesses that are desperate for workers. And big wage increases. I'll spare you the anecdotes, but they are everywhere. My prediction, inflation soon and bigger than you expect. So will that be stagflation? Seems like a plausible scenario....

Re: Want to lose weight & treatment for diabetes

I’m pretty sure that in Illinois you can purchase lab tests on your own. I think it would be worthwhile.

Get your PSA tested. I don’t like the annual prostate exam but the cancer is in my family so I see a urologist each year.
