What percentage of people over 65 die in the next month in normal times?

It’s greater than zero. In any population getting vaccinated, some will die the next day or within the week, even if they had gotten a placebo. Need to see the causation.

I guess I need to watch The Matrix.

I think that the younger a person is who looks to enter politics, the more likely it is that they are sociopathic or the like. I’ve seen some aspiring career politicians up close and personal. Their motives are not good. I would expand the old joke: “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach. Thos...

The more bad things Janet Yellen says about bitcoin, the more you should think that it is good. I don't own any but that point should be obvious as heck.

It does seem like a lot of the antifa crowd are angry liberal arts graduates.

Let’s cool it with the alt right extremists conspiracy theories. We have to trust our elected leaders. I’m sure Biden has good cause to do this and it will come out in the course of time. When your guy was president, we didn’t jump to conclusions and attack him, please afford us Democrats the same ...

Another anecdote. One of the funeral home owners in my hometown told my brother than he is worn out from dealing with the extra funeral load. And that there is a shortage of caskets nationwide. My hometown is 5 or 6 thousand population, semi rural. Only one anecdote but it certainly sounds like ther...

I hang around with a lot of seniors. Most are reporting not much reaction. One person had a low grade fever for several days. She got vaccinated right after having Covid. All of these have gotten Moderna.

What if she had worked for Sears instead of Abbot?

I'm with John Bogle. Index funds have not let me down. I learned this by first trying to pick stocks.

Is it being covered in MSM?

Wow, that’s an adventure.

Also regarding the above. Executive Editor Dean Baquet had previously declined to fire Mr. McNeil over the two-year-old incident, saying it was clear the term hadn’t been uttered in a “hateful or malicious” way. But that was before a tsunami of intolerance from the forces of tolerance inside the pa...

Why is Congress being so cheap???
Set it at $30! That will really benefit all workers. I mean, there is no downside, so why the heck not?

Just looking at a few US states, it looks like COVID is falling off a cliff over the past two weeks. Yes? Has it been met with an equal increase in the flu? :o By last summer I figured there wouldn’t be much flu because of the COVID precautions. I know you don’t want to believe that, but I do.

Just looking at a few US states, it looks like COVID is falling off a cliff over the past two weeks.
Yes?

I got my Pfizer vaccine yesterday. I'm at a higher risk than most because I have cancer. My arm was sore for about a day and I had mild flu symptoms that have already dissipated. It's given me a greater sense of reassurance already. I have decided that I’ll get vaccinated when I can. Sorry to hear ...

Like the author, I continue to struggle to understand the attraction to crypto currencies. Even though they continue to climb higher and higher with no end in sight I have no desire to get involved...it's like a parallel universe to me that plays no part of my reality. Author presents a number of c...

How Anthony Fauci Survived Donald Trump The new White House chief medical adviser explains what it was really like to work for an administration that tried constantly to undermine him. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/anthony-fauci-trump-biden-and-covid-19-crisis/617838/?utm_sou...

Are big Corp and big Finance making most of their money at the expense of others, or are they growing the pie? I don’t know. It’s easy to say it’s at the expense of others. But I bet we can think of a lot of ways they add value.

Dear friends, Hope you are totally healthy and away from pandemic. I would like to know your opinion about this transformation of portfolio in US-PP. Having only: 1/3 GOLD + 1/3 LTB + 1/3 STOCKS It is a new portfolio to me and I want to add NEW fresh money every year to it, so I don't think I need ...

I know it is tempting to feel one has to get in before it’s too late. But a lot of the too late scenarios would be problematic. I have some FOMO, but if it’s truly going to have a great future, it should be okay to wait.

Cancel Culture is a Dress Rehearsal for Mass Murder.
This is exactly my point.

https://www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2021-02/227357_5_.png I wonder how North and South Dakota are able to generate 30% of their power from wind...(double that of Texas) with some extremely harsh winter weather rather routinely. To start with, I bet they don’t heat with electricity. i woul...

And in a world with UBI and universal healthcare, what does IQ even matter? Everyone will have the same access as everyone else.

The stupider a person is, the better they will adapt to UBI. Talk about good luck.

I get colds and have trouble with them. No job and no kids at home. None during the covid period yet. From now on, when "there is a bug going around", I will be masking, avoiding stores, and washing hands. Usually that's only a few weeks in early winter.
