Yes, thanks, welderwannabe! This is a great resource. I've used it to divest of GLDM.
What did you go with and why? I'm also a current GLDM holder.

Tks in advance.

Re: Died Suddenly

Do you know whether the four people in your office who died received the boosters in addition to the original two shot vaccine? Including the most recent "bi-valent" booster? My PCP seemed to be a little skeptical about the need for the most recent booster, but we didn't have a long conversation ab...

Hmm... Level 0: Gold Coin (piece of Gold stamped in a circle with USA written on it). Physical dollar note (piece of paper with USA written on it).

Re: The Twitter Files

There is nothing prohibiting US government officials from "leaning" on people or entities. Happens daily, as it does in the corporate world. Whether or not a law is broken is based on how the lean is done. Savvy senior government officials know where that line is and don't cross it...quite a few civ...

Re: The Twitter Files

The two tweets in question were allegations that the voter registration system was owned and operated by "foreign actors", a claim which has yet to be proven, at least at the standard required by the courts. The Fantasy Island series ran for 7 years. Here's to 2023 and the show going off air again....
