[QUOTE=RogerOver;5772912]because the poor tend to get fucked no matter who's in charge.[/QUOTE]Can't say I disagree with that. My point was that the handling of Covid certainly has not helped the average American, and it has done even less to help those in third world countries in even greater need, who have suffered even far greater consequences as a result of the hysteria and hype and yes, disinformation propagated by the governments and media worldwide. Thankfully, it appears the facade is beginning to crumble and people are just beginning to realize what has taken place, but only after much irrepairable damage has already been done (9/11 aftermath deja vu anyone?).

[QUOTE=RogerOver;5771839]See, that's your point and YOUR personal opinion. My economy isn't destroyed. I'm making more money now than I ever did. I'm good with your decisions for you and your family. I'm not good with people trying to force it on the rest of us. In a lot of ways, the lockdown helped the future economy, since many people have moved on to better, work-from-home jobs that let them spend more time with family, etc. without the time and fuel costs associated with commuting to work.

Sorry if that hurt the diner that was supporting the lunch crowd, but just like autonomous vehicles will kill off long-haul truck drivers at some point, it's not all bad.

I'm not extending this to other countries that may have suffered much worse during the lockdowns. No idea about that.[/QUOTE]Highest wage growth amongst the lowest paid tier in 50 years. Highest GDP growth in 50 years. Reduction in child poverty, highest US household savings, us household savings is at 2 trillion right now, banks are in the strongest position, unemployment below 4 percent.

It's a cult, they don't like who's in power, so no matter how good things are, their cult forces them to believe it's all bad.

I'm unaffiliated, although many in here would call me the radical left since I don't believe all their stupid shit. I've literally had righties tell me that they aren't happy, but any change would mean voting for a democrat and they can't do it. I can't imagine what it's like to be that myopic.

Inflation has outstripped wage growth, which is why the average American household's situation has actually seen a deterioration. I repeat, the wealth divide in the country has never been greater, so if you believe the lowest paid have been making out then you're out of touch with reality. US household debt at an all-time high. Banks are in the the position they're in (which is far from the strongest historically speaking, by the way) thanks to the bailouts provided via the taxpayer dollars and them paying those same taxpayers zero interest on their savings, thanks to this fraudulent Fed who looks out for their Wall Street banker buddies instead of the tax payers. Unemployment numbers are low because of the massive amount of people that have left the workforce and rolled off the unemployment ranks. It's easy to pump up stats in the short term with reckless printing of endless money, but eventually you have to deal with the consequences. I've been critical of monetary policy since long before this administration came to power, though like almost every administration of recent years, they seem to take it as a challenge to escalate it to a new level.

[QUOTE=TreatHerWell;5773108]If you got the vaccine great, if not great. Everyone should do what they feel is best for their body. Remember though to keep your body healthy to fight off any disease. You can take vitamin D, get exercise, walk, get a good nights sleep, get as much garlic, green tea, turmeric, zinc, green juice, fresh vegetables into your system as you can, etc etc. The media fails to tell you the latter.[/QUOTE]Uh-huh so if you get HIV or the flesh eating bacteria and don't decided to take any medication but vitamin D and other home remedies you will be completely fine... Something tells me you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

I've been called a radical socialist by people that have no idea what the term means. I've been called a right wing fascist by people that have no idea what they are talking about. This site is about pussy and having a good time. Of the 6 or so forums that I visit regularly, atlanta is the only one where people are going ape shit. I haven't figured out why.

Anybody that think's that their life will fundamentally change based on who is president, controls congress, is governor, or whatever is fooling themselves. Politicians don't care about me, you, or the man in the moon. They only want your next vote, so they pander to people and fool them. If they can fool enough of the voters, then they win the next election. Sure, they put on a pretty face and kiss up, but behind the scenes, they don't give a damn about anyone.

Please just stop, if you even can.

I am not saying my choice is your right and your choice for you is wrong and you have no business telling me my choice is wrong. Neither my personal Dr nor my new VA Dr pushed me to the get the shot.

Have a nice day.

That's because you're a liar, Joe. You spew so much bullshit you can't figure nothing out.

[QUOTE=Joesouncool;5748436]I found where the quotes came from. Sorry, but it is behind a paywall. Renz wouldn't quote the numbers under oath. He only stated them away from a court after he was testifying something under oath, so the numbers were not stated while under oath, merely an off the cuff statement.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Joesouncool;5754969]where are his insiders with all of the information? Why don't they testify in open court or in congress? If the cdc is doing such a bad job or has allowed big pharma to bend everyone over, where are these people?
The answer is, there aren't any people to bring forward.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Aaron Hamlet;5762095]No paywall. Numbers were submitted under oath. Did testify in open court or congress. And there are many to bring forward. As a matter of fact, 2-3 dozen medical professionals already have. Fat Joe is 0-5 just in just these two comments. Why you make things up and lie Joe? You scared? Useful idiots will tell you it's a conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy. It's happening in the open right in front of your face.

'After an open hearing regarding massive increases in cancer diagnosis, neurological problems, etc. in active duty military. Senator's letter to the Secretary of defense asking if he's aware of these increases and if so what is he doing to investigate it. Also asks as a follow up to earlier letter re the DoD has removed all the diagnosis of myocarditis from the DMED database from 1/21 thru 12/21 and if so why.'[/QUOTE]

Go back to telling how you're old and fat but pick up the hottest strippers, shot girls and waitresses, take them home and bang them without paying a dime?

What is different now is that we have a compromised, addled sack of crap as president who is a cover for the woke monsters who are actively destroying American foundations for their own narrow interests. At least 75% of Americans do not want the America they are trying to force upon us. If this continues there will be an eventual show of force as the majority will fight back and it will not be pretty. I sincerely hope that this can be avoided but the possibility is definitely on the table now.

Look dummy, just because 75% of the stupid fucks you hang out with all day think something, doesn't translate to the rest of us Americans. Just keep playing with all your hyper-patriotism bullshit, stroke your Gadsden flags, and just fuck off with the stupid shit.
