Right, the ruling class wanted the tax cuts and judges (to prevent regulation). They want imigration (for cheap labor) and they don't give a crap about your cultural issues.

Oh that's right, it was never built. The guy who always keeps his promises couldn't make his signature promise happen. I never supported it. I thought it was one of the dumbest ideas ever and that it would not have prevented people from coming here. It would have been a big waste of money.

MGT is an idiot, but I often wonder what would happen if the United States amicably split into two countries. I think it's unnecessary and I am not promoting it, but I still think about it. Obviously, it would be chaotic and damaging short-term, but I wonder what would happen long-term? How would they be divided and how would it work out economically, culturally, etc. ? I want to hear what people smarter than me think.

The presidency is like professional wrestling to Trump. He enjoyed the insurrection because it was a good show that he helped produce.

MTG got her divorce

Much like inflation, migrant encounters are back to where they were during the Reagan administration.

Trump's wall is not working

Seager retiring from baseball is not a massive shutdown! If you want to go bigger than that, check out the politcal forum. The conservative could use help from intelligent people like you. They are mostly flailing over there. 😀

Facts and truth! 😃

Yeah, I do think many people have been overly cautious about Covid, but lack of caution has been a much bigger problem throughout.

Man, my speculative throw away post is getting quite a reponse. You put the word Covid in a post and people get all worked up. 😀 From day one, I have always thought of Covid as something I didn't want to catch and then give to my parents. I have never been worried about myself. I assume there are others who feel the same way. I also said in my post "fear of Covid/tedium of Covid restrictions", but people only picked up on fear.

I thought this comment on the thread was even more true:

I had ignored the troll for a couple of days, but then when he started marginalizing nurses, I jumped back in. I should not have. He is not someone with whom you can have a reasonable conversation.

It doesn't matter. This is about that misleading data you posted from Germany. That wasn't five years ago.

Foxy is all over the place now. We have bamboozled him.

There was no covid-19 five years ago, so that is irrelevant to this dicussion.

Sure they do. People that work at places where vaccines and testing are required get tested all the time.

It wouldn't be a shock if most of the cases were for the vaccinated for a combinatiom of reasons. (1) Most people in Germany are vaccinated. (2) The people who get tested are the same people who get the vaccine. The antivaxers don't bother getting tested unless they get really sick. The key numbers are hospitalizations and deaths for vaccinated versus unvaccinated adjusted for percent vaccinated.

He's got more money than your average boomer which makes it easy for him to retire. My original post said he might have quit due to fear of Covid/tedium of Covid restrictions. Maybe he figures he has a year left in the tank and doesn't feel like dealing with Covid tests, masks, teammates arguing about vaccines, etc. Or with all the conflicting information out there about Covid, maybe he is scared for himself or his family. I just know a lot of people have been leaving the workforce the last couple of years and it's odd to see a 2.5 WAR player retire.

There is a worker shortage in the country and I think a lot of it is because boomers with money saved up who had been hanging onto their jobs to squeeze out some more wealth. Then Covid hit and they decided it wasn't worth it anymore and they wanted to do something else. I can see wealthy players doing the same thing. If a young player quit because of Covid before he accumulated wealth that would be surprising.

Did he show up on the WND list yet?

I don't think that's known yet.

I agree it might be a good result if the Omicron variant infects a lot of people. It might solve a lot of problems. However, I would not want to get it deliberately or have my family get it. what if you try to get omicron and then get one of the other variants instead and get really sick? What if you have long-term side effects? What if getting infected with Omicron does not protect you from future infections? As for Chicken Pox. Those that got chicken pox like me (not on purpose) are more susceptible to Shingles later in life. I have known people who got it and suffered with it for months. Fortunately, there is now a vaccine. I understand that herd immunity can sometimes be a good thing if a virus is mild, but I would never deliberately get myself or a family member sick. I'd rather not get sick. It doesn't mean shut everything down or withdraw from society, but I prefer taking some reasonable precautions.

Since your job is so tough and you think you're smarter and more knowledgeable than everyone else, why not find a better job?

I guess being a moron never goes out of style.
