Yes, I am worried. Inflation is a nasty and serious hit on pretty much everyone. The people that are mumphing about how beneficial it is are economic fools.

Are You Concerned About Inflation?
by Simon ini saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

Science News article: ‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans
by Disillusioned JW ina news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.

This 99% nonsense has been repeatedly debunked. It all comes down to a couple of guy no one ever heard of in an Australian university no one ever heard of and their opinion which was seized on as gospel by every Warmist idiot on the planet.

Loved the original novel, indeed the whole series. The first two movies were simply awful but I am hearing good things about the new one. Looking forward to seeing it.

It's a socialist wet dream and I don't like one thing about it.

I was always fairly cynical about the "Truth" and being something of a student well aware of doctrinal inconsistencies but what really did it for me over time was observing the very much non-Christian behavior by many who occupied positions of responsibility and prominence as well as the abominable and unjust way many innocent people were treated. I can understand doctrinal error, it happens, what i cannot understand or accept is systemic behavior, hypocrisy and absolute refusal to admit error that have no place in Christianity

Taxpayer Money Direct to Union Pockets
by Simon inthe dems are not even trying to hide what they do anymore.. the latest is a direct payoff for political support by providing a $4500 subsidy on electric vehicles ... but only if they are made by union workers.. it's not the job of government to put their hand on the scale, especially not to benefit those who support them politically through campaign contributions.. corruption - it's what they do best.. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-union-bill-tax-incentive-unionized-ev-makers-2021-9.

Using taxpayer money to buy votes and pay off supporters while getting a chunk of that money back as donations is a central part of the Democrat modus operandi. They have it down to a science.

You have chosen a hard path but it is your choice. Been there, done that. Be as nice as you can, be as supportive of people as you can, always refer to the Bible and never the publications, try to give 100% positive talks and never, ever tell people they are not doing enough or they must do more, encourage people to do research, drop the names of a few non Witness sources, you can usually get away with it if it's historical stuff, try Edersheim. If a talk comes up that you just cannot tweak then come down with the Flu.

The anti-vaccine lunatics have been bleating that it's not FDA approved, now that it has been approved they will reject the approval. Truth is that they hate vaccines and they will always find some reason to reject them. The fact that they repeatedly lie about results and twist the statistics tells you what you need to know. I know a lot of vaccinated people, they have had zero problems. The people that I know that got Covid were not vaccinated. The people in the local hospitals that got vaccinated and then got the virus were immune compromised so they didn't generate anti-bodies. That's good enough for me. I frankly do not care what choice people make but I do despise malicious dishonesty.

The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's
by LoveUniHateExams inso, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..

Biden has a history of betrayal. He absolutely doesn't care about the consequences of his actions as long as he gets things his way. Another narcissist but a mentally incompetent narcissist, which is really dangerous.
