  will we close down again?

  will we be masked forever?

  will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?

  It all depends who will be in power in your area.

  In the US, Dems have another 12-18 months to create their utopia, their ratings are dropping quickly. They have a few more tricks like stacking the Supreme Court and the current spate of Gerrymandering they’re doing. Europe is done for, they will soon be a puppet to the Chinese like much of Africa and Asia already is, some countries will try to split from the EU but unless we have a return of great leaders in the US, they will be like Poland or Ukraine or countries like France and Germany may split again like East Germany or Nazi France.

  We will see a post world war boom in free areas and a return to a USSR-era Cold War communist-style government in others, with fights between factions and free people while countries like the EU will either splinter or muddle on and require handouts from the free areas for the next 50 years.

  @rocketman: you missed the part where I said, all those manufacturers have one, but almost nobody buys them.

  You won’t fit a family with 2 or 3 kids in a Prius, you won’t haul anything with it, you won’t fit much cargo, they need special tires and they have a short range.

  The ones that are big enough and have a range to replace my $15k VW on gas (BMW, Toyota) are more expensive than Tesla’s offering ($50-60k).

  If you can afford a big electric car and you are single or have one child, you have nothing to worry about, but people rely on trucks and minivans sub-$20k for a reason.

  alberta has just lifted all covid restrictions because they can't find any samples to prove it even exists.. https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/alberta-lifts-all-covid-restrictions-because-they-cant-produce-an-isolated-sample-of-sars-cov-2-to-prove-covid-exists-to-back-their-mandates/.

  german paper bild apologises for pushing covid lockdowns and damaging society.. https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-07-30-german-newspaper-apologizes-covid-lockdown-hysteria-society.html.

  @fulltimestudent: it’s interesting how news stories coagulate around COVID being the cause of these bodies washing ashore, when these kind of occurrences happen daily and India has done ever worse since the British left.

  Here is an article from 2015: https://www.cnn.com/2015/01/15/asia/ganges-corpses-india/index.html

  Note that in India, burial is often not religiously acceptable, so they burn their dead and/or float them or bury them on or near the “holy river” depending on the caste and sect they belong to.

  Some 2.4M Indians die from preventable diseases annually, while 5M die from chronic diseases, total of 10M deaths annually. Some of them will have covid, sure, but the majority will die from lack of food, water and healthcare. The few thousand deaths from COVID over a time span of now 2 years won’t make much of a change.

  @road to nowhere: that is Europe in a nutshell if you’re poor. That’s how I grew up. And there are people on here that don’t understand that if you’re rich or American (but I repeat myself) you can’t fathom the pure poverty that socialism has bestowed on Western Europe over the last 70 years.

  @rocketman: look what happened to all the auto brands that have trade unions. Without the Obama intervention, they would’ve all gone out of business by now.

  Musk doesn’t like unions, because he likes to actually get his car built at reasonable prices.

  Electric cars are already insanely expensive because they take a lot of energy and resources (carbon emissions) to create, much more than any regular car. You can’t reduce those costs without cutting a ton of space, range and usability (compare a Tesla with VW eGolf, Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius and understand why nobody wants to buy the latter).

  Top of the line electric cars will always cost more than my house and their prices are going up, not down, mandating the electric car, like Biden is trying to pass by 2030, would mean that nobody that isn’t rich can afford to drive a car, just in time for the government to swoop in and provide Amtrak public transport paid for with your taxes, and just as in California, a waste of money for whatever high speed rail system they have been building for 30 years.

  Musk is also a conservative/libertarian, so Biden would never invite him just for that, but Musk isn’t shy of pointing out the hypocrisy and shady backroom deals they just made in the White House. How much do you want to bet a Biden family or staff member will be heading whatever development the big three auto makers are going to make in this arena?

  Dems and useful idiots take private property.

  this is nothing but illegal.

  telling people that they can not evict a dead beat renter for not paying rent while the land owner has to pay for repairs, insurance, taxes and a mortgage is such a private property grab.

  any one who votes for these assholes is a total idiot.

  Owning property is bad. They’re just creating problems like housing shortages that way they can swoop in and solve the problem.

  
  

  That is how they did it in California and now the government owns approximately 1M units in what once was highly desirable locations (they pay premium on $250k+ housing units, driving the cost up) while assisting more than a million people with rent and they want to shore that up by developing 2M public housing units.

  news is broadcasting that death valley is getting close to breaking a record.

  the highest air temp recorded is 134 but that was in 1913 way before the huge spike in co2.

  now its 130 and its the end of the world.

  @Rivergang, just a few thousand years ago, most of North America was glacier. Canada still is. Climate has changed and will again, there is nothing we humans can do about it. Yes, we may have an impact, but most scientists will admit this only contributes to 1.5-3C over the next 100 years. Millions of years ago, the earth was an actual greenhouse with average temperatures over 20C higher than today. We now call it the Cambrian explosion, when life exploded from a few microorganisms and shellfish into the ancestors of every species on earth.

  It all depends on your time scale, humans need to adapt, there is nothing we can do now to reverse global warming, that time was 200 years ago, hurricanes are dying down and forests are exploding in growth, we control natural forest fires and they will become bigger and bigger each year. We need to prepare for change, not try to prevent it. Ask the aussies what happened when they tried to control nature, they got bunnies, lots of them, so they built a fence, so they have created entirely different ecosystems and even went to war with the emus (and lost), now they have rodents everywhere.

  @Rocketman: If businesses are back operating, and we're seeing in fact a worker shortage and massive wage growth, why did Biden just extend the moratorium to September and possibly indefinitely, even though it has been declared illegal by the Supreme Court? I didn't know the CDC had plenary power over my property.

  If I were a landlord, I'd be selling off my property to an LLC, then shut off all utilities and declare the LLC bankrupt, let the government take care of it.

  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/04/fit-and-healthy-man-42-from-southport-who-rejected-vaccine-dies-of-covid.

  this has been widely reported by left and right wing news papers.

  just food for thought..

  You're drawing a false equivalence. Polio, measles and smallpox killed a LOT more people as the diseases were not only more deadly, they were also more transmissible. COVID is a coronavirus, we get those all the time, we get cold and flu, some more transmissible than others. There have been years where flu pandemics happened.

  Yes, it's great they eventually got vaccines, but the development of those vaccines were controlled, took a long time and had many, many missteps that were eventually corrected. Yet we're to believe that these experimental vaccines are 100% safe. I would be more than happy if there was a 'regular' vaccine for COVID, yet this is not allowed in the US, we have to take an experimental vaccine system that hasn't been proven yet and over the last 50 years of development has never worked (there are various mRNA trials for HIV in the last few decades).

  It's called a risk assessment, the risk of you dying is lower if you do x than when you do z, that doesn't make it the wrong decision if you do x and z still happens. Everyone has access to the same information, yet some entities are actively suppressing the necessary information and putting out wrong information. The CDC is for example making decisions based on what the school unions think will be financially beneficial to them and their members, ignoring the science.

  Even if you believe the vaccines work, why is so much effort being put into shaping the message on social media and news outlets? Why aren't we talking about the women who start having irregular periods, or the potential deaths and the rates of complications? It doesn't inspire confidence if there is one side trying to suppress information, it always leads to questions of "why". That is what drives vaccine hesitancy.

  The stupid dems are tying to push BS in the infrastructure bill, who would have thought it.

  so i was listing to the news and in the infrastructure bill there is a part that will tax you on how many miles you drive.

  this is above the state and federal gas tax.

  so now they will control and monitor your millage and tax you on it.

  Yeah, they do this in Europe on big trucks, the truckers used to put a piece of sponge between the needle and the chart. Nowadays they’re all electronic, you can find plenty of hacks online.

  Like the lockdowns, this is just about control. As I said in the other piece about Australia, you let the military enforce this emergency, 200+ people have already been detained and will receive fines up to AUD 500, where does it end, there is always an emergency, the earth will keep spinning, climate change will always happen.
