  Covid virus transmission NOT tested in Pfizer trials

  why isn't the world's media covering this revelation?.

  if i'd lost a job, business, or reputation for refusing to "get jabbed and save other people's lives," i think i'd be demanding to know what "science" enforced some of the draconian laws & punishments on those who declined the "offer.".

  All the "follow the science" was really "believe the propaganda", because how could there be any science if they didn't test for it and there was therefore no data to base the policies on?

  All lies, and those responsible for untold deaths should be harassed anytime they step foot outside. Seriously, make them afraid to sit in a restaurant. If they are not going to be prosecuted for their crimes, society should impose its own sanctions on them.

  Many of these people got insanely wealthy from the lockdowns, while others suffered untold misery and were denied the chance to say goodbye to loved ones.

  The data is clear now that the places that locked down and vaccinated the most had the highest excess deaths.

  I would only say that innumeracy is a BIG part of why people stay poor.

  And that's why the school system is so bad at teaching financial literacy (along with everything else).

  It's easy for the political class the teachers unions support to manipulate those poor people by pointing at "rich man bad" in order to keep power and control.

  So the poor dumb end up voting for the people who made sure they were poor and dumb in the first place, so the cycle can be perpetuated.

  The bitter, jealous and feeble minded only see "rich man pay less" because they are simplistic and can't do math. it's partly why they are poor.

  It's hard for any tax cut to not give more to the rich because the taxes accumulate so whatever level gets a cut applies to those and all levels above.

  The rich pay all levels so naturally get all cuts.

  Continuing along the path of reducing the number of people who pay any tax is unsustainable and has a devastating negative affect on society as a whole.

  The welfare state should be temporary and an absolute safety net, not a lifestyle. There should never be generations of people in families that don't work.

  Taxation isn't the way to solve income inequality. It simply creates an ever more complex system that will always benefit the wealthy who can afford to hire people (and who have the added incentive) to find the loopholes.

  Jesus H Christ! It's like some weird prosthetic from a Tim Burton movie.

  Everyone should contribute to society and pay a proportion in tax. If you don't contribute, you don't value things. We now have a whole segment of the population that thinks they can smash and destroy whatever they want with zero consequences. When things come out of your pocket, it changes the equation.

  All taxes should be a simple percentage, then we could abolish the tax regime itself which costs a fortune to run. Also the "hidden" tax of the cost of doing your tax returns.

  Give the government less money and they have less chance of pissing it away on nonsense.

  I aways suspected that "John Redwood" was "John Cedars", they sounded so alike and JR always popped up to defend and obfuscate JCs behavior, so I assumed it was just another pseudonym.

  Discovering it was actually another person was a revelation, but I still never knew where one ended and the other began.

  He's distanced himself from JLE, but not really condemned him or took a stand. He oozes "politician" in that he's keeping his options open, but I doubt JLE will see it that way - anything short of 110% adulation makes you an enemy.

  Most supporters of JLE just haven't discovered the real him yet. They really should try suggesting that maybe he's gone too far or should back off or question something, just to get a glimpse of the real character behind the curtain.

  Will Ukraine win?

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  Zalensky has made it quite clear he's not interested in peace.

  Still lots of money to be made by all the grifters, defence contractors and politicians.

  Ukraine won't be solved while Biden is in office.

  can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.

  we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.

  Nah, no god, no fear.

  I think Biden is more likely to bring the apocalypse.

  he said "more people have stuck with me than have stopped being patrons" or some dumb shit like that

  Yet another example of his oversized ego and lack of thinking ability.

  Defamation is meaningless without damages - i.e. some demonstrably material impact on your income. This was a key factor in the Depp / Heard trial (for Lloyd's benefit, a "trial" is a real thing that happens in a real court, when there is a real case ...)

  It's hard to claim you suffered damage when you are also claiming that the impact has been minor (and I don't think begging classes as earning anyway).

  Another reason it's good to keep copies of everything he says - they can be used to discredit any later, contradictory, claims he may make in court, making him a thoroughly unreliable witness and his testimony count for nothing.

  Not that there will ever be a case, but even if we were on Lloyds fantasy island, it still all falls apart.

  That list of grievances, trying to make himself sound ... well, I don't know what - clever? intellectual? important?

  Like "an inconsistent prophetic explanation of the King of the North" ... c'mon, who ever gave a flying fuck about that, really? No one, that's who!

  It's more like "a chance to talk about my winky again, and 8 other things so it doesn't just look like an excuse to talk about my winky again"
