You've lost your mind... I also think you're a bit too willing to be trusting here of these large Pharmaceutical entities. I'm "fully vaxxed" (at least relative to Oct 2021 standards) because "price of society", but it's very OK to ask questions. I mean already your trust in the vaccine's protection has had to shift from 91-96% "I can't get infected nor pass it on" to it will be an effective pre-therapeutic to make sure we don't get seriously ill. Let's maintain some perspective, don't denigrate and hate those that you're arguing are full of hate. Currently "the Global Left" is freaking out about Omicron, but you have people in South Africa saying that it's very mild, akin to a Cold (mostly because....it IS a Cold), Oxford telling Moderna to stop spreading fear, etc etc etc. The world has gone topsy-turvy...to be a Leftist used to mean "challenge authority", which was always good and something I respect. Now it's "abide authority", very strange.

Why live anyway?

They have been, no idea what original poster was talking about...it was all over the triumverate of Liberal Cable news including all the DA and Defense presentations, etc.

It's just another example of the everyday failure of virtually every idea & policy that American and Global Leftists can come up with...

I'm sorry, but how do you "Allegedly" run someone over with a car? Even in this day/age of autonomous vehicles, this one's pretty clear-cut, no? Hi, I was hit/run over by a car...here are my injuries (yikes, BTW). Ok, who was driving? That guy, his car. Ok, we'll investigate this "Alleged" hitting of you with his car.

Disgusting comment from that Trial Lawyer, zero defending that. Also zero defending the behavior of the defendants, they are clearly racist scum who need to be punished. There is no place for this mindset in our society.

"Recommendations"

Well, Leftist dummies will, as they're wont to do....

I think it's more headlines reading, and then when things get tough, those headlines go away...

They are actively bad people.

If they tested 100% of people for "Flu" who died in a hospital, the number of annual deaths "From or With Flu" would be multiples of the numbers we get annually. 700k people have died in 2 years "from or with" Covid, so 350k vs a typical Flu season of 50-80k...so multiples (if I were correct) would put that right in the wheelhouse. Death by virus...no, mitigation factors probably had no effect on the ultimate numbers.

What about the Attack on Senate offices during the Kavanaugh hearings? Plenty of insurrection there, no?

We know your opinion on this. I happen to dramatically disagree with that position. What matters is what a larger number of voting Americans thinks about it. Right now it's not lookin' so good for your position.

Yeah, inflation is a YoY construct, so if the base-effect (comping off a higher 5-6% range from 2021) didn't lower inflation some, then we'd be in deep trouble. The entire argument about 2021 was that we'd see a burst of inflation in the March-May time-frame as we lapped the downdraft in the Economy from Covid in 2020, but that those higher prices would moderate because of a more reasonable base-effect. That did not happen, because of Biden's policies, we're now looking at 5-6% levels still here in November. Next you'd look at two-year stacked comparisons, which will still look dreadful (if you believe in Economics at all) The scary part could be that the 3-year stacked numbers starting in June/July of 2022 could look really bad, which might lead (as GS suggests) the Fed to lift rates, which would be an absolute calamity causing the markets to crater and jobs to be lost.

See, it's not hyper-partisanship, or whatever they want to call it. Sometimes, the ideas are just WRONG, and it's OK to disagree with WRONG ideas if you want your society to survive, thrive. Biden's version of "bipartisanship" is you nicely agree with whatever my cabal has introduced. That's dumb. People on the American Left right now basically have zero idea about how a successful society functions and constructs itself, that much is clear. As they drag their idea structures so much further left, then shout "Partisanship", they're using that word to prevent the dissent of their bad ideas, which will doom our society in the end. At a minimum, as we're witnessing by their pathetic attempts to "fight the inflation they've caused" by brow-beating OPEC, then foisting the FTC on American Greedy Oil Companies, they are beginning to realize their awful proscripts actually hurt the people they are pretending to help, or else they wouldn't bother with those fumbling actions. It's not partisanship if the other side just keeps throwing terrible ideas out. Similarly, the Infrastructure bill is not some "BIPARTISON ACCOMPLISHMENT"...the freaking $550B fund to fix stuff had run dry and they simply doubled the funding since our country is falling apart. That's just a decent idea.

Correct, Narratives matter. What country we once had is lost.

Trump CRUSHED many wealthy taxpayers in NJ/NY/CT/CA etc with SALT...Democrats really are just dumb people. The world has turned upside down in the last 4-5 years.

111 container ships are now floating off California ports waiting to be unloaded, a new record. Let's see, what's changed here? Cranes breaking down? Piers collapsing into the sea? Well, no. The only difference is Democrats scaring workers that they'll die of Covid-19 and paying them exorbitantly to not work because they want to create equal-er outcomes.

So exciting, we have the latest Global dictatorship in Nicaragua and, SURPRISE(!), once again we have said oppression arising from a Leftist government. I really can't understand it...Cuba, Russia, China, Venezuela, yadda yadda But the American Left thinks Donald Trump is a Fascist...you know what, forget it, I'll concede Donald Trump is a petulant child who had no business being President (though he actually brought some good ideas we are still benefitting from), fine. But this incessant lurch Leftward against ALL evidence to the contrary, through history and in front of our very faces, defies all logic. Once again, the failure is in Education. Or, more appropriately, the problem is brain-washing of half the population by the Means To An End Party. The trick's been played, and we lost, unfortunately

So Naive They'd be fine "Intellectual" Leftists are going to destroy this place Why does blocking not work on here? I acknowledge I violated my own protocol

Yep, its certainly inappropriate to call out negative Leftist trends that have sunk EVERY Civilization in the history of humanity. How tragic...

Its the Means to An End Party at work, they are quickly becoming Monsters, which of course is what happens when societies lurch Leftward as has occurred throughout history.

CNN was just embarrassing tonight talking about Aaron Rodgers and the Vaccine. They are dumb and have no shame.

I truly hope Leftists keep popping off about the Racism factors for the next 10 years. It's a losing argument. To everyone except sniveling Leftists.

I don't think you grasped the concept here, so discussion may be futile, but very clearly I'm arguing that policies and procedures and rules put in place in response to deaths would be radically different from those prisms. For example, you wouldn't cancel every event for 20 months, make kids wear masks in schools, etc etc
