Doesn't England have an official state religion ie Anglicanism? And isn't the King the de facto head of the Church? Why aren't they losing their shit?

Rogers (telecom) in Canada just fired their entire chat support team and replaced it with AI.

It's...not going well.

Trump just comes in and gets to play real estate rebuilder after jews bomb and destroy and genocide and ethnically cleanse and throw White bodies into meat grinder fake wars.

Like he saw Dick Cheney's playbook and ripped the page right out.

I don't know if it was always the plan; that really smacks of "9D chess" BS. Likely it's more a matter of seeing an opportunity and taking it, compounding corruption rather than planned.

But yeah, America isn't getting anything good out of this. Jews will get rich off mining and America will be forced to defend Ukraine against Russia, who's obviously willing to fight to keep them out.

While I don't doubt that the majority of the spike is illegals, I wouldn't count out a growing anti-vaxx sentiment in the general population. Anyone paying attention is forced to conclude that, at best, public health has little to no evidence informing them of anything they do, including childhood vaccination.

I stopped taking my kids (albeit older) because every shot I research seems to be pointless. Even meningitis, which is pretty serious, only seems to protect against the targetted strains while, at the same time, increasing the prevalence of the other strains to the point that you're more likely to get the disease if you get the shot.

I'd also like to point out that things like chicken pox, measles, and even polio, are dangerous to adults with no immunity but pose little risk to children. If mostly kids are getting these diseases, it's not really a big deal. Of course, they always try to make it look worse by including infants, who are at a higher risk of serious complications.

It's almost identical to WW1; lines have veen drawn and, for whatever reason, it's much harder to take and hold ground than it is to defend or retake ground.

It's a White meat grinder for sure but I don'y know if the issue is technological or political.

Balance is key.

I'm not even completely against the idea of vaccination, but giving them to everyone is retarded. I think there's absolutely a case of acute usage, like for people who never got chicken pox as a child in order to prevent shingles, but that's not going to maximize profit, is it?

Governments are supposed to balance the interests of their people against businesses operating in the most efficient manner. When they fail to do that, we either need new governments who can or we need to burn down the businesses until the governments can get things under control.

Children and teenagers between ages 5 and 17 make up the majority of cases.

This is pretty important. This particular age range is when you're the least lilely to get seriously ill from a disease. Kids this age get chicken pox, measles, even polio with few major effects.

Notice that with so many cases, there's not one death? And, of course, these are only the casss that are so bad that they went to the doctor; no doubt many more are asymptomatic. So the death rate is something under 0.1%

This is important because humans essentially have a sustainable relationship with these diseases. So long as we get them when we're young they have little effect and, because they had no problem infecting us there's no evolutionary pressure to change.

Now, with subpar vaccinations, not only do we increase the risk of complications by not getting full immunity in childhood but we actually force the virus to evolve into something we van no longer control.

If a world of constantly expanding Browns, land prives will never crash. Even with the clown show in the West, it would still take a hundred years before we're as bad as the shitholes they come from.

It does seem that homes now sell for far more than what the material and labor costs are.

It's the land. All this tiny house/shipping container stuff is pointless because over half the price is the land itself. Governments control both the supply and demand and it seems that they've set a hard barrier for entry into the market.

Why the hell don't Boomers move into rentals?

They don't have to deal with maintenance, repairs, landscaping, or any other emergency. They can budget exactly what they need, years in advance, and settle their estate before they die to prevent infighting with their kids. And they can bitch at their landlords to their heart's content.

Or...a whole bunch of rich foreigners will show up, somehow, and buy them on the cheap...

Hahaha, I said that once.

Ten years ago.

Now I don't think so. I think we are now seeing the creation of a class system with those wealthy enough to own (and pay taxes/insurance on) houses and those who rent. In another ten years, it will be essentially impossible to buy property unless you are helped by someone who already owns property.

Hot take: I'm fine with people taking the jabs, or any other experimental medicine, so long as they're the ones making the choice. If it doesn't work, they die and we all learn a lesson. Nobody wants to say it but someone needs to be the human guinea pig; why not take volunteers?

What I'd rather see is an explicit law against employers, schools, businesses, government, or any other organization discriminating based on medical history, unless it's specifically relevant like organ and blood donations.

I am 100% in favour of reducing consumption. Among many other factors, over the top materialism contributes to complacency and makes people think twice about risking political involvement or contributing to volunteerism.

A bit of scarcity will wake people up to the reality of what living actually costs, and what they actually need, rather than pointlessly consuming just because stuff is cheap.

Not in the short term.

Due to Free Trade, we no longer have the capacity to manufacture our own goods. If tariffs go into effect, everyone will be paying significantly more to the government for almost everything they buy.

The problem is: without tariffs, there's no incentive to build local manufacturing so it's a catch-22.

It's going to be a bandaid ripper for most people but the only alternative is to continue in this incredibly fragile and exploitative system called globalism.

Canadians aren't too happy about it either, ironically.

While we're able to sell natural resources abroad more easily, we also get our markets totally flooded with foreign goods to the point where we can't manufacture anything locally.

There are also a bunch of legalities that mess us up. Maybe 20 years ago, Ontario was going to pay for a program installing solar on personal properties and farms by manufacturing the panels locally and taxing them. They got sued by Japan because, under Free Trade, they aren't allowed to in any way favour locally made goods.

I thought they wanted all countries to be borderless economic zones? How do barriers to trade help this?

I doubt they'll ignore the defense spending.

I see this to be a propaganda move; they're showing people things that are relatable to get them on side.

If the Pentagon spent $300B on an aircraft carrier, but if was only supposed to cost $200B, how does Jon Q Lunchbox know the difference? Maybe it was underestimated, or there was a component shortage or who knows what. Maybe it's waste, but what do I know?

Now, if you show them $1M spent on Portugese Tranny Comics, they're going to say "That's stupid, I don't want that" without any qualification. If you show them a boatload of this stuff, they see a clear, unavoidable pattern.

Then you can start talking about Defense spending.

It raises the question: if Musk thinks they're still alive, does the payout process also think they're still alive?

Edit: What he's saying doesn't even make sense. If they were all just null values, the ages would all be the same ie 1875. But there's a random distribution, almost as though these people sinply have not been declared dead.

Yeah, there are clearly issues with COBOL but it's been running without hiccup, more or less, since the 70s. The very fact that it has not changed in this time is key for maintainability; imagine using Python or Java and having some arbitrary update break the entire social security system, plus changing the way the code works forcing all engineers to relearn and refactor everything.
