Bill Gates knows better than most that there’s enough money in the world to try and tackle both climate change and poverty, and still leave him a billionaire.
I think the wording that really bugs me in his quote is “healthy and productive life”. If all the alarms are true we’re already fucked on climate, so he’s concerned about maintaining a labor force.
Here is the study.
This was such a complex study, if I’m reading it correctly. Ultimately they ruled out other parts of the vaccine to find what was causing the immune response “reset”, and found it was only the mRNA that was eliciting the response.
My dog and I were attacked last year by an off-leash dog while walking our neighborhood. Both myself and the other owner had to provide proof of rabies vaccination to animal control. Their dog drew blood on me and mine punctured the other dog’s ear while defending me. If they couldn’t provide proof, or if there was history of previous human bites the dog would have been put down. In my state, anyway.
The vaccine I usually hear people turning down out here is the rattlesnake venom vaccine.
I’m about to list my house for 20k more than I purchased it 3 years ago. When it goes on the market there will only be two other houses in the same price range (~100k range, with mine in the middle).
What she’s saying is so insanely out of touch. That’s a 70+ year old house and my elderly millennial ass could just afford it after years of saving
I won’t be recomping the improvements I made to the house, that 20k is basically going to the realtors lol
Comically, this didn’t work for the Tiger King
He did say his opinion is the only one that matters yesterday.
He’s the CEO of the United States, and the shareholders no longer have the ability to oust him
This same facility had an explosion in 2014 that resulted in death. The fact that they didn’t learn from that and chose to continue to be reckless is sad and infuriating.
California did sue
Gavin absolute does love the drama and being in the news too, though
I served during a war, but I’m not a combat veteran.
I think putting the focus on being a combat veteran to “earn” disability benefits is unfortunate, because there are things that can disable you even if you aren’t at war. I know a lot of people who have broken their backs during routine maintenance, some who lost hearing to insufficient hearing protection on a flight line, a few who lost limbs to snapping arresting wires, some who have had debilitating reproductive cancer at very young ages because of the chemicals we were exposed to.
But I know far more veterans who are like me and weren’t kept safe from their fellow soldiers/airmen/shipmates. I don’t know if it’s different now, but it was really common to just admin separate people who suffered what I did and not provide medical care. My command went so far as to tell me I was not a veteran and not to seek medical care or benefits when they gave me my discharge paperwork. They said that with straight faces, looking at me with my broken face and skull, bruised and sliced body, and barely able to stay awake because my brain was damaged.
Over 10% of female veterans have experienced what I did, 40% have experienced harassment, and about 5% of men also have the same kind of PTSD that comes from sexual trauma. Regardless of combat deployment status. That really points to an institutional problem with the military. So please, point at the commands when you want to take money away, instead of the people who are using the socialized Healthcare we signed contracts for in event of disability during service
Americans for spending so much on wars and veteran benefits that are abused at historic levels as social media taught people how to get to or near 100% disability ratings and lawyers specialized in getting high disability ratings for their clients
This is the first I’m hearing of that. Though I admit I don’t use sm. I was given 100% for PTSD after going through an extremely stressful evaluation where the examiner deliberately triggered me several times. I say deliberate, but it was very subtle, if someone was faking it they wouldn’t have noticed or even reacted.
On the flip side, I have a friend who is missing 10% of his brain to an IED, can’t hear for shit, and can’t walk very far because the part of his brain that is missing controls autonomous breathing - he has to think about it or he doesn’t breathe. He was only given 30% and he honestly doesn’t have the resources or mental fortitude to keep trying to get the VA to take care of him.
My conspiracy theory is that they’ve fired all the people who monitored and screened communication/social media and replaced them with AI. The problem is violent threats and comments are so common in what it was trained on that the AI doesn’t know when there’s a problem
They do not contradict each other. I’m certain there will be more stops as the city grows, because they keep improving it. I used to live in a city, in another state, with one of the best public transportation systems in the country, and they also kept improving that system to include the surrounding cities in other counties. Just because something isn’t perfect already does not mean we can’t take it seriously and strive for perfection
It’s a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.
I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I’d cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn’t have public transportation. Now I can’t cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it’s so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess
Man, I never used fast food, or drive throughs as much as I have since I developed a mobility disorder. Last week I put a pickup order in at my local coffee shop out of habit, and couldn’t carry both my coffee and the breakfast sandwich to my car at the same time. Which sounds so stupid, but it took so much extra energy for both trips into the store that I was ready to go home and call it a day after that lol
I know the answer is “don’t get fast food and just eat at home”, but I’ve also been so tired after work/school that I’m not eating, and I dunno what the answer to that is either. My state isn’t a place where people think about how to care for their communities, and most of it has hours of highway between “cities”
That’s such a low price for silence
I have no idea if he used protective gear when applying it, which certainly could have increased his exposure. I would love to blame Monsanto, but most of the family carry the risk genes for this cancer too, and as yet his children are cancer free. Their babies though, not so much
In the 00s my uncle was in a position where Monsanto was suing him for not holding up his end of the contract, because he had a bad crop year. Anyway, my grandparents bailed him out by financing a lawyer who settled for him, and it really didn’t fix the problem at all. He still lost his farm, my grandparents were no longer wealthy because they kept trying to help him, and the uncle died a couple years later to cancer (probably driven by stress). They bailed him out because they were afraid he’d kill himself over the farm, and it took him out anyway
Thank you for being more eloquent with your reply than I was able to be. That purity test comment made me see red. Where else are disenfranchised groups to go, but to the left? How can we be represented if the only place we can turn refuses to represent us?
To be fair, most Americans don’t pay any attention to Canadian politics (or any other country tbh). So Doug’s jacked up policies go in one ear and out the other because they very broadly don’t affect Americans.
All but one of the authors of this paper are dead. I agree with you though, and I would hope a retraction of a paper as serious as this would trigger a review of all the papers connected to the authors.
