I really wanted to like QAnon as a conspiracy watcher. Unfortunately I was never able to wrap my mind around its stream of consciousness writing. It seemed like a bunch of right wing blather that used buzzwords to tantalize pro swamp draine

You should follow through on some of those links to the actual papers. They have structural problems. The first assumed that there was a 50% chance of the individuals living to 100. That is not realistic. But the business insider article do

We don’t know that. The body could heal. Also there was little thought to comorbidities in most papers.

No. Most of Sweden’s deaths were due to poor management at the beginning. They shoved the elderly into old folks homes with Covid positive patients.

The disease will not be wiped out by masks and hand washing. Germany and other countries are finding their rates of infection increasing as people leave their bunkers. The model used by most of Europe is not sustainable. People can’t bunker

Van Gogh tried to sell his art for more than the price of parts. He was unsuccessful in his life due to being ahead of the curve. Much like Betamax, he died before being appreciated.

Yes. The Swiss have safely encapsulated their waste into a building smaller than Norte Dame stadium. It will safely house their waste for centuries to come. The US doesn’t recycle its waste because the Democrats were afraid brown people wou

Let’s play make a Facebook. You need profile information. That’s information that’s access as block. We can use documents for that. We then want to track relationships. Friends. Friends of friends. We can use a graph. We might need a lightw

While I agree with this in the abstract, government force is needed to prevent a vendetta system to rise in its absence.

You can do this with a republic. California’s direct democracy has shown itself time and again to be a bad idea. People vote emotionally. They approve expenses without requiring funding. They vote property taxes down. Ultimately you need th

Direct democracy is bad. All one has to do is whip people into an emotional frenzy. Essentially you are arguing that the people should further circumscribe Individual rights like entering into a contract. Now people that made extra money, p

All of which would be banned by the government kitchens. I’ve found that people don’t really need or want choices. They want the government to take care of them from cradle to grave. No matter how crappy government, people want to give it m

The United States has done poorly because we are a country whose population hates each other. It’s a country comprised entirely of people whose ancestors said, “You know what? I hate you so much that I’d rather cross an ocean, face bears, w

Doesn’t matter. Look at those who try to ban guns and free speech. Millions use both responsibility every day. Besides science has shown little benefit to alcohol and tobacco and no benefit to junk food. What we need is to ban cooking at ho

It’s not just encourage. What we’re finding is that the government has to be authoritarian. China welded people into their homes to keep them from spreading COVID. They literally caged them like animals and threw them into trucks. Now Mexic

Why distribute the compressed air? If you have the ability to store compressed air, you can put a generator on top. When you have an overabundance of power, you run the compressor. It pushes air into large underground holding facilities bui

Why cut that check to the Feds? They have destroyed schools. Look at the American placement in international tests since the Feds took over in the 1970s. Downhill. Why have them control health? They've shown they are incompetent with M

Keep in mind that the Swiss model would be analogous to the US charging wealth taxes at a State level. One can move between cantons to reduce the tax.

Here is an article that directly contradicts your assert. It discusses how congress promised to only tax the really rich and then through drift and power grab we’re all paying taxes. https://soundmindinvesting.com/articles&#

As do I. The fact of the matter is that the cops average 11 minutes to respond in good areas. They take longer in high crime areas. Further, we've seen that the cops are generally bad people. So leave policing to the average person. If

My response is that everyone should carry. If the Klan goes nuts, the Klan gets shot. Eventually the system will react an equilibrium. I agree with your freedom of association. My only note would be that removing people from the means of fi

Don't prohibit speech. That's it. Repugnance is part of life. If you suppress speech, you only push it underground. Light is the best disinfectant. Daryl Davis, a black musician, attends Klan rallies ( https://www.youtub

Those are not necessarily at odds. Amazon does not want to collapse the US. If it did, it would collapse too.

Have to watch when applying this. I was dehydrated and in the ER. Very stressed. I hate needles and giving blood. Had to do that. Then had a sit up, stand up test. Stated to panic. Counted. Then started to pass out.
