Sounds like the White House has succeeded in pressuring the CDC to approve the Omicron booster.

I'm sure the world is super-eager to line up for a questionable booster that might protect you from a variant that has proven to be nothing more than a common cold.

Votes > Science
Hey
They tested it on 8 rats bro
So it is proven safe and effective

Do you even science?

You probably don't realize you're proving my point rather than your own.
So if people purchase things with credit instead of cash, the price goes down because...they bought the apples first?

That's ?

Keep reachin, bruh...

Apparently the first credit card was introduced in 1958. Almost like it coincides directly with the decline of the middle class.

What triggered it?
That's an expansive question, it mostly goes back to what Reagan started in the more abstract sense.

In a more direct sense, laughably irresponsible fiscal policy. You can't give out record amounts of money, while also holding 0% lending rates. It creates a ridiculous situation (and I witnessed it personally) where people who were out of work were also buying fucking houses and cars.

Did you know that there's a minimum required amount of yearly inflation as per the fed?

Many were making more not working than they were when they were working.

More money.
Less goods being produced and shipped.

That's pretty much what I've been saying.

They continually manipulate the system to create what they consider a healthy economy. And slow and steady inflation is considered healthy for an economy. Which, if it occurs organically - it probably is.

They don’t work.
When the Covid vaccine came out I spent 4 hours online reading studies on the flu shot. I was assuming it would have a similar efficacy. Best data set I found was done in California. I believe it was 10,000 people in a chain of retirement homes over 10 years.
If appeared to be 4% effective against serious illness and death.

It concluded the best determining factor to good outcomes was just general health. The fewest amount of co morbidities.

The flu vaccine may prevent serious illness. But it doesn’t keep you from getting the flu and spreading it. The same as the Rona vaccine. They just turn you into a silent super spreader and cheer you on.

Even the may was pretty damn slim.

It prevents catching the flu about 40% of the time.

You in the 70 plus crowd? I sure as fuck aren't.
