Careful you wouldn't want to knee the keyboard in the balls and give yourself a dead leg on top of your hurt leg ;)

Quite, and they are probably lining up Coronavirus to blame for the economic hit. There are some big holes in this strategy though and a risk that the...

I doubt it, he could claim he was coerced. It has to be something weak* which he can't possibly blame on someone else. It's interesting the thought ha...

Nice article.

Have you revealed a hidden mystic in there? Those memes sounds familiar.

Such an excellent description of Trump and you didn't even know you were doing it.
April 23, 2020 at 06:00
Are you sure about that ( to the extent that it is relevant o the argument). It's not that simple, it's the kind of work. British workers won't do the...

Time to give some help ( subs) to international organisations put in place to help with such crises. Rather than let vanity get in the way.

I have to agree with this. The bottom line is that we have to adjust to a way of living which limits the spread of the virus sufficiently that it can ...

I suggest you take a look at DuPont and their antics with Ammonium perfluorooctanoate (C8) and other chemicals for example.

Yes, there are some geneticists looking into a genetic disposition. It makes sense to me, but I'm no expert.

I saw the protests against lockdown in the US and Trump announcing premature opening up of lockdowns. Looks like it's going to get fruity over there.
