I am financially independent. Where do I say I was almost broke? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlEC6FIWsAAMb0Q?format=jpg&name=medium

The thought policing, used as it is in combination with sensationalism, is more dangerous than Trump’s questions about injecting disinfectant. It crea...

Hey I only take medical advice from politicians.
April 26, 2020 at 02:35
Yeah I have no qualms about you guys roasting me. I figure you need it. So carry on.
April 26, 2020 at 02:16
You lied by accusing me of lying, whether by malice or stupidity, but then you keep perpetuating it.
April 26, 2020 at 02:11
That’s what I was wondering, if it’s rather a big coating of tar on the lungs that may help more than the nicotine. As for the disinfectant I went wit...
April 25, 2020 at 16:11
That’s understandable. But despair will only make things worse. Maybe it’s best to just get through this one day at a time.
April 25, 2020 at 15:59
It’s an aspect of anti-trumpism. Anyone or anything that looks favorably on the president is subject to hostility and persecution and censorship. It’s...

Any smokers? It appears that in their infinite wisdom the media was wrong about Covid-19 being horrible for smokers. It appears it’s the other way aro...

I’m with you. But if it’s one thing we can count on it is the fallibility of human prediction. Who knows? Maybe we can quickly recover.
April 25, 2020 at 00:38
I don’t know the answer to the question. Care to enlighten me?
April 25, 2020 at 00:35
Frightening forecasts. https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2020/apr/23/uk-government-borrowing-covid-19-recession-pmi-us-jobless-claims-business...

Yeah I don’t know why he’s backtracking on this one. But if idiots are pretending he suggested drinking bleach and shoving lightbulbs up their ass I s...
April 24, 2020 at 20:32
That's true. I can't see how Anarchism could be implemented through traditional party politics. I think it could only come about through collapse or d...

I think he's just curious and asking questions.
April 24, 2020 at 18:12
What about some nebulizer filled with something that kills the virus? I can only find this paper on the possibility of using ethanol solutions. Possib...
April 24, 2020 at 18:09
I think so. I don't think it would be long before others banded together to defend their property and rights.
April 24, 2020 at 18:00
The author Steven Pinker claimed he was once anarchistic until the Montreal police went on strike in 1969. The police were forced back to work to rest...
April 24, 2020 at 17:45
I disagree with that. I like being able to watch the leadership spitball and brainstorm. But maybe I am one of the few who don’t look to politicians f...
April 24, 2020 at 17:15
I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just asking how one can misconstrue Trump’s question to the doctor into an official suggestion that the public s...
April 24, 2020 at 17:06
So...he’s not a layman?
April 24, 2020 at 16:58
That’s one of the things I’m trying to figure out. I’m not sure how one can misconstrue a layman’s question to a doctor into an official suggestion th...
April 24, 2020 at 16:51
Trump’s innocent question to the doctor about how to get disinfectant into the body or lungs gets twisted into “Trump suggests injecting disinfectant ...
April 24, 2020 at 16:27
I hope I can defend any statement I make or position I hold. Which position do you wish to see me justify?
April 24, 2020 at 00:53
That’s fair. Is there any one in particular you’d like me to address?
April 24, 2020 at 00:35
I’m not attacking the author in particular, I was attacking those who scapegoat the president in general. Hence my use of the plural pronoun “they”. S...
April 24, 2020 at 00:15
I shared my opinion; you shared someone else’s. When you want to reflect on your ideas, or mine, let me know.
April 23, 2020 at 23:34
Methods certainly play a role. They almost always involve some form or other of authoritarianism, the suppression of dissent, and the oppression of th...
April 23, 2020 at 23:02
Why would I do that?
April 23, 2020 at 22:59
I think the best we can do is to find out which nations explicitly say they are/were Socialist or in the process of building socialism. So we can weig...
April 23, 2020 at 20:21
The problem is your only criticisms are about his optimism. You suspiciously leave out everything he has done while magnifying the trite, superficial ...
April 23, 2020 at 20:13
I don't think lockdowns are a good idea for the simple reason it is never a good idea to destroy one's own economy. The main reason for doing so was t...
April 23, 2020 at 18:29
And?
April 23, 2020 at 17:42
Good question. Hawaii has 12 deaths but is on strict lockdown because of the state of affairs in New York. Yet it is almost half way around the globe.
April 23, 2020 at 17:32
The scapegoating is marvellous, but predictable. It’s been the going rate for opinion pieces in The Atlantic for a few years now. Trump has already be...
April 23, 2020 at 16:36
I don’t get it. Maybe I’m counting wrong, because I’ve never used “1” to refer to the third count in a counting sequence.
April 22, 2020 at 23:36
Frightening. State-enforced economic collapse. Capitalism hasn’t failed; it was murdered by the state.
April 22, 2020 at 18:59
A hidden agenda? The agenda could not get any more explicit. The problem with Trump’s case is you cannot compare him to any other person. He’s one of ...
April 22, 2020 at 18:46
It’s wrong to assume immigrants only occupy low-grade jobs. But if a company has difficulty attracting workers they need to become more competitive on...
April 22, 2020 at 18:25
I don’t trust Trump. I would never leave the guy around my wife, for example. The best I can do is try to empathize with him.
April 22, 2020 at 18:22
The reasoning behind it is to reserve jobs for the millions of citizens who have lost theirs, not to reduce infections.
April 22, 2020 at 18:16
If 1 is to be understood through it’s role in the process of counting, wouldn’t it refer to a specific point in that particular sequence?
April 22, 2020 at 18:14
Looks like ol’ Trump is temporarily suspending immigration for 60 days due to the pandemic. Cue the cries of racism and xenophobia. https://www.wsj.co...
April 22, 2020 at 17:41
Working from your playbook...I am an introvert to disguise from the public that I’m just another scumbag.
April 22, 2020 at 17:28
You ghoulishly mock the death of my grandmother because you have can’t muster any other argument.
April 22, 2020 at 16:47
This is interesting and somewhat contrary to what we’ve been told. Low incidence of daily active tobacco smoking in patients with symptomatic COVID-19...
April 22, 2020 at 15:59
All that effort, added a little image too. I guess I have a fan.
April 22, 2020 at 15:17
What a head fake: pretend you’re defending blue-collar workers and the poor as you tacitly advocate for the criminalization of their livelihoods. I’m ...
April 22, 2020 at 06:07
I’m flattered you spent the time.
April 22, 2020 at 03:55
Just cross-reference a couple of my posts and fill in the blanks. It’s the scrupulous thing to do.
