"No evidence of a need for this"

Isn't he an actual doctor, LOL?

[–]chadwickofwv 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, he is a real doctor.

The piece that pisses me off royally is treating the experience of MDs on the ground treating covid patients as misinformation. In other words, we're supposed to take the word of Fauci, who has never managed a covid case, over the word of Peter McCullough or Molly James, who have personally managed hundreds of such cases.

It's the end-game of authoritarianism. If they were only ignoring actual doctors and actual science that would be one thing. If they were only openly pretending the companies that have been fined over and over for lying and lying are somehow doing good honest corporate-science, and if they were only openly pretending that the CDC and FDA are not as corrupt as they obviously are, that would be one other thing. But they are exerting their power over people and using all their obvious collusion with corrupt drug companies and corrupt regulatory agencies as the flimsiest of excuses to do it. It's about how much disdain they have for those they rule over.

Yes, for 20 years he was a practicing doctor.

That's the problem with folks leaving Commiefornia. "I didn't give up communism. They're just not doing communism the right way out there."

Any of them that move here work remotely so we don't get the chance to give them a proper attitude adjustment at the office like we did with yankee boys back in High School.

If you're letting any of the kinds around here move into your area, you're asking to have your community destroyed. Really, it was a huge mistake to hand California over to them in the first place.

We made the mistake of rolling out a municipal Gigabit Fiber Optics Network via our local power board. We thought it would attract high tech business but what it attracted was Commiefornia remote IT workers. They show up in Birkenstocks and Subarus and don't think twice about offering $100K over local asking prices for homes. They sell their little Commiefornia shoebox house for stupid money then buy here with cash in hand. They have already run up our housing costs.

[–]Node 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Someone recently sold their 328 square foot shoebox cottage "near" (not on) the beach for over a million US dollars. Yes, that's over $3000 per square foot.

We're a little bit outside of reality here as it is, but that doesn't exactly help. It's also not unheard of for houses in the region to sell for $1,000,000 over asking price.

That million us dollars can buy 9000 acres with a house, barn, and livestock in some places.

That's between the SF bay area and LA, and going inland a ways. As for farming, keep in mind that there's at least 6 months with zero rain, and maybe up to 8 or 9 months. Hence, "golden hills" of CA.

The prices are what happens when trillions of $ are dumped into tech in a state that was already the crown jewel of US states, and housing demand exceeds supply. The rampant faggotry is what happens when conservatives abandon such a place.

This was close to 7000 acres, and looks like it sold for $44 million to become a national monument. I remember the market price being closer to $200 million before it became a political issue. A couple tech pioneers from the WWII era put up the money.

The problem is in my humble opinion, television. Instead of playing baseball and roughhousing and forming gangs with the lads, television pacifies young men.

It was young men (and gangs of young men) historically that enforced social norms.

Not just television. In general, our communications media have now so closely approached reality that most people's minds are satisfied to accept the stimulation of the media as reality. So rather than compare what they see on the screen to what's happening in real life, they have made the two equivalent. In other words, people think the image of reality they are given in print, TV, radio, social media, etc is absolutely equal to reality itself. More and more are waking up to the split between the two, but not yet enough. The equivalence of these two elements (picture of reality and reality itself) needs to be absolutely and thoroughly rejected before we can see real change. The process is happening, but it better happen more quickly. The consequences of the confusion are now very deadly indeed.

I think it goes deeper than that. With television people tend to sit on the couch and complain, "Yeah, somebody ought to go out and do something about that!"....while staying home to tune in to the next documentary.

Who would a young John Conner recruit today, if there are no men in the beerhalls to preach to?

That, and families who spoke to one another often, not just when the internet is not working.

And those video games they play on the TV when they need to get a life.

Be a good sheep now, get poisonated.

Bill de Blasio provides an amazing case study in a personality type that exemplifies so much

I'm still not sure if it's more rank stupidity or pure evil, but I'm sure it's a combination of both. I listen to him talk about "vaccines"tm , and I am shocked by the complete ignorance (combined with actively ignoring, not the same thing) of the actual effects these shots are having. I'm confident his thought process is the same species of thought used during the height of the power of the Catholic Church centuries ago. It basically goes as follows: "Here is a complex question. Because my friends and I have power and are educated in the elite schools, we have the answer to this question. Any other answers must be wrong because they don't have the benefit of our education and wisdom." In other words, consensus among the rich and powerful defines truth.

In the case of the Catholic Church, we discovered that God didn't accept that consensus, and so the Church was demonstrated to be fallible. Now we are discovering that the elites using "Science!"tm are equally out of touch with the reality they claim to be representing. Unfortunately, the reality their ignorance is creating is growing more deadly with every moment we continue down this path.

Fred Hiatt is dead. Which one is going to be the death that shocks them into thinking, "Wait a second...?"

Irish Democracy, where enough people just ignore the latest edict, is how people can really fight back.

[–]jet199 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Not the kind of Irish democracy where people turn up with balaclavas and sawn off shotguns then?

Since they can’t put a million people into Ryker’s, the law becomes meaningless.

I hope things work out for him so that he can take his company elsewhere, somewhere that you don't have to present papers to do basic ass things like buying a hamburger.
