    Why? You can clearly see it in the chart. The point is where do printed dollars end up? Why isn't that part of the NPC meme of, "hurr red states get more fed funds"?

    6 - 21.5T since 2008. 15T - 21.5T since 2020.

    Which organizations and banks get the trillions of dollars printed since 2008? Do you add that to your count?

    Those were dropped and reopened when they likely knew he was going to be AG. They had 1000s of pages of testimony and came up with nothing. There is a lot of incentive to go after him since he is one of the few bucking corporate power and not playing nice with status quo.

    Sounds appalling: But for those who have closely followed his legislative career, the Florida lawmaker represents a sharp break from the corporate-friendly orthodoxy of the modern Republican Party. Indeed, Gaetz’s elevation will provide sprawling prosecutorial powers for continuing his push against special interest influence and corporate malfeasance. His record speaks for itself. From his perch on the House Judiciary Committee, Gaetz has promoted a surprisingly consumer-friendly agenda, routinely breaking with his GOP colleagues on crucial votes. He previously supported legislative measures to break up Silicon Valley monopolies, sharply regulate the online data broker industry, ban noncompete employment contracts, and an end to the practice of forced arbitration, among other corporate accountability votes. He has also taken maverick positions on reducing FBI surveillance powers, cutting certain arms supplies to Saudi Arabia and legalising marijuana.

    What you are describing is related to pregnancy increasing metabolic disorders, which we've known Covid can exacerbate. In my story those studies did not exist, however it was known there was some metabolic risk with covid. In my instance my wife was in good metabolic health. We had detailed labs. The doctor did not think to put that together coupled with us working remotely. When questioned she could not provide answers or details for why she was recommending it. It's probably true, based on the evidence above, that metabolically unhealthy pregnant women get the Covid vaccine.

    If it's new, not as likely. The Lindy effect (also known as Lindy's law[1]) is a theorized phenomenon by which the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things, like a technology or an idea, is proportional to their current age. Thus, the Lindy effect proposes the longer a period something has survived to exist or be used in the present, the longer its remaining life expectancy.

    No one is hyperbolic clearly you guys do, you are just in the minority now. I do not consent to your bet.

    Why would you think I care about Hillary's emails? Where did that come up?

    I'll take that bet. Somewhere between everyone wearing MAGA hats like they are masks in 2021 and not admitting voting for him is the truth. Hell most people already don't admit it and certainly didn't in 2020.

    I work in big tech so am familiar. Biden actually did a lot of good there.

    What do you feel about his support of banning NDAs, position on factory farming, and breaking up big tech? https://x.com/mattgaetz/status/1301581576904609794

    Yeah that was in 2024, my story was in early 2021. You still miss the impact on unknown risk in a decision. That she had no information on whether pregnant women were in the study, they were not, was enough to leave her. The menstruation issue with The Greatest Medication Ever Invented* came out in 2022: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9633189/

    Then what is your explanation why vaccine use (not counting covid) has plummeted?
  15. base698
    Low interest rates and an abundance of money from the Federal Reserve make capital more accessible and cheaper, which tends to lead to more aggressive investment strategies by venture capital (VC) and hedge funds. When borrowing costs are low, there’s an incentive for investors to seek higher returns in riskier or less established ventures, which they might avoid in a tighter monetary environment. In addition, QE causes inflated asset prices gives them more capital to work with.

    The pushback will be even worse when the VC firms, hedge funds, and banks that reside in blue states aren't getting free money to swim in.

    If you want to get Baysian about it, I agree it's probably unlikely given the track record even with the strong signals (Elon, Vance). I've see arguments that I don't fully grok, that the current make up of the government makes it basically impossible. I'm hopeful since Vance has given it lip service, Elon being involved, and Trump not having to seek reelection they can do something. Even if it's just shutting down everything on this list: https://randoland.us/ Elon started following the account today: https://x.com/Oilfield_Rando/status/1856697594233180267

    As we sat in the waiting room, my first born still in the oven, the doctor said they had the new mRNA shots ready to go and she advised my pregnant wife to get it. How many pregnant woman have gotten them? Have any babies made it to term? Where are the numbers published? Have you reviewed them? None of these questions had answers and we got another doctor.

    When someone wants to die of fentanyl or heroin in their own home, or have a cuddle puddle on MDMA at a boogie, that's all well and good. When they start stealing catalytic converters and turning neighborhoods into dystopian hellscapes then it's not about personal responsibility anymore.

    No books are not Reddit memes. Yes reading is a better way to get informed on the issues than media and social media. Words matter, people are not getting real vaccines now. Did you not read the previous arguments I made about it?

    It's not Elon's cryptocurrency, it was made in 2013. It's a meme, it's funny. Make America Funny Again.

    It's a play on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_triangle_(US_politics) but adds the media and universities to it.

    Trump and Biden both were under administrations that printed a ton of money and had reckless spending. Again, I voted for Elon who has been cheerleading fixing the budget everyday since mid summer (and had an exchange with Ron Paul about it) and Vance who acknowledged maybe the Fed needs some oversight and he's "come around" on the fed thing.

    He was buried by the press. Maybe dog piled is a better word. Snopes didn't publish that for 7 years.
