Those of us on Team Reality are relieved to finally hear what we’ve been saying be supported by the talking heads.
now to get rid of these moronic “Vaccine” mandates.
You kidding? She’s saying fewer people are being hurt. Of course that is good news.
Also good news that case counts in parts of the east coast (DC, NJ, MD) are starting to drop. Rest of us should follow in a week or so.
Should be calm for opening day. Go Quakes. (And yes, I’ll wear my N95 until then. Sorry.)
Grace T, just got off the phone with my plumber pal in LA. His whole crew got the jabs except for one guy. Over half of the guys who got jabbed have called in sick with sniffles, cough and they all fell like shit and he can;t fulfill his calls. No one is milking this so they can stay home either. 100% sick after triple jabs with Flurona. The one not jabbed is in high demand and working lot's of OT. The way this one side has been playing this informational war is by reflecting their shit unto us, lie, cheat and trick us as if were the bad person. Basically, Dad would say the non jabber plumber brought the Omicron and passed it to the triple protected, double mask workers and it's all his fault. My pal loves him and has learned a lot through this science experiment first hand. I sit unable to provide a living for my family unless I cave into Dads demands and roll sleeve up and take boosters forever. What pisses me off so much and so hard to take is how blind and hard hearted some people I know are. Here I am working my ass off to eat healthy and be responsible with how I treat my body and I can't go make a buck unless I take the shits. I lose 45 pounds, drink water all day ((no booze)) and I feel like a champ but I can't work my gig because. Thanks for nothing pals!!! I hurt deeply you guys and I would never want someone to be left to the curb because he refuses to roll his arm up for the team. Karma is coming though and that makes me super happyClark county pausing......

Not the big box bro and they control you all. Were so screwed. Pain is coming because they all above the law. Remember, no one is above the law? Ya, right......Have fun playing business man is this shit. Dude, the whole thing and I mean all of it except for 2% is pure gold. The rest is built on pure evil shit. Get out and wait this out. I went to get some Thai today and the place was dead. Mask wearing waitresses, host, chef but no customers. Everyone is back to waering mask. It's on. The people look like complete fools after Dr. Fraud spoke.
I think it's the high pace of the game mixed with some bat shit. WTF!!!Seriously what's up with all the footballers and heart problems. Now with Coulbaly? Is it the vaxx, COVID, a data speck we didn't realize before COVID or is there some kind of doping/drugs going around the football community that we don't know about???? I'd think it's a problem that FiFa now needs to urgently get to the bottom of. I remember there being some issues in basketball early on in the pandemic but have there been others?

I guess if you are going with a graphic from the Daily Heil, I'll have to put something from the Guardian out there to balance it out.What else has our government inflicted upon is in the don Quijote like quest to eliminate the virus?
Only inflation which hurts those that can least afford it.
The latest inflation data, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed prices in December rose to a 40-year high, climbing 7.0 percent compared with the year before.
Cost/benefit.
Ever take those kind of classes dad?
Some other thoughts on inflation, i.e. some would say profiteering - and yes there has been a cash influx, pent up demand, supply chain issues and a record saving rate in 2020 (lockdown) which all contributed to inflation - but we should also add in "profiteering" from various companies, because they can and the "market" is not really as "free" as people are told.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation refused to grant 4-year-old cancer patient Rocco DiMaggio a wish to go to Disneyworld because he is not vaccinated.
His age group, which includes his younger 2-year-old brother, is not eligible for the jab.
“It was a punch in the gut,” Rocco’s mom told Newsmax of the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s policy that led to canceling the Disneyworld opportunity.
The policy states that all families members for groups with wishes that involve air travel must be vaccinated.

OMG....this horrid Elizabeth Warren/Robert Reich type thinking. There's no such thing as "profiteering". In a market economy, prices are set by the confluence of supply and demand. If an outside entity raises prices artificially high, demand for the product will fall (and competitors will swoop in to restore equilibrium). If demand for good is set artificially low, you have shortages. It's not because corporations decide to "profiteer"....it's what the market will bear and they are just taking advantage of it, because they owe that duty to their shareholders to maximize profits (which for some businesses like the supermarket businesses is a really really very small margin).
The only way around the price equilibrium is to exercise some sort of monopoly power or for various competitors to collude to create an artificial monopoly (the point raised in the Reich piece). The oil industry is not a monopoly and the profits do not go mostly to the gas company....they go to countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia which do in fact collude to set higher oil prices. As to the rest, most of the industries are not monopolies. In the article, Reich mentions CocaCola and Pepsi, which are two distinct companies, and have several smaller competitors. If the allegation is that CocaCola and Pepsi are colluding to artificially raise prices, then that is an antitrust violation (and why the antitrust laws were created). And you know who enforces the antitrust laws? Joe Biden's DOJ and FTC. If that's really what's going on, it's Joe Biden's fault. More likely, though, this is more Robert Reich craziness as he went completely off mainstream economics some time ago. What they are really saying is they don't like capitalism and would prefer to have a more socialist driven economy....good luck with that.
In some cases, incentives are more effective than mandates.

I give espola credit. At least his worthless answers are short - unlike other members of the Borg Troll Collective. TL : DR
#22 Tennis player had breathing problems at the ADP and is out. This is serious and I feel horrible. The pressure to obey and get the Jab in order to pay and play with your life is insane. The pressure to compete and keep up in the rat race is getting dangerous as well. Jab and keep job is costing people a lot more then losing their jobs. What good is a job if your sick all the time or worse, have chest pain and even worse then pain in the chest, is die of cardiac arrest?

LOL, I was merely countering the Daily Heil nonsense, esp. as for the UK in particular, Brexit, which the Daily Heil desperately wanted has hugely impacted supply and prices, i.e. bare shelves on the UK mainland (out of the EU) vs no shortages in Northern Ireland (part of the UK but still in the EU market due to the Brexit deal), labor shortages (EU citizens left), truck driver shortages (EU citizens left), harvests rotting (EU citizens ...), UK imports most of its food (borders now so delays as out of the EU) etc.
I don't disagree with the general premise of the market rectifying, but realistically there's no quick entry to many (or even most) of these markets, so blind belief that the market will sort it out is many times unrealistic, hence we have anti-trust laws, as you point out. Also, anti-trust investigations and suits take years to run their course, as you know, so the ability of anyone to rectify these things short term is minimal, barring major intervention in the market by governments.
From my under-educated perch, its seems that costs have risen, so have prices, but companies quickly figured out that they could tack on extra PLUS they no longer had to run discount promotions etc., basically they have increased margins (via prices) while complaining about the pandemic & supply chain issues etc. raising costs, as cover. Fine for them, but it impacts everyone's pocket, those who can least afford it most but the rest of us too.
I don't think it's incorrect to call it profiteering - the word just rubs some people up the wrong way, i.e. I wasn't suggesting it was not the market at work or that anything illegal was going on. Its just companies seeing an opportunity to screw extra out of their customers in the knowledge that they have nowhere else to go in the main.
There is more to economics than supply and demand, which you may discover as you get deeper into your assigned text. For example, no society can survive if it is constructed in such a way that an elite portion of the population profits from driving the majority into poverty. That's Teddy Roosevelt conservatism.
Screw extra out of customers? Not too sure what their alternative was. Once demand outstrips potential supply, your choices are inflation and shortages.
We've seen some of each. Neither is really good for the company image.
Teddy Roosevelt’s wasn’t a class conservative. He was a progressive. Incidentally I was part of the teddy roosevelt society in college (we’d have deep philosophical debates at the table under a painting of Roosevelt).
you’ll remember his solution was enhancing the antitrust laws..the enforcement of which is what I suggested. Again, if they aren’t being enforced (or even investigated) that’s on the Biden admin. But we have a remedy for the issue reich raises thats longstanding.
there is nothing in mainstream economics that talks about the survival of societies based on wealth distribution.Ecobomics is concerned with economies except in hard left thinking. Your stripes are showing. They look a little pink. Which is pure comedy gold if the so-called “conservative” actually turns out to be a left of bernie bros socialist.
