More bad ideas happening in the state of CA.

To try to fund their health care fantasy they want to implement taxes such as this.

Under ACA 11, a new excise tax on businesses would be created equal to 2.3% of any annual gross receipts in excess of $2 million.

Espola probably thinks the above idea is sound. Husker has no idea what is going on.

Stuff like this is all pretty breezy, good for a click and that's about it. In the absence of proof, either scenario remains plausible. Like omicron for instance-did it come from ping-pong tranmission with a zoonotic rodent population? Maybe. Wanna prove it? Gotta go out and identify that population. At any event, it turns out the furin cleavage site, which is typically front and center in the CoV-2 origin controversy, is broadly found in natural coronavirus populations. Again, doesn't prove one model vs another, but does serve to illustrate how nature is a much better genetic engineer than we are.

Furin cleavage sites naturally occur in coronaviruses

The spike protein is a focused target of COVID-19, a pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. A 12-nt insertion at S1/S2 in the spike coding sequence yields a f…

The furin cleavage theory was thrown out the door rather quickly, it's easy to look up. The behavior piece is what's interesting. Servers taken off line, rush to the bat theory, closed access to the "cave". Why the rush to immedietedly surpress any talk of a lab leak? There are other behaviors that do not provide any type of definitive conclusion but certainly doesn't lend itself to exonerating wrong doing by the Wuhan Lab. From what I understand and have been told, lab leaks are normally not nefarious, usually accidental.

Disease behavior may also indicate a lab genesis. Makes for a good consipiracy conversation for sure...but many people appear to be leaning towards the accident leak theory. Zoonotic investigation so far has turned up nothing. At least omicron disease is behaving in a way that doesn't make people scratch their head as much.

Supreme Court blocks Biden Covid vaccine mandate for businesses, allows health-care worker rule

The Supreme Court ruled against the Biden administration's rule for OSHA, saying it did not have the power to require vaccination for millions of Americans.

Between the poll numbers, the Sinema fillibuster speech, the Biden press conference and the memes that went out and now this, the President is not having a very good day.

The OSHA opinion is interesting. Just speed read it....the main opinion basically argues vaccines are not like work place safety since the vaccines leave with you at the end of the day. The Gorsuch concurrence argues admin law. The dissent special emergency.

So true. I know why their in such an emergency too but no one believes that so I'll just wait over here as you guys catch up. Like I said a long time ago, this is a military sting operation on the biggest heist ever on the American peeps. Informational war instead of real war. Two choices to choose from Grace T. Right or Wrong.

You’re source is editorializing and cherry picking data.

Specific to that article on P&G and their pandemic profiteering (Lol), they’re running at 2009 margin levels in 2021…. fairly certain that costs of operations have not declined in the last decade+. They’re actually below their 5yr average of 49.53%, though the peak in the last 5 years was 53.14% in Dec of 2020 (was still less than Dec 2009’s 53.70%).

A collection of 270 medical professionals reportedly signed an open letter to Spotify asking the media platform to rein in Joe Rogan, its most listened to podcaster, whom they accuse of promoting junk science with regards to the COVID pandemic. Their chief complaint is aimed at a Dec. 31 episode...

only 270? So funny that Rogan is in everyone's head. Why didn't those 270 "professionals" get uptight about other respected and pedigreed medical professionals who've been on his show. Malone must hit a particular nerve. Mass formation psychosis must have struck a nerve

I went to Mothers for some spaghetti sauce and its $9.85 for organic bottle. The non gmo, organic, gluten free rice noodle were like $6. I got a few things and it was over $100. I told my wife I think it's cheaper to eat out now and that's what were going to now.

So they will fight over not the number itself, but if the gov was purposely underreporting the numbers.

That may be the case.

But the more interesting number is again that such a high percentage of deaths are tied into long term care facilities. This population makes up a small percentage of the overall population, but constitutes a huge percentage of overall deaths.

And yet we shut down vast swaths of our economy, schools, etc.....

The fact that the lab leak is entirely plausible and the scientists/politicians knew it indicates that the actions they took were an attempted coverup. Some might consider an attempted coverup of a plausible source of the worst pandemic in 100 years to be more than "breezy, good for a click and that's about it". To each his own.
 
Inflation is outpacing wage growth. If US metrics really aren't catching the full amount, we are looking at either a scary hyperinflation event, or more likely the Fed having to slam the breaks on the entire thing hard (and a resulting recession). I had been thinking that much like the post 1919 epidemic, with job openings and optimism, we could be set for a Roaring 20s type good times after the worst of the pandemic. But if this article is correct, we could be looking at several more years of economic and social misery (the inflation alone if the article is correct is enough to send the Ds into the wilderness for a generation....or at least until the Rs, as the always do, mess up).

Yes, there's something to the bible Proverb, "a haughty spirit goes before the fall". Historically, power engenders a haughty spirit that leads to a fall over and over and over ... I'm sure if there was a more pithy way to say it, the sentiment would be right there with the other certainties in life - death and taxes.

To each their own-yep. The "evidence" for attempted coverup seems pretty breezy to me. I'm agonostic on the origin, but wanna see something solid one way or another.
