Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 66

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-09 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)The economy that produced actual, useful things and employed actual, useful people died years ago in North America and throughout the West. To be sure, in the US especially, there is still a huge manufacturing sector. However, it is all high-tech and robotic and, as such, does not contribute much to the creation of a middle-class that is vital for a consumer society. The robotic society overwhelmingly benefits the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab and his evil minions and that's about it. Ditto for Facebook, Twitter and all the other, frankly useless "services". I'd add the financial sector to this list.
An economy that produces only discord, financial chicanery and smoke and mirrors is of benefit only to the grifters and thieves and con men that run the West for their own benefit.
Let it die.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-09 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)It seems disturbingly plausible to me that we may see some massive disruptions to the internet in the next few years as the process of figuring out what parts of it are economically viable works itself out, and a lot of what currently seems viable may not survive the collapse of the speculative end of the internet.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-09 09:26 am (UTC)(link)My prediction: 3 months ago
Since we are here prediction for The Roman year 218, which means next (3-4) months for the US:
Roman Empire
Global American Empire
Kamala Harris, a transsexual or someone who is openly sexually promiscuous become president
Global American Empire
next president is capable to revive a bit the Democratic fight, and people like Elon Musk and other liberal dissident are reigned in or economically exile one way or another.
Global American Empire
Starlink company won't survive the next 3-4 months
Global American Empire
Major economic decline akin to 2008 in next 3-4 months US production might decline serious percents up to 7%, Permian will peak and decline. Serious economic turmoil. Increased inflation almost to hyperinflation limits, shortages $8 to $10 a gallon for Diesel, in cases even $12,
Elagabalus starts his reign in AD 218 and this might mean the following for the Global American Empire:
A president more oriented on the WEF trans agenda, increased discontent among the population.
A president more vocal to the WEF "secular" religion.

Can Dementia Joe pass the scepter onto his son, monarchy-style? Hunter would rock the White House (what an appropriately named place for Hunter) and he's promiscuous enough. Party time!!!

Now they are vaccinated, losing their health insurance at some point, and are now scrambling to figure out employment.
Feels like karmic blowback a bit.
