I have apologized many times for creating per capita, guys. I don’t know what else to do to make it right. Maybe post another black square on Facebook?

Science proves I am correct on this topic period. You have zero evidence from credible science based sources showing that vaccines did not help at all.
BTW... When do the prices come down like Trump promised??? They are going up and stocks are going down!!!!

The Dow Turned Lower. Tech Stocks Are Falling Ahead of Mag 7 Earnings Reports.

Technology stocks were dragging down the major indexes ahead of a gauntlet of key earnings reports. The S&P 500 was down 0.4% even though 280 stocks within the index were on track to close higher. A majority of the 11 major sectors were rising, but a 0.9% decline for tech was weighing on the index.

You talking the DOW stocks up 130+ points? You talking the flat NASDAQ? Sorry to burst your bubble.

Trump on right now. imo he is opening up the military to a lawsuit.

Look who doesn’t trust “the science” anymore. Science denier!!!

Does not shock me you’ve injected yourself with numerous versions of those experimental shots because the government told you to.

Does surprise me you woke up like anyone with a brain and started thinking for yourself.

I stopped after three shots & getting covid. Figured I had enough resistance. Doesn't mean I "woke up", just that I figured I was in a good enough place. If a serious outbreak occurred again with a new variant, I'd likely get another shot.

 

[vhcat70]

Oh just stop. All trumps team said was that it was the FAA and personal drones. And that’s good enough for you. No evidence, just his words so it’s fact? Let’s play this out: If Biden’s team has said exactly what trumps team said, you wouldn’t believe it,

Saying what Trump's people said is way more specific than whatever Biden's people said. Could still be a lie. Obviously you think it's a high chance. I take that as a low chance given the more specific response than previous.

Between this and price gouging, Kroger is having a rough few months.

Kroger ain't making a lot of money. Call their prices anything you want.

 

[vhcat70]

Likely having them return to the office is just step 1 when it comes to ultimately downsizing many of them. Guessing most aren’t even needed in the first place.

I think that's spot on. Likely twice too many than needed.

I stopped after three shots & getting covid.

The democrats fixation on Snowden in their questions to Gabbard have reached epic insanity.

 

[sammysdad05]

Look it’s one thing for you monsters to say DEI caused these people to crash. It’s whole other thing for the President of the f’ing US to say it. Then when he’s called out on it being around since 2013, he dodges and uses the “whole not what I read”..

All the president has to do is say they’re looking into it and provide the requisite sympathy. Pretty much easy softball answers but he can’t even do that. So when it turns out that the pilots and FAA individuals were fully qualified, does he apologize to the families for politicizing things like this?

**side note to get out in front of your stupid response of “well the left politicized this too., if they did, those people are shameful too**

 

[Tannerdad]

I stopped after three shots & getting covid. Figured I had enough resistance.

Same. Both of my doctors(one is an immunologist) actually discouraged me from getting additional shots until more studies are done. And I have RA, which is an autoimmune disease.

I’ve had COVID twice since the shots(even though Biden said we would not get COVID if we got the shots)

 

[vhcat70]

I know that rumors been around forever and this isn't the first time I've said she needs to be deported over it and a myriad of other things, such as being a terrorist sympathizer as well.

Unless citizenship revoked, can't be deported - like what happened with Nazis discovered. Maybe sent to Gitmo?

You blithering moron....no one said DEI caused the crash. Trump never said DEI caused the crash.

Get out of your bubble and listen to your hero. I guess Trump thinks it’s just common sense and obvious it caused the crash.

 

[sammysdad05]

If you think the FAA diversity program caused the crash then I don’t know what to say. If you think the FAA would put a pilot up there that’s unqualified, you’re moronic. If you think they’d put someone in charge of ATC at a busy important airport like Raegan airport just because of DEI and not because they’re qualified, then you’re dumber than I thought.

Where did he say it caused the crash? I think you posted the wrong clip because he doesn’t in that one.

 

[vhcat70]

Let's see what has recently been stated about the covic treatments-

-Didnt prevent anyone from contracting it.

Proof- I know of at LEAST 2 people that have gotten sick and tested positive for it more than 3 times after having every shot and booster. One has been sick with it 5 times now since the first one.

Also, the last administration admitted they knew it didn't provide immunity at the time they approved it.

-Didn't prevent anyone from transmitting it.

See above. Administration admitted as much recently.

-They aren't safe.

Look at the side effects list that was finally released by the govt in the last year. (This is similar to the list given to the committee that approved the EUA that included "death" as a possible side effect.) There were 7-9 pages of adverse events and possible side effects given to the committee before it was approved, including anaphylaxis, leukemia, a myriad of heart and circulatory issues including blood clots and myocarditis, severe arthritis, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, death, and stillbirth.

Where in this do the benefits outweigh anything?

While we're on the subject, WHERE and WHAT ARE the BENEFITS? Name one other than belief or placebo effect...

(And, no, I don't stand with anyone on the experimental treatments, as any scientific mind shouldn't. I stand with the truth and the evidence, which hasn't wavered from 2015-today, that these treatments have no benefit except to those who sell them.)

Saying that the shots didn't prevent ANYONE from contracting or transmitting it is speculation. The people you mention getting sick after the shots are still alive I presume. Any chance they'd be dead if they hadn't gotten the shots? My anecdote is I saw 6 people I knew die of it before the shots & none that I knew in two years after getting them. That's a benefit to me. Many treatments for many things have side effects. That doesn't mean they aren't positive treatments. My arm was sore as hell for several days after both Shingrix shots. What about chemotherapy?

As I said, to each their own.

Yes, when you type it out, focusing on DEI over merit sounds retarded. But that’s lefties for you.

 

[sammysdad05]

“How did you come to the conclusion that diversity had something to do with this crash?” Trump: “because I have common sense”.

I guess you can’t hear very well so there’s some of the words

He never said it caused the crash. Never. Good grief, you're a moron.

 

[vhcat70]

It is possible and easier to implement than you might think. I'll give you some examples of current trends that flow this direction-

-Costco requires you scan a membership card to enter.
-Sams Club has an app that let's you scan products as you shop and pay for them without going through the checkout lines.
-Most apps and online shopping have a different price listed on some items than what is on the shelf.
-Walmart already has moved towards not honoring the prices on the shelves, and instead goes only by what the register recognizes as the price.

If all of thess things are put together, you don't need facial recognition to customize prices, however they could target you for adds and price changes once you enter the store. This could cause your pricing to change in the app, and allow them to draw you into the store with prices that have changed once you walked into it. The worst part about it is that it's all part of the "X minute city" and "social scoring" that China already has implemented.

If you wear the wrong clothing into a store, your pricing could increase or they could lock you out of purchasing anything except at the price they choose. If you posted negatively about pFizer on social media, their facial recog can pull that from their data pool in real time looking for keywords, and if pFizer owns large shares of a retailer's stock, you may see that reflected in your pricing and availability in a matter of seconds or minutes.

Seems it would be pretty easy for two people to buy the same things the same day same store and compare if the prices were different. All hell would break loose if they were.

“fully qualified”.

 

[vhcat70]

So you are not happy with this progress made in one week? Let me guess, you are a lefty. Bingo.

I'm not unhappy, but it's collectively a drop in the bucket small potatoes vs. the spending cuts needed. Time will tell.

It's all part of a ground work for a social credit system. Data brokering is probably the most lucrative business in the world right now and this is the reason.

All the people who use the apps at fast food joints to get cheaper food thinks it's innocuous. They have no idea the place is building a database of their dietary choices every time they use their account. They can also sell that data.

Kroger has a huge database of all its customer's purchases. They have used it for years to target specific adds to people via mail out coupons. It would be easy to buy sensitive data from a broker and cross SQL it with their own database to produce a customized shopping prices.

Just like Amazon, only smaller.

Why don’t you post the words where he says it caused the crash rather than “some of the words” where he doesn’t?

DEI caused the Titanic to sink per Sammy. DEI allowed Bartman to have that critical seat that cost the Cubs per Sammy.

Crazy that Nancy Kerrigan of all people was able to hit the right notes on how to address this airplane crash tragedy but Trump couldn’t make it 3 minutes without embarrassing the country.

I’m not watching the hearings as they make me absurdly angry, but there HAS to be a way to change the format of these things. Right now it’s nothing more than a way for the Left in Congress to grandstand, throw out accusations, try and play “gotcha”, and give an angry campaign speech. And the worst part is that the person who is up for the nomination has to sit there and take it due to the amount of cameras in the room and the weird notion that these Senators are “above” them.

In a just world, the nominee would be able to point out how f*cking stupid or hypocritical these Senators are. It would also be nice if the Senators had to note which companies/groups/industries they have gotten all their donations from as well as their net worth changes from when they got in the Senate to when they ask the questions. And it would be REALLY nice if the Senators had to agree to a similar style questioning where they are under oath. May clean up whatever the hell these hearings currently are.

We are still waiting on you to show where Trump said "DEI caused the crash".

 

[azurricat2010]

You blithering moron....no one said DEI caused the crash. Trump never said DEI caused the crash.

ALEXANDER: The implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under Biden is demonstrably false.

TRUMP: Who said that, you?

ALEXANDER: It’s been on the FAA’s website since 2013. Why didn’t you change the policy during your first administration

REPORTER: I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash

TRUMP: Because I have common sense, ok? And unfortunately a lot of people don’t

REPORTER: Are you gonna fire some of those diversity hires?

TRUMP: I would say the answer is yes.

COLLINS: We don’t even yet know the names of the people killed and you’re blaming Dems and DEI policies. Don’t you think you’re getting ahead of the investigation?

TRUMP: No, I don’t think so

C: Does it comfort their families to hearing you blaming DEI?

R: That’s not a very smart question

…this one right above, omg, I wonder how long it’s going to take this time for these shitheads to ban Kaitlan Collins from the White House again

REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?

TRUMP: It just could have been
