In his defence of insurance companies, he sure makes it clear that private insurance is not good at protecting the consumer when compared to the public option. Seems like universal medical insurance is the solution based on his arguments.

Because the market isn’t as lucrative as you think? They are motivated by money just like every other corporation.

Just because a content creator can find a targeted sponsor doesn’t mean all sponsors want to advertise with that content creator. Google, as evidenced by this article doesn’t individually vet the places the ads are placed, they take a dragnet and algorithmic approach, and provide services to many advertisers.

If anything all this speaks to that there is market for even better ad targeting, that can more easily pair those controversial topics with advertisers willing to be associated with them.

Companies that pay for ads don’t like controversial topics, not sure why this is considered censorship? The content isn’t being blocked the ad companies just are not willing to monetize such topics. Getting rid of google, meta, etc… isn’t going to solve the problem.

Weird that a blog about capitalism doesn’t recognize that.

From the discussion in the paper:

> Viral myocarditis unrelated to mRNA COVID-19 vaccination are life-threatening conditions and have been reported to lead to heart failure and cardiac transplantation, or death [3]. Conversely, current scientific evidence shows that myocarditis related to COVID-19 vaccination result in a more favorable outcome with quicker resolution of symptoms [1], [2], [6].

It’s not outright false you are looking at capacity, I am talking about actual output. The last year natural gas was 10% total output, the year before was 8%. Now I agree this has not been managed well, and we are in a worse place than we were on 2019. I didn’t realize how much worse off in the last couple years it got, but we are not in a power crunch, there will be no rolling blackouts.

Ontario is almost fully renewable, and we export electricity along with Quebec, I don’t see the joke here? We don’t have a power crunch in Ontario, no need to cut corners to get this out the door quicker.

Wouldn’t that mean that infections are also a major source, as more people are infected by virus than are vaccinated by against them? Most vaccines excluding the new MRNA vaccines are just versions of the original virus, dead or weakened.

did she have children? pregnancy suppresses the immune system, many women find that auto-immune conditions go away (temporarily usually) when they are pregnant.

If the conclusions about masks is this study are true, that means most indoor spaces and just being around gas powered devices for the same time periods, or being in your car with 3 other people is dangerous to your health.

Most places that are not outside away from a co2 source, that do not have high air exchange rates have high co2 concentrations.

And you would probably be wrong as we have underestimated the intelligence of animals.

You are also allowed to believe what you want, but that’s not science.
