> As long as vaccine side effects cause less deaths and less harm than the virus, vaccination is still the way to go.

That's not how medicine works. What would be your opinion if you were the one that was going to die? Would you still stick by your statement?

The issue is NO ONE told anyone this data. It was "suppressed" to PREVENT "vaccination hesitancy", that's the issue.

We knew this over a year ago, but it's called "acceptable risk" by the CDC. The thing is they never told us that. But it was on that document you signed when you took your jab.

You read the fine print right?

Moderna had "This is an EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE" on all thier media until not that long ago, and then they just removed that warning. We don't even have clinical trials any more.

Those Moderna shareholders are rough, once a week jab was the goal. That booster. Much upset there, when that did not go through.

They tried to push "your dog, cats, all your pets WILL need a shot!" That did not get much traction, remember that news?

Shareholders bailed. Lets all short TSLA was their next move. How markets work.

I’m unique guess in the world. We’re all going to die. If you make it to 57, awesome. After that it’s all a bonus. Take that attitude, and you really don’t put off much. You don’t turn down any invites. And do wake up with the Sun. Life is awesome!

Don’t be so afraid of death. It’s not that bad. Really.

Source: survived an NDE. Was not my time was told, but did get a great tour of the afterlife. Don’t worry so much.

And treat strangers with kindness, they were very insistent on that. They keep score. Heaven or Hell. It’s your decision.

Missed the most obvious outcome. We are in a VR simulation. We see more “clues” everyday.

Now how to work within the VR world handed to us. That’s the next steps. Soon to become apparent I’m sure.

The Ex/Pat group on FB for Portugal is massive.

All day long: we’re moving to Portugal from the USA!

Tell us more!

Yipes! :-)

Steve Jobs may have had an issue with that one. He seemed to do OK. :-)

Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.

An amazing story. Had no idea. Worth a read if into “sound” and how the Dead re/invented it.

In the end? In the USA, you get that chance to fail. Actually it’s an honor.

Rest of the world? You don’t even get that chance, the chance to fail.

So my EU friends tell me now working 100 hour weeks? Just to get that chance, to fail.

You are seen everyday by a team of MDs if in a NYC hospital. I have been in a very similar situation, yes one of those “it’s a miracle you are alive” scenarios. I was run over by a truck. There are morning rounds, EVERY patient is seen. Everyone.

MDs just don’t “stop coming by”, this is an absurd statement.

> As my discharge date approached, the occupational therapists stopped coming by and so did the doctors. After a week in the hospital, the staff were ready for me to leave, and I was, too.

I have worked with with healthcare professionals for decades, have never once met seen an MD or nurse take pleasure in seeing a patient in pain. I’ve interviewed over 10,000 people to date.

We live in two different computer simulations I guess.

It’s mushroom mania. I’m assuming they are running the show at the moment. Yes, your next boss may be a neural mushroom network.

As someone who has been trading for decades, I’m stunned the SEC has not shut them down. Zero phone support.

On a scale from 1-100. Support is a 0 for Robinhood. Ameritrade? I give them a 100+. They are amazing. And TOS trading platform is awesome.

Sure keep a few $$$s in RH and enjoy the confetti, but for larger accounts, I would NOT be using RH.

I worked at Citi for a very short time way back when. We were doing some things I thought were a bit “sketchy”, and was wondering if we were breaking the law.

The response from my boss: we’re only breaking the law if we get caught, so theoretically we’re not actually breaking the law since no one has “caught us.”

Guess there was some logic there. Of course this was a very long time ago. And sure they follow those pesky banking rules now , never, ever “breaking the law.”
