[mowood3479]

Mowood,you’re back... the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons.
Tomwood...
.... any relation?

I will just say this.. I know @tomwoods to be a well thought out, reasonable, educated man who Is concerned with data, reality and the true costs of government interventions...
I wish we were related.
I’d call myself a woods disciple tho..the guy is leagues smarter than I’ll ever be.

Spoken like a politician. "What I was speaking about isn't what I was speaking about".

Touché.
I should say masks are grey and so are u

US billionaires have increased their wealth by over a trillion dollars in 2020.



Amazon profits up 100%.

Walmart profits up 80%.

Target profits up 80%.



All while 50 million Americans are facing food insecurity & 21% of small businesses have closed permanently.




Not sure how 2020 didn't radicalize every one into a lefty... It's almost guillotine 'o clock.

Bernie, Markey, AOC, Tlaib, and other lefties all want $1,200 to $2,000 direct payments to americans. Where's the right at? Is any elected Republican calling for this?

Seems MMT is on the menu.

I wasnt speaking of mask usage.. I was speaking of mask mandates.. do I need to explain the difference between voluntary and mandatory?
The difference between rape and consent ?
Anyway I was looking real fast for anything with the raw data, I do realize that study claims a positive relationship
Between wearing cloth masks and viral infection rates... which may or may not be true..
What the data does clearly show is that mask mandates don’t do shit for viral spread

right, because sars-cov-2 cares whether your mask wearing is voluntary or compulsory.

do you even review the bullshit that's getting ready to flow out of your fingertips?

If someone accepts that there is evidence that infection rates are reduced by wearing masks, and that mandates don't reduce the infection rates; shouldn't the argument be for better enforcement of mandates rather than fewer cases of mandates?

Because it’s the left response that has us all fucked man,
It’s the left making all these tyrannical arbitrary bullshit rules that are destroying small biz and the middle, lower class.

The left hasn’t done anything in my lifetime that’s come close to pushing me from the party like this covid bullshit.
I’ll never dream of voting for a democrat again as long as live for anything. (And I voted hrc in 16 Obama in 12 and 08..)
Never again
A lot of my circle feels this way. You’d be suprised how many working class dems have left or are leaving the party.
Tyranny isn’t a good look for liberals

Ya if ur slow and haven’t followed history ever.
How’d that work with drugs?
Or booze?
Or the war on terror?
Or anything the government prohibits?
Consent is key.


Mayb if we publicly execute anyone caught outside their home without a mask compliance rates would go up?

it’s not a given that the ends justify the means
And this is true for all government intervention
Anyway, hopefully we don’t need to learn this same lesson again the hard way... everytime
You can’t legislate morality.
Even a tyrant like Abe Lincoln knew that much.

And now the UK has a new policy - wealthy travellers don't have to quarantine. Literally. "high value business travellers".

Yes.
It’s like a big ‘fuck you’ to the rest of us.
I wouldn’t wish COVID or any bad shit on anyone, but this headline made me close...

Wow, I'm sorry sir but you is 5 g's light so therefore you must quarantine OR, the amount of money you have sir will only cover you alone, your wife will have to be in quarantine?

 

[mr.brunch]

What they’re really saying is, pay 5g for a flight and we’ll let you fly.

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died

Killer argument
Well since me and my people’s don’t matter to these democratic tyrants
I guess we will take our votes elsewhere..

Besides some fallujah shit that’s really all we can do anyway.
