Please and thank yous are enough to be polite to strangers.

The guy already gave his statement at a deposition. Why on earth would they kill him after the fact?

Ah, a classic correlation is not causation situation. Thanks!

So would you say that vaccines are still needed for all, or just for people like me who are immunosuppressed?

Of course, if you’re not getting an actual pay rise. Then you strike until you get a better deal or start making money without exchanging it for units of time.

Ok just going to make the counter argument if that’s ok?

They are new compared to traditional vaccines like polio and smallpox

Their view is that vaccines are now unnecessary because of herd immunity, (I’ve got them to concede that hospitals or the economy would have collapsed without vaccines), and that they are just being used up because govts signed contracts.

Their view is that the side effects risk is now higher than the benefit.

Unfortunately I’m at the age where more friends are dying than I’m making new ones lol

Thanks, that’s what I thought. They always point to the recorded side effects and I always counter with the fact that the disease is a lot lot worse than the cure, and that it’s a classic trolley problem. If the equation is kill one to save a million, you always kill one.

Or am I missing something?

Inflation means money is worth less than before and inflation is actually money creation. Higher supply means lower demand. Record profits are only records because the nominal value is higher, but the real value isn’t.

Companies operate on gross margin, so 30% margin is always 30% of the total price. The actual value is irrelevant.

A monk asked Joshu, a Chinese Zen master: `Has a dog Buddha-nature or not?'

Joshu answered: `Mu.'  

Translated Mu = no thing

Rationalise that!

That’s the fundamental difference.

Western philosophy is all about thinking, a separate sense of self, rationalism

Eastern, Buddhism, daoism etc is the opposite

Eastern philosophy > Western

Western. I think, therefore I am

Eastern. I am, therefore I think

That includes you…

The for dummies books are good if they don’t want to learn online
