Maybe a month max....

electricsurfer47 said:Found this interesting

I'm honestly curious how Marilyn Monroe is going to spin this to make it look like a win for Russia 😁

The data shows thousands of millionaires are trying to flee Russia, and the mass exit of companies and oligarchs will likely make the long-term damage from the war on the Russian economy even worse, according to a statement released Friday by the British Ministry of Defense.
'Migration App data suggests that 15,000 Russian millionaires are likely already attempting to leave,' the British Ministry reported.

Besides, they're keeping all those billions stuck in Russia... so I guess that'll be a huge hit for them...
It's like when everyone starts grabbing for straws... kind of like how things fell apart here when guys like Bernie Madoff or some big corrupt execs bailed out of the country...

silentnomad7 said:Honestly, if Germany would just start moving toward getting 10% of their power from nuclear energy, you'd see all those blackmailers absolutely losing their minds!

It’s honestly hilarious how some people think there's just some magic switch you can flip whenever you feel like it...
Like you can just switch an entire gas-reliant industry over to electricity overnight...

And they obviously don't even consider what that electricity is actually going to cost....

So NATO says Russia is to blame for inflation and there's no wiggle room here

Christian Torres3 said:If you haven't realized yet why low turnout plays right into the hands of the Republican Party, you're never going to get it.

I mean, maybe it would work if the whole USA was just one giant voting district. Then big cities could just drown out all those tiny rural towns that always vote Republican...
But with how many districts we have, I guess even high turnout wouldn't really change much.

Laura Castillo6 said:I have to disagree there. The reality is that most people aren't even showing up to the polls anymore.

It’s only when this broken version of democracy loses its grip on the vast majority of the population that we might actually stand a chance at seeing some real political change.

Another wrong take thinking those stay-at-home voters belong to someone else...
a 50% turnout gives you basically the same results as an 80% turnout
the difference would be tiny

Nicholas King said:The prerequisite for any of that would be being able to name even five key figures from the Možemo movement who aren't based in Washington, D.C. Right now, that seems like an impossible mission.

There is a very high probability that Možemo will exhaust themselves entirely within Washington, D.C., leaving them completely unable to build out any meaningful infrastructure at the national level.

I mean, all over America there are tons of independent youth lists, kind of like in a small town in Ohio or whatever, and if they could just unite under the Možemo umbrella... then maybe we'd see some national level stuff.

The matrix is at it again

Susan Martin4 said:Elementary School.

The little kids have to wear masks in the hallways, though obviously not inside the classrooms. At the PTA meeting, nobody even raised an objection.

Why didn't anyone say anything......
Do those masks even have any actual certification to protect against viruses?

Honestly, aren't you all ashamed to just stay quiet while someone plays games with our kids' health?

coastalorca43 said:Are we really counting every single drop of blood spilled by patriots now?

Exactly. We were all stuck in quarantine too, but apparently these assholes get a free pass...

Morgan Peterson said:It’s all well and good, but Mr. Garrison is—well, he’s a Floridian.
So, I am hardly surprised that Garrison lacks much local support there; you see, Hillbillies rarely stir up trouble, but when they finally do decide to rise, it is undoubtedly for a profound reason—not merely over some triviality like a bit of cloth used as a gag for a few minutes a day, but because it is better to retreat than to face the consequences, for those who survive will certainly have plenty to say. 🙂

This harassment of their children both before and within the school by a group of fanatic protesters clearly does not sit well with the majority in Appalachia, does it? Perhaps Mr. Garrison might want to start considering what sort of life awaits him and his family in that region once this entire ordeal concludes. My heart truly goes out to the little one; his father has gone to great lengths to ensure the boy is branded for the rest of his life... 🕺

Yeah, so it's the same thing every single day. People over there are just ......
Pretty soon, someone might just come knocking on your door too... staying true to the spirit of this thread, screw you guys.

Susan Martin4 said:Why don't they just stand outside the local CVS and announce they aren't wearing masks inside?
Why not picket the community clinic and demand doctors see patients without them?
Why not head to a diner and argue that eating without a mask makes no sense, yet somehow it's fine when you're using the restroom?

It’s always easiest to hide behind a kid.

The guy actually got reported several times for not wearing a mask at the mall... you guys aren't paying attention...

I don't wear one either. Not anywhere. And nobody denies me service because of it...

rowdypanther12 said:Entire classrooms are being put into isolation despite the kids wearing their masks perfectly properly.
There’s zero explanation coming from either the school district or the local news.
They're just passing the buck while nobody bothers to answer any parents' questions.

When you're all sheep...
Do those masks even have some kind of certificate proving they protect against Covid?
Why aren't you people demanding to see them?

neonfox11 said:Why on earth are they asking for a PCR test for third graders just to go on a nature school trip?
It's for the Red Cross camp on Mount Sljeme!

Because they're idiots, I guess....

Larry Walker24 said:Yeah, tell that to Milanović. The Supreme Court already ruled everything is totally legal and constitutional

Translation: basically, screw you

that’s why all those guidelines don't actually carry any legal weight, since apparently everything is already following the law....

wanderingbadger44 said:The Government is standing behind them, and the Prime Minister personally signed the decision.

The decision makes it perfectly clear that everyone is required to follow the CDC's guidelines as well as the Department of Education's models and recommendations.

II.

Elementary schools, high schools, and preschool facilities under organized management are required to act in accordance with the Guidelines for preventing and controlling the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic regarding the operation of preschools, elementary, and high schools during the 2021/2022 school year, issued by theCDC.

III.

For students in elementary and high schools during the 2021/2022 school year, instruction will be carried out according to the teaching models established in the Models and Recommendations for operating under conditions related to COVID-19 during the 2021/2022 academic year, set by theDepartment of Education.

I don't think the government even has that kind of authority

jadetinker85 said:Corona isn't really a risk for the kids themselves; the danger is for the adults living under the same roof. Usually, we're talking about parents, grandparents, and the rest of the household.

I guess that goes for the flu, chickenpox, and a bunch of other stuff too...

jadetinker85 said:Did you say something I didn't already expect? I know exactly what you're going to say before you say it. 🍿

I think my answer was a bit off... you didn't really clarify how sick those kids actually were. Like, I mean, testing positive and being isolated is one thing, but were they actually *sick* sick?

jadetinker85 said:In our neck of the woods, we lost a mother of three, a homemaker, a cook's husband, and several others are dealing with post-Corona syndrome.

I know you'll probably say, "So what? People die anyway," because your empathy is legendary. No need to even try.

If people dying is nothing, then my coworkers are dying. A former director and his wife, ........
People dying is .....

jadetinker85 said:So, 50% vaccinated, but immunity only lasts three months? In Israel, 85% of hospitalized patients are those who were double-vaccinated.

Well, I guess my point still stands—none of these measures actually stop the virus...
How many kids were actually sick last school year, and I don't mean just testing positive, but actually sick?
SO SCHOOL COULD HAVE JUST RUN TOTALLY NORMALLY WITHOUT ALL THE LOCKDOWNS OR WHATEVER.
