I'm a little bewildered by the people working to reignite the covid hysteria three years into the crisis. I'm not even strictly talking about people who are still concerned about getting infected, but rather those who are eager to reinstate lockdowns and other disastrous policies.

In some regions the 2020 pandemic response should have gone down as the worst state imposed public health disaster in history. It's important to keep in mind that not everywhere had the same policies, restrictions and measures. There are places that had vastly different impacts from each other and aren't always an "apples to apples" comparison.

That said, I can't respect anyone holding up China's extreme assault on their own population, and similar policies as an ideal example. If you are concerned about covid, and want to see concerted action to save lives, I would highly recommend understanding the social determinants of health. Understand that despite much of 2020 may have seemed like "taking it seriously", even with textbook public health understanding, it appears to be knee-jerk and ill-advised.

Food for thought

I still can’t believe how many troons and furries there are, it’s just unreal to me. I can’t fathom how anyone can look at themselves in the mirror and be like “yeah, I’m going to troon out or make anthropomorphic animal p*rn central to my personal identity.”

Why are people telling me to stop spending my budget on Warhammer and furry porn :(

@Guba you suck at budgeting and setting priorities and suffer the consequences of it
Spend less on entertainment and junk food and you will be fine in the long term

@TheMadPirate @xianc78 "Inheritance" tax is meant to kick down middle class families that knock on the door of wealth. Wealthy families rarely pay it. It is easy to dodge if you plan for it. Whole life insurance is a common way to dodge it. Life insurance proceeds aren't taxed, so you just put all your assets in a whole life insurance policy, and they pass untaxed to your heirs.

Income tax is also really bad because it skews incentives. Work hard, earn more, but really earn less because your tax rate just went up.

I died twice just from trying to snapshot this asshole, so this pixelated mess is the best I can do.
