Now remember kids.

There's only two political parties, so vote for the one that's going to win. It feels good to be on the winning team after all.

If you'd like to be a politician, daddy wasn't part of the political elite. You're gonna have to become a communist, or corrupt billionaire before people want to vote for you.

Lying, propaganda and fear mongering is allowed provided you only do it for votes. And to curry favours for donations.

You must harshly judge everyone else on their past -- especially when they were s teen-ager saying stupid stuff on Twitter. Don't worry as a politician, you're immune.

No matter what your opponent says, even if it's a fantastic idea. Shoot it down for the greater good.

Black people and minorities are a tool for pandering to or vilifying depending on the colour of your tie. They can't think for themselves after all.

War is a fantastic way to save the economy by confusing everyone.

And that kids is how you become president of USA/Canada/France or prime minister of UK/Australia/New Zealand.

Lol good luck, shareholders/executives don't care because tomorrow everyone's going to use their cars, have their goods shipped by tankers and Tweet on their plastic covered phones.

Everyone in society decides whether or not a business/industry succeeds or fails. Not a Twitter mob.

Being Poor (2005) 5 years ago

I went from extreme poverty to extreme wealth by knowing exactly how much things cost.

AMC is my personal favourite to follow.

CEO literally said in their 10-K that if they're not at 90% capacity within 4 months, and borrow a lot of money. Then they can't maintain minimal liquidity requirements and must declare bankruptcy.

Everyone will loose their money.

Yet FOMO!

The economic deviation caused by governments over reacting is your biggest pressure. Unless you shut down all travel, bars, restaurants, schools, universities and dating.

Then all of this will come back in the future and kick you in the teeth. Either we're going to have to accept this as a way of life, which is more detrimental. Or we're pushing off the inevitable.

Christ, they deserve legitimate criticism. Just because you like them doesn't make them immune or OP wrong.

They have a marked history of missing deadlines and budget over runs. Least we forget they promised cheap international travel via rocket, without any safety mechanisms, that takes 40 minutes to get around the world, to start being operational next year.

Well it's not 100% and will wear off in 6-12 months.

You're arguing with people that already have a 99.9999% survival rate. Vaccine ain't gonna do shit for them...and as you've stated. Their lack of illness drastically reduces their infectiousness.

I see the BBC is conducting honest reviews on its own staff and its place in society.

that just means it might evolve slightly slower, not that it won't ever happen. it 100% will evolve and 100% will evade the vaccine. we've understood about evolution for a very long time, but everyone's in denial atm.

even wearing masks did fuck all because it just evolved anyway. it ain't gonna matter when you aren't wearing them.

it's barley transmitted in shops, restaurants and bars.

if schools are open, it's pointless doing anything else. if schools are closed kids will still go out and play.

basically you're screwed if you do and screwed if you don't. and less and less people will listen as time goes on while the virus mutates and selects for contagious variants.
