    Not bad. That’s probably how we got here in the first place.

    In the spirit of Thanksgiving let’s agree to debate in good faith.
    The issue I take with your anti-discriminationism theory, Barry, is that it is not found across nature; it does not exist on a normal curve throughout nations. Perhaps you have overlooked that if PC wokeness is not naturally-occurring human behavior, it must have been foisted upon us idiot w

    See, you'd like us to accept your theory as possible until disproven, like many scientific theories, but that fact that your theory does not hold true outside of the West, IMHO, immediately disqualifies it.

    It's a pleasant theory to hold, I'll admit, in that no one is intentionally desiring to destroy us, since CoVid "just happened" in the natural course of events, much like the women in Eminem's raps don't choose to risk impregnation, but rather trip slip, and fall on some man's d*ck.

    But the longer we placate ourselves by holding this theory, while our children are muzzled to go to school and our teens are jabbed, and "workers" must be jabbed to keep their taxpaying plebe status, the more often and deeper will will all get f*cked by these d*cks! (God lord, fellow Americans, what the hell has gotten into you!?)

    Or, Barry, in the interest of honest debate, I may be misinterpreting or over-simplifying things.
    I've shared the reasons for my incredulous disagreement with your proposal - can you share why you're so averse to the "evil dicks screwing us from above" theories?

    Your avoidance-of-economic-collapse theory is too thought-provoking, and Matt's ideas here too fascinating, as well, for you to get all lazy and teenage-girl-like (whatevs!) in your response.

    Still don’t like his ambulance chasing, predatory, class action lawsuit ways but he may be right about Fauci and the CDC.
    Never in a million years did I think I would be saying that. And I give him props for marrying Cheryl Hines, she is cute as hell.
    And good for Tucker Carlson as always having points of view discussed that would never be expressed on any other network show.

    Always read Denninger: Are You Done Yet? in [Market-Ticker-Nad]

    You see, we are in a "pandemic", right? Said virus mostly sickens and kills old people. Indeed the average age of death for someone Covid-19 killed is roughly equivalent to adult life expectancy. All people over 65, for all intents and purposes, are on Medicare. People over 65 who get Covid-19 go to the hospital and there many of them die, but those who don't die run up a hell of bill, right?

    Ok, so how is it that in the fiscal year ending in September the Federal Government spent $354.3 billion on hospital charges and the year before, which I remind you was mostly before Covid-19 existed with the exception of the spring surge, it spent $404.5 billion? Oh, and the year before that, which was entirely before Covid-19 as that fiscal ended in September of 2019, CMS spent $407.1 billion on hospital services.

    How is it that by anything other than intentional misconduct designed to remove people from being on Medicare, and there's only one way to do it my friends, that during the worst alleged pandemic in 100 years which mostly seriously sickens and kills old people the government spent less on hospital care than the year prior and as said pandemic has progressed and killed even more old people said hospital spending has gone down?

    I noted this disparity in the spring when it became obvious that the Winter from Hell for our Seniors did not translate into greater hospital spending by Medicare -- in fact it was the opposite. How is that possible if the hospitals were stuffed to overflowing with older people, all of whom are on Medicare? Something doesn't jive -- perhaps we should look at whether we pulled those people forward into the hospital and stuffed them full of a drug that caused them to expire and thus not need the expensive heart surgery.

    Naw, government would never do anything like that, right? It's not like the federal government "mandated" and in fact pays a bonus even today to hospitals if they use a drug that was deemed too dangerous to give to Ebola patients, a disease that kills half of those who get it, on everyone admitted for Covid-19......

    I don’t think COVID occurred naturally.

    I don’t think political correctness is natural either. For simplicity the natural opposite would be survival of the fitness. This is well established, more or less.

    Political correctness is reflected in all elements of western society, from sports, to employment, to politics, and all sorts of things. I would guess at any magnification, the degree of political correctness mandated and followed, fall under a natural distribution, but that’s a guess.

    I believe the Western response to COVID dominated the global response in that that is where the lions share of scientific, medical, intellectual, and financial resources are. And while I may be very naive on this, I don’t believe understanding how or why the poor countries responded will help explain much w.r.t the “quarantine for all” stupidity.

    This was my initial thinking...

    Mark, I'd imagine with the number of soccer teams and players in the US, Berenson would have reported about it, don't you think?

    And the Media is the worst, maybe worse than politicians...

    Gosh, Mike, how would this even be possible? The media not reporting something?
    Thank you Gilead for this. One note... The basketball player cited - he was playing Florida State, and that game was last season. Pretty sure the vaccine wasn't out then, but I could be wrong.

    The thing about successful kooks is, you know they didn't spend their whole careers focused on convincing the world they aren't kooks. That's an important thing to know.

    Now your idea requires that Western but not poor countries intentionally act in ways that cause them to self-destruct? *I* ain't buying it.

    I think I gave your posits a fair shake in my previous post, so why do you think the "d*cks trying to screw us all over" theories are less believable than yours? Because they're too scary or reprehensible to even contemplate?

    Barry, I hope this is helping you seriously consider the validity of your hopeful theory, and not just squabble with me to earn rhetorical points.
    If you're right our kids stay muzzled and jabbed, and we, unemployed, until we eliminate affirmative action and the Left's push for equal outcomes, not opportunities, and THAT'S so unattainable in the near future that it's terrifying to think it's a prerequisite to the mandates ending.
