nothing lasts forever but this inflation is not simply transitory governments continue to spend like drunken sailors and print more money while implementing measures that decrease productivity and as long as that continues high levels of inflation will follow it's not a direct consequence of covid that is causing inflation it's a direct consequence of government policy during covid that is causing it and the governments are in no hurry to stop shooting themselves in the foot obvious self inflicted wound is obvious idiotic policies have consequences, who knew?

how far in that direction do we need to go? because the world getting closer to that than where we are at present would mean the starvation of billions therefore that is not a sustainable lifestyle, at all it's in fact the exact opposite

it already is to the point that the population will start shrinking before we reach 10 billion

you do not like Khabib Nurmagomedov? terrible take sit down be humble

nah BC is shitting the bed and caving to fake environmentalists resulting in bad forest management, they need to cut down more trees in strategic locations BC is simply getting away with having so many trees that the bad management doesn't hurt as much as it would if they had Sweden's resources California is worse, the USFS used to be one best operating government agencies prior to 1970's, now it's among the worst these forest fires ain't climate change related it's bad forest management as demanded by the fake environmentalists related

no need to shut down air travel that doesn't stop covid from spreading anymore than lockdowns, mask mandates or vax mandates do aside from being outdoors, being in a commercial airliner is as safe from covid transmission as you can get while still being indoors HEPA filters ftw this information has been available for well over a year and still people keep bitching about air travel as if it is a primary transmission vector when the exact opposite is the case time to update the thinking on that it ain't March 2020 anymore there is no reasonable excuse to react like it is with nonsensical travel bans

so you have finally caught on to the media's covid fearmongering without any scientific basis? welcome to the party better late than never they were doing it long before Omicron nice of you to finally notice

you can be in favor of something, but opposed to it being mandatory you can be against something, but not in favor of it being banned smart people understand this not Boges though he thinks only anti-vaxxers oppose vax mandates

you are free to move on I am free to disregard your suggestion you are not entitled to spew nonsensical garbage unchallenged that is not how this forum works welcome to the internet learn to cope if you want to spew nonsense unchallenged go find a safe space where everyone agrees with your nonsense and no one will challenge you otherwise don't whine to me about someone challenging your bullshit this ain't your safe space

humanity has never lived a more sustainable way of life going back to the pre-industrial era is far less sustainable when do you think this mythical sustainable way of life was? you have nostalgia for a society that never was and this love of a fictious moment in human history is what drives your resentment for the present which is better than the past by several orders of magnitude things get more sustainable all the time and yet you whine and bitch that isn't perfect and have nostalgia for a far less sustainable time that you somehow believe was more sustainable? fake environmentalists are total nut jobs, this is a prime example of that

wrong plenty of pro vax people are anti vax mandates and rightfully so you just aren't one of them

ok Bodie

the variant has been here for months shutting down travel makes no sense as usual you support the government totally overreacting to things that doesn't make it a good idea

didn't make any difference Omicron got here long before they did

that ship sailed long ago we beat the commies in the cold war but now the commies run the joint and are thoroughly entrenched that's a pretty lame "victory"

now who is the mindreader? throw more stones from your glass house, character assassinator

that's a strawman yet it's still closer to the mark than than the system is just following the science and the draconian crackdowns are helping the actual truth is the road to hell is paved with good intentions those shouting science the loudest know the least about it and think they are helping when they just make the problem worse out of ignorance and these are the people making the calls not actual experts who get railroaded by these captains of empathy at every turn the ones making the calls their feelings don't care about the facts anyone stating facts the contradict their feelings will be cancelled confirmation bias is a helluva drug

the places with the least heavy handed approaches are having the best results and the places with the most heavy handed approaches are having the worst results also the places with the most heavy handed approaches do far more collateral damage than the places with the least heavy handed approaches the data shows that the little, if any help that draconian lockdowns and mandates do is vastly outweighed by the damage done by them but the politicians, public health officials and general public don't give a shit about the science especially those invoking it the most and the loudest that's just a bullshit justification that total rubes buy into it's all about instilling a false sense of security in general public being used to gain approval for more of the politicians and public health officials central planning schemes compliance over science the feigned altruism is simply a facade to assist the endemic corruption achieve their blatant power grabs

as if public health or the politicians are any better better that some are allowed to make the right call rather than everyone being forced to make the wrong one fuck centrally planned risk assessments and the horse they rode in on they do more damage than they help, a large chunk of the time especially in regards to covid

they received at least 86% of the vote and won 306 seats in 2021 they totally dominate Canadian politics

the day that Canada moved out of Britain's basement and into America's attic

I work in a retirement residence so I've anecdotally seen a pretty large sample size most were totally fine several had minor bad reactions one was hospitalized twice by it none of them died from it

Chicom Biolab Chernobyl saying it came from elsewhere seems like the outlandish conspiracy theory at this point

the vast majority of those who gamble are long term losers I am a rare exception indeed tip number one don't try to win your money back chasing loses leads to bad bets lack of patience and discipline are a big reason why most people lose don't let swings in momentum change the way you bet tip number two stick to what you are good at for example I'm only a proven long term winner betting on MMA particularly live betting MMA when I try to bet other sports I either barely win, break even or lose long term so I stopped betting them and save that money for MMA bets instead ROI FTW tip number three don't bet for fun, bet to win bet with your head, not your heart take the emotion out of it as much as possible it's not personal, just business another big reason why most lose long term, they bet for the sake of betting they bet for fun or bet on who they want to win instead of looking for a poorly set line to exploit tip number four only bet if the line isn't set properly you're looking for value don't even bet on who you think is going to win be a shark circling waiting for the odds makers to give you value if there is no value, the best bet, is no bet for example if I think someone is likely to win 66% of time but the linesmaker sets the line at -250 betting on the likely winner loses you money in the long run, even if you win that bet in the short term or say there is a coin flip but they give you +200 even if you lose more coin flips than you win you're gonna to come out ahead it's all about value tip number five focus on the process, not the outcome focus on the long term, not the short term if you are placing good bets consistently, you will win more long term you can place bad bets that win and place good bets that lose I would rather place a good bet that loses, than a bad bet that wins because while that results in a short term loss in the long run things will work themselves out focus on what you can control I can't control the outcome but I can control the process process, process, process this attitude also makes it easier to handle losses mentally and avoid going on tilt tip number six scale the size of your bets relative to your bankroll the bigger the bankroll the larger the bet and vice versa for sports betting I never bet more than 20% of my bankroll, even on a lock and I usually don't bet more than 5% or 10% the vast majority of my bets never put all your eggs in one basket diversification ftw

then why do you support the vax mandates?
