Expert you say? And these experts can only confirm this might happen?

Oof

If you’re upper-income, earning over $100,000, things are good … What we see with middle- and lower-income consumers, it’s actually a different story.

When had this ever not been true? What a windbag.

India and China combined is close to half the world population, though. Then again, lots of idiots elsewhere, so...

The Epstein files are the distraction. Not the other way around.

Like, seriously.

Whether she's being honest about not having feelings for you is irrelevant. Honestly, you need to learn to hold more respect for yourself and what's good for you. Hint: she absolutely is not good for you.

Also, flirtation is not a sign of anything deeper or meaningful.

Not even Signal, though. At least that might be secure. Our moron squad in charge of things used a compromised version that sends everything through a server in Israel, and I heard they broke they E2E encryption to - so you know they're keeping logs of everything.

For real?

It's just that hard to actively trust fascism or what?!

I wish I could forget about the insurance companies. Monetizing fear itself. Can we get off this timeline please?!

There's also the money involved. The pharmaceutical corporations pretty much have things rigged so they make huge profit off of any drug to market. Even those that aren't really that effective. But when it comes to vaccines, that's a pretty much a guaranteed demand.

That's a lot of dough to grease some wheels, if they needed to; no way any kind of ban like this would actually go through. Not that that should surprise anyone, after all, considering how frequently these morons turn out to be all talk, no substance.

That makes sense; gotta do what you gotta do.

Oh screw that, I would've called his bluff. The lawyer fees to prosecute a 14$ loss would put him hundreds of dollars in the hole.

First, I pay attention to if an article references an original source. If not, see if they're the only one reporting the events in question.

I also tend to look at community reactions a lot, see what other random people have to say. That's a horrible way to verify truth, but on the other end, it's the effect of the actions or events that will really matter.

And, yeah, I doubt Fox "News" has referenced an original source in decades, so I'm very skeptical of anything they report. And if they're the only ones talking about something, I generally assume it's completely false.
