Most published medical research is wrong...

"Freedom of speech does not exempt us from suffering consequences" -- how many times have I heard that in the last few years?

Some people just cannot tolerate free speech. They have to use any method to shut it down including ad hom attacks and using labels like ‘cult’. He’s owned the platform for a few weeks. What changes do you expect are possible in that time?

It seemed like a PR move that went horribly wrong. He got trapped by the offer that he probably thought he could back out of. I am sure he's all for free speech, but he tried so hard to kill the deal it makes me think he never really wanted it.

"no one was talking about "the left" or "the right" until you brought it up", really?

The fact is some of the criticism of him is legit and I personally don't like the way Elon has promoted Tesla (bordering on fraud). But it's obvious the outrage is mostly selective. So Elon firing his well paid staff is worse than Apples hordes of child labor for years? Compare the reaction.

Well they didn't boast about it being up until Twitter failing became a popular prediction on the left.

"decent access to healthcare from rural areas with a car." It's the car part... She's wheelchair bound and probably can't afford a car let alone one she could drive.

I tend to agree. Would be interested to hear what her family thinks.

She may need access to medical care? Rural healthcare is really bad.

What compels non-Americans to deny the obvious truth? I guess they are just idiots who don't study history. You need to read some more. The way Socialist ideas played out in the American and European context are widely different. For Europe socialist ideas more directly influenced government policies and parties. In the US the effect was most directly seen in the labor union movement. Many people credit the labor unions as a reason there was no large communist party in the US. Saying Socialist ideas had/have greater influence in Europe is just obvious.

The EU is so protective of consumer rights, but not of personal rights with respect to governments. Seems odd, but is a result of socialist influence. In the US we have more protection against government abuse and less corporate. But it ends up being the worst of all worlds because the government just uses the corporations to provide the data they could/would never have access to.

It seems like a way to figure out if some people are actually coding. They might be faking it or maybe doing a lot of StackOverflow copy pasta. Print out something you’ve written recently so we can talk about it. Not defending, but that’s the most likely explanation.

Who do I complain to get my money from holding USD?

God I hate to say it, but Bitcoin fixes this (with the Lightning Network). https://lightning.network/

I am not a Maxi, but Jesus what other options are there?

Right, I just don't know how it's 'quick'. So much of inflation is supply side and not controlled by the Fed. They have to crush it hard and it may last a decade.

The Yield curve, Mortgage Rates, Bonds and Asset Prices are all in bad shape. Combined with rapidly falling income (due to 15%+ real inflation) it's a disaster in the making. Homes will likely fall 30-35% in adjusted value in the next 12 months. A lot of people's net worth is in their homes. This will be the largest post WWII drop in home prices. Don't forget the strong dollar is crushing economies around the world, who are our trading partners (and creditors).

"There is a lot of evidence that points to the virus spreading from a wet market in the city"

Spreading, yes. Originating no. Note:

This article uses two preprint papers one of which was changed before publication and the other doesn't support zoonotic origin:

It would never take place between animals that don't naturally cohabitate.

Wait you think Marx was pro science? He denied the supernatural, but like all ideologies reality is secondary to dogmatism. Don't forget he was routed in Hegel.

See Lysenkoism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism

Marx's ideas were refined by Antonio Gramsci who offered social Hegemony as a means to achieve the utopia. To the extent that science is a sense-making part of society it must be taken over by pro-marxist/communist forces. It's the only way to assure the success of marxism.

In this case far-left mean groups that are opposed to objectivity and support adding bias to science. This is the 2+2=5 crowd. They can believe whatever they want, but this is not science and is born out of neo-Marxist ideology.

They clearly support a left ideology by the editors, but I’m not even talking about that. I mean they send money to support far left anti-science groups.

It’s not just they are flush with cash. It’s they are funding and fanning the culture war despite claiming to be a neutral party. Some of their funds are being routed to political entities that are not neutral.

Edit: here’s a link to a thread about what I mean:

New headline. "Small underpowered study is published"

This might mean something as part of a meta analysis, but means nothing here.

I think you mean... tl;dr; bitcoin is less wasteful and promotes global peace.

QUIC is a TCP replacement for many uses, just not all. It (or something like it) will probably the dominant protocol in the future.

He talks about it here:

"it is indisputable that Biden was an avid supporter of the 2005 bill as a whole and of its overall thrust of tightening up the bankruptcy code largely to the benefit of lenders at the expense of distressed families who would find it harder to file for bankruptcy."

"he used his leadership role to limit the ability of other Democrats who had concerns and who wanted the bill softened"

"Senator Biden supports legislation that will fall hardest on women,” she wrote. “Why? The answer will have to come from him … He is a zealous advocate on behalf of one of his biggest contributors – the financial services industry.” -- E Warren in 2005

Biden helped negotiate that bill.

50% of all published research is false, lets start there to understand why people reject 'consensus' and prefer their own interpretation of facts.

Another lazy rhetorical tactic, Association Fallacy. Not everyone is making all those claims, in fact I only made one: The lab leak is still a better explanation for the origin of COVID.
