Been saying this a while, but over the weekend I took a deeper dive.
If you're a young man (less than 30) or the parent of one, you really need to investigate the risk of heart issues caused by the vaccine before getting an mRNA vaccine.
People say that covid is more likely to
cause heart issues, but the study that everyone uses to back this up was comparing the rate of myocarditis in people who were hospitalized with covid to the rate of hospitalization for vaccine-caused myocarditis.
That's not the right comparison; you want to compare myocarditis
in everyone who gets covid (included those who do not know or never get tested, which is hard to do!) to the rate of any myocarditis in people who get vaccinated.
Further, if you've already been infected with covid you have stronger longer lasting protection than any vaccine.
Even further, I haven't been following it too closely but it's possible that omicron is super mild and is vaccine evading.
Ppl can say that we've known about mRNA for years, but the idea that jacking yourself up with a new therapeutic every 6 months isn't an experiment is a joke
Sources for what I'm saying re: myocarditis read through this thread/argument (scroll up and down):
I understood how exponential spread worked and how psychological self-reinforcing inflation cycles worked because I guess I think differently from most people or something.
Anyways, so here is my prediction:
With a democratic legislature through 2022 and and the Fed's head in the sand, we're not going to increase interest rates in a way that is meaningful enough to a reduction in the inflation rate. If you look at wages and the fact there have not been this few job openings since
I think it's massively overrated, especially in the United States.
Here is why:
The stated reason for charity is to help others, but in reality, most charity is actually about helping yourself, eg to signal virtue, repair your reputation, put your name on a building for status, establish that you're ina group, or at best to make yourself feel better.
There are too many tax tricks associated with charity in the United States.
If you make a big cash windfall, set up your own charity, donate all the money to it, and don't pay any taxes until you want to do a withdrawal.
That's not in the spirit of the intention of the law.
Update on the battle between the USA and China for global dominance.
1. China accounts for ~20% of all science and engineering papers globally, more than the US 2. The papers published are increasingly among the most cited in the world, no longer just replication and fraud.
🧵
3. China graduates significantly more STEM PhDs than the United States and the gap is widening. 4. Chinese students who attend foreign universities are increasingly returning to china for work, reversing their brain drain.
5. Chinese universities are increasingly offering big money bounties to attract the best international researchers. 6. For many fields, it is easier to do research in China. No complaints from animal-rights activists, fewer restrictions on private medical data.
Contrary to popular belief, I predict companies will unplug noncritical SAAS services in a recession.
SAAS is mostly cloud based today and the cloud was post 2008. Most SAAS has never seen a recession.
This and SAAS not having reached market saturation make it’s revenue
1/2
appear more stable than it is actually.
If I invent a new product in 1929, it doesn’t matter that 1931 is the depression, I’ll sell more that year than I did during 1929 boom times when our product was barely on the market.
E-commerce grew in 2009 & 2010, consumer spending
2/n
did not.
SAAS, is running out of virgin customers so when a recession hits, the monthly recurring revenue will not pay the saas vendors like first lien debt unless it’s absolutely critical software, which will also take a hit. See SAP’s revenue in 2009.
Most prime customers who see Amazon sellers complain just think “don’t know what these guys are talking about. Amazon is great.”
Here’s a short little of thread of some of things they’ve done to me, my company, employees, and our account over the years.
1/n
1. Accidentally deleted my account 2. Wrongfully accused us of review and search rank manipulation 3. Wrongly identified our hero sku as being manipulated so they put it as the 32nd result for all search keywords 4. Refused to act when my employee was counterfeiting me
2/n
because we didn’t have a registered tm. 5. Refused to act when we got 1 star review bombed and upvoted. I told them I’d go non-anonymous to the press (at the time no one had done that with an active account) and I did.
I have a huge folder in my cloud drive of more shit
3/n
