I’m glad Elon is around just to show that Americans don’t have a monopoly on being absolute cringe

Sorta sick of hearing about this tbh. I’ve seen everyone reporting on this damn egg heist, like international papers even. Our hospitals are overflowing, massive numbers of schools having to close, due to one of the worst flu seasons and respiratory illness seasons in years. Kansas has the worst tuberculosis outbreak in a century. And of course there’s the bird flu news that gets worse by the day. And in terms of eggs, how about the price gouging going on? No let’s get all up in arms about people stealing (admittedly a ton) of eggs because of white suburbanites’ identification with the ownership class and their constant obsession with “crime.” Good for these people. I hope they get away and go on to steal even more eggs.

Okay I’ll have to go over that. I do know Weber and the Protestant work ethic, though I’ve never read it.

Ah yeah I was gonna say that sounds more like some weird American prosperity theology. Which idk I associate more with Pentecostalism? Or related movements

I still fail to see how this has to do with Calvinism. Liberals aren’t accusing conservatives of having some inherent essential characteristic of “sinfulness.” Well maybe they are, but they’re criticizing them based on political beliefs and actions. Which is what we do all the time

I thought election was based on nothing and there was no real way to tell if you were saved?

Reposting my comment from another thread, Mmw Gaza becomes the first of thiel’s “network city” crypto havens. That’s why these fascists were so obsessed with “the Palestinians could’ve had such great beachfront property!” They wanted to drive out the native population and have those who remain as laborers in their dumbass crypto dystopia.

What is political Calvinism?

Extremely surprised by this turn of events

I don’t really know how much they care at this point about the substance of trump, he is just a vessel for the desires of the everychud.

Actually they do care when it gives them a chance to own the libs by saying trump created the vaccines.

The goal is to “drain the swamp” of all federal workers to both reduce the size and capacity of the federal govt, to of course be replaced by the private sector, and purge the federal government of non-loyalists so that he can replace them with loyalists.

By doing all he’s done this past week - forced return to office, freezing funds and communication, freezing travel and just generally making it impossible for people to do their work, he gives them a reason to want to leave. He then sweetens the deal by offering buyouts to those who leave. So either stay at your job and deal with roadblocks and a toxic work environment, or take a buyout and get pay and benefits through September.

Edit: btw he did this to the USDA in his first term. Decided to move parts of the agency out to Kansas City. Many with lives and families in DC didn’t want to go. So now those offices of the USDA have been gutted. No buyout, but a similar goal, find a way to force federal workers to leave.

Except it’s just gonna be us humiliating ourselves

Ah thank you, I’ll take a look at these

Do you have info on that kid with the potential h2h transmission mutation?

Oh yeah she’s talking about Elbert county. It seems there are other flocks that were hit but Elbert County was the big one. I didn’t realize how close it was to Atlanta.

The disease seems to be spreading pretty heavily in the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways rn. Flocks are getting hit hard up the east coast and in the Midwest, esp Indiana and Ohio.

Do you have any info on this? There’s been a big outbreak in Elbert County, a portion of which is under quarantine, and they’ve upped biosecurity measures across the state. Maybe that’s what they meant? Idk of any big outbreak near Atlanta.

I’ve also seen attempts to blame supposed gain of function testing in Athens GA for the current outbreak. I haven’t looked into that at all but my first thought is it’s bullshit since it’s Peter McCullough and I’m pretty sure the timelines don’t line up. I think we’re probably just gonna be having the same arguments we had during Covid.

Michael Osterholm says it possible clouds of dust are getting kicked up that have bird feces in them, and it’s possible it’s spreading that way. I sort of don’t think there’s human transmission yet. Maybe a very low level but from what I’ve seen key mutations generally considered necessary for human transmission haven’t been found in any strains yet (although I did see a journal article today saying they found slight binding to human receptors so…). In any case only 3 cases have been unknown exposure so far.

The pause on communications has carve outs for things deemed “critical for public health.” Seems to be on a case by case basis, you need to have it approved by a hhs executive (or someone like that). The Morbitity and Mortality Weekly Report didn’t come out for the first time in 60 years, but the cdc has been able to update their bird flu tracker.
