Question 32



Question 32

NYC is opening safe injection sites for narcotics users. Will the city now be responsible for their injury and death?

“When we set out to write a book about his crimes, we thought we knew the whole story. Before long, however, what we uncovered was compelling evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was a spy—largely for Israel’s Mossad—and allowed to operate in the United States seemingly without consequence,” Dylan Howard told Fox News. “This is a much bigger story than the world has ever known and is continually being ignored or glossed over in much of the new reporting about Epstein.”

When the WHO named the “mu” variant in August, “nu” was next in line. But the WHO decided to skip it over because officials felt the letter was too similar to the English word “new,” which could have led to a bit of confusion. Then came “xi,” but the WHO also decided to nix it because it is the same as the common last name Xi and using it would violate the organization’s guidelines to name diseases. The WHO always seeks to “avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,” the organization said in a statement.
Nothing to do with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

From a religious newsletter: For anyone who saw on television, the Jan. 6th horrific attack on the Capitol, it’s hard to understand how the Republicans in Congress can possibly describe the vicious attackers as “tourists.” Let’s call it what it is, “a fascist Republican conspiracy” and they are the conspirators.

The Nordhaus model concludes that the optimal carbon tax, given the goal to reduce carbon usage, is $40 per ton. This will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars over years. But what, someone asked, if a geo-engineering solution that doesn’t involve reducing carbon costs only $1 billion?

NYC's public schools spend nearly $30,000 a year per student.

Candidate Gov. McAuliffe, on Oct. 7, claimed that 1,142 children were in ICU beds. For the week ended Oct. 2, the number of all children in hospitals, not necessarily in intensive care, was just 35. On October 21 there were only 334 people (of all ages) in ICU beds in Virginia, according to the state health department data. So, are we supposed to take these people seriously?

President Biden said about the multi-trillion-dollar spending plan’s cost, “We pay for everything we spend. It’s going to be zero. Zero."

Since the 1920s, the global death rate from extreme weather events, for instance, has fallen by 98% despite the tripling of the world’s population. Average global life expectancy at birth in 1850 was just over 29 years; a century later it was over 45 years, and in 2019, it was almost 73 years. In 1820, almost 90% of the global population lived in absolute poverty. By 2015, this had dropped to less than 10% despite a sevenfold increase in world population.--Forbes

Even assuming meager 2 percent growth, U.S. GDP in 2100 will be 400 percent larger than now. At 3 percent compounded growth, there will be 1,000 percent more GDP than now. From 1940 to 2000 there was 3.8 percent compound annual growth, and GDP increased 10-fold.

The White House on Monday said businesses should move forward with the vaccine mandate requirements despite the court-ordered pause. Persuasion takes time and effort and is less efficient than other available methods for achieving the desired results. In a democratic republic, this is a fundamental corruption of power according to Plato. And, because technocratic elites are inclined to regard the unsophisticated many as cognitively impaired, in the Beautiful City of the Republic, the rulers’ lies are justified on the ground that one wouldn’t give weapons to madmen.

According to the latest figures from the CDC, in the U.S. 75 percent of “deaths involving COVID-19” are of people 65 years old and older, with people 85 years old and older accounting for a whopping 27 percent of all Covid deaths. The percentage of Covid deaths of people below the age of 50 is a mere six. The risk posed by Covid to the very young is minuscule. As summarized on Twitter by Stanford medical professor Jay Bhattacharya, “Mortality from #COVID19 differs more than a thousand-fold between the old and young.”

Vlad. Putin is short, he wouldn’t get many rebounds if they were playing basketball. Presuming Vlad doesn’t cheat.
However this is no game. Biden won’t stand a chance.
