Question 35
US intelligence agencies have assessed that Saudi Arabia is now actively manufacturing its own ballistic missiles with the help of China, CNN has learned, a development that could have significant ripple effects across the Middle East and complicate the Biden administration's efforts to restrain the nuclear ambitions of Iran, the Saudis' top regional rival.
Warren is furious about the amount of taxes Musk pays because of the loopholes in the tax code. She knows the government writes the tax code, right?
BTW, Musk did something clever to take money out of Tesla: he borrowed it, then invested it. So the money he took out was untaxed and the money he earned was gains, not income.
I’ve been vocal about my dismay over unquestioning public capitulation to wholesale rescindment of civil liberties during this pandemic. I’ve raised the alarm over the irrationality of divisive but bizarrely popular vaccine mandates and passports, when the inoculated also catch and spread this disease. I’ve decried the collusion of government, Big Tech and the mainstream media, all singing in such perfect harmony that they could go on tour as a Motown revival band. But the Covid story has not altogether been one of unrelenting conformity. Often at some cost to themselves, a range of British journalists, academics, doctors and, yes, even politicians have sung piercingly off-key.--Shriver
The Build Better payoff: There is a $1.7 billion payroll tax credit of up to $25,000 for each local journalist an organization employs in the first year and $15,000 for the next four. Employees, shareholders, and customers of corporations will pay all corporate tax increases.

Shameless.
Even in a country long recognized as one of the most prosperous on earth, the United States of America, at the beginning of the twentieth century only ten percent of American homes had flush toilets and only 3 percent had electric lights. There is nothing automatic about prosperity. Standards of living that we take for granted today have been achieved only within a very minute fraction of the history of the human race, and are by no means the norm among most of the people of the world today. Standards of living far below what we would consider to be poverty have been the norm for untold thousands of years. It is not the origins of poverty which need to be explained, since the human species began in poverty. What requires explaining are the things that created and sustained higher standards of living.--Sowell
And, from the race between insincerity and stupidity, Biden’s response to rising gasoline prices has included directing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate “anti-consumer behavior” by oil companies. And, of course, there's 'Big Meat."
Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative, and Concepts is a recently published guide that condemns several “dominant narratives” in medicine. One is the “narrative of individualism,” and its misbegotten corollary, the notion that health is a personal responsibility. A more “equitable narrative,” the guide instructs, would “expose the political roots underlying apparently ‘natural’ economic arrangements, such as property rights, market conditions, gentrification, oligopolies, and low wage rates.” The dominant narratives, it says, “create harm, undermining public health and the advancement of health equity; they must be named, disrupted, and corrected.”

The author of the guide? The AMA.
Recent data show that 3% of US workers – 4.4 million people – quit their jobs in September. That monthly quit rate is not only remarkably high; it is unheard of, especially given that the US employment-to-population ratio is still only 59.2%, almost two points below its February 2020 peak.
Having a vaccine does not stop you from getting Covid, and it doesn’t stop you from spreading Covid. So there is little to be gained from vaccine passports. Right?
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has caused tragic morbidity and mortality. In attempt to reduce this morbidity and mortality, most countries implemented population-wide lockdowns. Here we show that the lockdowns were based on several flawed assumptions, including “no one is protected until everyone is protected,” “lockdowns are highly effective to reduce transmission,” “lockdowns have a favorable cost-benefit balance,” and “lockdowns are the only effective option.” --from an abstract of a paper by Ari Joffe and David Redman
