Re: Religion and Vaccine Arguments

I am not any kind of expert on it, but the COVID ones are the main ones I have an issue with. They short-circuited every usual safety protocol and the reported issues are enough that would have easily gotten any drug in the past taken off. Most childhood ones have some risk, but seem to be worth it ...

Re: Religion and Vaccine Arguments

Karl Denninger has had a good write up on a lot of COVID stuff. Right now, he is concerned we could be seeing early signs of VEI (Vaccine Enhanced Infection). Not enough data to say for sure (we don't record it) and it may not become part of a dominant strain, but if so, it is going to be a problem....

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Are there still majority Russian areas in the Ukraine border states that are still under Ukrainian government control? My guess is Russia tries to annex the full Russian majority regions, but draws the line there (this would make the 3rd time Putin has done something like that). I know a good portio...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

One final note, herd immunity does not mean we get zero cases, but does mean numbers cant pick up at same rate. We'll get spikes here and there as they hit previously untouched places, but we gradually decline at that point. It becomes an issue again if we get mutations (which we probably will, this...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Sweden appears to have hit herd immunity. The press is poo pooing it, but cases have collapsed despite more testing and they never shut down (although did take some actions). That is really hard to explain any other way. Karl Denninger of Market Ticker thinks we are a few weeks behind and I'm genera...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

On the 3%, I think that will prove to be a underestimation. When they did random antibody tests in different places in the US and elsewhere in April and May, we were getting at least 10x as many people infected as official totals everywhere, sometimes far more. I suspect that has probably decreased ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

I do think China's military will adapt quick, but agree a military occuption of The Phillipeans in unlikely. Maybe as part of a wider war they are attacked and maybe bombs dropped and mass casualties. It's unlikely they directly stay there long though (although I suppose setting up a pupet governmen...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Gold/silver are tricky things. They are a hedge against inflation, but still physical objects subject declines as people use less/be controlled. I don't have nearly the savings I'd like, but I have bought some silver as it makes sense to me to have. I buy it assuming I'll lose money on it, but accep...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

It's not really the immediate effects of the riots that concern me, but the widening fault lines in general. I agree they will most likely simmer down in the not so distant future. The issue to me is that I think the fault lines are a lot greater than they were prior our last crisis period. There we...
