WHUT? I thought Trump was just going to kick out all the illegals and fuck over China! No one told me there would be DOMESTIC consequences!! Why didn’t anyone warn me? At all his rallies he said the next 4 years would be awesome. Now I’m starting to think I was misled!

If this trend continues, by 2073 100% of youth will completely agree with it.

If the polio vaccine happened today:

“Salk’s Menace” Vaccine Spreads Fear

As the nation’s newly adopted vaccine against poliomyelitis, the inactivated poliovirus (IPV) shot, began to circulate, reports of its alleged dangers were already being touted by concerned citizens.

“This is just another example of Big Pharma trying to control our bodies,” declared Agnes Johnson, a local mother of five, who claimed she had “lived” with the symptoms of the vaccine. “I’ve been hearing stories from friends and family of children who suffered from ‘long-term’ effects” from receiving the shot.

At a recent public health meeting in Brooklyn, Dr. John Smith, a prominent anti-vaxxer, presented his research on what he called “the true story” behind the IPV. He alleged that Salk had “tainted” the vaccine with experimental ingredients, and that the vaccine was being aggressively pushed by government agencies to cover up its supposedly disastrous effects.

“I’ve seen patients come in with symptoms that were clearly caused by the ‘new’ shot,” Dr. Smith said, his voice filled with conviction. “We’re being told it’s just a minor risk, but I’m telling you, this is not safe.”

As the vaccine continued to gain acceptance across the country, another vocal critic, Rev. John Williams, took to the pulpit to warn of the alleged dangers of mass vaccination. “We are being herded onto the ‘tragedy’ of the Salk shot,” he declared to a packed church. “We must stand up against this medical monolith and reject the experimental treatments.”

Meanwhile, health officials were left scrambling to address the growing public outcry, as reported cases of vaccine-induced illness began to rise. As the nation’s top medical leaders struggled to counter the growing misinformation, Dr. Salk himself was quick to respond. “The science is on our side,” he said in a recent press conference. “We are confident that our vaccine will do more good than harm.”

Despite this reassurance, anti-vaxxers remained resolute in their claims of a government-led conspiracy, citing the supposedly “mysterious” circumstances surrounding the vaccine’s development and distribution.

As the debate over the new vaccine continues to rage, one thing is certain: the battle over public health will not be won by the voices of reason, but by the loudest and most fervent of critics. The true story of Salk’s menance is just beginning to emerge – stay tuned for further updates.

Doesn’t surprise me, but I guess I’m not a US CEO.

Wait, what CEO is surprised that Trump won’t look at data and make decisions on that? Anyone this foolish should have their stock shorted.

Now that it’s no longer trendy and doesn’t lead to increased revenue they dropped it like a rock. They didn’t do this because they believed in fairness. They did it so they could post a little press release on their site and get people to think they care (and then spend more at Walmart). Apparently there is no more direct line from their DEI programs to profit, so they are gone in one second. Just goes to show you they have no loyalty to fairness, only to their own wallet. Expecting a large corporation like this to have a heart is a mistake. They only have one interest and now it’s plain to see.

Sure, maybe at low altitudes, but try that at 1,500 feet.

If it was planes: then the FAA would be looking up whomever it is and slamming them in court and otherwise. Look at typical airspace violations – they pounce on the offenders extremely quickly and there are immediate consequences. There is an immense amount of radar coverage over the US and any “mystery plane” not flying with their ADS-B transponder can be met with a response up to and including fighter jets being scrambled.

Regarding drones, it’s pretty much a weekly occurrence that some numbnuts flies a drone in restricted airspace. The FAA have gotten very good at tracking down these folks.

So basically, both of your theories happen routinely and our government is very practiced at dealing with them.

This is so much bullshit:

Witty added that Thompson was “never content with the status quo” and praised the CEO for advocating for ideas that “were aimed at making health care more affordable, more transparent, more intuitive, more compassionate — and more human.”

Yeah, fucking sure. Here’s what happened under his watch:

• Emergency Room Visit Denials: In 2021, the company planned to deny insurance payments for non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms, a move criticized by the American Hospital Association for potentially deterring patients from seeking necessary emergency care.
• Automated Claim Denials: The company began utilizing artificial intelligence to automate claim denials, raising concerns about the fairness and accuracy of such automated processes in evaluating individual patient claims.
• Insider Trading Allegations: Thompson faced allegations of insider trading, with reports indicating he sold a significant portion of his shares shortly before a Department of Justice antitrust investigation into UnitedHealth Group became public, leading to a drop in the company’s stock price.

This is just lip service by the new boss. They could drop their rates, have more transparent claims process or any one of a hundred moves that THEY could initiate and would not require new legislation. Guess what, since that gets in the way of profit, they won’t bother. People are already getting bored of this news cycle. In another week everyone will be talking about something else and UHC will still be raking in profits taken from the wallets of cancer patients.

Actions speak louder than words and I don’t see any actions here!

Mirror bacteria are just like the normal bacteria around us every day, except if you look at them under a microscope they all have evil looking goatees.

Classic Reddit: “Reddit is meant to be a bastion of free speech”

2024 Reddit: “All hail corporate! Click on more ads!”

For someone that claims to be so data-driven, I’d be curious what data he is looking at here when he calls it a lie. I will say that it is factual that the US spends a lot of money on homelessness and we still have homelessness, but the existence of homelessness is not something I would call a lie.

Right, so then the original article would also be untrue (or at least not provable just by observing both numbers).

What question? I didn’t have time to read the comment.

Violent crime has decreased since the 1990s as video games (including violent ones) have continued to grow in popularity. If anything, this establishes that violent video games prevent violent crime.

These technically ARE UAP. They are just not extraterrestrial in origin.

This is super clickbait. What’s Trump’s actual quote?

I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will.

That doesn’t scream “backtracks on promise to me”. Actually, if anything, he’s saying that he’d still like to do it and he thinks they will. I mean, the other thing is he hasn’t even taken over, so we can’t really say he’s failed at anything. Look, I don’t like the guy very much either, but let’s save our outrage when he’s actually fucked up. Headlines like this is when some lazy editor just needs to crank a story out there.

If I asked someone if they like ice cream and they say “I’d like to get it. It’s hard not to have it, but I think I will”, the headline shouldn’t be “LOCAL MAN HATES ICE CREAM”. Fuck off lazy journalists and wake me up when something actually happens.

“light pollution surveying” or “generic scientific study”.

The problem with those excuses is they’d have to ‘own’ the drones, and clearly, they want to avoid that at this point. They are just trying to make it very boring until these drones drop out of the news cycle and America’s mad about something else for a week or two.

That said, if that was the case why don’t they pull out something akin to the tried and true “just weather balloons” excuse?

Easy, because government excuses need a veneer of belivability. Clearly, weather balloons don’t move like these objects (who, as far as I am aware, EVERYONE is calling drones), so that can’t be the excuse.

Sure, to think the Air Force / Army etc would tolerate such a blatant violation of their airspace with NO RESPONSE is crazy. It’s not like they have to fly 5000 miles like you said. They are literally right there. If America was really this powerless against drones in our airspace, then Iran, etc. would be dropping grenades on our power stations in 2 seconds. We’d be totally owned. This is VERY CLEARLY either the government themselves, or something done with the government’s agreement.

Another point – if these drones are so secret and spooky, why are many of them flying with FAA compliant safety lights? Iran / aliens worried about mid-air collisions? Awfully nice of them!
