Yup, I said this was inevitable too. Didn't people tell me I was stupid when I made this prediction?

Recession was inevitable when Covid hit. The gov't & fed kept pumping money into the system to keep it afloat, but now that game has come to an end

What would I do without you

‘Before he entered politics, Zelensky was a comedian, actor and writer, starring in romantic comedies and as a high school teacher who becomes president in the Ukrainian political satire series, "Servant of the People."’

It makes sense that Hollywood has rallied around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

I think he was referring to the Soros part......

Truer words were never spoken.

But you may not have been here when I said this in the past: Throw one across my bow, and I'll throw ten back. i do not fire the first shot, but I WILL do my best to fire the last.
I have made efforts to not have to fire the ten return shots, but have been rebuked and rebuffed. In this venue, I'm not going to take the higher ground by not returning fire. Nor would I do it if someone were firing rea hardware at me.
Would you?

What mods are on that Garand to double the usual max effective range?

So why bother yourself with replying in gest if youre above it, as this quote infers?

This isn't war,.... this is dialogue. Be the bigger man without including the insolence if you expect individuals to respect your position with some tact.... simple, really.

500 yards is the military standard based on the median of your average soldiers' ability to hit a target with a 50% hit rate.

You dont need any mods other than practice to shoot 1000 yards with iron sights if you know your rifle well.

I could opt for a 30/06 ruger, or a .270 mag, but that would require multiple targets aligned upon the trajectory to justify the ammo expense to waste on non-edible meat.

Your fetal cells had a role in your initial existence. Do they play a role NOW?

Incpetion? Wasn't that a DiCaprio movie?

DNA doesn't change, but DNA is not the original cell. It's coding that gets replicated when cells reproduce. The replication is not an original. It's a new cell.
Do you think your body retains the original cells that were the zygote that subsequently became you?
It's a yes or no question.

If it's "yes", you are incorrect. If it's "no" you are correct.
So, what's your answer?

Your fetal cells play a role now, because your fetal cells determined your genetics. Your genetics impact everything about you for your entire life. What I said was correct. Dispute that.

But that's the absolute point. Anti-vaxxers and conservatives are railing against the vax because of the fetal cell involvement, when the fetal cells are not really involved at all.

The Catholic church was "run" by a number of really bad popes over the centuries. They were the absolute top dog, and they were dirty as can be. Does that mean the Catholic church should be disbanded because the primary leader was tainted, and therefore the entire downline is similarly tainted?
For fvkcs sake (is it "fvck's sake?), the pope has said the church SUPPORTS the use of the COVID vax for the greater good, but Catholics are still trying to claim "religious exemption".
How many Catholics refuse to wear mixed fabrics because it is against their religion?
Selective application of the rules. Hypocrisy.

Have the conservatives eschewed all of the other vaccines I previously mentioned and all the medicines that exist due to the existence of fetal stem cells? I would say "no".
It's just another hypocrisy. The anti-COVID-vax (and anti-mask) movement exists because Trump politicized COVID and painted prevention/avoidance as "weak".
His sycophants fell in lock-step with him. And then he got it and damn near died, and had to change his tune. But it was too late. The march was on. And it continues to this day.

It's just as much hypocrisy to stand on your soap box and act like fetal cells played no role in the vaccines...it's just as bad as people claiming the shot is full of fetal cells...

You're conflating the ideas of "role" and "include".

The cells have a role in that they allow for the "farming" of the cells to make the vaccine. They are not included nor have they ever been, in the vaccine itself.
The same cell lines have been used in plenty of vaccines and medications prior to COVID. Why the sudden outrage?
Why are people suddenly running to this moral high ground on cells that have been used since the 1970's? When did the pope ever have to say the church was OK with a vaccine?

Could it possibly be that the Trump anti-vax parade has something to do with it? Hmmmm...

I'm not conflating anything...you're trying to spin it so you can be 100% superior to anti vaxers...all the while doing the same thing they do...take part of the truth and run with it...it's OK to accept fetal cell lines were used in development and that there's no remnants of fetal cell of any kind in the vaccine...

Exactly. I’m not denying the use of fetal cells to create a downline, but anti-vaxxers are using it as an excuse to not vax.
And it’s a bullshlt hypocritical excuse.
That’s all.

Stay away from society. All good.

If you say so.

That's specifically why the Fed & gov't started printing money. You can't lose a year plus of economic activity, lose numerous small businesses, lose tons of jobs and not go into recession.

Pretty much doesn't matter now. Luckily, Covid mutated into less deadly versions, so I could careless if people wear masks or vax.

It will be interesting to see if the anti-all-vaccines crowd gains new followers now that there is a new excuse not to vax. Will my grandchildren go to schools were 25%+ of kids aren't vaccinated???
