Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?


Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.  

Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched",  "once considered",  "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."

But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.

"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal  arts" degrees"

I recently got my flu shot, which was advocated for quite fervently by health officials in an attempt to keep the strain on the medical system a minimum in preparation for this wave we are in.

Right.  Money couldn't have anything to do with it. 

One of my first surprises working in urgent care was the number of people who would come in for a flu vaccine, then turn up with the flu. There's different flu strains of course, the vaccine isn't really a flu vaccine its really just for the one or two or maybe three strains they make it for each year. 

Also none of them are immediately effective, it takes a while for your immune system to respond. 

So when these people would show up with the flu I would smartly say well its probably a different strain or its probably too soon, in other words feed them the party line. Because I was once like everyone else brainwashed into believing the party line. 

Except that within a matter of weeks I saw a whole bunch of people who had been vaccinated weeks ago, plenty long enough to be effective, who then tested positive for the exact same strain of flu the vaccine was supposed to protect against. 

Now being an x-ray tech I don't see nearly as many patients as the RNs and MAs. So I mentioned this to our most experienced MA. And he said, "Oh yeah, happens all the time." That they get the exact same flu we vaccinated against? "Yeah. All the time." 

There is by the way no wave. Again, I work in health care. Seriously wondering how long even the larger hospitals are going to be able to continue to exist at such LOW LEVELS! Your ignorance is astounding. Hospitals routinely operate at 80 to over 100%, especially ICU which are very expensive. Last thing you want is an empty bed in an ICU. Well, a lot of them are empty. But you lemmings will never know it because all you do is lap up the pabulum CNN feeds you nightly, where if they can find one in the whole country that is not empty they plaster it all over your news feed 24/7 never once mentioning the thousands of hospitals that are under-utilized.


Wow. Even worse than our usual blather.

Stubborn facts for the stubborn people, no one has refuted the fact the so-called pandemic has no excess deaths. If this is killing so many people then why doesn’t it show up in independently verifiable statistics such as Social Security benefits payments? Bottom line, when people die they stop receiving benefits. More people die, fewer benefits paid, ought to show up, don’t you think?

Oh man I love writing that question: Don’t you think? That’s the problem in a nutshell, ain’t it? You don’t think!

It really ought to show up. Especially since the highest mortality by far is among the elderly. The same demographic who also happen to make up the majority of Social Security recipients.

Kinda makes it doubly significant, doncha think?

Uh oh. There’s that word again. I’ve hit the nail on the head there.
Another thing you know nothing about, being short of breath. I was there. Remember? Nine days in hospital. 7 to 9 liters O2. No sealed tent, you are living in fantasy land. Joking about being intubated only shows just how depraved you really are. And all of it pure insult, with not one shred of evidence to back up your point or undermine mine. Which of course, because there are no such facts, only fake news and twisted insults.

The fact of the matter is this China virus is not even as deadly as Swine flu, a fact borne out in US mortality tables that show this year below average. Say again, below average.

Haven't bothered to look any of that up yourself, I can safely bet. Never will, I will double down. Its simply not in your DNA to figure anything out for yourself. Possibly tried once, failed, figured its a waste of time. Which maybe in your case it is.

See, I can throw insults too. Only try and notice the difference. In between the (richly deserved) insults there was a tight, cohesive and irrefutable argument. Try it some time. If you can.
There is no pandemic, unless you want to talk about superstitious obedience to communist talking points. There is no pandemic, because there are no excess deaths. These are not talking points. These are the facts.  

Excess deaths are just what it sounds like, more people die than normal. If there's a pandemic then for sure there must be more people dead than normal. Whatever the cause. We can set that one aside for now. Forget how fake the testing is. Forget the exaggerated causes of death. Forget all that. If the word pandemic is to have any meaning at all it must be more people die than normal.

Well, its just not happening. And we can be certain its just not happening simply by following the money. The Social Security Administration pays benefits every month. More people die, less people collecting, less money paid out. Its pretty simple.  

So you look at the graphs, and the graphs are flat. Not even a burble. There are no excess deaths. Its all fake news. Sorry. I know people have totally lost all ability to think and reason for themselves. Too bad. Don't change the facts none.
