#1, heart, #2, cancer, #3, Iatrogenic=death by doctor

Didn't really realize how bad it was until earlier this year a family member got talked into a procedure (they didn't need in the first place, colonoscopy), sent home in massive pain (with a painkiller btw which also thins your blood and conks you out), bled out in their sleep, unable to awaken as well. Big loss, incredible lady..

Is this in relation to another thread?

We don't have any User's medical history, but people who suffer chronic migraines may be prescribed analgesics (including opiates and opioids) that can cause dizziness and loss of balance. Also, hospitals injure 20% of patients; in circumstances where the standard of care calls for hospitalization, that introduces additional risks.

I remain dismayed by the tragic loss of a true favorite on PatNet. Almost everyone liked her, and everyone should have.

the threat of nuclear destruction

Blue team partisans kept saying that, but it backfired because their candidate and her surrogates had the worst risk of it, escalating the war in Syria on behalf of their Saudi sponsors. Democrats proposed killing Russians in Syria, including shooting down Russian planes in Syria ("no fly zone"), literally seconds from Armageddon. Somehow, Democrats kept saying "nuclear war" without realizing it backfired on them every time, because they could not (or refused to) see the danger from their own policies. None so blind as those who will not see. I considered carefully the risk of war on either side, and every time Democrats mentioned the issue it hardened my unwillingness to vote for their catastrophic proposals. Watch the original The Sum of all Fears (2002), with Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman, and remember Muslims are the last surviving component of the Nazis' European axis. 100k European Muslims joined the Nazi SS because of the similarity of their ideology. The Clintons have misled America into war on behalf of their Saudi sponsors time and again, killing hundreds of thousands and possibly millions, and HIllary proposed killing Russians, who can fight back in all sorts of ways including nuclear. You keep talking about existential threats, but citing examples that were worse from the blue team. Basically, you are making the case against the Democrats. You might like the Post about Why Democrats Lost because you keep bringing up reasons why Democrats lost.

The funny thing is that such biased polls backfired horribly.

Arguably, they created a sense of complacency that suppressed turnout.

jazz music says

our principal natural enemies.

If we would like to continue living, then our principal natural enemies are the people who believe they are commanded to kill us wherever they find us. They are the same people who commit the vast majority of terror attacks worldwide, because Islam commands believers to strike terror into the enemies of Allah. Democrats wanted to import more of them, and want now to have one chair the DNC. Again, you keep making a case against the Democrats, apparently without realizing it.

If you consider opioid painkillers as a larger problem of addiction and impairment rather than a smaller problem of over prescribing, than there is a larger uncounted death toll.

Seldom is anybody is going to waste money to autopsy a junkie or an addict to establish a precise cause of death, toxicology etc. all of which are expensive. The stigma of addiction leads to a lot of 'causes of death' being attributed to something other than alcohol, nicotine, narcotics, stimulants etc.

Also, there is no counting the number of non-vehicular accidental deaths caused by individuals being impaired in one way or another. The deaths that are counted are just a percentage of a much bigger uncounted and unattributed number.

I doubt that opioid painkillers, taken as prescribed for the purpose they were intended, lead to many deaths. It is going to be the non-prescribed abuse.

The drug companies? All pushers know that addicts are a boon to profits.

The fact of the matter is the many polls had Hillary up about 5%, but with a 5% or so margin of error. So one could argue that it was a tie all that time.

Then you had to figure that lots of Trump voters weren't admitting it, or else they might get fired from their job like they do at Grubhub.

I thought it was possible, but I thought it would be tighter than it was in terms of the electoral college vote. He actually blew her out pretty nicely.

NBC and even ABC had her at double digits for quite a bit.

October the FBI sought, and was granted, a secret FISA court warrant giving U.S. counter-intelligence agents permission to examine the activities of “U.S. persons” in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.

That video was from her holding cell at Happy Pines Institute for the Insane.

He wouldn't be the Trumpligula we know and love if he didn't ignore absolutely everything he said during the campaign and staff the government with the most vile bottom feeder miscreants of the swamp, who were waiting on the wings for him to be elected.

That's true. This is what TPB, dimbulb John, ZZYZZX, TLips etc have been so excited about for over a year. Finally their fantasy is a reality.

Isn't it awesome ?

And the Democrats?

Wtf ? You don't think Hillary is moderate ? She's basically a republican except on social issues.

This tweet is from last night:

Except they were never planning to close the plant. They were thinking about moving the production of one model. But hey, what a surprise he's banging away on Twitter making up shite. Very presidential. It's bizarre that he still feels the need to so blatantly lie.

They were thinking about moving the production of one model.

Yeah, to Mexico.

Thinking about rejigging production lines is not the same as closing a plant no matter how much you and Trump would like to spin it.

Are you going out of NAC into equities then?

Relative to the path we were on, prior to this election?

You had said a year ago that we were already FUBAR. This was before Trump was in the picture. That we should be building a life boat and an exit strategy. You even said that you didn't want a Democrat to win this election, because when it all comes crashing down (sometime in the next year or two), that you wanted the blood to be on Republicans hands

There may well be a boom, at least in nominal terms.

However, I do not see how the world can settle scores without resorting to a major conflict.

The election of Trump merely changes how that conflict will play out, not if or when.

Are we deadjusting for inflation now?

Peter P is sad says

However, I do not see how the world can settle scores without resorting to a major conflict.

We have just gone through the worlds longest period of peace, and currently have the lowest rates of conflict (historically speaking), ever seen. "Scores" can be settled in multitudes of ways, without going to war ... and our best generals/leaders seek just that.

Enough nationalism is going to create the conflict but conflict isn't an inevitability. The wind is blowing heavily that way. The steady diet of fear, plus economic trouble, has been quite problematic for unity. The question is not when but if we succumb to it.

Have to love the symmetry of it being 100 years since the explosive birth of 20th century and making of the modern world via WWI -> WWII.

Delaying the conflict will just make it bigger when it happens. Conflicts are kind of like earthquakes.

Lots of little conflicts ease "the big one".

Tesla can rule the world, but everything needs to go their way. Trump can throw a monkey wrench into their plans.

AAPL may get caught in the crossfire between Trump and China. I doubt a trade war will happen, but stocks trade on expectations.
