When medical agencies are getting paid $30000 for classifying a death as COVID-19 caused, do you think there might be just a bit of over-reporting to get extra money?

I'm sure the biggest hospitals have administrators working extra hard to "reclassify" EVERY SINGLE DEATH as COVID-19 related. How could they justify not taking free money? Our shareholders DEMAND IT!

This is known as a "perverse incentive." A similar case occurred when the government began rating every airline for "on-time performance." The metric was based on "pushback" from the gate - not actual wheels-up time. To avoid bad numbers, what did every airline do? Padded all takeoffs by 30 minutes. Now, the airplane pushes back on time, every time. So EVERY consumer who flies has to waste their time (that was about 2 million people per day before COVID-19) for a perverse government metric.

Large number sound scary without proper context.

From CDC: Death rate is less than half of a percent, so more than 200 people have to be infected before one dies.

This is good to point out. It needs another layer though. The demographics all point to people that have lived a full life. I've said it before, I don't want anyone to die, but we have to look at the data and what's happening. This number is closer to 1 in 2,000 for people under the age of 60 (I'm making this up, but I'm probably being conservative). There's a way to protect these people. Not complicated.

We're shutting down people that are productive to save some old people that likely lived poorly and would have survived this if it wasn't for their own shit decisions. Or they're just fucking old. It makes no sense.

Face it. This won't end, much less make sense, until the election is over, and the Dems have stuffed the ballot boxes with mail in ballots.

You two are free to have your own threads. I won’t interfere.

“Socialism needs to pull down wealth; liberalism seeks to raise up poverty. Socialism would destroy private interests, Liberalism would preserve [them] ... by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the preeminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks ... to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capitalism; Liberalism attacks monopoly.” —Winston S. Churchill

"Liberalism" in Great Britten in the 1950s meant promoting "liberty" — pretty much what the Bill of Rights attempts to do. That is very far removed from what "liberalism" means in the USA today.

Can't expect Jazz to actually know about such facts, can we?

Or know the difference between "your" and "you're."

Great etymology there.

The Indo-European sky god was known as "deus pater" in Latin, Jupiter and Zeus from the same origin.

Those that are drinking the kool-aid can't begin to fathom how it all appears to those not in the cult. That is those outside the cult looking at the whole thing objectively. Including even many well known conservatives.

Sure, some people won't change their mind and challenge the wrong things Trump has done. He's said some stupid stuff no doubt and I hate this virus response. But there's clear and present evidence that there's more crazy on the left/Democrat side. The Presidential candidate for POTUS is Joe Biden. Trump can be an idiot, but Joe is fucking 1' away from being 6' under. His recent gaff is in the image OC posted above. How the fuck do you say that? And if you don't think the guy is pedo level creepy, than you're not paying attention.

If there's not a better alternative, I'm not sure how it can keep being labeled a cult here. You can claim that Joe Biden is better, but anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see he's completely lost it at this point. This is coming from someone that didn't vote for him (Trump) and I have bashed him on this very site. I will vote for him because Democrats failed and have been failing since the start of Obama's 2nd term. Is this not obvious to see for you guys? You're on the wrong side of history and you want to double down on it. We'd all probably get along if we met each other without knowing user names here, but can you not see the point of view I'm talking about here? You're blinded by the hate for a brash New Yorker.

conspiracy to gain power by any means.

Like Blasey-Fording a SCOTUS candidate?

Or fake russian conspiracy investigations?

Or fake Ukraine impeachments?

Or fake HCQ outrage?

That affidavit makes it clear that voters’ requests for ballots were alleged to have been illegally altered; the alterations did not occur on ballots themselves.

So a total of 5 people got sent Republican ballots instead of Democrat ballots for a primary. That sure makes up for boxes of ballots found in car trunks and ballot harvesting. Even so, it shows we more security with our elections, in part by using mail in ballots only when really necessary, plus voter ID.

More reasons to not allow mail fraud voting, Trump is right.

Our elections are a joke considering every single person can rig it if they are willing to lift their finger.

Looks like the left is back to its old standby --- calling everyone racist

With Covid-19 getting all the press recently, there just weren't any stories about Trump/racist

Had to use a story from back in December 2015. He hadn't even run for president, yet.

Funny running a headline from 2015. I guess in the left's opinion everything he's done since then must be ok, since his "Most vicious lie" was back in 2015.

So this ^ is the biggest baddest lie that you can find Trump making?

Well it isn’t a lie and it is from five years ago. I guess he’s been fairly “truthful” since then according to mR. panther.

jazz_music says

That doesn't follow. It's eye-popping flabbergasting what people will do with the right dogwhistles blasting, fears and prejudices jabbing at them every where they turn.

Sure it does.

The House Majority Leader was 110% a COC-Sucker favorite, big business Neoliberal.

He was primaried out by the Grassroots in a complete shock to the Republican Establishment.

The equivalent of Nancy Pelosi losing her Congressional Seat Primary to somebody like Occasional-Cortex. Happens maybe once a century.

Not something a big business backed Astroturf Org would like, in either case.

I started the Tea Party because I didn't like the Liberals on Patnet.

I really out did myself, the conservatives were getting fat and lazy, boy did I ever whip them into shape and convince Donald Trump to run for President and showed him how to win.
Once he understood how to manipulate the Tea Party members I created, the rest was quite easy. The Liberal media did the rest for me. People got fed up with the Commie Mother Fuckers bullshit quicker than I thought they would.

I'm quite proud of my accomplishment, not bad for a Toxic White Male, huh?

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-3.xls

Blacks are 12-14% of population and commit almost half of all murders.

Whites 61% of population killed 243 blacks
Blacks 13% of population killed 533 whites
These are just homicides.

But was it peer reviewed?

So most of your counter is random videos from bitchute, bravo.

Why don't you tell me why the FBI stats show blacks cause vastly more violent crimes than any other group for being such a minority? How can a group of people that equal around 13% cause so much harm to everyone including themselves and be totally ignored? Even my black friends don't want to live near other blacks, first thing my black friend that moved to Philly asked the agent finding his home was I don't want to live near any black people. Time and time again blacks take every opportunity to riot, loot, and destroy. I have never said anything to or done anything wrong to a black person, yet over and over again over again in my life been the victim of them even though I try to be careful and avoid areas they dominate.


I think what the cop was did was dead wrong whether they guy was doing anything wrong I think most here think the same way. There is no excuse for what blacks are doing right now in the name of “justice”.

hateful expressions to share and obsess over.

I actually do think that he deserves a chair. That would save countless lives in future, as cops would become more reasonable. Minneapolis looters and hooligans could just be whipped on pay-per-view, which would decrease future looting and reimburse for destroyed property.

This idea that blacks have to quake in fear as they walk through white neighborhoods is completely convoluted. I live near Trenton, NJ, where they murder people left and right. In fact, the 3 most recent times I was forced to go into Trenton, I've been near two murders and a gunshot victim. Anyone who isn't black would probably make it about 5 blocks before they are robbed, assaulted, or killed. What do they do? Avoid the place like the plague. So it doesn't happen.

I can't say that a black person would feel the same way going through a white neighborhood.

Right away I see a big difference from the bitchute video

Those are just homicides, not all of the other violent crimes.

Move them to Scotland and give it a generation or two. Nothing worse than red headed Chinese.
