Copyright
Limit copyright to 20 years like patents, with no renewals, because renewals just protect the profits of Disney and other wealthy lobbyists.
Make DMCA takedown abuse a felony because it is used to stifle free speech.

Corruption
Make it illegal for any drug company to advertise in any public media, the same way as with tobacco. Those "ads" are bribes to lie about the death jabs, etc.
Issue massive cash rewards for exposing illegal or unethical behavior by government officials. Turn the rats against each other.
Ban congressmen and their family members from owning individual stocks, to stop flagrant insider trading like that by Nancy and Paul Pelosi.
Ban all levels of government from attempting to influence public opinion aside from direct quotable speech by specific elected officials; government should respect and reflect the will of the people.
Make it a felony for any elected official or government employee to knowingly lie to the public, or to materially misrepresent facts to the public the same way it is a crime for members of the public to lie to government.
Require all laws — like vaccine mandates and insider trading bans — to also apply to members of Congress without any exemptions.
Rotate out DC politicians with 12 year term limits (two Senate terms or six house terms) before they can fully develop their corrupt networks.
Move all federal agencies far outside the DC area, to places that need the jobs, places like Wichita, KS.
Make a point of bringing in total political outsiders as often as possible.
Forbid everyone at the FDA or family members from ever working at any pharma company, and forbid all pharma employees or family members from ever working for the FDA, until the FDA is eliminated and its functions transferred to the states.
Make all government expenditures, down to the dollar, without exception, easily available for public inspection.
Hire the elderly, who often know how things work and have a lot of available time, to watch all public contracts for excessive spending and corruption.
Require all retail establishments including cafes and restaurants to clearly post all prices, any item without a price being free as a penalty.
Overcharging at checkout must make the item free as a penalty. This especially applies to "out of date" menus in restaurants.

Crime, the Law, and Prisons
Openly address the extremely disproportionate violent crime rate by black men relative to all others, instead of hiding it.
Abolish all "hate crime" laws because they inevitably result in unequal application of the law, favoring some groups over others, and violate the First Amendment. We already have laws against crime.
Implement public honors and a large cash reward for anyone who captures and flogs a looter or shoplifter.
Pass castle doctrine laws in every state, so that if someone breaks in, the fault becomes theirs if you injure him.
Pass stand your ground laws in every state, so that if some one comes at you intending violence, you need not retreat but can defend yourself where you are.
Require all police to wear functioning bodycams at all times when interacting with the public or prisoners, all video to be used as evidence.
End civil forfeiture because it is theft by government.
Ban private prisons because they bribe judges to feed them more prisoners.
Legalize marijuana at the federal level because it is less harmful than alcohol.
Allow free speech for all prisoners so that we can learn about injustice.
Segregate prisons by biological sex. No men should ever be imprisoned among women, nor women among men.
Define "right to a speedy trial" to mean that a verdict must be reached within one year of imprisonment, defaulting to innocent.
Compensate those found innocent for their unjust time in jail. The money should come from the budget of the agency which imprisoned them.
End selective enforcement of laws by DAs. We should have minimal laws, but they should be enforced 100% of the time to avoid cases like Hunter Biden's never being charged with running the Biden Crime Family bribery racket.
First-time criminals should be given the option of flogging rather than imprisonment. Imprisonment creates hardened criminals who learn bad habits in prison.
Anyone who instigates a lawsuit and loses should have to pay his opponent's legal fees so that the suit itself was not a financial punishment. This is the law is most of the world already.

Discrimination
Forbid government from counting or classifying citizens by race.
End racism by refusing to talk about it, as Morgan Freeman suggested in his famous interview with Mike Wallace.
Prohibit any special access to government services regardless of a person's status, wealth, or payment.
Eliminate all government favoritism or exclusion of citizen by race; therefore no Affirmative Action, nor exclusion of whites or Asians from any programs.

Education
Offer a basic citizenship, numeracy, and literacy test for a high school diploma, administered by the US Office of Weights and Measures.
Fund college with temporary income share agreements, not loans, to give colleges a true motive to help students.
Let middle school and high school students test out of any subject and study whatever they want on their own, so they don't waste their time.
Require any university which gets government funding to award class credits and degrees purely for passing objective tests, no classes required.
Require elementary, middle, and high school classes on how to avoid getting trapped in debt.
Create state-level virtual universities of the very best teachers and classes, online, free for all students of any age.
Allow school choice, where parents can spend their tax money on any school in the state, public or private.
Promote practical education, such as plumbing and HVAC, but also promote reading the Latin and Greek classics, especially in the original languages.
Require middle school and high school courses to teach what rights are guaranteed by the Constitution, and how to sue for them.

Food
Make is a serious crime to introduce any insect-based food for humans without prominent warnings on the food that it includes insects.
Ban all seed oils as not appropriate for human consumption because they are poisonous, especially rapeseed oil, aka "Canola" oil.

Foreign Policy
Put compensating tariffs on foreign goods from countries with lower wages or lower environmental standards, to protect the US manufacturing base.
Seek national economic self-sufficiency in all necessary goods like oil and medicines so that the US may never be extorted by a foreign country.
Impose an absolute ban on dual citizenship, because it always creates conflicting loyalties. China prohibits dual citizenship for this reason.
Stop sending taxpayer money to Israel. They can take care of themselves.

Freedom of Speech
Create a Constitutional Amendment explicitly prohibiting all levels of government from "advising" or influencing any media on what to report or suppress.
Prohibit discrimination in hiring and firing based on political activities outside of work.
Revoke all laws against "hate speech" because such laws violate the First Amendment.

Homelessness
Require mandatory prison time for hard drug use, because most homeless are addicts, and former addicts testify that enforced sobriety in prison saved them.

Immigration
Issue permanent shoot-to-kill orders against anyone invading US borders. This was normal in all parts of the world until recently.
Make everyone who enters the US illegally permanently ineligible for citizenship, green cards, employment, and welfare, except for any who help to convict and imprison their own employers for employing illegal labor.
Build a wall along the southern US border, to protect low-wage American workers from illegal competition.
Deport everyone who entered the US illegally. Exception: grant US citizenship to any illegal alien who gets his employer convicted of employing him. This would be yet more effective than a wall.
Mandate federal prison time for all employers of illegal aliens.
Eliminate all H1B and similar visas unless the incoming worker is paid at least twice as much as an American would be for that job, to prevent, eg, Facebook's abuse of H1B.

Infrastructure
Give official federal priority to fast and cheap rail transit to city centers as in Europe, in place of subsidies and favoritism for highways and airports.
Attempt to re-achieve US energy independence to help keep us out of foreign wars and to improve our balance of trade.
Officially disparage and refuse to grant permits to sterile modern architecture because it is merely cheap shit pretending to be classy.
Return to classical public art, perhaps with subtle new touches. Refuse to spend money on crappy modern public "art".
Create pedestrian-friendly and completely safe town squares with fountains in every town, with a particular emphasis on introducing young people to each other.

Leaf Blowers
Ban gasoline powered leaf blowers in dense residential areas. They pollute with dirty engines, blow dust around, and make a lot of noise.

Legislation
Ban all Congressmen from working as lobbyists after serving. This ban should be for life.
Restrict the commerce clause’s interpretation back to what it was before the 1937 Supreme Court case "National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp." This reversal would greatly reduce the size of the Federal government.
Eliminate all regulations and rules. There must be only laws enacted by elected representatives of the people, and never any regulations and rules created by unelected bureaucrats.
Require lesser authorities to defy unconstitutional laws and orders.
Prohibit all "states of emergency" because they are used to subvert the Constitution, as was done in the Wuhan Virus scamdemic. We should be ready for emergencies at all times anyway.
Create a Constitutional amendment to explicitly state that no part of the Constitution may be suspended ever, for any reason, for any amount of time.
Anyone attempting to suspend any part of the Constitution for any amount of time, especially for an "emergency", shall be guilty of a capital offense.
Require all federal laws to be read in their entirety by all legislators before they may vote on them, to discourage lobbyist-written bills.
Require all federal laws to be clear enough that a 12th-grade education is sufficient to understand them perfectly, for more public participation.
Require single-issue and single budget-item bills. No bill should contain more than one clearly defined issue.
Limit bill length to 30 normal-sized pages of normal sized font, for more clarity about what is in the bill, and more public participation.
Promote the principle of very few laws, very well enforced. "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws." -Tacitus.
Guarantee the right of the president to fire anyone within executive branch at any time, especially long-time "civil servants" like Fauci.
Eliminate anti-competitive imposition of "safety" costs on small businesses because those laws are almost all written to benefit large businesses.
Require 20 year sunset provisions for all federal laws, requiring a new vote on whether the law is to be continued after it expires.
Allow the public to vote to revoke the corporate charter of any company which they feel has abused the public, companies like Pfizer.
Publicly post all bills two weeks in advance of Congressional vote, to give the public a chance to read them.
Let the president have a line item veto.
Repeal the poorly-named "Patriot Act".

Medical Care
Repeal the "Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness" (PREP) act. All vaccines and other medical products must come with unlimited liability for manufacturers at all times.
Repeal the "Vaccine Injury Act" of 1986. All vaccines and other medical products must come with unlimited liability for manufacturers at all times.
Establish a Constitutional ban on lockdowns, mask requirements, and vaccine mandates. They must never be allowed under any circumstances.
Prosecute everyone involved with the creation of Wuhan Virus, especially the mass murderers Fauci, Collins, and Daszak.
Prosecute everyone who abused his or her power to mandate the dangerous and ineffective mRNA injection, whether in government, schools, or workplaces.
Require short clear written presentation of all non-emergency medical costs before treatment for market discipline of medical costs.
Absolve all patients from legal liability for medical care bills whose costs they did not agree to in writing in advance of treatment, aside from emergency care.
Require all emergency medical charges to be limited to moderate fixed prices by law, because there can be no market in emergencies.
Require medical insurers to give a coverage response to a proposed non-emergency medical bill within one day, again to control medical costs.
Allow import of prescription drugs from Canada and from every other country because the import restrictions are a scam to boost profits.
Make it a felony to offer doctors or other medical providers payments to recommend any drug or treatment.
Ban the practice of charging higher prices for the same medicine or treatment when the patient is uninsured. See image below.
Establish a Constitutional right to visit in person and hug any relative who wants visitors in a hospital or nursing home with no exceptions for any disease on either side. It must be their choice alone, never an administrator's.
Prohibit all hospitals and nursing homes from benefitting financially from the deaths of their patients, as they did with the Midazolam Murders.

Mens Rights
Ban kangaroo courts in corporate HR and University Title IX departments to protect men's rights.
Mandate paternity testing at birth to give all men the certainty which encourages paternal care. Eliminate all child support obligation for a non-biological father unless he legally adopts the child.
Require courts to assume that a woman of age, voluntarily alone in a bedroom with a man, has consented to sex.
Grant equal post-conception rights to men.

Military
Eliminate the US Army and instead require mandatory training and arming all sane non-felon adult male US citizens to defend US territory ONLY, organized into well-regulated militias.
Implement a mandatory death penalty for anyone who deliberately attempts to send US troops off of US soil.
Create a constitutional amendment prohibiting interventionism; American soldiers must never fight except against invasion of America, per George Washington's advice.
Ban gays from the military because they are corrosive to morale and because they spread the disease of homosexuality there, not to mention anal warts.
Ban trannies from the military because they are mentally ill.
Eliminate NATO, because Europe is not America.
Close all US military bases in foreign countries.
Create a Constitutional amendment prohibiting all interference in the affairs of foreign countries, especially sending weapons.

Money
Define the US currency to be one ounce of 0.999 pure silver, to be called an Ounce. Silver by weight worked well for thousands of years.
Prohibit the creation of any term for US currency except weight of 0.999 pure silver. So "pound" is OK for a pound of 0.999 pure silver, but "dollar" and all other such non-weight terms are to be prohibited because they can be redefined to devalue to the currency.
Require every business and government agency to accept silver metal by weight as payment.
Establish a Constitutional right to pay all debts and taxes with physical silver by weight, so that everyone can preserve savings as silver metal.
Ban all taxes on buying or selling silver. Such taxes are punishment of those who try to avoid being cheated by the Federal Reserve.
Forbid businesses from requiring payment in any form which can be blocked by government, the way Canada blocked the bank accounts of legitimate protestors who opposed deadly injection mandates.
Create a Constitutional prohibition on political discrimination as a reason to deny banking or payment system access.
Require classification and prominent marking of all non-metal payment instruments as "Not money, only a debt, MAY DEFAULT", because they are merely debts.
Eliminate the requirement for anyone to ever accept or pay with paper money because all paper money eventually becomes worthless.
Legally define all banking as either storage of silver for a fee, or participation in the bank's lending risk and bank run risk in return for an interest payment.
Eliminate the Federal Reserve entirely. Let the open market set interest rates at all times.
Limit the annual federal budget by Constitutional amendment to 1% of GDP with no exceptions, especially not for "emergencies".
Completely and permanently eliminate the national debt. Require the federal budget to be paid out of current revenue, similar to the "Swiss brake".
Ban asset managers, especially Blackrock and Vanguard, from voting the underlying shares that they don’t own but are merely managing.

Privacy
Create an amendment establishing a Constitutional right to privacy because it is not perfectly clear from existing law that we have this right.
Prohibit all levels of government from collecting or holding information on any citizen except as absolutely necessary for census, taxation, criminal investigation, or driver's licenses.
Prohibit the federal government from monitoring the activities or location or even knowing the home address of anyone not currently accused of a specific crime. So no mass license plate reading or cell phone tracking without a warrant naming the specific person and the crime.
Require all private people and companies which collect or distribute home addresses and phone numbers to prominently display all of the owners' home addresses and phone numbers, and all similar information they collect. That is, demand equality of exposure.
Prohibit airlines and other transportation from demanding identity papers. Everyone should be able to travel anonymously, as we did before.
Prohibit websites from including 3rd party javascript, especially that from Google or Facebook, without a prominent notice that every keystroke or mouse movement etc is visible to Google or Facebook and that those sites may have altered the page content. It's spyware and most people are unaware of it.

Real Estate
Completely eliminate the mortgage interest deduction and all policies which serve only to keep houses expensive, because they cripple new family formation.
Aggressively implement policies which drive down the price of a house as much as possible, to give young families space to rear children.
Prohibit all foreigners, including everyone with any non-US citizenship, dual citizenship, or any foreign passport, from owning any land in the US.
Require notarization and publication of all bids on real estate to slow down the routine fraudulent bidding by realtors.
Require a publicly advertised price for a house to be a legally binding offer to immediately sell at that price, the same way it is with toasters and all other goods.
Prohibit government loan guarantees of all kinds, particularly housing or college loan guarantees, because they simply raise the cost of housing and of college.

Regulation and States Rights
Eliminate all federal government agencies outside of the military and commerce; everything else belongs to the states, as is written in the Constitution.
Eliminate the FBI, CIA, NSA, NIH, FDA, and CDC in particular, with their functions transferred to the states, as is written in the Constitution.
Eliminate all federal funding for science and let the states fund it instead. Then scientists might be able to find a state in which to do research which proves that Pfizer products are deadly.
Allow girl scouts to bake their own cookies at home.

Sex
Strictly separate multiple-person bathrooms for men and women, whether a person is mentally ill with the fashionable "trans" disease or not.
Ban gay men from adopting, since the majority are gay because they were molested as boys, and then frequently go on to become molesters themselves.
Ban gay men from being alone with boys, ever, because most gays were created through homo-pedophilia.
Ban the sodomy, trans, BLM and other flags from any property funded by tax money, however indirectly. Only official government flags may be displayed.
Define the promotion of homosexuality or trans ideology to children as child sex abuse.
Revert the classification of transsexuality to be the mental illness which is obviously is.
Revert the classification of male homosexuality to be what it really is: a contagious life-shortening mental illness.

Schools
Ban the rainbow sodomy/pedo/trans flag from all schools.
Require middle and high school courses in law, taxes, personal finance, insurance, coding, cooking, home repair, car repair, self-defense, survival skills, etiquette, public speaking, and stress management.
Require daily weight lifting and running in PE classes at every level including publicly funded universities.

Taxes
Create a Constitutional amendment to establish the right to buy and sell without any license or any sales taxes for great prosperity and low paperwork.
Eliminate all income and sales taxes, to be replaced with Georgist land value taxes and import tariffs.
Swap the current maximum tax rates on income from work vs capital gains until Georgism is implemented and income tax eliminated.
End Prop 13 in California, to be replaced with a land value tax, with zero taxes on buildings.
Prohibit sales tax on used property which was already taxed when first sold. Ultimately eliminate sales tax in favor of a land value tax.
Prohibit all public sector unions, especially teachers unions and prison guard unions. Government workers may not unionize against the people they serve.

Voting
Make Jan 6th a national holiday honoring the political prisoners who protested the 2020 election fraud.
Arrest Pelosi, Ray Epps, and the other FBI goons of Jan 6th for conspiracy, entrapment, and incitement to violence.
Prosecute everyone in the DOJ who fabricated charges against the election fraud protestors entrapped by Pelosi and the FBI.
Eliminate all voting machines in favor of paper ballots alone because it is insane to give centralized control of the totals to Dominion and similar companies.
Eliminate mail-in voting or drop boxes; have only paper ballots with photo ID in person at a local school on that one day only, counted by each party.
Require proof of US citizenship with photo ID to vote.
Publicly fund all congressional and presidential campaigns.
Set term limits for Congress: 6x for the House, and twice for the Senate, so 12 years each, maximum.
Require a roll call vote in both houses of Congress on the verbatim topic of any petition with more than 10% popular support, without amendments.

I agree.

Prosecution is absolutely necessary.

https://cei.org/blog/a-history-of-interstate-commerce-part-3-the-expansion/


The seminal event in expanding the commerce clause’s interpretation was the 1937 Supreme Court case National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. ...

This decision introduced the “substantial effects” doctrine, which seems reasonable enough. While labor relations certainly aren’t in the realm of interstate commerce, the case could be made that regulating labor relations is a necessary and proper step to regulate interstate commerce. But then, in 1942, we get the real kicker: the “aggregate effects” doctrine. ...

The Court, with its Jones and Laughlin and Wickard v. Filburn decisions, gave Congress a free pass to do almost anything it wants. And it certainly has.

Or just don't take any of it? I don't wanna know what anyone takes medicine wise, but I take nothing. I'm not dead. Don't feel sick. This isn't fact but I think most medicine is made to make you more sick in the long run with side effects. Vaccines and whatever pills.

If you have no patients, how do you make money? You can't make a living as a doctor just treating geezers. You need sick, younger people. Almost everyone I know around age 40 is popping pills for some "ailment" either prescription or OTC.
292   Patrick   2024 Aug 2, 10:51am  

Yes, doctors are mostly salesmen for Pfizer and the rest of big pharma now. Maybe they always were.

But patients themselves are partly to blame because they usually want the doctor to prescribe something, and think he's a bad doctor if he doesn't.

Still, there must be prosecution for against major medical journals and pharmaceutical companies for racketeering. They lie for profit, and people die as a result. This is especially true about the toxxine.

294   Patrick   2024 Aug 26, 9:05am  





I mostly agree, except:

- I doubt the "Iron Dome" is feasible. Sounds like a giveaway to defense contractors.
- "Strengthen and modernize our military" also sounds like a giveaway to defense contractors.
- I don't care if the dollar is the world's reserve currency. Silver by weight should be our only currency.
295   stereotomy   2024 Aug 26, 9:19am  

The "Iron Dome" bullshit is a follow-on of the dissolution of the ABM treaty. The essence of the ABM treaty was that a country could have a limited number of early warning systems, but in return, these countries had to limit the ABM capacities that these systems enabled.

Most of the early ABM systems (pre-treaty) were nuclear ABMS, which in high-altitude interception bursts would do as much EM damage as a pre-emptive attack burst to fry the satellite networks and electrical grid of the defending country.

Later, Reagan was sold a bill of goods called "Star Wars" - essentially the same deal. The X-ray, fission pumped lasers would generate the same EM damage as any nuke detonated in high orbit.

The fact is, unless the ABM system is completely kinetic or non-nuclear-pumped laser, then the solution will do more damage overall than that of the initial threat.

It is a giveaway for sure. But so is giving Shaquanda from the hood and Denise from the trailer park section 8 and food stamps because they can't close their legs. The border should be first as far as defense spending goes. But I wouldn't mind an Iron Dome type system even if it goes unused. It's an insurance policy. American manufacturing jobs. As long as it's not for foreign wars that mean dick to me.

Defense spending and infrastructure should be the primary spending of the federal government. 90% of most federal departments could be abolished and we'd be just fine. Do we really need a department of education? We have some dumb number of health departments, can't that just be one? I like the feeling of knowing there's a 99.99999999% I won't die from a terrorist or foreign invader. We're safer, some fat cats make money, employ people here and spend their earnings here.

Again, as long as it's not for foreign wars I don't mind. Especially after Russias miserable display in Ukraine for almost 3 years now. The Israeli's are surrounded by nut jobs and are holding their own on two active fronts. Oct 6 was either laziness or allowed so they could wipe out Hamas. Who knows. They clearly have the ability to defend themselves though. Amazing for that region of the world.

I'd be fine with big spending to secure both our northern and southern borders. Wall, machine gun nests, minefields, and permanent shoot-to-kill orders for anything coming over illegally.

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/inviting-you-to-break-the-law


so many laws, so many rules, so much contradiction and contrivance and confusion. when the law is sufficiently complex and far reaching, it becomes impossible to follow and impossible to even know if you have followed.

no just system may emerge from or survive such structures.

from insider trading to “following too closely” so many of these crimes “are what we say they are.”

the goal is not justice.

the goal is “if they want you, they can have you.”

everyone is outlaw.

so the system runs on prosecutorial fiat.

do you ever have the slightest idea if you have really paid your taxes properly? ...

that fact that the rules are unclear is not a bug, it’s a feature. the capricious, arbitrary nature of what will and will not bring down the wrath serves to render each and all their own jailors, their own thought police for if you have no idea where the line lies, you fear to even step in that direction and you keep yourself well back from anywhere such tripwires might prove to be underfoot.

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/223578-obamacare-architect-lack-of-transparency-helped-law-pass/


In a clip unearthed Sunday, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Jonathan Gruber appears on a panel and discusses how the reform earned enough votes to pass.

He suggested that many lawmakers and voters didn’t know what was in the law or how its financing worked, and that this helped it win approval.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Gruber made the comment while discussing how the law was “written in a tortured way” to avoid a bad score from the Congressional Budget Office. He suggested that voters would have rejected ObamaCare if the penalties for going without health insurance were interpreted as taxes, either by budget analysts or the public.

“If CBO scored the [individual] mandate as taxes, the bill dies,” Gruber said.

“If you had a law that made it explicit that healthy people are going to pay in and sick people are going to get subsidies, it would not have passed,” he added.

I get the point about medical expenses and not having as high a life expectancy. But do you really want to live to 78?

Love my life, have fun, but I don't envision being 70 something as enjoyable. I don't care if I'm in great shape "for that age" I think it would suck.

As a former athlete that's been reckless and beat the shit out of myself up to 41. 78 would suck. I don't envision the words great grandpa in my life. If I'm in pain and it's not fun anymore, I'm doing a bunch of heroin. Have known 2 people that officially died from it, but were brought back. They said it was a nothing burger pain wise. A hang over.

I'm extreme on this topic because of my dad. He held onto life for no reason and made it miserable for everyone. I don't want my wife or kids getting me a bedpan to pee and shit and wipe my ass. Give me baths. Maybe I'll age well, but at 41 it hurts.

I also don't trust the medical field either. About to get my EEG hat for 2 days after vacation. Fuck stress. I'm not epileptic, but something is off. I don't think most of you active guys on the forum have kids. Had to drive 40 minutes to a basketball game and watch two games on bleachers that made my boney ass sore ass hell (intentional). I now have to make sure they wake up at 5:20am central for practice. Wife is out of town all week. 3 kids.

I get in my rough patch this time of year. They won, but the kids sucked at b-ball tonight. I'm the guy that pisses off the refs, but I only do it when I'm 100% right. Never kicked out. I do it non-aggressive and haven't been kicked out.... yet. Ranting at this point and need to get 2 hours of sleep. Good night patnet

Yes, absolutely. I have a lot of reading I want to do. And a few books to write.

Ranting at this point and need to get 2 hours of sleep. Good night patnet

You may want to consider getting more sleep and anything seizure may just go away. Not a lot of people can function with less than 6 hours of sleep daily and will eventually display medical symptoms. Those who can are a rare breed

Yes he is. I didn't study it well, but it's apparently a genetic thing, cannot really be "learned". For most it's very unhealthy, as is oversleeping. On average the ideal number of hours is 7-8, but much closer to 7 (given it's quality sleep). Oversleeping increases inflammation markers significantly

I’m just taking naps now. I’ll get 4 at night and 1-2 during the day. So I’m technically close to 7 total.

In Mexico now, so not getting anything done, but you can get a shitload of stuff done from 3-6am before most even think of waking up. My sleep format is heavily dependent on your employment. With a family of 5 it’s dishes, laundry, quiet cleaning with 3 boys that will piss on the wall. Then work a part time job and take a nap. Then dinner and sports. That nap is key though.

I have 3 hours of chores daily, dinner, 4 hours of work, 2-4 hours of sports and hanging out a day or two. I’m a quasi stay at home day and it keeps my wife’s life is less stress so we can make more. She wouldn’t make $100k more this year without me and she agrees. I’m a unicorn. I’m basically done with serious work.

When the only problem is sleep I’m blessed. 6 years and the kids are out. I’m sure as I age I’ll start getting more sleep.

"My father in law said, "80 never looked so good". When he was 79.
313   WookieMan   2024 Nov 18, 7:52am  

My dad made it to 72. Last 10 years of his life were miserable. Maybe I’ll be a unicorn and make it to 90-100. Generally 99% unrealistic though.
314   Patrick   2024 Nov 18, 10:52am  

My dad was 75 when he died. Had leukemia for the last five years, which was bad, but I'm pretty sure he still found it worthwhile to live.

Then again, he lived with my mom and never had to have anyone take care of him right to the end. I think he would not have liked being alone or in a nursing home.

My wife lived in an apartment that was dark and peaceful. Animals would regularly find their way there to pass their final hours under the bushes.

It got a little too intense when a disbarred lawyer blew his brains out with a shotgun right around her doorstep.

I had an asshole doctor try to shill me vaccines claiming it I didn't get them my limbs would rot off. I told him, "It's my decision, and if it's my time to die, I'm OK with that." This psycho doctor then switched tactics, pleading with me to get vaccinated.

Yeah, I know what team he's on.

Lol, just occurred to me that Trump is 78.

And he's about to have the best four years of his life, assuming he isn't killed and doesn't die of vaxx complications first.

He's fading. Not remotely like Biden did, but you can see it. Joe likely did cocaine and drank though, so that might have something to do with it.

We'll see what the future holds. I'm just sick of old people that ask where the floppy disk is thinking they're tech savvy. I'll get there at some point, but we need young blood in office. As dumb as she is AOC is better than Nancy Pelosi. Both are dumb, but I bet Nancy can't even type 10 words per minute. Index finger typer.

My nephew, mainly, beat a bunch of 60 somethings down in Mexico at trivia. One theme was 70's. We helped him on a few questions, but younger people are waaaaay smarter than people think. 1,000% more polite. You still have you ass holes, but the generation that's 12-20ish right now is bright.

I voted for Trump, but I'm sick of geezers running the place the last 8 and soon to be 12 years. And we can't get blindsided by a young gun bull shitter either like Obama. We need a 45-50 year old that had kids in their 20's. Trump is unique with Barron, adult kids with families, grandkids. It makes a difference.

Joe has Hunter doing crack, fucking his dead brothers wife, etc. I don't even think Hollywood can make this shit up. There will be a movie on it at some point. Not documentary, a movie.

Allow the public to vote to revoke the corporate charter of any company which they feel has abused the public, companies like Pfizer.

This all would be rather pointless from the Phoenix perspective. They already have legal and corporate shells that are designed to collapse into bankruptcy under demolition, leaving the core entities and players intact to rise again with new corporate clothes and hidden assets resurrected. You can't flog a corporation and you have to have criminal indictments leading to imprisonment and death for principles, but usually those only go to various pawns and useful idiots for optics, essentially resolving nothing and leaving the weed roots to sprout again.

Hate to say it, but summary executions of the bloodlines would be required, which may be why Rosthies are faking death and cutting fuck.
320   Patrick   2024 Dec 2, 11:38am  

Yes, they're probably prepared to misdirect any real justice, but it would be irresponsible to future generations not to at least try to hang those responsible for the virus and the mandates.

Eliminating Pfizer and Murderna as ongoing businesses would also definitely help protect the health of the world from future attacks by needle.

Require short clear written presentation of all non-emergency medical costs before treatment for market discipline of medical costs.
Absolve all patients from legal liability for medical care bills whose costs they did not agree to in writing in advance of treatment, aside from emergency care.
Require all emergency medical charges to be limited to moderate fixed prices by law, because there can be no market in emergencies.
Require medical insurers to give a coverage response to a proposed non-emergency medical bill within one day, again to control medical costs.

Government facilities it's US first and then state. Nothing else should be hung up. Ever.

Hold an event and wave those flags, but don't put it on property I pay for. Federal or in my state. Government officials are so obtuse and dumb. I as a citizen fucking own you and that building. Don't pull that shit. 2% of the population shouldn't have that right. 13% for blacks and I'd bet 70% of them don't support BLM.

Those fags... errrr flags don't belong anywhere near an American flag and even a state flag.

Fidge vs Pfizer showed how deep this grift goes as Judge Rofe ruled Fidge had no standing despite being vaccinated. It was later revealed that Rofe once was on Pfizers payroll and failure to disclose this overt conflict was quickly forgiven.

This is why regulatory agencies are very dangerous to centralize. It presents an attack surface for democracy as unelected bureaucrats can sell the freedom of their tax payers to the highest bidder while laundering the corporate accountability through government officials who often pay no price for being wrong.

In a just world, the regulators responsible for approving any such medication should NEVER be in a position to police their own poor decisions. Separate post market evaluation needs to be independent of the people who approve a given medication.

They really put it in the airport?? Even liberal Chicago doesn't as far as I've seen. They did worse though and put up photos of skelator (Lori Lightfoot) in airports in Chicago as you arrive (not anymore).

Pisses the wife off, but I'll say out loud what the fuck is that? That's how we want to represent our state and city? Fucking alien looking dyke. Winning as Charlie would say... not.
