"Had it [Covid] once and it was a massive nothing burger outside of having to fly back home from Mexico."

Text in brackets is mine...

Wookie, if you had Covid in Mexico did you look into purchasing Ivermectin and HCQ from Mexico? They are, to my knowledge, over the counter medications... And if you did, how much was it?

I didn't look to be honest. Pretty sure I had it before and it was nothing. I tested when I got home. Wife tested the day prior. Nurse friend with us had them. She said don't waste a test if you slept in the same bed, you have it. She was right. Tested positive at home the next day and following.

Bought a blanket because I was freezing, but it resolved itself by the next afternoon/evening. Basic bad cold/minor flu symptoms. Again it was for the wife's 40th so we were imbibing more than usual. But I did test positive twice. For what that's worth....

Not saying Ivermectin won't/doesn't work, I just don't think it's needed really. Unless you have other issues health wise. Basic vitamins and zinc did me well. I was expecting worse. It was a sinus infection with chills for me.

California State Senator Scott Wilk advised residents who “love their children” to “flee” the state, citing a new bill that would classify refusal to “affirm” a child’s gender as child abuse. Parents could potentially lose custody of their children if they refuse to support their child’s decision to “transition” to another gender.

And this is why you get elected. Try to make change or leave and call them out on the way out. Bitching online or at meetings generally does nothing. Just leave. And make it a shit show on the way out. This guy is the instruction book of what I'm talking about.

No Senator. We, The People of The United States, will stay and fight this because California is a Conservative state - the state of Ronald Reagan.

Senator, the Deplorable response to this is Molon Labe.

Ronald Reagan was an Illinoian. He was a transplant to CA. I know his childhood stomping grounds well in Dixon, IL. I spent many summers going out there until the late 2000's. Still go out there occasionally for family.

Yes, much of his life was spent in CA. Weather is nice out there, but most people moved there for work and opportunity in certain fields. Those days are dying. So are the CA cities. Chicago is dying, so I'm not trying to be hypocritical. I would leave the state of CA though. I really don't think there's hope. Look at your senators and house reps. How the fuck did that happen? At least every other person in your area voted for this shit. Now it drags down the entire country because of CA's percentage of representation.

There're pockets of decent living in California.

After 2 weeks of Maine weather, I am ready to go home.

Whenever I go to the gas station mini mart at the corner, there are these young guys at the counter. They are pallid, either overweight or underweight, bad complexions, some look like harem castratos with long hair, surly in attitude, dispensing from the shelves full of vapes, tobacco, booze and lottery tickets. They should be at the most vibrant and healthy period of their lives, and they look like wiped out stoner dregs.

Not cheap but definitely worth having it on hand.

How much?

Looks like you might've found it but here's the direct link to the pricing sheet. It's definitely expensive but I wanted legit, US-pharmacy-grade Ivermectin on hand just in case.

If it's more than $1 a pill, you can order from alldaychemist. They're based in India. I thought $1 a pill is on the high side, but they're reliable (haven't had an FDA intercept yet - knock on wood). Food for thought.

I have a lot of IVM from AllDayChemist already. I just wanted to have the US stuff to diversify.

The_Deplorable says

Did you try any grocery stores? Given that Ivermectin is an Over The Counter Medication in Tennessee then people should be able to buy Ivermectin like they buy Aspirin. Is that the case?

I don't believe it's in grocery stores on the shelves. The law in TN is that you still have to get it from a pharmacy but that a prescription is no longer required.

If you're currently in Illinois and aren't at least planning your eventual escape, you're worse at planning for things than Jussie Smollett.

I am irritated about something Cali related everyday. Today it is my homeowners insurance just got canceled. My company, Foremost whoever the hell they are, are the latest to pull out of CA entirely. My agent is putting together a Fair Plan quote which will likely double my rate for an even shittier plan. She had some interesting info about the incompetence of the Gay-Hispanic-Affirmative-Action Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. It is a very political elected position and according to her he has ZERO qualifications.

"Born in Commerce, California,[3] Lara is the son of a formerly undocumented factory worker and seamstress from Mexico.[4] Lara attended Los Angeles Unified School District schools and graduated from San Diego State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and served as student body president.[5][6] He is currently pursuing a master's degree from the University of Southern California. In 2013, Lara completed Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government as a David Bohnett LGBTQ Victory Institute Leadership Fellow.”

In the name of ‘protecting the consumer’ the 'student body president' won’t let the insurance companies raise their rates to price in the rising risks from fire, so the companies just leave. Then the State steps in to save us with some hinky Fair Plan bullshit….that raises your rates.
These people are driving California into the ditch.

They can't raise rates for the mass destruction of neighborhoods and forest fires from human controlled DEW weapons or weather/earthquake catastrophes caused by HAARP. California is targeted, so if the investing oligarchs informed their insurance entities, they would pull out.

Wall Street Firms Move $2 Trillion Out of N.Y., Calif.

Repelled by rampant crime, high taxes and exorbitant housing costs, financial firms managing $2 trillion in assets have left New York and California for Texas, Florida and other Sun Belt states where the cost of living is as much as 40% cheaper, Bloomberg reports.

@Onvacation Why, too humid? Looks pretty nice:

California and New York have lost almost $1 billion in tax revenue because of the departure of the evil rich they so despise.

New York is totally fucked; my older brother lives in relatively peaceful Staten Island and I always ask him why he doesn't get the fuck out of there.

1. His wife objects; she grew up in the concrete jungle of Manhattan and can't leave her gavoon relatives behind in Brooklyn.
2. He still likes making money although he should have retired years ago.

These are outweighing his obvious desire to relocate to Florida; he has a nice little boat but can't really enjoy boating around NYC with it that much.
He would be fine moving down and getting into boating, diving, weekend trips to the Bahamas; guys take small boats to the Bahamas for the weekend from Florida.

So, there you have it; greed and fear of his spouse keeps my brother in New York.
Edit: fear also got him married in the first place come to think of it. Fear of no pussy makes men do foolish things.

I love my where my wife was raised. The weather is variable and mostly beautiful. The humidity and bugs are tolerable. We go back to Maine twice a year and I always enjoy the trip but there is no place like home.

His wife objects;

I think that's keeping a lot of people in places like NY, CA, and IL.

I would think that Staten Island would be a pretty good place to own a boat. I know people around here that boat year round.

It has been suggested that the rebuilding of the Republic will not include the feral cities. They may or may not be rejoined later, but the heartland as we know is Republic Land, not KommieKunt Land.

Pundits have stated that to reverse the situation in captured, fake election fraud California will likely require the military if ever.

Mexicans are good people. They are generally more American than Americans. My general impression of them is they are very strong on family, they tend to be more religious, and they are honest workers and they don't fall for that victim mentality bullshit.

I can't think of a single time I've had a negative interaction with a Mexican.

True, but it makes one wonder why Mexico, with all its resources, is a third world country when it is populated by such salt of the Earth.

Trillion-Dollar Industry Powering Chicago Is at Risk of Leaving

https://slaynews.com/news/california-mother-stabbed-death-asking-drug-users-move-away-kids-bedroom-window/

A mother of three has been stabbed to death outside her home in Hemet, California after she asked drug users to move away from her children’s bedroom window.

28-year-old Shawna Weems was reportedly murdered after she confronted the two people outside their apartment, according to her husband Cody.

Cody Weems told KABC-TV that his wife confronted the drug users on Monday at about 12:38 a.m.

The people were reportedly taking drugs and making noise outside the young kids’ window.

However, when Shawna Weems spoke with the couple, the woman instead pulled out a knife and stabbed the young mother several times.

“She was my wife; she was my best friend, my rock, my soul, the mother to my children … just everything,” said Cody Weems.

This is the fault of Democrats and their policies of deliberately spreading crime and hard drug use.

US intelligence uses as a gateway for drug running, and supports the government there - that's part of it. When foreign influences aren't a threat, reform is possible in a nation. Who is controlling US foreign policy? Think the United States is? I don't.

Federal Reserve does, and there's a great deal of influence by the Neocons who represent Israeli interests, not US interests. The US didn't benefit from the war in Iraq, but Israel did. Iraq is now their main supplier of petroleum, providing about 75% of their petrol, up from 0.

Yeah, that war (and Afghanistan war) account for at least $3 trillion to the +$30 trillion debt

I have no idea what it actually cost. I know my government constantly lies.

I also don't believe either war served the interest of the United States. I don't think any war since AT LEAST 1945 has served the national interest and I seriously have reservations about that. War is wasteful and non-productive. It's something for primitives to engage in, not the United States.

We have primitives running our foreign policy. Primitives or a 5th column, or outright traitors. Doesn't mater, results are the same.

If I move to Texas ever, and I'm asked where I'm from I will first apologize that I'm a Damn Yankee, explain I understand that the civil war was about taxation, and then correct myself saying "it wasn't a civil war, it was the war of Northern aggression", because not only is that all true, it will keep a bullet out of my head.

The South was totally in the right. It wasn't about slavery at all.

richwicks says

WTF? That's a seriously cucked-out mindset. Why the fuck should somebody apologize for moving from one state to another?
