it is because the rules do not apply to them. They are exempt from 'voluntary' jabs and they do not pay taxes. It is so easy to make rules for others. They do not even have to make sense!
A german teacher posted a video on youtube with 'Vaccine macht frei' and was fired on the spot. He challenged the school authority in the court but lost.
Lauterbach recently said that the vaccines limit the community spread because, when infected, the vaccinated experience symptoms sooner than the unvaccinated and hence they can isolate before infecting somebody.
I think his point was actually that the vaccinated experience the covid symptoms even before they get infected with covid so they can prevent the spread of the virus. So I guess we should view VAERS as a pre-crime/infection warning system.
There is some truth to this. The vaccinated are also more likely to be scared to go out in public to begin with and thus are already pre-determined to stay away from people and public spaces. But that doesn't mean vaccines are effective, just that fear and panic prevents or at least mitigates the spread of a disease with a .14% death rate.
That is plausible. But so is the exact opposite. At last when the jabs were new, those who had been "vaccinated" erroneously assumed they were immune and went out into public. This partly explains the CDC's rapid shift in 2021 from "If you're vaccinated you don't need to mask" to just a few weeks later, adding back the mask. I say the blame lies with the government, who made false promises and the public at least initially, was trusting.
There’s video of the Dutch health minister talking about a plan to vaccinate individuals who are allergic to vaccine ingredients UNDER NARCOSIS because EVERYONE MUST BE VACCINATED. For their health. 😳
Indeed, one of my favorite memes of the pandemic is a black and white with him wearing said uniform and the text: vaccinatie maakt vrij. Vaccinatie rhymes with nazi in Dutch.
So, just like "Medicaid" in the US is an employment track for sub-par doctors, "government work" is an employment track for semi-functional lower IQ individuals?
Who is talking about solutions to our problems? We have options. Decentralization. Governmental Transparency. There is a better way to govern. The Top 3 Technologies We Should be Using to Take Control Of Our Governments Again, and how to create a "Transparency Movement" to get there:
A bit of cultural humor: Consider that many Westerners (including me!) have no problem, and even enjoy the occasional sausage whose ingredients are, as one friend once colorfully described "lips, assholes and everything in between*" encased in an intestine. Yet we cringe at the thought of eating bugs. (I've sampled candied crickets, but did not especially like them.)
*Actually not 100% true. There are certain parts not allowed in (USA) food. For example, animal fetus. This I learned in undergraduate biology, when we were dissecting fetal pigs and the instructor explained the source of the specimen.
That is very interesting. True of the here and now, but in many parts of the world, and at different times, the unborn have been considered delicacies (you might want to look away if you're eating right now). Balut is a fertlized developed eggshell - in other words, an unborn chick - that is well-fermented - okay let's just say it, rotted - then roasted and eaten in the shell. A much appreciated street food in the Philippines. Yum!! In the Middle Ages, "coney" was unborn rabbit, which was deemed "fish" by the Church and therefore could be enjoyed at Lent and during fast days. As for sausage, I had a Cajun mother-in-law who was known to remark, "Mais, I don' eat no boudin I don' see made wit' ma own eyes, cher." Good advice.
Among my life-long mottoes has been "I'll try anything once", and as a result I've ingested things that most people don't know exist, and don't want to know exist.
But I might draw the line at balut. But then again, maybe after a lambanog or two...
I had similar experience while apprenticing in the Bay Area circa 1985. We had a Spanish speaking dish crew and I once drew on my rudimentary spanish (learned from an older teacher who was teaching, as I later learned, Castilian Spanish) to warn the poor soul in the dish pit that the pan was 'caliente'. They fell about themselves, literally collapsed in laughter. 'Calor' is the americanese for 'hot'. Caliente means 'sexy' at the very least in American Spanish. I got teased for that for a long time. I quit after we got a German chef, so I can't report on those....
The Eighth Amendment obviously prohibits the posting of this video, and I may be forced to pursue legal action over the damage you've caused to my brain by making me see it.
I imagine the look on the lady interviewer's face was mirrored by my own. That guy sounds like he's been taking lessons from Karine Jean-Pierre, but I'd say he still needs a lot of work on his delivery.
This imbecile is the German equivalent of Robert Reich, and it is precisely this sort of idiotic nonsense one would expect when people who have never run so much as a lemonade stand are elevated to "government economist".
"Cleaning companies", indeed. I can only imagine the last time one of these mountebanks cleaned anything themselves, particularly their own minds.
Watched that clip twice. Could not make sense of that poor fellow's babbling. Perhaps he is in desperate need of psychiatric help. Kudos to the young lady doing the interview. She did not run screaming from the set.
The ancient question, "fool or knave?", needs to evolve given the calamitous rise of the progressive left to reflect the new pseudo-real reality they have ushered in:
"Community organizer or useful idiot?"
The most prominent recent example of the former is Barack "The Drone Ranger*" Obama, with the latter perfectly personified by all his worshippers he fleeced, and continues to fleece.
At first I thought that it means the German government is going to give people money. But it wasn't quite clear, and watching the whole clip just made things murkier.
I have little training in psychology. Thus I am not qualified to speculate on what is deliberate deception and mental derangement. I didn't watch the interview. But I can somewhat grasp how these people think. For example, a business may be closed perhaps twelve hours per day. Thus, reasons the apparatchik, this means it is "not in business" half the time, even more if it's perhaps closed on Sundays and holidays. And it seems to be none the worse; in fact, the closures are part of normal life. Why then, he thinks, can't it be shut down for weeks or months and similarly suffer no ill effect?
Omg! If we've come to the point where someone in power can talk such complete and utter meaningless, incomprehensible nonsense and not be literally (not figuratively) *thrown* out of office, I can only assume the German people's brains have been turned to pudding (and, sadly, not just theirs).
No, most of them were born with fewer brain cells than the average amoeba. That characteristic may now be, (along with narcissistic sociopathy), a prerequisite for public office.
Hmm, sounds like he’s been taking double-think lessons from his Minister of Health counterpart Karl Lauterbach:
“No one will be vaccinated against their will; the vaccine mandate will simply lead people, ultimately, to accept voluntary vaccination.” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-german-bundestag)
This is reminiscent of the leftist parasite (redundant?) Harry Reid insisting that the U.S. income tax is "voluntary":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6q0slMhDw8&t=69s
Hard to decide what is worse: if these people actually believe their own verbal flatulence, or not.
it is because the rules do not apply to them. They are exempt from 'voluntary' jabs and they do not pay taxes. It is so easy to make rules for others. They do not even have to make sense!
Yes and it reminds me of a great truth from EGM a while back:
“and this is the important part to keep in mind:
authoritarian fascism becomes its own constituency.
it does not matter if it works.
it does not matter if it makes sense.
it matters that it keeps the power it took.
it will not release its grip when it is wrong, it will tighten it.
that is the game we're playing.
plan accordingly.”
🎯🎯🎯
Well he is right. You have 3 options:
* Work 1099 or as proprietor & choose to pay your taxes
* Work 1099 or as proprietor & spend $gadzillion for a tax attorney to get you out of taxes.
* Work 1099 or as proprietor, don't pay your taxes & go to jail
See? Choices! All voluntary!!!
Like execution in the past - hot stake or cold chop?
Thanks for the link. With so much recent insanity, I had forgotten this early example of delusional congressional commentary.
Answering that question first requires us to establish some sort of common belief system with [them].
I do not believe that this can be done; ergo, there is no rational answer to your question.
Somehow I think you knew that already 😉

There's never an "off" ramp with you my friend!
Well played my fine Floridian...well played.
Did you end up getting an intern or are you still deliberating?
Flatulence is supposedly healthy for us. This is sheer poison being exudated.
Not all flatulence is created equal.
Free market farts are beneficial, statist emissions toxic.

Wow, that's spoken by a person who has probably never held a real job or managed an actual company before.
Exactly!!!!

I was appreciative that she didn't simply pretend to accept the bullshit and move on, as so many do these days. A little pushback is so refreshing.
Be thankful. Had you been able to make sense you also would need psychiatric evaluation.

Not so sure of that. They are certainly traitors. They are surely evil. And they are also buffoons.

Good grief, what does he think causes bankruptcy. Stop selling and do what? What a buffoon and to think he gets paid to say this crap.

No, most of them were born with fewer brain cells than the average amoeba. That characteristic may now be, (along with narcissistic sociopathy), a prerequisite for public office.

It's easy comrade Gato. They will be offered interest free loans with no lien and no security and with no demand for mortgage or paying it off.
Until two years later, when all of a sudden all of that will be brought into effect, bankrupting everything but the major corporations.
