At 57, my dad retired from the weather service. I don't know how much is being an expert in poor financial decisions and how much is from hating Trump, but it happened. Now they're getting hysterical because they're fixing to undo his retirement or something.
My first thought is that cancelling people's retirement after starting it sounds absurd. Not "He's gonna round up the gays!" Absurd, but pretty fantastically clickbait-y. The closest I would expect would be cancelling social security or pushing back the minimum age, if only because it's unavoidable, and Democrats are the ones I hear talk about that more often. Normally I can skim around and get an idea of what stupid things the media is saying that they buy into that might sometimes be based on some small piece of truth, but the closest I can find (with the note that I do not even look at the headlines of mainstream media) is something about people in the FBI worrying about losing their benefits.
Thank you for your time.
A few years ago, it was touted as a sort of mirror to Wikipedia that was a little out of date, but socially and politically contentious articles tended to have more balanced information and matter-of-fact descriptions.
Then it just... Stopped. It's still there, but it runs the same old news links and hosts the same front page articles that it has for several years now, still up being hosted (=paid for?) but apparently unchanged and unmaintained.
Not an abridgement by Fox or PBS or whoever, not just the shooting with some kind of media commentary. Is there just an actual, beginning-to-end recording of the rally?
A member of extended family got covid last year. Probably. Test was positive but the tests are garbage so who ever knows for sure. Being someone who doesn't at all care for herself as well as being a consumer of conventional news, she went to the hospital. She tweeted and facebooked about how horrible it was, played up all the symptoms to my wife, and got out of it talking about how horrible and almost deadly covid is.
Then she talked to my wife yesterday, and the topic came up about when she was sick. When she was sick in the hospital, when they treated her in the hospital. Conspicuously after the drive-by media dropped the covid narrative, it's like it suddenly vanished from her vocabulary. She wouldn't be specific about what she was sick with unlike before when she bleated it like a badge of honor. She stopped mentioning the jab that she swore her life on.
It was unreal. Are people really this deeply programmed?
They're ignoring the doctor's orders and trying to give her Remdesivir. Since she rejected, they next want to put her on a ventilator. She has a laundry list of problems that are doing her more harm than Covid, if you can even trust the test saying g she has it.
She's going to die of her poor choices combined with medical malpractice, and it will be another "death by Covid" to earn a big check and give the media more to scream about. This is just another testimony to the truthfulness of those who reject the blatantly false official narratives of "news".
