In an at-will state (not the same as right to work, but with a big overlap), you would need to document very well that not getting jabbed was the reason. IoW, you have the burden of proof to show that they fired you for an actionable cause. That's a lot easier to do, if you have 50+ people let go at about the same time, at about the same time as a jab mandate, and all with potentially valid exemptions (being that the US, TMK, has yet to have an approved jab on offer, any exemption should be valid).

If that doesn't show how corrupt the system is, nothing will. If you have a terminal illness, you should be able to sign off on just about anything. It should be between you and your doctor.

Israel could wipe out the area in a couple days. IMV, any happenings there are encouraged or allowed by them, to use for their political agendas. If they didn't want war, they could turn Palestine into a well-run police state, with a snap of their fingers. But, war serves them better, as long as the overwhelming majority of losses are dirty Arabs, or their Western, "allies".

With Gen X, it was a much more normal case of culture changing, though. You didn't have extra short attention spans, FI, but just didn't care about the things your elders wanted to guide your attention to. Millenials, and worse, Zoomers, legitimately have lower attention spans, on average. There has been sufficient control populations available to easily point fingers at modern kids' entertainment content, massive short form video consumption (also reduces adults' attention spans!), using computers too much, too young, and too much blue light exposure (which may also be a factor in earlier puberty, these days)[1], off the top of my head.

[1] Common white LEDs have a huge spike of 430-460nm (whatever primary frequency the actual LED is), as it is cheaper and easier than having phosphors cover the frequencies around the pump. This messes with sensors in our skin, that regulate our metabolism, including attentiveness, based on the sun having more such light mid-day, and in the summer, than winter, morning, or evening. There are LEDs on the market, now, like Optsolis, Sunlike, and Thrive, which spread the blue out, alleviating the issue. But, they ste still costly, and uncommon. As well, most devices use PWM dimming at frequencies your peripheral vision can detect. Outside of people that gives headaches to, or disorients (like a strobe light), I'm mot even sure if any serious research has been done. TVs and computer monitors can be had without PWM ("flicker-free"), but phones, tablets, and laptops, still commonly use 1000-2000Hz PWM dimming.

It's not the porn, but the ease with which it can be used to get a good hormonal rush, combined with the increasing difficulty of cultivating strong social bonds, or having long-term goals to work for, these days.

40+, barely millenial, here.

3 - That's really different issues. Going to the bathroom to pull the pud is nothing new. To force you to cope with it, your sex drive is just insane, until 20+. If I wasn't physically exhausted, or sick, I doubt I managed 8 waking hours, between about 13 and 20. 15-16, it was more like 10-15 times a day, most of it with no access to any visual or auditory aids. It eases off, later.

While porn is a problem, it appears to me to mostly be a symptom of the breakdown between the sexes, and general emasculation, rather than a cause. That is to say, it appears as a superior product to nothing, but an inferior product to a sexual relationship, long-term physical pursuit, or long-term creative pursuit (both of which would often taken on by young men to improve their luck with the ladies). I have noticed, FI, that kids into sports are much more into it for the sport, these days, if they're not gunning for a scholarship.

4 - Also nothing new. They do it for attention, and were doing it 20-30 years ago, too. The high rate of apparent identity issues, the LGBT agenda helps make worse, is worrying, though. The gullible adolescents don't realize how silly it really is, on one level (rebellious trendy behavior), or destructive, on others.

5 - I've seen surveys to this effect, and it is interesting. Not necessarily good for society in the short term, but I think it will help in the long run.

6 - As a millennial, this started before y'all, but is getting worse. I hope the Gini coefficient wins out over bread and circuses sooner, rather than later.

7 - Again, this began before you, but is now worse. I have had to learn many basic life skills at 25+, and still learning things my ancestors had mastered by their teens. Gen Xers were mostly left to their own devices, and learned enough. Boomers, if not taught, were in environments that encouraged them to try and fail, even when it cost their parents, neighbors, school, etc.. My dad's childhood stories of getting into, learning about, and modifying electronics and mechanical things are situations that would have been verboten, outside of our home, when I was kid...and, that's only gotten worse.

What I have noticed, though, probably related to #1, more than anything, is zoomers generally lacking any interest, curiosity, or critical thinking, as workers.

8 - Yup. This is bad, and there are numerous causes. If you're willing to stop with short form content, though, you can improve. You're going to have to want to do it, because it won't feel good, for awhile (that's pretty much what you are training). But, if you have the intellectual capacity for delayed gratification, you're not permanently screwed.

9 - Histrionic and narcissistic traits have been on the rise since the Boomers. Has it reached a peak? Maybe, maybe not. Social media has made it worse, for sure, though.

10 - This one will blow up. The will to live, get along with each other, and raise kids (not just make them), are tied to religion. Regardless of whether any religion is correct or not, a lack of it will doom a society. They can try to downregulate some genes, but it will just remove necessary motivation.

Dear Lord, please let this be. For all the faults of Zoomers, young men in that age range have more, "fuck Israel," in them than I've ever seen.

That was a cheesy sequel, back in the day. But, rewatching it, it was deeper than we gave it credit for.

He was part of the system. So was Dr. Malone. The system had never betrayed them, before. The level of corruption that some of us found quite expected, they would have found unfathomable, at the start. He, and others, had no reason, from their experience, to deeply question things, instead assuming that various reviewers and regulators made sure it was done right.

IMO, people like this, do deserve some deferrence. When the data didn't jive, he started taking that red pill suppository, instead of giving up, or doubling down. He's had to realize that his long career has been built on lies, in a very short time span. As someone that had doctors give up on, or tell me very physical symptoms were all in my head, I've had decades to view the medical establishment with skepticism. The Opiate Crisis(tm) cemented my views on its corruption, long before the plandemic. Campbell had to process it in about a year. Everyone can get things wrong, and will get some things wrong. What you do about it really matters. He likely opened many minds, that would have just followed along, and prevented plenty of booster shots, as one of the fefew non-fringe dissenters.

You're going to be in your pod apartment, in your 15 minute city, and everything you want or need (except low crime, low blue light, good neighbors, a starry peaceful night sky, the ability to travel...) will be delivered to your region by electric rail systems.

Uber costs $30+, one way, and is cheaper than other options. That's $60 per day, just to commute. Self-driving cars, if they make a breakthrough on the AI (just adding data isn't quite doing it) will not likely be much cheaper, but will be less useful and convenient. Plus, you know that they're going to be like rental places, and show up with a Leaf, when you asked for a F150, and now how are you getting that 300lb of sheets and lumber home?

People like him wouldn't last 2 days in the world most of us live in.

A gag order about evidence/testimony/speculation in a case, until the case has passed a point that it could influence potential jurors? OK, I can get that free speech needs some practical limits. But, over publicly available info, like this? Yeah, good luck with that.

It's all contradictory. At the lower level, all these smart devices are what used to be dumb terminal devices, all while they have enough storage and performance to not need, "the cloud," in the first place.

I think it is more, as far as the term, "smart," goes, about replacing your need to make decisions. The concentration camp aspect just flows out from.that.

No, bit being near entertainment industry hubs helps a lot. Also, they're rather loose about their definitions. You can never get rid of prostitution. It's part of the human condition, more or less.

So just following orders is a valid defense, then? That's a big part of the issue, and on the upper guy's side, here. Those that pushed all this do deserve punishment, for betraying the public's trust. But, if you were willing to get experimental gene therapy just for your job, you deserve your consequences. Getting sufficient knowledge about what you may be injected with, and then making the decision to get it or not, is not up to talking heads, but you.

You're quite right on a lot of that. Employers appearing to bear responsibility is one of things that killed the corporate mandates, in my state.

The problem I would have with a religious exemption is this: does requesting one give consent, if it's denied? If faced with one, I'd want to confirm that, one way or the other.
