Saw this yesterday on another site - technically, she is a TERF, but she makes some excellent points and therefore, it has already been pulled down from YT once. I can see why she pisses some people off but it is amazing to sit back and realize how messed up as a society we are right now where basic common sense seems radical.
(And while I like his work, she is right to call out Andy Ngo.)
You know what is odd about a lot of this is its not like getting a second opinion on a medical problem is a brand new idea. To the MDs pushing, I want to say, if you had a basal cell cancer on your arm, would you accept the recommendation that your arm be cut odf just to be safe? Or would you question the advice?
One of the early drops was about Bill playing the former president card.
Funny, I don't recall signing a contract like that...in all seriousness, I really hate that argument because of its implications of virtue.
I don't think you are too far off on the Jonestown analogy. But remember that a significant number did not drink the Kool-aid willingly.
You know what really popped out to me in that Forbes article is this sentence:
It is as if the USS Connecticut does not exist.
This author specializes in Aerospace and Defense, but he treats the crew as generic. I was curious about the recent visit if the Vice-Admiral and the I found the sub commander is Cameron Aljilani. He has been the commander since 8/2019.

Here is his Navy bio and LI profile:
I remember it. But I was in my teens/early 20s and had no idea what it really meant. How could I?
There are days when I struggle when I look back over what has happened over the course of my adult life. But I can't change the past - I can only learn from it.
The FDA's own paper that Pfizer tested the booster on 12 people over the age of 65 in Phase 1 trials and ZERO over the age of 55 in Phases 2&3.
I searched for the who is the commander of the USS Connecticut and I found this. It lists,the commander, the executive officer and the chief of the boat. That name doesn't look like Bill Clinton to me
That was my first thought- he's in ICU - but don't worry, it's not CV! Like we can all relax now, he didn't get the bad disease that those bad, bad unvaxxed are spreading and preventing life from returning to normal. I am so sick if everything fucking thing in life revolving around CV. /rant
His health has not been the greatest - he has a long history of cardiac disease. He had a 4x bypass before he was 60 and a couple of additional stents about 10 years ago.
I am also thinking about the pictures of them on the beach about six or eight weeks ago where they both looked like hell. More focus was on her but he wasn't a rosy picture of health.
After I go grocery shopping, when I get home, I unpack and separate into piles. Fridge, pantry and other (things like toothpaste, etc.) - basically so I am only going into the Fridge once. Those piles are getting smaller and smaller but the bill keeps getting bigger and bigger.
About six months ago, a deal for a Chinese real estate development (and 'financial services ') firm to buy out Genworth's long term care insurance unit fell through. They had been trying to make this work for four years.
How Genworth got to where they are is a long back story, but they hold the largest block of LTCI business in the US. The initial selling point was that the Chinese were looking for ways to address their own baby boom generation aging. The US has 70M baby boomers, but China has 250M and they had one child rule. So they do have a problem to address. But I am thinking a bullet was dodged there. The industry has its problems for sure, but I would rather we take care of those ourselves.
But what is interesting about Oceanwide is the other projects in the US they have been involved with and have fallen apart. They were building what was to be the second largest skyscraper in SF next to the Salesforce building. When they announced they were getting out of the deal, I probably would have not noticed, but because I was familiar with the Genworth deal, it peaked my interest.
Some background on Oceanwide
I love how you hear the original in the background.
