Depends on what happens. There are thousands of potential plan Bs based on the thousands of potential scenarios we could face. The best plan B is to have general preparedness (physical, mental and tangible) and to remain fluid and adaptable. Also, know God.
At least as the situation is now (while there are still options: it has become a dividing point for those opposed to the mandates.
Some are finding their strength and standing for their beliefs, often finding better jobs elsewehere or at least renewing their sense of self-worth. Others are caving, making excuses and ultimately showing how they would react when met with tyranny face to face.
Again, this is not a blanket statement and it reflects this current time, but it is a generally accurate narrative within the situation we find ourselves. Many value comfort over freedom.
These explanations make sense if you haven't spent any time around weapons. If you have, you know that firing a weapon involves intent in this type of scenario. You don't "practice drawing" while aiming at someone and you don't pull the trigger (and conveniently have live ammo in the gun), even if you do the above.
Whatever happened, it's unlikely that it's something like this. It's possible, if the person is legitimately low IQ and a beginner who was handed a loaded weapon, but it's very unlikely.
Predictions don't mean much to me after Jan 21. I just listen for the narrative, during which he displays a general breadth of info, which is why I like listening to him even though he can get redundant in his messaging. He repeatedly reiterates it's a spiritual battle though, which is dead on.
If you listen to him for any length of time and are mildly aware of how certain things work, you can tell that he definitely does know things. Moreover, he appears to know certain people in fairly high places.
Based on the above and some other stuff, I'd say he is definitely a wealth of info. I don't get the impression he's in Trump's inner circle, but I do get the impression that he's the type of guy who would have the occasion to run into people who know things, and because of that I would bet he has a better idea of what's going on than most people.
You're probably in a hard place right now and trying to justify to yourself taking the shot to keep your job. I understand that, because I went through the same thing briefly before deciding it wasn't worth the compromise on this. We both know it will never end by compromise.
As to your situation, do whatever seems right to you, but I wouldn't let Trump (or anyone else) make this decision for you. Right now you're probably looking for confirmation in your compromise, which I also understand, but this is not that.
Realistically, there are a lot of unknowns. I'd say the J&J seems to (potentially) hold less long term risks, but even that is really shaky due to the nonexistent transparency and the company's general shadiness. This seems to be a time when many will find strength and turn away from comfort (tyrannical jobs) and grow stronger by seeking out more and realizing their life is worth more than a steady paycheck. Others will take it, knowing the risks, and they will probably be okay at least in the short term, but nobody knows the longterm outlook.
It's a tough one though. I face a mandate too and have zero intention of getting the shot.
A lot of people hate on Juan for various reasons, but if you listen to the guy for any length of time it is clear that he does have a deep knowledge on these topics (and many others.) He's an interesting guy and I'd love to know more about his line of work and background.
It depends on what you mean by "in control." Some here seem to think that in control means this whole thing is some type of scripted event with white hats pulling the strings and eventually pulling back the facade. I think that could be true in part, but I don't think it's as storybook as that sounds.
If this is a recognized (by certain groups) conflict, things are likely being measured in terms of casualties/outcomes etc. People seem to often have a very 2 dimensional view of things, but the reality is that if we're in a conflict (war) there could likely be a lot of casualties.
I, personally, don't see this being a "patriots are in control" scenario where we've already won and are awaiting a smooth unveiling (unfortunately.) It looks more like a conflict of some kind, and with conflict there are individuals trying to do harm to their opponents. I believe that good will win, but what happens before, during and after that are largely unknown.
That's a difficult question. The military itself is not one thing, but it's similar to a country with a variety of a states with different missions/positions and different types of people. Unfortunately, we all know that many on top get there because of certain allegiances and whatnot, so I don't think there's any way to say that the "military" as a homogenous entity is on our side.
However, there could be positions and people of influence within the military who take their oath seriously and are on our side - there could even be a network of these working to advance our interests. If so, that COULD look something like the weirdness we see going on today, prior to any overt action. Then again, we truly are in bizarre-o land, so speculation is just that until we see anything real.
This. Chances are whatever job you're in now is underpaying you anyways. Start applying and ask for more.
We don't owe these economic tyrants anything. Use this to find your courage and leave what's comfortable for something new.
I have literally no clue anymore. Any sane prediction generally turns out to be wrong and we continue to see a festival of the bizarre on a daily basis.
I do think there's a common feeling that we're approaching something that results in change, but I really can't envision how that's going to go down at this point. I'm just along for the ride.
Sorry to hear that. She needs to know her worth. It's a job seeker's market out there. I'll probably be jumping ship myself soon and it's kind of exciting. I know it's hard to leave what's comfortable, but it could be for the best for her to just hang it up and start anew.
This is just an offshot of the "zeitgeist" low-IQ sun god theory that draws from the nonsensical work of new-ager Acharya S, as well as many half-truths, to create a narrative that is superficially enticing, but ultimately false.
This stuff has been repackaged so many times at this point, people should be onto it by now.
Edit - apparently this one even draws in the Hebrew Israelite theology lol. Pretty cringe.
