Sure but they have all the power to influence what happens.

These fucking people.

Kingdom of the billionaires.

Most of the western world have free healthcare. But this is an America view so I understand.

A friend of mine went to hospital like 5 times to check out his belly with various advanced machines and the final bill was equivalent to like 50 dollars. The taxi rides to the hospital cost him more than that. :)

I think its amazing.

There were many theories but people are emotionally stuck on what they were told.

Yeah I don’t change my mind on this. I will take the vaccines when there are no side effects.

No I just had them as a kid, maybe 40 years ago :)

Since then ive been healthy.

This reminds me of the hole in the Pentagon and how it was way too small for a plane to have hit it.

And how all the cameras were taken down by agents and how the public never got to see their content.

Fun times! I really enjoyed reading about 9/11 back then. So much stuff that didnt make any sense. It was exciting.

The passports of the hijackers being found at the foot of the building was very convenient so we would know who did it.

I always felt like an outsider too but not because of any special race or identity. Its just normal today to not fit in with the normies, if you have any kind of special interests at all.

But ive had friends at work sharing my sense of humor and way of thinking. It has nothing to do with race for me. Its just that some people naturally just like me and I like them.

How did i become the expert on vaccines in this conversation? Im not taking them, you are. :)

Yes, i care about my own health more than strangers health, thats correct.

I also take a car to work despite it polluting the environment, because im not willing to suffer public transport two times per day.

If you are vaccinated, you are in theory protected against that decease, and it doesnt matter if others are not.

I was just thinking about the covid vaccines. As a kid, I was vaccinated against all kinds of stuff im sure. But I havent re-vaccinated since then.

I mean, the equivalent of blocking someone in real life is just not having contact with them. It happened to me a few times, but always over things like having nothing incommon. Never over these topics. I feel like the reaction online is 100 times over the top. :)

I dont use my tongue to write this.

If thinking about my own health before others is selfish, then yes, I am.

I agree with you 100%, and im also biased because of what ive seen. I just strongly think each person should take all of this into consideration when making their decision.

Im happy your wife made it through. You sound like a level headed person who have thought about all this way before this Lemmy conversation.

I know. To me it always seemed like the wrong choice to force it on people.

If giving my opinion means you think Im an asshole then yes.

But in real life, people have different opinions. I dont think it makes them assholes. I like new ideas, new ways of looking at things.

Haha I didnt think of that, but possibly :)

No i meant more that hating those people and killing them will not get rid of them. The entire end goal of capitalism is to take as much as you can. The end goal is monopoly. At least in unrestricted capitalism like the US.

You need legal changes to handle that, not going after the people who became billionaries. More of them are growing right now in that system.
