Gonna call you out on this one, cause I got burned saying the same thing. Can't show where this $ is going overseas. It's mostly pork, but from what I've read, it mostly stays here.

Can confirm. If you read the breakdown of the funding almost all of it is allocated domestically.

could instantly tell OP was lying/misinformed from 9%. nearly 20-25% of the bill is going directly to the people, is it not? Still tons of pork but this is just as bad as when people claim "0.02% death rate" for covid when it's really 2%. We can't win with false statistics.

500k deaths / 330M people = 0.2% dead in one year.

under 65 years old: 80k / 330M = 0.024% under 45 years old: 12k / 330M = 0.0036%

Yeah but that is also misleading statistics. Ebola killed most people it infected, but because it only infected some 20k people, using statistics like you did here, it would be a virtually nonexistent death rate so you wouldn't be afraid of it even though there would flat out be a 50% chance you die if you get it.

The official scenario here, ~30 million infections, 500k deaths is a 1.6% death rate, but we know many deaths are not covid deaths, and the infection rate is impossible to figure out because of how bad the metrics they use to count infections is. No numbers we can use are accurate.

By design. I emailed all 50 head state epidemiologists early on and they were forbidden to make their own accurate test kits by the fda. Hmm wonder why?

Good point. Ebola is lethal but insignificant. Any person saying we should close down the country because of ebola with a 50% mortality rate is a retard. Likewise if you have a 2% mortality, only among 65+ year olds, of those that were tested because of severe symptoms, after the first and largest outbreak had passed without random sampling testing or mass testing and disregarding the fact that every single country has a different cases/deaths rate.

Something interesting: cdc reports each year some 3 - 11 % of people get the flu, thats 30mil people at thr high end. Exactly the amount of covid cases. We also know that the flu is mostly absent past year. So covid is 2020s flu. How severe is this flu? Looking at excess mortalities of various countries. Its about 10% higher overall deaths than normal. So instead of 0.9% of people dying each year in the usa, this year it was 1%.

Now the question remains, how many did the lockdown save? Doubling of deaths, e.g 0,1% of total population? Or only a portion like lets say a quarter more deaths without the lockdown (125k extra dead)? Which is 0.025% dead, saved because of the lockdown. Lets not forget that the lockdown only slows the spread, it does not stop it. What is the mortality from 2t debt, mass bankruptcy, unemployment, no sunlight, reduced oxygen from masks, delayed surgeries, record liquor sales, and social isolation?

Global average death rate is 2%, or 0.02. Not 0.02% or any other incorrect variation.

US death rate is currently 1.8% or 0.018.

It's the use of % that seems to confuse most on here

Yeah I have been the guy telling people that’s it’s generally ok to say anything in order to win.

But this claim is so obviously stupid that we should fact check it.

Can you imagine being able to walk into a casino and gamble your ass off , when you win, you keep the money and when you lose, the government covers your losses.

"Follow the rules" they said.

"Cheaters never prosper" they said.

... are y'all starting to realize that "the rules" is how they keep you down?

THIS is what PRESIDENT Trump said NO to in August-September-October 2020! THIS is why Nancy would not allow the stimulus package to pass last year.

Honestly, when are we going to tax strike? This shit is ridiculous. It is literally theft.

It is just straight up theft. But I'm actually glad they are doing this. I'm glad as long every single time anyone gets a chance they tell or explain the theft. I want Americans to be angry enough to start calling their state representatives and demand a constitutional convention to permanently end the train wreck that is the federal government.

Cause of "failed investments" i.e. we gave the money to wall street. Fuckers are gambling the private retirement funds and taxpayers are covering the losses.

Paying off liberals debt means nothing if they don't change the policies that incurred the debt.
