I'd like to share my personal experience with covid. I caught it in early February. Before the media propaganda, before lockdowns, before stimulus, before fear took grip. A co-worker went on vacation to NYC in early January. He came back sick, and within 2 weeks the whole staff was sick. I have my son on weekends, I didn't take him the first week, the second week he was already sick, his mother and her whole family was already sick, he said "everyone at school is sick". It spread like wildfire unchecked, in February 2020. No one batted an eye, this happens every year around this time. After I caught it, I had 2 really rough days, I went to work anyway, everyone was already sick there. I was one of the last to get it. I sweat profusely, and had a bad cough. The usually flu symptoms, lots of congestion, and a fever. The only thing unusual for me was the weakness and severe joint pains (specifically my elbows). Those were the worst body aches I've ever had from a "flu". I pick up 40lb boxes everyday, I can toss them across a room with ease. Those two days they felt like 150 lbs, I struggled to pick them up, my elbows hurt like someone was digging there thumbs into them, I sweat like I was running a marathon. It sucked, but I pushed through. The third day the symptoms were about 1/3 of the first two. I drank a lot of orange juice and some milk those first two days, which I usually don't drink much of. I always drink orange juice and a little milk when I'm sick. After those first 3 days, I had a stuffy nose and light cough everyday when I woke up, until about lunchtime. It would go away, next day I'd wake up congested again. Everyone at work experienced about the same thing. No doubts those first 2 days were rough, and the weakness was a bit scary, I'm a big strong guy and having my strength just taken away like that was a bit bewildering. I can see someone who is old or frail, or someone with a bad heart or some other issue, having serious complications from this. I can see someone with a bad immune system having every illness under the sun flare up on them because of this. But I don't see it killing strong healthy people. It was a bit worse than a normal flu, but not nearly as bad as food poisoning (which I've had twice). The elderly, the unhealthy should take precaution, they should protect themselves, and try to stay out of contact. Everyone else, should go about their business. It's not that bad. I'm 40 years old for those wondering, my boss who is 50 had it a little worse he's tough and old school and in his own words he "almost went to the hospitol" He had maybe 4 bad days, but he pushed through and was fine. Just like 9/11, just like the environment, just like every crisis, the people in power don't give a shit. They are just using it as an excuse to get more power. The biggest mistake people always make is assuming the people in power have the same morality as the general population. They don't, our lives mean nothing to them, if I'm wrong someone explain why they constantly start needless wars in which millions of innocent people die. If you think your lives mean any more to our "leaders" than those who die elsewhere, you're a fool. They are using our own fear, and our own morality against us, just like they always do. It's time for change. Not from some politician who promises change (they all do). It's time for us to change, we the people. It's time to take our country, our lives, and our fates back.

When a building is completely infested with termites, you don't start replacing every piece of wood 1 by 1. You tear it down and rebuild.

My personal experience with ObamaCare: I have VA health coverage, so I'm already covered, however, once it was enacted I couldn't get a full time job. They wouldn't give any new employees more than 27 hours a week to avoid the company having to deal with Obamacare.

So there I was working 2 jobs 25 hours each a week, for a total of 50 hours none of it overtime since it was split between 2 companies. Fortunately I had VA healthcare, but millions of others were in this same situation, having to work multiple part time jobs for over 40 hours and getting no overtime and still having no coverage, then getting penalized for it.

Where the fuck does the constitution grant the federal government the Authority to FORCE you to buy a product from a private company. God I hate commies.

It's sad to me that so many young people think they want Socialism. They just don't realize you'll get the SAME CORRUPT ASSHOLES running things, only with MUCH MORE POWER over everyone. Ignorance I can forgive, but willful ignorance is much harder to forgive. Young people to day have more access to information than anyone ever in the history of this world, they need to use it!

The truth is the light, do not spend your lives in darkness.

The army standard issue M-4 isn't even full auto, and the 3 shot burst is rarely used (they have a single or 3 shot burst selector switch). Waste of ammo, after the first 2 bullets you're no longer on target.

For the curious, there are typically 4+ light machine guns issued per platoon. These are the most common https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M249_light_machine_gun

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M240_machine_gun

The only real use for the burst fire is to gain fire superiority, and suppress enemy positions.

All you can do is lead by example and hope the light of truth will shine on those who live in darkness. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. God bless you.

It's almost like they're having trouble finding a powerful black woman who doesn't mind being groped by a creepy, senile, old white guy.

Doesn't seem strange how executing the law has shifted from the Executive branch, who can only execute the law through a series of corrupt agency bureaucracies, and now it seems the legislative branch has taken over enforcing the law through committees and hearings?

First let me say fuck communism. But I disagree with OP, this is America, people are free to believe what they want. When we weaken the rights of those we disagree with, in the end we weaken our own rights. You may not be able to unbrainwash a commie, but you can spread the truth of why communism sucks so this cancer wont spread.

Trump isn't our last hope, he's theirs. If things keep going towards communism a bunch of pissed off patriots are going to set things right the hard way.
