If he never tried to get consent, there was no consent, implied or otherwise.

Yeah, from what I gathered, the Chinese vaccination wasn’t much better than a placebo, especially with the rapidly evolving variants. This didn’t help at all.

It failed because the CCP didn’t spend the time gained by the strategy to vaccinate the whole population. They would have had plenty of time for that until Omicron hit.

In an unvaccinated workplace, a single infected person can easily infect everybody in a single day. In my country, by that time everybody already was either vaccinated or recovered (or dead), so it only hit half of the people (I was one of the ones who got it back then btw).

Maybe you’re just used to the usual articles where the whole story is based on a tweet (X post?) and thus the content is already contained in the headline.

What if the goal of the entire thing is escalating tensions? Threats by Islamists lead to fear in the population lead to rising far-right sentiment in the population. This is a very effective method to get people to support your side (if your side is far-right).

In my city, there’s an extensive tramway network. About two decades ago, one of these trams derailed and crashed into a building containing a bank. There was one casualty: one bank employee.

Imagine working in a bank and then suddenly getting run over by a train at your workplace.

In my case, it was a hackerspace. It has windows to the street, so if the police would have happened to go along the street and see that, they could have intervened.

There was one report in the newspapers where they fined a small card playing organization due to that, but of course they were a group of people.

In my country, there was a mask mandate in all enclosed areas except private residences, even when you were the only person there.

Looks like the text my iPhone autocorrects to when I’m not attentive.

Depends on the load probably.

The costs feel extremely low to me for such a project. In my country, just the greater area around the city I’m living in received a €677 Million investment for train infrastructure in 2020. The next few years this will be spent to increase capacity in a small area that already has infrastructure.

Revolutions never do that, because they’re started by wannabe-dictators or the military.

That article is nearly a month old.

Once elected President again, couldn’t he just pardon himself of all federal crimes and not visit any of those states where he’s convicted? They probably won’t extradite the President.

He will get the pardon power again once he’s re-elected (while sitting in prison probably). The US electorate is really that stupid.

The fact that Trump doesn’t even want to commit to pardoning the people who tried to overthrow the government for him should get them to make a brief pause and think things over.

There’s also another big reason why fixing energy generation is top priority: the way to fix maritime shipping, aviation and personal transportation is to move them to electric trains, which needs more electric power.

The reason so much stuff is shipped around the world is that it’s produced in low-income countries because it’s cheaper, not because it’s actually necessary to be produced there. Often, the raw materials come from somewhere else as well, so stuff is shipped around the world twice.

• That didn’t happen.
• And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
• And if it was, that’s not a big deal. <- WE ARE HERE
• And if it is, that’s not my fault.
• And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
• And if I did, you deserved it.

If they have 10,000 lawsuits that result in the same fine, it might actually have an impact on their bottom line.
