  • I am not sure what point you are trying to make, or how it relates to my comment/the article?

    Even if we’re talking about someone who simply lacks basic or any morals, that would make them even more susceptible to Greed.

    Especially when using a system specifically designed to provide them with vulnerable people who are mostly hidden from public and given less wages and rights, don’t know local laws, and are incredibly desperate.

    What a convenient coincidence, heartless Greed finds itself flush with unlimited desperate workers. Again.





  • Obviously more US aid is crucial, and it’s recent absence is clearly having negative consequences in Ukraine.

    If there is a silver lining, it’s that all of Europe is finally getting it’s military shit sorted out.

    Russia is settling into it’s war economy and the rest of Europe has decades of dust to shake off it’s military capabilities.

    Obviously NATO and individual European counties aren’t fully engaged in war like Ukraine is, but the resources consumed by war is proving just how under prepared Europe is for a long campaign.





  • How did you take any of my comment as anti vaccine or public health guidance??

    You picked up on obvious sarcasm (hyperbole?) and got mega triggered and somehow didn’t glean anything else from my original comment.

    In case you missed it, a single person taking the absolute maximum amount of caution isn’t going to offer 100% protection.

    Get vaccinated, don’t go out if your sick, wash your hands and don’t be a dick. Good for pandemics, and regular life.

    Not that hard, but clearly it’s far too much for some people. Which is why all the precaution in the world (and bleach) won’t beat out something like Covid as these precautions did for less contagious pandemics that were eventually (mostly) wiped out.



  • I’m not saying that I love catching Covid because I can’t help but ignore public health guidance - it’s because I’ll be the only one to catch it out of a group of people every. Damn. Time.

    I’m also not trying to get people sick, I work entirely remote and really only see friends and family - but won’t go anywhere socially if I’m sick with anything.

    At the end of the day, you could live in an antiviral bubble filled with bleach but some random person could cough or touch something they interacted with and make your grandparents sick.

    All you and your grandparents can really do is take precautions, and enjoy your loved ones.

    Also, I’d say your comment is pretty disingenuous and condescending, it assumes the only way to not kill your grandparents is by getting vaccinated.

    Unless they live in a vault, they’re gonna be exposed to everything life can throw at them. If you’re healthy, but still worried about being asymptotic you can take Covid tests, or if you’re their only caretaker you can wrap yourself up hazmat style, it’s not like everyone working at a hospital died to Covid exposure, or made 100% of everyone they interacted with sick.

    I’m definitely pro vaccine, but it’s not some magic security blanket - It’s a risk mitigation tool at best


  • Honestly, I don’t particularly care unless it’s causing healthcare collapse - at which point people are more likely to vaccinate anyhow.

    I personally vaccinate because apparently I love catching Covid. If the vaccine gives me mild symptoms over a short period, sign me up every winter.

    This thing has gone from contagious, to super contagious, to super mega ultra contagious, to who knows what next.

    People get sick all the time and we’re never going to “beat” Covid unless a perfect, permanent vaccine comes out and everyone else dies.

    This is an unrealistic and unachievable endgame, so who cares if people want to live without Covid vaccines (again, unless it’s causing healthcare collapse).
