    I mean one cannot account for the corruptness of FIFA. But in 4 years it's coming to America. You know there's gonna be more than enough drinking to make up for Qatar. Being hosted by USA and Mexico we're gonna drink the world dry.

    Can't say I'm shocked how the lecturer doesn't want to comment on Zelensky lying about the missile hitting Poland.

    I mean until we get renewable energy to a decent enough level that the oil tycoons in the ME are neutered, it's not shocking. If we put heat on MBS OPEC would shut down production to spike gas prices again.

    No no no. Need to be climate friendly. We need others to drill it so we can help the environment

    Remember when the media hammered Trump on this and now the Biden regime has extended protections not even Trump would.

    Its all such a joke.

    Where the lie? OPEC has us by the balls as long as we need their oil. They can highly influence who wins our elections by manipulating oil supply.

    I dont know how true this is but we never should have given them a dime in aid as long as Zelensky is in charge.

    I pointed out that due to lack of effective vaccines and vaccine hesitancy among elderly Chinese that they faced a risk of millions of deaths.

    I have also advocated both for the U.S. and elsewhere finding solutions that allow policymakers to sidestep making choices between lives and livelihoods. For example, low cost interventions such as vaccines and mask-wearing. In the case of China, they have opted to go with their own vaccines, which are less effective. The other obvious thing they could work on is to work to reduce vaccine-hesitancy. All those things strike me as sensible things. As opposed to your nonsensical stream of deza regarding what should be non-controversial interventions, not to mention the hysteria about oppression AND tyranny.

    There is such a thang as actual oppression AND tyranny. It exists in places such as China, Russia, North Korea and Cuba. Not in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Although the citizens of all three will from time to time speak out (as is their right) about the imperfections of their societies and governments.
