You said "sorry, I dont want to be brutally murdered" Then you quoted statistics about "suicides... accidents or justified" And of course the racism to take it over the top. You made a claim, didn't find the evidence to back up your claim then used an attempt to muddy the water with anecdotes that are not germane to the claim you made.

On a hunch I took a quick look at your post history, I see you are neuro-atypical, seek help brother, there are many resources available, it is never too late, you dont have to live like this.

>Sorry, but declining vaccine efficiency was expected from day one, interesting claim, got a source? I sure didn't hear anyone at the rollout talking about how this vax would only be good for a few months then have declining effectiveness. Or hear them claim, you will still get sick, and will still spread covid, but you wont die as much after taking this medicine, for a few months. Why hasn't declining efficiency happened with other vax? If there is declining efficiency of the vax, aren't we just selecting for a more "efficient" virus in that case?

>We still don't know the origin of COVID, but lab leak is below the 50% line. What is the "line" Who drew the line? A bat 1000km away from the first case giving the virus to a pangolin who then infected 3 lab workers who work at a *CORONA VIRUS RESEARCH CENTER* that was doing gain of function research on...coronavirus sounds pretty complicated.

>it was never "save limited supply of N-95 masks for those most exposed" that's revisionism. be honest about what was said and claimed.

>for some reason? Most governments world wide are happy to keep their foot down on the FUD pedal to use the ensuing chaos to exert even more control over other peoples lives.

So to me your entire post sounds like "I like to be mean and cruel to other humans because I find it fun, and these conditions give me a way to engage in my sadism without social censure"

Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) went into effect in 1965 and was for $10,000. I can't find reference, but I believe retirement was at 20 years and based on 50% of BASE pay. Neil had just hit 20 years of service so he would have been eligible but, Mike and Buzz were not at 20 years of service at that point.

Only the Congress could order a pension like that by passing a law. A Presidential order to that effect would in fact be illegal.

Not the OP but I will answer why I use open source when I can.

Yes the cost factor is nice, but I prefer open source because I have more trust that the system isn't leaking information to it's copyright holder. That and the endless update cycle.

I really with there was an effective way to use cash as a bounty to help pet projects along.
