Yes, I am absolutely certain that observable things in the past have happened. You're denying that they haven't? Certainly you can claim it was correlation and not causation, but the facts themselves are indisputable. Of course I am not certain that a similar course of action in the future would play out the same way.

Do you honestly think that this makes even an iota of difference to how much the politicians will spend (and just print money to make up the difference)? Also, your math is flawed: the last several times the U.S. government has raised corporate taxes, government income has gone down, because there's been less economic activity to tax. And the last several times they've lowered corporate taxes, the resulting economic boom has caused an increase in government income from taxation. If you want the U.S. government to have more money from taxation, we should want to lower corporate taxes, not raise them.

The global minimum tax that they set is at 15%, and in practice it's significantly higher in a lot of places. Most industries operate at a profit margin of around 5-7%. But you think that it's companies taking everything in the pot?

Oh phew...I'm so glad we avoided that "race to the bottom" situation where governments actually had to try and have any semblance of competitiveness with their policies. I was worried for a second that we might eventually end up with something resembling competence.

Because Russia Collusion was completely based on reality.

Yup. Go woke go broke. And switch to Brave.

Because there are a few demographics where the virus is significantly more harmful than the flu. If you'r eyoung and healthy, it's less deadly. And if you're a kid, car crashes are more likely to kill you - so if someone says they're worried about "unvaccinated children", they're seriously deranged by the panic porn.

Not quite true. It was only the commercialized reactors that didn't work. The proof-of-concept MSR was considered quite successful. Throwing money at the problems in the hope of solving them is the definition of what we've been doing with fusion.

Nope! It's about 4 times more common. And you can't dig up rare earths to make all of our modern electronics without digging up a ton of thorium that you also have to deal with.

Rather than trying to replicate the nuclear processes of the sun we should just try and replicate the nuclear processes of the earth's core - mostly thorium based fission.

Remember that viral video of those California doctors who were saying that the death rate wasn't 5%, it was closer to 0.5%, and that the best place for everyone to be was actually outside, in the sunlight, and challenging their immune systems? And then the video was taken down for "misinformation", even though now we know they were spot on. Is that what we're talking about punishing?

Yeah, the gold standard was also a mess that carried it's own problems. But clearly there are significant problems with fiat currencies as well. Especially with the tendency of politicians to deficit spend without any real limits, and inflate the currency to match.

It doesn't matter whether or not there was a lab leak. When the outbreak started, the CCP shut down domestic flights, but not international flights. That in itself shows that they decided to take it seriously for their own citizenry but not to try and protect the rest of the world.

I already have. And you're proving my point. You seem to think that Covid is high risk (for some demographics it is, but not for many or even most), and that the vaccines are risk-free (nothing in medicine is risk free, everything carries the chance of death, however remote).

The VAERS database that the CDC references shows plenty of side effects, including death. The risks are not zero, they're low. As is the risk of anything from covid. https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/...
