"Drink up, the world's about to end." -- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Well, at least let us get through this Mardi Gras and party a little, you know?

:)

Yeah? But that account name!

Hey...that's the combination to my luggage!!!

Have you died from COVID yet? Or Bells Palsy?

No.

But then again, I think I'm one of those out there that has natural immunity to covid. I've never (knocks wood) had a bout of it....if I did, it was asymptomatic....therefore likely as not didn't need the shot.

I'm not speaking out against vaccines....I'm just saying there appear to be some serious side effects on people out there and should be acknowledged and researched rather than suppressed.

>>One bright spot was last month, when hiring increased by 130,000 roles

as if that won't be revised later also

Shortly after I got the covid shot...I went to the ER thinking I was having a stroke...face drooping, etc.

After exams...they said I had Bells Palsy....

One of the first things they asked me was if I had recently had the covid mRNA shot and I said yes.

They said they'd seen this reaction a few times....

Thankfully about a month later the paralysis and all disappeared and face was back to normal, but was scary.

my friend got the covid shot and then 2 years later bam, herpes

wow, that totally compares to these people in minneapolis getting shot in the face or dragged out of their house in the middle of the night

you getting yelled at by some aggro CBP agent 40 years ago doesn't really compare at all to what's been going on in minneapolis

tell us about the times you were shot by ICE

But at least you won't be demented on the potty at 3AM.

Always a win.

Poop Juice

I only drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day.

2-3 16 oz cups.

Lowering labor costs has been a quarterly sport for 50+ years.

There's a quick way to fix this.

Let's finally enact laws that make hiring illegals SO ONERUS that no US employer would dare hire them.

Dry up the market for illegals and they'll leave....and then US citizens can take those jobs, that housing,, possibly lower taxes to keep from paying inflated education and safety net expenses.....

So..what all jobs are so exclusive to NYC (aside from being in NYC govt job)...that you could not do them in other parts of the US, arguably with a better overall life quality?

Also, I'm quite sure there are TONS of places in the US, even those with actual constitutional sane gun laws (ie they respect the 2nd amendment and let you own and use firearms). That have better results than NYC....

Just FYI, I have a TON of firearms and not one of them in all my decades of ownership have spontaneously jumped up and injured anyone in any fashion whatsoever.

This is even with my carrying concealed 995 of the time I'm out in public....strange that.
