The new Indian variant is highly concerning.

We have yet another variant that is more tranmissible and more deadly at the same time, something that shouldn't be happening under normal...

She did it because she would have lost income otherwise. The way she sees it (I presume) is that covid isn't real anyway, it's just the flu and whatnot and people are making a huge fuss about...

I've been known to entertain pretty crazy conspiracy theories myself, at least on a theoretical or "what if" level, but it stops being a form of entertainment when real people are dying because of...

Hi Wind,

Yes indeed, along with Czechia, we have the highest number of daily deaths per population at the moment. I know of several people in my circle of friends and family, who passed away in...

You are making a lot of assumptions about people you barely know.

That's the curse of the internet, you often have to judge people and make assumptions about them based on limited information.

I would say that there are too many coincidences here to conclude that this virus is definitely a product of natural processes and not the result of a lab leak or even some clandestine gain of...

Good discussion.

My take:

This isn't just about the USA, but what is generally referred to as "The International Community" or more generally, The West.

It isn't partisan or political...

Yes, that is so true...

One of the baffling things about the US political system is how it is still stuck in the 18th century, with a total inability to move in the direction of progress. The...

Well, it's your country, so you're somewhat obligated to have faith. I hope you're right, but personally, I just don't see it happening.

There are so many things wrong with the political, social,...

I remember this video coming up in my youtube feed a few days ago. It is truly heartbreaking.

The astonishing thing about the US is how wealthy it looks on paper. If you look at measures like GDP...

Getting Hyperinflation Right

Profligate money printing by the US Federal Reserve and by other Western central banks...

Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with Kunstler's political views, he has become a bit of a cantankerous right-wing crank in his old age, but it seems to happen to a lot of people as they got older....

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but OK.

Hubbert may have predicted Peak Oil, but he didn't predict the 2008 financial crisis and how it would be preceded by a historic spike in oil...

Are you talking about Kunstler? I think you have him wrong...

I am actually a bit of an expert on him as I've read most of his non-fiction books, have been following him since 2008 and we...

The thing about the technosphere is that it is a parasitic organism predicated on infinite growth. The current economic system, which underpins it, simply isn't viable without economic growth, which...

Actually, you misplaced the decimal, it is more like 0.3 percent and quickly approaching half a percent globally, which is certainly significant. In most of Europe the death rate is well over 1...
