Who are they fighting? Are they fighting anyone or are they just killing people?

Does this, at least short term, relieve Russia of the pressure of defending Syria? Wil they be able to pull forces from Syria to use elsewhere?

Is there still a Syrian national sentiment outside of Assad's Ba'athism?

They're all doctors, but the ones who have any kind of conscious have to look people in the face every day and say "Your insurance doesn't cover this medicine you absolutely need" and they HATE everything about their industry.

I know a couple and, it's a very hard job. They get squeezed from every side. The corps they work them over fuck them constantly on hours, staffing, everything. The insurance companies constantly create problems that prevent them from doing their jobs. And then they get flak from customers. It's a lot of hours, a lot of very "If you fuck this up someone dies" work tyhat requires a lot of attention to detail, they have to manage generally overworked and understaffed pharma techs.

It's not going to break you down like a hard labor job, but it really is an "if you fuck up someone could die" job with a shitload of fake obstacles placed between teh pharmacist and their job.

Also, Pharmacy protip; Pharmacists are doctors, and technically your pharmacist is your doctor. If you've got a cool pharmacist you can and should ask them for help if you have any questions about your medication or treatment. They may also be able to help with insurance bullshit, or help you find discount programs, voucher programs, and other resources to get medication at reduced prices. They (should) be on your team, they're not just filling bottles.

Who would they settle there? AFAIK a huge chunk of the Israeli population fled the country.

I guarantee you they've had a war plan for this for decades.

Every country has a giant filing cabinet full of plans for what to do in every case ranging from instability in a neighboring nation to time travellers from Atlantis invading. A lot of places intentionally wargame ridiculous scenarios to try to figure out weird corner cases and potential weaknesses.

Idk. You read about a lot of historical crimes, political assassins, commandos, robbers, people get got like this all the time. Like someone recognizes them in a diner on the far side of the country and calls the pigs.

Please note that I included Murray Rothbard and Sephiroth, two kings of the not fucking understanding economics school of economics.

I've kind of got this "Physically painful to look at" aesthetic going right now and I feel good about it. Sort of drill right through the optic nerve in to the deep programmatic lizard brain through visual affront, Langford Styles.

 

Let no one say I am not doing my part for the glorious cause of revolution

 

I'm not sure about the Utopia quote at the bottom and honestly while I love the Robin Hood image idk about the rest of it. L: 9

 

Honestly I have no idea, it was really late and Hexbear was down. I was left unsupervised. Something like this was bound to happen.

 

You can't stop me posting just because I don't know where the MEga is I'm going to post anyway!

 

At this point pretty much every official organ has burned all it's credibility. The CDC was making blatantly political decisions to protect business profits. The UK's goal was to fill the morgues until Covid magically stopped spreading because of some herd immunity bullshit. China threw in the towel and told everyone they could spit in each other's mouths if they wanted to. Half the US believes COVID is made up. Professionals are saying all kinds of contradictory things.

The authorities that should be trustworthy but burned their trust are saying Covid is over, even though wastewater, the last real data source, says that nothing has really changed.

So that leaves mostly random non-authoritative sources. And I have no fucking idea how to tell which of those people are cranks, which are just plain wrong, and which are actually providing useful information.

Known. Known Unknowns. And Unknown Unknowns.

The Known Unknown is "Who is this person, what are their credentials, are they some kind of quack or crank, are they working with good information, and how the hell can I assess any of these questions?"

Another known unknown is which things coming out of the CDC, or any other official body, are useful information and which ones, like the "It's okay to go back to work after five days" thing that was total bullshit, is profit-serving sociopathic bullshit.

And then the unknown unknowns are new variants, surges (wastewater lags by 2 weeks where I am so I wouldn't know until it was well underway), and fuck knows what else.

 

The government is still screaming "French kiss every stranger you meet then spit directly in to their mouths", which is not helpful.

The wastewater numbers and test positivity in my area are both higher than previous troughs and trending up. Does that mean Covid is spreading more aggressively? Does it mean anything? The only data I have, and that as far as I know anyone has, is test positivity and wastewater numbers. I feel like I'm going fucking nuts because EVERYONE, including the fucking contagion dispersal cult, says Covid is over but the actual available data says it's trucking right along and nothing has changed.

I want to screm-a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

I thought the narrative was pretty coherent as far as weird internet shit goes.

 

I have no excuses for this it's late and I'm tired.

 

"Oh no they're feeding people we don't like on land they don't pay our protection racket for, and they self-organized to do it without using coercive hierarchies! Quick, get 'em!"
