The Post published an analysis yesterday that found Kennedy linked vaccines to autism in at least 36 public appearances since 2020, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.
Nigger, 1 in 4 Californian kids is diagnosed with autism, it's either the shit they eat or the shit they inject onto them.

"eXpErTs SaY..." I fucking hate soyence.
 
Yes. Less than 1 million people likely read his book before he was selected for VP.
His book was a top 10 seller on Amazon the year it came out and was widely discussed. The only political memoir I remember getting that kind of attention was Dreams From My Father. Even if you didn't read the book, if you paid attention to politics at all, you heard about JD Vance before his VP selection.

Right now. What percentage of people in America know who George P. Bush is?
Well, just about everyone in Texas and Florida know who he is.

The theory is plausible. Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia are linked to autoimmune conditions. If your immune system takes a dislike to grey matter, you’re fucked, for one. For two, they used powdered aluminum as an adjuvant, and aluminum is also linked to Alzheimer’s.

So like, maybe just space out the vaccinations instead of doing mega clusters of them, and don’t use powdered aluminum.
 
Can I just thank everyone in this thread for doing such a good job aggregating news? For a very long time one of my best friends has exclusively used /pol/ for news, and the doomer bullshit he sends me every day makes me appreciate how well informed all of you are.
/pol/ outside of the odd leak or blurb that isn't bullshit is it's own flavor of abject retardation in the same vein as the hard to find non-fed groyper types. Because they would rather walk away from the table with absolutely NOTHING of what they allegedly want, than to get SOMETHING of what they want.

Every. Single. Time.

They have absolutely no understanding of overton windows, cultural shifts, public perceptions and the reality that a leader has to work with a gaggle of stubborn retards deeply wedged in the system all looking out for number 1 themselves while being under the spotlight from a fickle crowd of onlookers and media mavens. So they have to be intelligent and patient to look for the weak links in the chain to depose people like the usual DNC suspects and have a response for everything besides "Me king now me do what me want."

They will live and die thinking if you "only" get 65 percent of your demands during tough times and stacked decks against you that you've utterly lost and caved and cucked and should change your name to grug-cuck because you're a cave cuck now. And everything has never been so over and you should just go home and curl up in your goon cave and die because 65% is lower than 100% which means you lost completely.

It's reddit chicken little bullshit through the lense of a little dark age edit.
 
I think the expectation is that the government retards will either quit or raise enough of a fuss to provide a predicate for their removal.
It's a reasonable idea, but given what I've seen in the professional sector they may just end up with staff tolerating it and doing the bare minimum, for example;
  • Finishing early or starting late (or both)
  • only spending part of the day in-office and the rest at home
  • taking more sick leave (one un-intended upside to remote work is it encourages presenteeism)
  • etc
Not to say it can't be done, and based on precedent the Trump admin are the ones to do it since they won't let obstinate staff get away with being sneaky. I don't know enough about American employment laws to know if those kinds of things are cause for dismissal, but you'd have a hard time doing it in Australia.

Regardless, I can't wait to hear about more empty suits being laid off.

There's logistical troubles involved as well with how you can accurately track time spent in the office; while access gates do keep logs the speds that are responsible for those records being kept are... speds. On top of that you have to deal with offsite days, tailgating, etc.

Again I would be PL'ing by saying too much, but the costs associated with managing a 100% (or any fixed target tbh) aren't insignificant, and they scale with the size of your staff.

All this to say, if the end goal is to save money I feel there is a more sensible path forward that involves leaning into remote work more heavily where possible. The 80/20 thing is honestly unavoidable as a workforce gets bigger, and useless floaters will find a way to stick around regardless of if it's in an office or on Zoom.
 
Have the JFK assassination docs been declassified yet? Are they available to read anywhere?
