Over 5 years we are certainly looking at $10 trillion. Now I'm just waiting for Trump to say he's solved the social security deficit problem.
18k x 150k = 2.7 Billion, not trillion. But I won't be surpised if those funds vanish and Social Security is continued to be peddled as a "failed program" in need of being cut.
I just hope I get a refund of all the social security withholdings I've paid over the years if they deem it a "failed" program.

I'm doing Trump math. Don't try to correct me

Scroll down to comorbidities.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htmI am saying the numbers are falsely recorded. This is the same exact thing as if I had cancer and was dying then got in a car wreck. It would be death by car wreck, not cancer.
I am not saying 65 and over don't matter. I am saying the working force is 16-65 and why are we shut down, why are schools shut down that 330 kids between 0-25 have died from it.
Quit being sheep of the media and being afraid to leave your house.
Okay here's a better example. What if the cancer weakened your body to the point where an accident that you would have otherwise survived was enough to kill you. We know the virus causes circulation problems so its not a stretch to conclude that in many of these cases it would have contributed to the heart attack or stroke that killed them.
Schools are shut bc kids bring it home to their parents dude.

AIDS is also a great example, the HIV virus can't kill you by itself, but it leaves the body unable to defend itself from just about anything else. Nobody "dies" from AIDS, but many people who would have otherwise been perfectly fine die because of AIDS.

It's amazing how many arguments I've seen about the kids thing not realizing it's bringing it home to their parents after it being spread throughout the school...would spread like wildfire.

Sorry - I the fixed the link. The link is for a documentary on Covid-19 I saw. If you have the time to watch it (a little over an hour) - it is worth it. Very eye opening.

Just because there's a documentary on something, even if it has some production budget, doesn't mean it has any actual value or truth behind it.

I don't care about the budget quality of the film - I just thought the information presented in the film was interesting. People can watch it and make-up their own opinion, or just save time and trust the experts like snopes.

1) Bitchute is right-wing hate because wikipedia said so.
2) The only truthful stuff is on the MSM, youtube, and wikipedia.
3) Everything else are conspiracy theories that promote violence and hate
I should have known, my bad. Easy - saves me some time - just accept the mainstream narrative (because it's always true).

This probably won't be funny to many here since no one watched football here....but I find it hilarious
From this play as the Seahawks, where Russell Wilson rarely makes mistakes, is intercepted by Budda Baker right when the Seahawks were about to score...

I want to give a big shoutout to all our forum users here.
Things have been tense in the US. This election cycle has been crazy. Yet with everything going on things here have remained civil, and there has been little to no talk about the current election situation. I like that. I like that people are keeping this (For the most part) a basketball forum. Thank you guys! You are the reason why the Suns board is one of the best on RealGM, and in my opinion the best Suns forum on the internet!

No, Bitchute is a haven for right wing-hate because YouTube tends to censor right-wing hate and videos that propagate harmful conspiracy information, and so said videos end up on Bitchute where such content is uncensored, if not encouraged. I won't go as far to say Bitchute actively encourages it, but Wikipedia is only noting an obvious observation about the content hosted there.

Youtube censors and or demonitizes anything that doesn't align with their political agenda. Just like every other big tech company. When big tech and MSN are the main source of information they control whatever narrative they choose. Mocking bird tactics (tell a lie enough times and eventually is taken as truth) are rampant right now. you call it conspiracy theory when really it's plain as day that that big media controls the minds of way too many Americans.
"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”

Yeah, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc, control too many people's minds. Then you have people believing anything Trump said that made it 10x worse...all the people thinking there was cheating, etc. So glad we moved on from that..wish we could move on from Fox News and some of those radio shows that control the sheep.
