* "Canada were quick to raise barriers against American goods. The drift toward economic nationalism threatened not only the world trading community but the world financial community as well."
i'd heard of Canada doing this but still, interesting that this is noted here -- how many of the millions of americans put out of work were because of the US-Can tariffs, and the response on our side? Surely some of it.
* "Senator Gore of Oklahoma [grandpa of Gore Vidal] probably spoke a general sentiment when he said dourly in 1931 that you could no more relieve depression by laws "than you can pass a resolution to prevent disease. This is an economic disease. You might just as well try to prevent the human race from having a disease as to prevent economic grief of this sort".
This is just gobsmacking. THEY HAD VACCINES BY 1931. And 1931 was even the year that second generation cell-line derived smallpox vaccines were made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine -- legislated prevention of smallpox was *well* under way by this point and cholera was virtually eliminated in the US. SURELY someone could have hit him with the cluestick then that YES YOU CAN PREVENT DISEASE AND LEGISLATION IS PART OF HOW YOU DO THIS
and the converse is also implied: if you can prevent disease, why not economic depression??
I think we can safely say that this woman is wrong about pretty much everything, including but not limited to the kids who got autism 18 months after being vaccinated having their autism caused by the vaccine.
2009 > They were half joking, but jet, an 8th grader, almost got put in charge of me. Seriously, how did I go to school for so long(25 years???), take management courses...only to be surpased by a slacker gr.8er?
[he should be graduated university by now, if he went]
2014 dream: "I was in a museum, perhaps the science centre. I was asked to choose sides, by choosing a steel or carbon fibre mandala. Nazi, woodsman or american."
[ this dream was closer than i thought it would be ]
ie new york is 'probably fucked', corn yields can be expected to fall 30-40%. 40% of earths species at risk for extinction[that includes us btw] We're locked in for >= ~300,000 years at this point unless we do something.
2020 jeff, reading the literature on covid as it was coming out pretty much realtime...finding lots of SIR models and none that actually considered the possibility of reinfection.
2021 "But the people who are still adding mouths to feed at this point? Like why am I even working at trying to help kids when people can't keep from making more of them."
2022 * Mass murder required mass secrecy, in practice. In all of the major powers. Systematic murder required systematic secrecy.
2023 One thing I've learned with time is how many really dumb mistakes young women make. I would have been totally blind to them as a young man, the idea that young women might make consistent mistakes that their peers and elders might judge them on would have been unthinkable to the younger, single jeff.
2024 > Ty Thiessen ๐พ (@ABtythiessen4) on X > @salhousser #Saskatchewan built less homes than New Brunswick, which has 2/3rds of Saskโs population. We need to TRIPLE housing starts to *break even* with our current population growth. Tha tโs the worst gap in Canada. This is a disaster.
2025 "Well now that the trump has officially scrapped a huge portions of the US constitution as of this morning, canada has the ability to > enter into any Agreement or Compact with US states. ie Canada could sign a free trade/mutual defence agreement with California, completely ignoring the US federal government and bypassing all US tariffs. It would be much better to do *that* than to respond to the US with self-destructive retaliatory tariffs. "
@Grumblesock@Humpleupagus@grey the vaxxes helped save tens of millions of lives, but please do go on which other vaccines are 'filth'? Gardasil? Varicella?? Polio???
