The Corrupt System Behind Covid Medical Shortages.
People were blaming Covid for bringing down the medical system. In reality, the medical system was already sclerotic and nearly any stressor would’ve resulted in its failing. Yes, Covid was the proximate cause. But it was not the deeper one that had been ongoing for decades. The Covidians really fucked us over on this too, preventing reform and denying any other causes.
Here’s How Ukraine Could Retake Crimea.
I think this is possible but unlikely. It’d be a massive military undertaking of an already-depleted Ukrainian force which would have to strike very soon after defeating Russia in the rest of Ukraine. Otherwise, there probably would not be another chance.
Ukraine taking back Crimea I’d assign a 20% probability. I hope they do but it’s not too probable.
This doesn’t really pertain to me as I don’t have kids and make enough money where it doesn’t affect me. But I’m an unusual case so the post is is true of most men and women.
But you can tell the inflation numbers are absolute bullshit when I compare myself to my maternal grandfather. He had three houses, a nice car, raised three kids, had tons of hobby stuff — all on what today would be around $80,000 per year. I make well more than double that in just salary alone and I couldn’t do that. Not even close.
This economy is killing me and I don’t know what to do anymore.
The above is what it’s really like for people out there now.
I don’t post many selfies, but this is me at 46 years old — taken a few weeks ago:
No filters, no Photoshop, none of the shit the kids use these days so that they don’t even look human in pics. Just plain me. Not bad for 46.
