November 2020?

First thing that came up. I can’t sift through all the propaganda right now, but excess mortality is barely changed. We lost a few thousand extra baby boomers, and that’s about it.

[Montegriffo]

I didn't say that.
There are multiple reasons for the under-reporting.
A lot of people died untested for covid so their deaths couldn't be recorded as covid deaths. Especially early on in the pandamic.

Clown.
You're up here blathering about how COVID is even worse than we're being told.
And we're pretty much being told the world has to come to a stop, and government must take over everything for our safety.

Are you fucking high?
Honestly man. we clearly view things differently, and that's cool.
But this is the first post you've made where I've honestly had to consider the possibility that your mental game is seriously impaired.

Really man, just the idea that COVID is actually worse than the end-of-the-world event we're being told it is daily - how?
How do you get to that point in your reasoning?
How much ganja does it take to get to the summit of that stupid idea?

Who told you it was an end of world event?
Certainly not me.
It's still about not overwhelming the hospital's. Same as it was from the start.
It's still about protecting the vulnerable too it's just that the vulnerable are now the unvaccinated..

[Montegriffo]

the government uses overwrought hysteria to pass all its draconian laws now

No, man... no.... Dr. Wheat Thresher has informed me that COVID is actually waaaaaay worse than the overwrought hysteria we're currently exposed to. So. Much. Worse.
They're constantly telling you to panic because what you should actually be doing is contemplating suicide.
But they're putting a positive spin on all this for us.
Really.
Ask the part time farmhand.
He knows.

Could thatch a mansion with all that straw maan.

I don't find Monte to be susceptible to argument, trying to prove anything to him is a fool's errand

I am in the class of people who is profiting from the pandemic, just on real estate alone

he's the one who is short of cash, so it's punishing him not me

Exactly, my industry has been hit harder than most by the restrictions.
Yet it is the people who are retired or working from home bitching the most about "lockdowns" which haven't even been in place for months.

That's the great lie you always fall for, isn't it?
This myth that allowing the government to act more intrusively upon the lives of citizens is actually *you* helping "the vulnerable".
But you haven't helped anyone, Monte.
You're just living like you always do.
You aren't the government.
The government is getting more power, and acting more intrusively.
But you're just sitting there.
Believing the government when they tell you that *you* helped someone.

You ain't did shit.

I don't believe much that my government tells me.
Boris doesn't have much of a reputation for honesty.
I tend to listen to the epidemiologists.
Same as I take my car to a mechanic for treatment and advice.

I choose not to argue with you about it, it's not worth getting into fights over

I am opposed to the draconian rules on principle, for the poor boys like you

but I can't say I'm not profiting from it, this has been one of the biggest equity gains of my entire life

mind you, I don't spend this money on myself, I just buy smokes, booze, dope & McDonald's coffees

this money will ultimately be inherited by my niece and her children

she never had a father, raised by a single mom, so I will be her crazy rich uncle & benefactor

There’s a substantial difference between the mechanic that you pay directly, and the one on tv telling you what to do.
