Flubros and Flubras! Day 134 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

I was thinking about the obvious - money motivates people. In socialist countries with public health care there is an incentive for seniors to die - they are an economic burden due to health care and they don’t pay much, if anything, in income taxes. This is not only true in socialist countries. It is also true in countries/states with bad debt and deficit problems, in addition to some degree of socialist health care (eg medicare/medicaid). Could hydroxychloroquine suppression and sending CV positive people into seniors homes by done intentionally so as to save money? Sure, as long as the politician can deflect away much of the blame that goes with Covid deaths.

Another money motivator that has happened with CV is getting paid by the federal government for taking care of CV people (39k). Similarly, a hospital that is capable of billing unlimited CV “adders” to insurers would be motivated to have CV patients.

What is the point of discussing these motivators? - there is an excellent chance that the published death rate in a country is substantially driven by these financial incentives. High financial incentives leads to high CV death rates - eg. NY has financial issues and socialized health care areas in Northern Europe such as Belgium have highest deaths per million in the world. Low CV death rates are occurring in poor nations which don’t have these financial motivators.

I emailed Rand Paul begging him to question Fauci about this.
He didn’t. I suspect that since I don’t live in Kentucky his staffers short-stopped my message.

Wow, get a load of this very surprising tweet from Mike Pence.

Mike Pence

Our hearts grieve for the fact that 1 in 5 of all the American lives lost in the Coronavirus pandemic were lost in the state of New York and some of that was because of poor decisions by the state and by Governor Cuomo.

Really kind of shocked that this came from Pence who has been pretty much a cardboard cut-out through this entire thing. It appears they are going to play Pin the Tail on Andrew Cuomo. The gloves are off.

May mean that’s who they are sizing up to take Pedo Joe’s place on the ticket.

They can’t seem to find a woman who isn’t certifiable, and they are NOT going to ask Tulsi Gabbard.

Is she still around? Amazing how the Left silences their own when they act up.

You could be right. If so it’s thinking three or four chess moves ahead.

I had a long argument with a Democrat acquaintance of mine who was pushing for Tulsi Gabbard. Told him no way, no how the base of his party would ever allow that. To them she is practically Reagan.

She did a podcast on the Joe Rogan show. She’s pretty dangerous, as in she’s articulate and sane and Democrat.

Fortunately, she isn’t qualified by their side to be anywhere near the levers of power. (Can’t be sane, and I’m not being funny).

This further supports your theory. Cuomo refusing to raise taxes.

I JUST posted to this fact not a few seconds ago. They need someone who is completely compromised criminally, but sane and articulate politically. That’s no mean feat.

Pelosi’s SQUAD problem may end up taking care of itself at the polls.

In Seattle, no such luck. They’ve got an immigrant militant Communist who has pretty much ousted the mayor. She is running things down there, making demands from her house via Zoom.

You watch the footage, and you swear you are looking at that female spox the Ayatollah was using during the Iranian Hostage Crisis.

What a mess in Seattle, in WA State.

Cuomo/Newsome delivers NY and CA, which is a start. It may be that desperate around there.

I think they may be trying to decide when to Article 25, prior to the election or after the election.

And then there’s Bernie. Silence. And probably because he’s done a good job in the primaries, and then at the end gets sugared off in a massive way.

I think the last thing that guy wants to do is be President. However, he’s not above making a big buck showing people how to run for Presient. He’s very good at it.

A Seattle journalist appeared on one of our local talk shows and said that their whacko mayor was actually considered to be a moderate in the local paradigm, and that there was a long line of more radical folks waiting to take her place.

That chilled my blood frankly.

Well, and here you are, reading this thread everyday yourself.

You call BS on stats you don’t like or don’t fit your personal narrative.

I’m pretty sure if you had something better to do, you’d be doing it. Right?

But verbally attacking a Doctor makes you feel good.

Why so angry? Perhaps pretending there really isn’t a virus is hard to do when it’s surging and good loyal Conservatives are reacting with new lockdowns and mask requirements.

I’m sure you know more about this whole Covid-19 thingy than Governors Abbott and DeSantis..........

Thanks.

I hadn’t seen his dad in a while until I got an email yesterday from a health site with a click-thru bait to this:

Sorry to disappoint, been here for a very long time, since the late 90s.

I left for a while and returned with a different name. My real name.

Welcome to you Junior.

Oh, I support Whitless because I disagree with your attitude, insults, and theories?

Ok FreeRepublic/Facebook Medical Degree Doctor. Darwin loves you.

You're a newby alright.

Oh, you didn't disappoint. Your an excellent example of the face of FR, crawling with thread disrupters, and why I rarely recommend anyone come here anymore.

Continue assisting the Democratic narrative and be compliant with the demands of your governor to wear a mask, hopefully it will contain your projectile spew. If only she had required stationary thumb vises.

While there on your knees you can continue to pay homage to your lessor gods Drs Kozak, Fauci, Birx, Murray et al like the "good loyal Conservative" you are, and fix your damn roads.
