Tesla stock has plummeted since Elon Musk took over Twitter. Here's why.
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Tesla crushed in Consumer Reports reliability rankings despite improvement Posted on November 15, 2022 Tesla was found to be one of the most unreliable brands in America, according to Consumer Reports’ annual reliability report. Consumer Reports‘ annual reliability rankings have been released, and with data from 24 brands and over 300,000 vehicles, Tesla fell near the bottom (19/24) https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-placed-bottom-consumer-reports-reliability-rankings/ -
Matt Taibbi the so called journalist who Elon appointed to take over the twitter files investigation and releases in the last few installments has an interesting background: 2017: Matt Taibbi’s Not-So-Secret Russian Past https://jordanrussiacenter.org/news/matt-taibbis-not-secret-russian-past/#.Y6emw31ByUk 2017 Matt Taibbi’s Skepticism of the Russian Hacking Coverage Is all Wrong https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/04/04/matt-taibbis-skepticism-of-the-russian-hacking-coverage-is-all-wrong/ Twenty years ago, in Moscow, Matt Taibbi was a misogynist <deleted>—and possibly worse https://chicagoreader.com/blogs/twenty-years-ago-in-moscow-matt-taibbi-was-a-misogynist-<deleted>-and-possibly-worse/ Notice on his latest installment where he's now trying to discredit the CIA, its not even related to any files given to him by twitter: https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1606701519486988288

The anti vaxxers fail to observe that Kerryn is a zero covid proponent, she has some interesting re tweets and endorsements on her twitter feed. Additionally her personal submission includes: "This is an exceptional virus and it continues to circulate in the Australian community. I will leave it to the virologists to explain why it is exceptional from a virology point of view, but emerging information on long COVID tells us that we should be proceeding with far greater caution, as this virus is starting to demonstrate the extent of the risk of long-term effects on the body especially the immune system, lungs, brain, and cardiovascular system." “Learning to live with the virus” is some dystopian term that has been generated to deceive the population into carrying on as usual. Until they can’t. Medically vulnerable people will be further disenfranchised and marginalised, forced to live in relative isolation. As more people become infected and reinfected, there will be more cases of Long COVID leading to widespread long-term disability and more medically vulnerable people who should not be forced to take an increased risk of reinfection because public health has failed them. The organisation of which I am a member, OzSAGE, produced a position statement IMPORTANCE OF COVID-19 VACCINATION & DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER SYSTEMS FOR MANAGEMENT OF UNCOMMON SUBSEQUENT ADVERSE EVENTS"

Why would I want to spend money on a book when the internet provides free information? So instead of copying and pasting your original post from this link above and passing it off as your own, why did you not attribute it rather than argue that my links portrayed the same, which they don't? I'm not going to debate with you further as your article from Larsen is clearly opposing Ukraine joining NATO "WHY NATO SHOULD NOT OFFER UKRAINE AND GEORGIA MEMBERSHIP ACTION PLANS"

Taliban suspend university education for women in Afghanistan
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Their early popularity was largely due to their success in stamping out corruption, curbing lawlessness and making the roads and the areas under their control safe for commerce to flourish. But the Taliban also introduced or supported punishments in line with their strict interpretation of Sharia law - such as public executions of convicted murderers and adulterers, as well as amputations for those found guilty of theft. Men were required to grow beards and women had to wear the all-covering burka. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-11451718 -
No you said: "They weren't aloud to join as they have missed so many European Union, International Monetary Fund, and U.S. reform encouragements since 2014. This is further undercut by the reality that Ukraine is not in control of all of its territory. Russia has annexed Crimea and supports separatist republics in the Donbas" So................. They weren't aloud to join as they have missed so many European Union, International Monetary Fund, and U.S. reform encouragements since 2014 Please provide a link to this claim.

Taliban suspend university education for women in Afghanistan
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Originating from northern Pakistan. It is believed that the predominantly Pashtun movement first appeared in religious seminaries - mostly paid for by money from Saudi Arabia - which preached a hardline form of Sunni Islam. -
How exactly is that agreeing with your post that you still have not substantiated? Do you want reminding of it yet again?

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
A terrorists version of making significant progress towards "demilitarising" Ukraine. -
I'd call it exacly what it is: "The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries," "As evidenced in this correspondence, the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to protect themselves and their customers. The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public." "It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency,"

Please don't talk to me about rules "However, she still strongly supports Covid vaccination as the benefits far outweighed the risks for the vast majority of people." "Available vaccines lower the risk of hospitalization and death" The aim of this position statement is to reinforce the importance of COVID-19 vaccination, and of remaining up to date in line with the ATAGI recommended vaccination schedule, and of supporting global vaccine equity

I already provided a link to the 5 - 10 year period. Sweden and Finland as you well know are not at war and have a fully developed military, government and democracy.

Your claim: "They weren't aloud to join as they have missed so many European Union, International Monetary Fund, and U.S. reform encouragements since 2014. This is further undercut by the reality that Ukraine is not in control of all of its territory. Russia has annexed Crimea and supports separatist republics in the Donbas" No link then? Read them, that's why I posted them, the key to that statement being that was reported for January this year. Zelensky offered to not join and Putin ignored that offer, Ukraine then applied Ukraine formally applies for fast-track NATO membership

A couple of examples where vaccinations reduce death rates, both from real world stats and studies: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-covid-19-deaths-by-vaccination-status?country=~50%2B Covid-19 vaccines have saved more than 3 million lives in US, study says https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/13/health/covid-19-vaccines-study/index.html

Right, your so well versed you fail to read specific links that are relevant and make false assumptions. My opinions are based on credible fact based research that does not need to be hidden. Impossible to debate when only one can produce facts and the other can only provide false beliefs. That said I'm not letting differences come between us in other threads but covid is clear.

You're repeating yourself, a few posts ago you said you didn't do that.......... Dr Phelps made some excellent recommendations as well as stating clearly that: "strongly supports Covid vaccination as the benefits far outweighed the risks for the vast majority of people." Cherry picking your conspiracy beliefs yet again. You said you didn't believe that bit.
