Yours neither, you can't spell shtick correctly.

American life expectancy post COVID declined significantly. Australian life expectancy had a small decrease. When you are in a hole, it's best to stop digging.

Closest to an emergency exit. Sheer luck. Yet to see a Brit in Australia that does not go red as a beetroot in the first 48 hours.

Average life expectancy Americans 78 years. Average life expectancy Australians 83 years. COVID vaccine uptake rate in Australia 95%. COVID vaccine uptake rate in America 70%.

Look on the bright side, uneducated MAGA's will have a higher death toll.

The only surprising aspect of your post is you can actually spell the word correctly.

Have you ever got tickets on yourself. Like Peter Sellers, you probably look in the mirror several times a day, and say " My God, but you're lovely". As far as China goes, I am a realist. The stranglehold on rare earths is not propaganda, it is fact. Opinions are only accurate based on fact, the origin of coronavirus is still a mystery. It's a great topic for the tin hat brigade to chew on.

She would only do it one time. Cut off the money supply, and move.

Apparently the Airbus score of fatalities in the same time frame is 79.

Highest prison population in the world. The average American family is $120,000 in debt. The national debt is $36 trillion. Highest incidence of mass shootings of any nation. Streets ahead of anyone else. World's most expensive medical system. 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. You call that successful?

Every other national leader knows manipulating Trump is by using flattery. They all despise him, Putin plays him like a fiddle. So patriotic he faked bone spurs to get out of military service. Doesn't stop him from milking the taxpayer for $800,000 every time he plays golf. You have an unlimited capacity for self-delusion.

MTG is beautiful? Ugly as a hatful of bums.

No-one knows whether coronavirus was accidental or the result of an experiment gone wrong. It certainly did not do the Chinese economy any good, entire cities were in lockdown. You seem to be confusing me with someone who gives a rat's rectum for your ignorant opinion.

Are you in some kind of competition for the most utterly irrelevant post on this thread?

Facts of life: China mines 70% of the world's rare earths. It processes 90% into useable form. The US military is dependent on rare earths for advanced weapons technologies. America only has one operating rare earth mine. It sends its production to China for beneficiation. Putting it bluntly, Xi has Trump's testicles in a vice.

Do any of the engineering geniuses at Tesla explain what causes phantom braking? That should be a complete turnoff for prospective customers.

Putin was told what he wanted to hear by his FSB buddies, he thought Ukraine would be a pushover. It's a common occurrence with dictators, to surround themselves with yes-men. Something Americans should take note of. Invading Crimea (2014) and the Donbas (2022) was not an escalation? Stop posting BS.

I don't know why people get their knickers in a twist on this topic. Research shows there are gay populations in about 1500 animal species, no reason to suppose homo sapiens should be any different.

IMO traveling on the company dime and having a weekend in a new city to explore takes some beating. Opportunity paid for by someone else. Did the cable car thing in SF, I thought Fisherman's Wharf and Yosemite National Park were great. On the other side of America, took a bayou cruise with a guy who kept pet alligators, until they got too big. I've been driven through the Philadelphia projects, it felt just like Soweto.

Golf, swimming, exercise, making YouTube videos, Watching TV series. Playing classical music. Pa som sip with my GF. Cooking. Reading books, I am one of Amazon's best customers. Seems to me the OP missed out when imagination was being distributed.

When you are that rich, losing a billion here or there becomes a minor inconvenience.

The same Horowitz who supported the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine? You might do better wondering whether the incoming ACIP members have any qualifications, apart from loyalty to RFK.

Apology accepted. While it is old data, the homicide rate in the Philippines (8.8 per 100,000, 2013 ) is significantly higher than Thailand ( 2.4 per 100,000, 2020 ). The ratio is much worse for robbery, Thailand tends to be theft by stealth, not violence. That's a deal-breaker for many older retirees.

Red Phoenix stands out as a RFK candidate.

No wonder Trump wants to get rid of his Tesla...... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-11/tesla-phantom-braking-australia-class-action-lawsuit/105395490
