  1. No one is self made. There is a whole chain through society, beginning with your parents, that makes you what you are. Without them you'd be ant food. Bezos is not the first businesan in this country to form his own trust to shut everyone else down. We have laws against what they're doing, but the system of justice is worn down and jaded in this country.

  2. He's the man for the job. Trump would have choked. 😂 The Javelins they shipped in before the attempt on K'yiv made all the difference. The Russians were counting on their armor to break through and instead it evaporated before their eyes.

  3. This guy's trying to put words in his mouth and he's ignoring him.

  4. The main thing raising the Fed rate does is raise the mortgage rate, which brings down housing prices. It is doing that, but not much else so far. It's supposed to be one of those trickle down things and reduce general prices, but it's not working very well. The Fed waited way, way too long, and this is the result.

  5. If the other Miles O'Brian was there, they wouldn't be having these problems! (maybe aliens, but mechanical failure? I doubt it!)

  6. The Russian mafia put Putin in power. They gave Yeltsin an offer he couldn't refuse. Looks a lot like they did the same thing with Trump, except they made him run for President instead of stepping down. ðŸĪŠ

  7. Actually, it's proven that nuclear power is one of the safest ways to get electricity.

  8. Briilliant move giving Russia and China veto power in the UN Security Council. 😉

  9. Bacteria can't evolve if it doesn't survive treatment. Stop underprescribing antibiotics. A full course of treatment is the only way to stop superbugs from developing.

  10. I wish they WOULD regulate it. Supplements can replace a lot of toxic medicine. It's big pharma that's fighting government recognition. Go back to WWI and the military research on nutrition.

  11. Isn't that what "Politician" means?

  12. If Clinton had been elected, it would have been war, because Putin would not have given up without a fight. Now, we're looking at Putin's Sudetenland.

  13. It's better to burn natural gas that to leak it into the atmosphere. Natural Gas is Methane. We need to burn it instead of leaking it. It's 80 times worse for global warming than CO2. The fossil politicians are playing word games to baffle the public. What we really need is our forests back, and to stop hamstringing nuclear research. We should have had fusion power by now. We get fusion working and replant the forests, and it's problem solved. Everything can be emissions free electric and hydrogen power.

  14. China lied, then our own government lied because we didn't have enough PPE to go around, so a whole lot of people without masks got sick really fast. It didn't help that they didn't know it was airborne, which should have been obvious to any healthcare worker.

  15. Superbugs are caused by UNDER prescribing antibiotics: bacteria cannot evolve if they don't survive treatment. These are caused by incomplete regimens, either from insufficient prescription or noncompletion by the patients.

  16. Sounds like we found a nice hiding place for more government corruption. When you see that smug look on a government official, you know they're making too much money... My credit card statement does have all that information calculated out every month. It's still way more interest than it should be. I had a few problems myself this year. I usually treat it like an American Express and pay it off like I have no choice. It's nice to know you have a buffer though.

  17. Well, you can go back several years and find me saying we were waiting too long too start raising rates, but the concensus is clear in this video now. We need the Fed to slow down. They do not have to lower rates right now, but inflation is slowing. They can afford to wait and watch now.

  18. So then, you shop at Amazon instead, which is even worse! I watched this is 2004. The reason Amazon is beating them now is better software. The problem with these methods of driving prices down also drive quality down. There's a bottom there where products are no longer worth any price.

  19. There needs to be a specifiic and finite use of antibiotics. Dead bacteria cannot evolve, so if you finish an effective treatment, there will evolve no superbug. You must either use them properly, or not use them at all. Otherwise, you're actively breading superbugs. If you're haphazardly treating animals with antibiotics, there is no way to know whether you have destroyed a bacteria or not. Therefor the likelyhood of evolving a superbug is massively increased. So, at this point the USDA and the FDA need to get more involved. Maybe they could develop another way to increase productivity without potentially killing paying consumers. Interestingly, because the bacteria are such simple organizms, you would think they couldn't adapt to more than one antibiotic. ðŸĪ” WASH YOUR HANDS!!! 👐 Why don't we have the USDA in on this! It's amazing this has taken so long.

  20. Well, gold is expensive, they should be able to afford to mine it without screwing up the environment. That the Federal government is not funded to do its diligence in this area is pure political corruption. Can they look you in the eye and say it won't be a problem?

  21. We're just batteries.

  22. Stop underprescribing antibiotics. When bacteria survive, onlly then can they mutate into something stronger.

  23. A lot of medical practitioners don't understand that in order for a resistant strain of bacteria to develop, there have to be survivors of the previous treatment. Under prescribing antibiotics is just as bad as over prescribing them, if not worse. The bacteria that isn't killed by the treatment is what is developing into these new strains. It's basic Darwinian evolution. When these poultry farms fail to completely sanitize their facilities, they become breading grounds for more resistant bacteria.

  24. Underprescribing antibiotics is just as bad as overprescribing. The bacteria can't adapt if it doesn't survive the treatment. Underprescribing antibiotics allows bacteria to survive treatment.

  25. Common citizens are thought of as a commodity.

  26. Everyone is ignoring the Elephant in the Report, which is Congress. The so called champions of the Working Class are preventing the government from serving the very same people that they're supposed to be protecting. Now, China is taking advantage of their folly to pad it's own rich people's pockets. There is a fiat money gap between us and China. They're printing 5 times their GDP, and they've got North Korea printing U.S. Dollars overtime. We're simply not printing enough! We need, MORE! ðŸĪ‘ðŸĪ‘ If the Fed is this important, you can be sure the Chinese PLA has infiltrated it from both ends of the Pacific. Everyone is ignoring the Elephant in the Room, which is Congress. The Teabaggers and other nonworking sissies in the Republican Party are stopping the economy from taking care of the working class. All at the same time, they're claiming to help middle america, they're stealing from them to pad their own portfolios. Quacks and Horse Traders they are.

  27. Good Man. The police need outside help, not some "Internal Affairs", i.e. buddy system. It doesn't help either, that we keep hiring the wrong kind of people for the job. The screening criteria is horrendous!
