    But most of them pulled a Captain Kirk a la Kobayashi Maru.

    How do you think vaccines work? They don't put a protective shell around you to prevent you from getting infected. If you're vaccinated all you have to do to get infected is come in contact with the virus again. What the vaccine does is help your body's immune system fight the infection, and the...

    The Fake News Depot

    This just in... The Republicans have cheated and stolen the 2022 midterm elections. That's the narrative they're already putting out there, so get ready for it. CNN touched on it, MSNBC devoted serious time to it, as well as most of the others in the MSM press.

    That's pretty funny. The author is whining about how conservatives pounced on the news to cast doubt, but the MSM, including the author's own NYT, said Powell's death proves that its even more important to get the vaccine, especially the booster shots, because if he can die while being...

    The Trump Card...

    I wonder if the Climate Change Domestic Terrorists who rioted over at Interior will be prosecuted with the same intensity.

    Pretty interesting article. Since people won't read it or will dismiss it because it might be, maybe, possibly, be politically biased. But just the same, the numbers are what they are. People have long known or suspected the pandemic itself, and certainly the response to it, doesn't pass the...

    You want to be careful about the context of the "percent" and what it means, and to be especially careful falling into the "breakthrough cases" trap that many in the media are ignorantly telling us about. Somebody who has been vaccinated for COVID and then months later tests positive, that's...

    The problem is where you get your information from experts and how much credence you give the experts. Scientific disagreements among experts has been going on since the scientific method was first invented. Scientists will lie and cheat and fudge data for a myriad of reasons, not the least of...

    President O'Biden

    Gas prices go up and down regardless of who is president. US presidents have minimal impact on the world oil prices. Trump was a little different in that he was unusually involved in oil markets. FactCheck.org gave Trump credit for 25% of the world oil and gas prices, with most presidents having...

    And as with all other antibiotics, has no effect on viruses. Even under the guise of rank sarcasm, that's breathtaking. Even using the 'cover all the bases' metaphor, you don't cover bases with players who have no glove, and no arms and no legs. The bases aren't being covered by the silliness of...

    President O'Biden

    He has, after all, according to Jen Psaki, been working on the supply chain issues since his first day in office. The problem is, clearly, he's been working hard to make it a crisis instead of solving the problems. So... good job, Joe.

    President O'Biden

    The picture of that sticker next to the price of gas is hilarious. And it would still be hilarious even if it wasn't true. But what's even more hilarious is the fact that the meme was dismissed because somebody thinks it's not true, as if that matters even a little bit. But then again, liberals...

    Thanks for that. I haven't really looked into ivermectin at all, certainly not any studies about it. It appears that it can be more beneficial in reducing deaths than I thought. It's interesting that they state it needs to be used early in the course of treatment, which based on what I know...

    Is a fuel card a carrier's responsibility?

    If the drivers are employees, I would think it is the responsibility of the carrier to provide fuel for their trucks, either at the terminal or via fuel card. For owner/operators it's not really the carrier's responsibility, to provide fuel cards, but it is in the best interest of the carrier to...

    Because of how Ivermectin works (in preventing foreign organisms in the body from replicating) it's likely to be, at least in theory, somewhat effective for COVID. That's why someone thought of trying it out to see if it was any benefit. Turns out it works quite well in some individuals, and not...

    Ivermectin is a human drug that is prescribed for millions of people around the world every day, and is also sometimes prescribed for horses and other animals. The same is true of Tramadol, amoxicillin, and prednisone.

    A contagious virus is neither political nor social, unless you allow it to be. It's biological and medical. The virus and its biology is not going to be affected by any political or social advice you get. I wouldn't recommend getting covid-19 advice from biased news outlets, which is all of...

    The point is, the real experts, with letters after their names and everything, can't agree on the scientific basics and have allowed the science to become politicized. The real experts with letters after their names have reduced their own credibility to precisely that of the woman at the dealership.

    CREDIT/FINANCING REQUIREMENTS (SPRINTER VAN)

    None of your posts make sense, and everything about your account screams foreign spammer. And now, boom, a link to a Norwegian bank. You don't know your first thing about expediting, yet you claim to be a dispatcher. Bub eye.
