on a side note, 268K fewer pumping money into social security and 817K fewer people taking out. Interesting. Maybe a government plot
I think you're on to something there, and to paraphrase a somewhat famous saying "...it would be irresponsible NOT to speculate."
I don't know if they've actually crunched the numbers so to speak, and decided this is a better way to finally gut social security & retirement programs, or they really only want to see the social system they govern and profit extensively from continue to hum along, without regard for how many people die, how much our life expectancy falls during the time, or how sick we get.
There's a huge gap between what people in power, or with political clout (and even some of our nominal political leaders (such as this person)) are saying and doing, and what they're telling us to do.
There's been a bit of press about how much more stringent the COVID protections are Davos & the World Economica Forum, versus what those same people in attendence are telling us we have to live with. Some of this press is even from non-libtard or non-"socialistic" sources, like Forbes (link):
Now, if you were someone who somehow thought that Covid-19 precautions were no longer needed, you might be inclined to say, ?WTF WEF,? after seeing that WEF list. For example, the WEF still has fairly stringent Covid-19 testing requirements: ?Participants are required to get tested in one of the Forum testing centres after arriving in Davos and picking up their badge. Conducting a test will keep the badge active and grant the access to the Annual Meeting?s venues. Failing to conduct an onsite test or a positive test result will lead to the badge being deactivated.? Badge getting deactivated sounds like they?re taking this Covid-19 thing pretty seriously.
And apparently the WEF has been facing the facts that face masks can prevent transmission of the virus with the following requirement: ?On Forum-provided official transport, all drivers will wear masks at all times.? The WEF has also been offering participants free face masks, both surgical and higher-quality filtering face piece 2 (FFP2) masks. The FFP2 masks use the European standard and are nearly comparable to N95 respirators.
Who would the "useful idiots" be here? The people - for 3 years now - urging caution for others, and begging our political establishment to take this more seriously (at least in their policies that affect everyone, not just billionaires...), or the people going along with the billionaires are saying, but not themselves doing?And apparently the WEF has been facing the facts that face masks can prevent transmission of the virus with the following requirement: ?On Forum-provided official transport, all drivers will wear masks at all times.?
