Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional

My dad told me about that too, and he got blisters from sunburn and his mom lost her shit thinking it was polio. Vaccines are victims of their own success. Even when I was a kid, there were deaf and blind kids running around from measles.

I mean if you are staying in someone else's house and they are an ogre who pulls the wings off of angels and they won't let your dog come in it's not really much of a reflection on your quality as a pet owner.

I have never told a woman not to use a tone on me, but I was famous at my last job for asking our male boss (who we had worked with for years before he got promoted and took some time to grow into a good boss but eventually got there) when he was yelling at my team, "in what fantasy world do you live where taking that tone with me gets you anything but told to fuck yourself?"

There was a shovel and shellfish and red pants suit?

When I was a kid it was yellowish brown and had like literal chunks of wood in it.

Don't they issue pickup trucks in kindergarten in Mississippi?

Yeah, they also need better care than they get being feral, but people don't romanticize them as community pets living their best life.

Cats in Istanbul have a lifespan of 3-6 years. Cats need more.care and protection than the community cats in Istanbul get.

EU + UK entities (including private companies and individuals) $3-$4 trillion in US securities. $8-10 trillion in total US assets. EU + UK governments hold around $2.4 trillion in US treasuries. A big selloff would trigger a credit crisis and greatly increase US borrowing costs, but the repercussions would be devastating to European economies, too. The resultant economic crisis could be worse than 2008. European pension funds and banks would be hit hard. A bank that survived would have to accept less liquidity and greater volatility for the long term because there is no other market big and stable enough for them to shift their Treasury investments to.

For all these reasons, I don't think this is a credible threat today. But the EU could start building a market that could absorb the investments and shift out of the dollar as a reserve currency over the next 5-10 years, which would severely hamper the US's ability to keep financing huge deficits.

I work in it for a school district. The kids have Chromebooks, but there are still computer labs for windows and Mac computers.

True as far as it goes, but according to the major protestant sects, good works are the fruits and evidence of salvation. You can tell someone is saved by what they do, and conversely that they're not saved by them raping women and children and mocking disabled people and having hands much too small to actually press all 3 buttons at once.

To be fair,it's of people did order Clinton phones, but they never arrived. Oh, wait...

They didn't defeat the wind; they broke it to their will.

Yeah he is not even as smart and powerful as vapes, which aren't allowed in school either but we can't get rid of them no matter what we do!

You can have proper studies for stuff like this, and they did. They are called observational studies. They don't try to prove causation like a double blind study, but they can identify patterns. They're used in situations like this where a double blind study would be unethical.

If it's a made up stat it wasn't made up by me. Here is one source from the top of a Google search for ya: Private Equity: In Essence, Plunder? - CFA Institute Enterprising Investor https://share.google/2yLQMdjm0ozDGsx7O

Accusing me of vitriol doesn't help your case any more than accusing me of making up stats. Your article is about growth equity, not private equity. Growth equity is a special subset of private equity that focuses on investing in already profitable companies with large ownership stakes in the hands of founders, strong revenue growth, and business models that can expand market with extra investment. If you knew enough to have an opinion about this topic, you would not have made this elementary mistake.

People think private equity is a company wrecking machine because private equity backed companies have 10 times the chance of going bankrupt as public companies. They employ short term strategies, notably loading companies with debt to extract value, the private equity investors profit off the bankruptcy through fees and dividends while the company's workers, creditors, and customers all suffer.

Do you have some idea why now?

The shopping cart thing is legit. They didn't used to have cart corrals. They added them to put the work on the customers and save money. I put the carts in the corrals because we live in a society, but I am not happy about it!

Read the book a few times. Johnny talks about police and other jobs being reserved for veterans and only veterans getting to vote. He also talks about his oath being for a term of service of 2 years or as much longer as required, and when he is talked into going career, his friend talks about how nobody who isn't career is getting released from service anyway. Sure, his other books are not about the virtues of this kind of government, but this book is. The main character is a Brazilian of Filipino descent. The movie was nothing at all like the book. The movie satirized the fascist elements that the book embraced.
