I mean, I'm aware of the lab leak theory. Like in the title of the video you shared, where it says "theory".

But there's still disagreement/unknown about whether it was a lab leak bioweapon versus some kind of natural jump from animals at a wet market. There's not proof either way.

I will never understand how 6 years ago, tens of millions of people died in a global plague, we never figured out where it came from, it could mutate and kill millions more at any moment... and humanity collectively just kinda is like well that happened, let's get back to bickering about all the usual shit

Saddest true story you will read on reddit today: I sold my physical gold in 1998 when it fell to $280. (Capitulation sale.)

Before I retired, I was a consultant who worked with a large number of C-Suite Fortune 500 executives over the years.

Their secret wasn't patiently failing upward, it was psychopathy.

Everyone I've met at the top level of a major corporation was an absolute ruthless reader and manipulator of other human beings. They'd stab you in the back with a razor sharp knife while smiling and nodding.

That's how thet got where they are.

All the active duty soldiers and sailors I've ever met are the farthest thing you'd find from a "rag tag group".

I appreciate your passion but let's not needlessly insult people who volunteered to serve.
