“About 15 years ago, I bought into the climate change narrative. Used to have discussion after discussion with my now departed father, who used to always laugh at my indoctrinated beliefs about the veracity of ever-changing models, only with a comforting, yet authoritative voice to ultimately state that this is about progressively milking people dry. I tried to ‘educate’ him by sending him books on the topic, of which one was on peak oil – which I similarly used to buy into – to which he sarcastically quipped ‘will there be a test on the subject at the end?’
And up until recently, questioning the topic did make me rest somewhat uneasily. Because all those people can’t be wrong, right? And although the message frequently does appear to be delivered somewhat speculatively ahead of empirical observation, one does fundamentally still prefer to ‘trust science’ – especially if one has a ‘hard science’ background as I do.”
…
“You cannot ‘trust’ ‘science’ established on a fundament of pure horse manure. And those who disagree – please explain to me the validity of the ‘science’ relating to the alleged pandemic, as delivered in March, 2020. Because not only were we not allowed to question said ‘science’ either, but that was certainly complete and utter BS just as well, and further – along with the ‘carbon consensus’ established in 1979 – ultimately expressly delivered for sake of political expedience.”

“A friend of mine developed polymyalgia rheumatica from the injections commonly known as covid vaccines – (all inflammatory complaints are very common side effects of these products as they are pro-inflammatory by design).
So he is put onto a steroid.
Gets some stomach irritation (as is common) from those
So he is put on omeprazole to prevent ulceration by blocking stomach acid
But omeprazole causes calcium absorption, problems so he gets osteoporosis
So he is put on alendronic acid to counter than
This is part of the pharma-induced cascade. Now he is on a cocktail of drugs, the interactions between which are virtually impossible to predict.”

Yes.
A pharmacist once told me that two drugs on my list were not compatible, and to inform my doctor because there were other drugs that could be used to avoid this problem.
The doctor didn’t appear pleased with this information. I can’t remember if he changed it.

This is one of those fascinating charts-like the Debt clock. This one measures productivity
The means to becoming wealthier is to be more productive. Instead of that we have relied on “cheap” labour through mass migration which in the end is nothing of the sort. As regards productivity the US gdp per head is some 30% better than in the UK. Most of the developed European economies are in the same boat and the gap widens each year.

If Our GDP per head was equivalent to the US our economy would be some £700 billion a year greater, annually. That buys an awful lot of things we might want. It would also help pay down our debt which is around the third largest of our financial commitments and is a real drag on or economy.
Australia does better than Britain on productivity and debt but is substantially worse than the US on productivity. Oz does badly on innovation which doesn’t bode well for the future. However the US debt is worrying and seems to be increasing rapidly.
