Yeah. The only way he experiences nature is by playing golf and having fun trying to kill the Caddyshack gopher. ---

A former coworker posted a QAnon tweet about how testing ABSOLUTELY causes covid. The evidence is some rando who said he one in these nursing homes was even suck until someone came to test, and then all of a sudden, death. ---

Gosh, and I didn’t get tested for COVID until I was already sick for a week and landed in the ER! It came back positive and I STILL HAD COVID!!! Obviously time travel and Democrats were involved. 🤯 ---

It is kind of curious what exactly “cunt” means as an epithet in British. From what I can tell, its origins were probably misogynistical, but it has moved away from that to where it merely means something similar to “fucker” (a term that has largely lost its sexual meaning in American). Even “pussy” is losing its gender-based association when used as an epithet. In the sense that “cunt” seems to derive from a Latin word that means “wedge”, it is an appropriate word to use when speaking about people whose goal it is to split the nation into wreckage. I mean, as long as the forum allows it. ---

Even on the new board, we go off on tangents. 🧐 I guess this is one of the reasons the original thread got to 44,000+ posts. No prob. A little distraction is good for the soul. Eventually the Dumpster Fire himself will do something to get the thread back on track. That’s guaranteed. Carry on. ---

Sam, this community is making an effort to refrain from using the “N word” when describing Blacks and the “C word” when describing women. Pit or no pit, that seems like a reasonable thing to do. I agree with your politics and your view of the woman in question. But I encourage you to find a word less offensive to everyone else and that would just offend what’s her name. Advice of an ally, not a jr. mod. ---

Working on a longer post, but part of my research led me to discover that, according to the Federal Reserve’s Z1 report… adjusted for inflation (2020 dollars)… the United States was $4.6 trillion poorer on March 31st, 2020 compared to 1-1-2017. ---

No problem. It’s the Federal Reserve’s Z1 report, Section B1, line 1 [Derivation of US Net Wealth](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/20200611/html/b1.htm) [![Google Photos](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/0jsDsojuLxKgCLEbpQ1QOwwrNjN95mT0LVqAqh2CvqDrJuLrgAtEmhCoAai2JxnH1ti0QjjXQx7ADsk6K43jnqHzC60QYgd2Z9qK5PXElr2md13pEp9tNruLqW5AMdIc6mYPKK-i1g=w600-h315-p-k "New item by John Thornton") ](https://photos.app.goo.gl/oTzHdWJSvTaWHdkX7) The above chart is not adjusted for inflation, but you can see in nominal dollars the country is poorer now than it was at the end of Obama’s reign of terror. $10 trillion of wealth evaporated between the end of 2019 Q4 and 2020 Q1. That may be a record. ---
