The first case of covid19 reported on March 1st 2020 and first vaxx administered on Dec 14th 2020 im NYC.
Nurses, doctors and health care workers have worked throughout the pandemic saving lives at their own risk. Many caught the coof and many died.
Now that there's vax , the governors and mayors NYC issue orders mandating vaccinations for all health care workers. Many have been fired for not being vaccinated.
Do these leftists never get sick where they need treatment? At that time will they care whether those saving their lives are vaccinated?

Another case. Police and armed forces have also been mandated. Many have lost jobs, Remember some of them were their security details.

A lot of disgruntled enemies that these idiots are making in their quest to micromanage

39k Euro job as a vaccination inspector.
Because omicron Austria.

Austria Jobs vax inspector

Linz now wants to hire people to control vaccine refusers, as reported by “heute”. They should check whether those who do not get vaccinated really pay for it. Because if you do not get vaccinated, you will be asked to pay. Up to 3600 euros, the equivalent of a good 3740 francs.

The vaccination inspectors receive a salary of at least 2774 euros, the equivalent of around 2880 francs. The salary is paid out 14 times a year.


The job includes, among other things, the preparation of penalty orders as well as the processing of objections. In the job profile, a completed Matura is required. In addition, the hunters should be resilient and willing to work. Specifically: ready to work more overtime!

Only Austrian citizens are employed for the Arbreit. And, of course, applicants must either be vaccinated or recovered. (read

Covid is dying but the west won't let it die. They love to make noise about nothing burger
They are using it to drive vaccine sales. Oh Pfizer, oral pill approved by FDA.
Works same as Ivermectin + Zinc Stopping viris replication.Omicron is now dominant everywhere.And they are not reporting mass deaths, only appealing for mass jabs + second boosters.


The best part about Omicron is that it spreads so fast, in three weeks the pandemic will be over, because everyone will have gotten it and recovered.

Elon is a tricky fella who is strategic in everything he does, and knows how to control the narrative to achieve his real goals. Anyone who thinks he sold shares just to pay tax to prove Bernie Sanders
and Elizabeth Warren wrong doesn't know his antecedents.

Elon that said a year ago he is selling all his properties in California because he wants to live a non-materialistic lifestyle and own no physical possessions, had all the hippies hailing him for his Confucius philosophical outlook to life, not knowing the real reason is he's lined up a move to Texas, and wants to move from California without hurting anyone's feelings.

You must be naive to think he is selling Tesla Shares just so he can pay tax and prove Elizabeth Warren wrong.
He is cashing out while the climate change sermon goes on.

SpaceX is far ahead of Bezos and Branson outfits though and it has a very bright future.

Good play by him. He's a smart man. This is my take.

Do you know any CEO that can dump $30bln in shares without causing a run on their company share price?

Elon used sense to cash out his shares at an all-time high disguising it under a taxation argument with Bernie so as not to harm share value.

Tesla Share price has done an unsustainable 12x since March 2020 with no discernable increase in sales volume.

Tesla which sells 500,000 cars per year is worth more than Toyota, Nissan, GM, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes combined which sell tens of millions of cars per year.

Clearly Elon has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cash out after an unsustainable bubble run which must pop - easy, find an angle to do so under cover of tax argument. Elon was not even worth $30bln at the start of 2020.

So here's the Maths - the number of shares he sold were worth $2.5bln at start of 2020 are now worth $30bln. Clear out $30bln, pay $11bln tax and he has $19bln cash from something that was worth $2.5bln pre-tax and will eventually come down toward reality.

There is no CEO that can dump $30bln of shares in a company he directs in one go without Shareholders losing faith that he believes the company is way overvalued (and by turn, their holdings are way overvalued). That will cause a run on the company, and with the leveraged positions on that company, the share price would collapse like a pack of cards.

Elon found a way to do so under disguise of tax argument. That's what the sharp guys should be looking at, not focussing on the tax argument which is a distraction he created in order to do so. The point he was trying to make is he can't pay tax until he sells shares, which he did.

Warren and Bernie's point is still a point worth debating ie how Govt can reflect Capital Gains without disposal of Shares. Capital Gains that won't be achieved without Fed pumping money into propping up Share-prices (Ben Bernanke recapitalising banks to allow them money to buy other companies, thus increasing their value, Obama trillion dollar bailout, Trump $2.2 trln rescue package, lending money to them at zero interest rates etc). Tesla is the poster boy for increases in valuation caused solely by increase in money supply brought about by these Govt interventions, not because of their performance in selling cars.

You sef judge if Elon is not taking his money and running based on the valuation of the companies below. Tax argument na smokescreen. Tesla is in the mother of all bubbles and bro is simply cashing out while he can. Tesla suppose to be where GM is at best with $78bln valuation, not the $1trillion it is sitting on. GM car sales and profits dwarf Tesla's but you can dash Tesla the same valuation as GM based on future prospects. You sef no go cash out? What is 30-35% tax when you know your company is overvalued more than 12 times what it's supposed to be.
I agree with you. Tesla future rides on the religion of climate change. Biden ,WEF and COP26 have set target on fossil fuels, giving EV manufacturer Tesla a huge market bump despite few vehicle sales.
The downside. Some Activists are protesting a licence to open massive cobalt extraction in Nevada because environment. Others want the cobalt because batteries.

Propublica had published an article of how top 25 billionaires managed to pay zero tax.

Nigerias call to make, however based on underreported data - the 800 figure.

Covid is a rich man's disease in Nigeria, for those that can test at the snap of a finger.
Deaths are very low in Nigeria . Less than UK deaths in one very bad day.
It cant be underreporting. Ive checked African countries. Very low death rates. All African countries.

Tha New York case about Trump. He being investigated for defrauding his lenders by overvaluing his properties.
Stupid because noone gives you a loan on how much you value the security. Banks do their own valuation.
Stupid because he has not defaulted on paying back the loans.
Stupid because property value depends on getting the buyer who wants to pay for it.

I dont think anyone complained, who would complain if you are paying back!

Joe Biden will lose the next presidential election.

The guy has lost touch with the more liberal base and Trump Conservatives are lambasting him with every slow Joe moment he has.

We need a ruthless democrat president who will deal with sickos like Manchin, Boebert, Gaetz, Greene etc.

A real ruthless president would pack the supreme Court, squeeze the opposition and deliver on promises
In other words, a dictator is needed.
China has lifted 600m people out of utter poverty, a benevolent dictator can do wonders especially if he is ñot after protecting his henchmen from serious crimes
