pro vac pass are we? you don't think it might be too much power we are giving the tech billionaires that will run this tyrannical system for the gov?
anyone who thinks a digital app type vaccine pass is gonna free them is a fucking lunatic. it means your every step, your every transaction, your every outing will be tracked and monitored. your human rights will depend on a hackable, app with back doors and incompetent blood sucking, bureaucrats running it. what happens when they attach payments to it? anyone thinking this thing is in any way good is bat shit crazy and much worse they are betraying every tinny bit of freedom that was won for us by our ancestors with blood and tears. and here you fucks are throwing it all away at the drop of a hat just so the government will give you back some rights as they see fit conditionally. conditional rights are no fucking rights at all! wake the fuck up people, you are throwing away our freedoms for ever, do not let them do this to us. the pandemic will end, that fucking app never will, once they get it.
Seems much like a "clean up' they are using to tighten up what they did not get squared away
as much as they would have liked with previous efforts such as the Patriot Act.
A hundred years ago armory's were a common sight in many communities.
I believe many were converted to things like music venues.
Come and take them....
Also I’d think the founding of a professional standing army with the largest budget in the world engaged in multiple wars (and even more “police” actions”... would be enough to convince anyone who knew of the warnings of the founding fathers that a standing army is not nor has it ever been a well regulated militia.
you need to break out a dictionary fish
yeah ok, we had armoires too, we still have them for the militia army we have. but thats for the big guns and the modern day wimps who are afraid to keep their military weapon at home, the rest of us has their own personal weapon at home, with 2 sealed packs of amo in case of war.
i mean what happens if the Germans decide to invade us, or the French? lmao....
strawman much? i'm just pointing out naomi wolf is a nutter.
she might be a nutter, but she's right about the covid vax app.
right winger word salad to make you sound smart

Why? Can't trick your bike?
parking a standard F-150 is a pain in the ass. no way in hell it fits into a single parking space. parallel parking? LOL! cannot imagine the curbs you run over and the double yellow lines you cross . i know where there are single lane bridges that one of those would not fit through. no thanks

I know it’s a scary word for Keynesian like urself ..let the money printer brrr... there are no consequences to printing trillions of dollars in currency. It’s all good
I don't think you understand keynesian economics and are getting it confused with quantitative easing. Keynesian economics merely requires the poorest to be supported financially so they have money to spend. This means shopkeepers have customers, and the supply chain has demand, so the big guys can grow their wealth through economic activity, rather than passive investments.
an active and healthy economy allows the banks more confidence in lending to businesses rather than just house purchases. This slows the pricing out of individual home owners in favour of buy to let investors. It also increases investment into commercial activity, which creates jobs, which raises living standard. This allows for more borrowing from banks which creates more wealth, which creates inflation, reducing the value of outstanding debt. Everyone wins.
