All three places are worth the trip IMO.

It's reassuring to see that you're engaging with this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you've embraced a more non-political stance lately.

Pfizer was pushing FDA to approve their updated Betacoronavirus pandemicum shot. Trump gave Pfizer the big fat middle finger.

I’m curious about the source of your information. Could you share where it comes from? I just hope it’s not solely based on a social media post, as I think we both value credible and well-researched references.

I remain observant, but choose to limit active participation given the environment that prevails currently in this forum, that is all.

As he should have. Pfizer was a BIG recipient of funds during covid. Team Biden couldn't shovel money out the door to them fast enough.

Eff Pfizer.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations allocated significant funds to Pfizer for its COVID-19 vaccine efforts. The Trump administration provided nearly $2 billion through Operation Warp Speed, focusing on the distribution of 100 million doses to expedite vaccine availability.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration invested $3.2 billion as part of a fall vaccination campaign, aimed at ensuring widespread access and preparing for emerging variants.

These investments were crucial in combating the pandemic, saving lives, and stabilizing public health systems. Given the unprecedented challenges posed by COVID-19, I believe these expenditures were not only justified but essential.

I completely understand and respect your decision to stay observant. Sometimes, stepping back and limiting active participation is the wisest choice. I hope things improve and that you feel more comfortable engaging in the future.

Cheers!

SARS COV 1 was defeated easily without a single shot. SARS COV 2 is different. It was trained to infect humans in the Wuhan lab for almost a year before it leaked out. It cannot be beaten, shot or no shot, lockdown or no lockdown, mask or no mask, social distance or no social distance.

If Trump balance the budget, those earning will be gone, even tax cut would be useless as 90% of Corporate Earning pay into dividend (That's why corporate don't pay federal tax as they usually use REIT loophole) Tax cut of 10% or less of corpo tax means nothing to the corporation these people hold.

There are not much of a marginal money for US corporate to invest in anywhere. If he wants to encourage his billionaire supporter to reinvest their money into their business, he needs stock and corporate reform, not a balance of budget. This is actually driving investment out of US.

What kind of stock and corporate reforms did you think would be necessary?

lol, sadly, there aren't actually anyone can do.

The old saying goes "The game is rigged" we tried after 1922 when the Fed f'ed up and we got the great depression, and then in 2008 when we SEC f'ed up and we have the subprime mortgage crisis, then in 2022 we have the post COVID crash. All because of one thing we fixed lead to another error.

As for what needed to be fixed? Well, you need to fix corporate reporting system, fix the entire taxation structure, and fix the corporate governing procedure, but none of those can be implemented because whoever propose those changes is going to commit political suicide, US Election are well mixed with Corporate America with all the lobbying, and all of those will eat into Corporate capital gain and that's a no-no in business world, unless we have a well-defined grassroot movement, these things aren't happening.

So we’re stuck in a death spiral, with politicians looking for ways to either help one side or another from the structural inefficiencies of our system, which no one is brave enough to take on.

Overturning this US Supreme Court ruling, or revolution...

The landmark Supreme Court case that established corporations as "persons" for the purpose of Fourteenth Amendment rights was Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co., 118 U.S. 394 (1886). While the case itself didn't explicitly state corporations were "persons," the Court's 1886 ruling in a footnote, in essence, recognized corporations as having the same rights as individuals under the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects the rights of "persons". This ruling solidified the legal concept of corporate personhood, granting corporations various legal and constitutional rights.
