For profit by those who it benefited, namely medical companies who made the so called vaccine.

Only by changing and relaxing the long standing criteria for what constitutes a vaccine.

Sweden had no lockdown and fared comparatively well.

I've heard the opposite. That is was designed and based on military organisation and for individuals to conform to the contemporary world view.

I find this comment, on it's face, very hard to understand. An apparent abundance of qualifiers without definition. Is this an example of circular reasoning?

It seems to me that the text is saying that generalised labour produces value, but then only specific labour produces actual value. What is the difference between actual value and value in general? Is some value somehow more valuable that other? Are we even speaking the same language? Is this just making shit up as you go along and hope nobody notices because the general idea is appealing?

UBI drives inflation. All other effects follow from that.

It’s pretext for identifying and tracking everyone. A inevitable ”byproduct” from getting your age by digital ID.

No, the poor stayed poor or even worse, starved to death. USSR self imploded.

I'm puzzled to what point is tried to be made.

Is the parent statement supposed to be an argument that women are not capable, or even less likely, of providing means for, or inflicting massive destruction?

How would that follow from what is said here or in the article?

Certainly women can be destructive too. What would make it a sex issue?

That depends on what "education" entails. If it's one source only chances of it being propaganda is high.

As opposed to slaves in non-western nations? May I remind that slavery was not exclusively a western thing, and that there are more slaves today than there ever was, in absolute terms, almost none in western nations.

Only if you see it as that. More charitable is to see it as an example and clear case to illustrate of what might be beyond coverage of the amendment.

Not everyone needs breakfast and still eat healthily. A longer fasting period is even an argument against it. But to each their own.

Even better in my opinion and experience, exercise during lunch break, if possible. Being drained after work can feel like too high barrier to get started exercising.

If you don't run your life others will do it for you.

Nothing in this life is a must.

For an international audience it's ambiguous. 5 k of what could one reasonably wonder.

Nothing has no risk.

A not insignificant number of people suffered from severe health issues from the covid vaccine alone.

The definition of what a vaccine is and the requirement for testing were relaxed to allow for what would otherwise have been regarded as immature to be included in the vaccine category, and has remained so since. It is therefore reasonable that the trust in vaccines had been impacted to some extent.

The video does not counter the parents argument about measuring fit.

What the masons in the video do is certainly impressive. Cutting organic shapes that fit perfectly together, as if they once were elastic, is another level.

Perhaps the did something similar to what dentists do when building on teeth so that the added material is not the only contract point when jaws are closed. That is, a contact sheet that leaves contact marks.
