What bank do you have that charges $35 for a transfer?
I transfer between b of a and chase bank, both known for having decently high fees, without any of those fees.
The $35 amount I’ve only seen with overdrafting. Do you overdraft every single transfer?
Same with us. I don’t know what these other folks are talking about. I transfer seemlessly between my accounts at different banks.
You just said the CDC doesn’t make policies based on actual science.
I’m not changing the subject, my argument has always been against CDC and FDA corruption/misinformation
CDC reacted to a bunch of know-nothings
So is the CDC trustworthy?
Local hypersensitivity reactions happen with all vaccines.
You’re not making a great case to mandate over 30 vaccines for kids without proper testing.
It has nothing to do with thimerosol. The reason you accept that is that we take immunological advice from immunologists, not from partisan nincompoops who read something that sounds bad on the internet and go, “SeE!? WhY mAkE ShOt? iT hUrT bAbY1!!”
Nobody is arguing that. But rigorous testing in line with most western nations, seems fair.
I’m reiterating why your “why not play it safe”
Yeah, I don’t like when the government forces every child to get a shot from a big pharma organization that pays the FDA to get through the testing with shitty made up science. I think there should be rigorous testing, which there are good trials, but just to be more in line with most of western europe, as opposed to safeguarding big pharma companies.
I know they aren’t the same thing.
I’m simply stating that due to thiomersal, there was questions of mercury poisoning. Most vaccines don’t have thiomersal anymore (since 1999), which most agree is a good thing.
What are you even arguing?
Thiomersal is in almost no vaccines at this point
Thanks to those who fought it!
and you get more mercury from a can of tuna than you would from a vaccine with thiomersal in it.
And they recommend limited how much tuna one eats…because of…that’s right! Mercury!
**except for **
So it can cause issues to some…why force it on 2 month olds?
"The notion that thiomersal causes autism has led some parents to have their children treated with costly and potentially dangerous therapies such as chelation therapy, which is typically used to treat heavy metal poisoning, due to parental fears that autism is a form of “mercury poisoning”.[16] As many as 2 to 8% of autistic children in the U.S., numbering as many as several thousand children per year, receive mercury-chelating agents.
I don’t get why you think this argues against me? I never said it caused autism, I don’t believe it does.
He’s against mercury in the vaccines.
A lot have been removed since his initial push against it, because the vaccines we were pumping into everyone had them.
I thank him for his work to get poisonous amounts of mercury out of the vaccines
I’m pro-vaccine. So is RFK Jr. He has concerns with some of the testing and chemicals in some of the mandatory vaccines.
I’d rather have overly cautious studies when it comes to big pharma, their limited liability, their rich history in bribing US officials (including FDA members), pumping the country full of poison (see opioids) while lying to people about what is in their drugs.
He wants vaccine testing similar to almost all of western europes. That’s not a conspiracy theory.
sane person
So…not biden?
If they weren’t nervous, they wouldn’t be trying everything they could to discredit, trash and suppress his voice.
Although the media hit Trump really hard, the left-on-left violence seems pretty unprecedented.
It;s clear that the left knows that he’s not establishment, like Biden is, and that if he got a fair chance, he’d probably stomp Biden.
Wasn’t there a huge civil suit against J&J that they avoided paying?
Just another big pharma company that is getting charged fines, but that’s just their cost of doing business. These suits against J&J, Pfizer & more should put the company permanently out of business.
I don’t think it’s a trap.
I was only 9 when we invaded Iraq, I wasn’t in much of a position to protest.
But seeing for the majority of my life, how that played out, along with studying American history and our involvement in other countries the last ~70ish years has made me a borderline military pacifist. We spent some 10-20 trillion on an endless war that got us absolutely nothing, and killed millions of people across the world. What Americans life was positively impacted from that?
I’m almost always going to say to stay out of foreign conflicts going onward.
I absolutely agree, I’m conservative and am fine with cutting 80% of our foreign military activity.
Using that money to help folk here including veterans.
If your neighbour, having been born in an extremelly wealthy family, hired 100 hunters and hunted all deers in a 100 mile radius and offered to sell you venison, and you subsequently went hunting, got 0 and had to buy the venison from him, that would absolutelly be his fault.
His fault of what? Hunting more? I don’t own the deer, nor the land the deer are on. In fact, it’d probably work better for me, he doesn’t have use for all the deer, and I can buy it pretty cheap from him without getting my hands dirty. Isn’t that what you do? All your stuff, do you make it? Or buy it from someone who provides it?
As it so happens my version of the metaphor is very much how it works nowadays at that level of wealth compared to the normal individual.
Not really. You didn’t explain why it’s my neighbors responsibility to give me food.
It’s funny that in your mind they work just like you, even down to doing it hands on: that’s not even close to how it happens with the vast majority of them and even the ones who do “work” used their wealth as a force multiplier to make way more happen than you could ever possibly do and thus get way more benefits than you could possible get (normallly make way more money which they can use as an even bigger force muliplier in the next round).
Yeah. Once you have your needs met and have expendable income you can use that how you see fit. Some use it for luxuries, some use it to make more money.
I’m not gonna be mad at how someone uses their property. That doesn’t do anybody any good.
Nobody would have any problem with the rich if their taking wasn’t so vast that it stops everybody else from getting even a little bit.
Yes, you and many other young left wing folks would. It stems from jealousy, not necessity. The world is a much much much better place due to capitalism, which has brought insane amounts of people out of poverty, into positions they don’t have to worry about starving everyday.
You’re just mad because your wealth hasn’t increased as much as theirs. Your life is easier than 90% of people throughout world history, your on your little Mac or Iphone, in your air conditioned home because it’s a little too hot this july, drinking your starbucks coffee, stewing in hatred about how rich people are awful, but anybody in human history will look at your life of luxury and be appalled how someone with so much comfort and wealth is complaining.
I suppose until then you won’t understand why this is just embarrassing for Musk.
I think Musk is fine if some lemmy migrants from reddit think that he’s embarrassing for tweeting at big streamers about twitters video platform.
Competition is not always good.
So you think video streaming services should be in a monopoly?
You think that will be the best for the consumer and content creators?
I disagree.
haha new to lemmy, thanks!
The people running Twitter should act like professionals.
Once we have presidential candidates that can act professional, I’ll hold some twitter guy to that standard.
Which part? The fees?
