Hardly, the left platforms anti-white bigots all the time. It's clear that censoring anti-White bigots would make it safer to be White in America, but the left won't lift a finger because it wants more dead white people.

This is about the lockdowns making healthcare much worse.
The hpv vaccine rates in America are rising and don’t explain the sudden increase in late stage diagnoses.

What makes a vehicle masculine? I know plenty of women who own trucks who insist their truck isn’t.

the concern is that the evidence that lead to the approval of these “vaccines” was as bad as the evidence for humors and leeches.

Ego is why people buy trucks. Regulations disincentivize Chrysler from selling an economy cars.
Also, trucks have some of the highest inventory levels of any new vehicle type right now. If ego is the only way to explain this, why did folks buy so many more trucks last year? Did the American ego Change more than gas prices?

Then why don’t people buy class 8 semi trucks?

I don’t think Toyota lobbied to stop selling corollas. This likely was intentional from the Obama admin, my recollection is that the US government owned Chrysler and GM when they made so many rules that favored big trucks over efficient cars.

Strongly disagree, being able to accumulate enough money to cover the bumps of life can be the difference between stringing along a middle class existence and everything working out and going broke.

Yeah that’s my point, inflation rates don’t really influence unemployment rates except at the margin

That seems to be entirely explained by labor force participation. Note the skyrocketing amounts of people with more than one job

But our unemployment rates were so low in 2019, how could they have been lower with higher inflation?

My argument is that my prior experiences seem to work better for guiding my meal choice than all the formal knowledge presented to me.

Education matters for the consensus (for arbitrary reasons) but in my own life, my prior experiences with food inform my next meal. Education doesn’t come into play at all.
Let me pose this another way, why would you expect me to change the amount of bread i eat because of another year education? I already had 13 years of teachers telling me it should be the foundation of my diet and it didn’t stick. Why would the next year of education be any different?

Idk, anecdotally I don’t think I’m right about my heterodox nutrition views because I’m more educated, I just observe the consensus view of eating 12 servings of grain per day is wrong because I feel worse listening to their advice than eating what I naturally prefer.
I don’t think education comes into play at all?
