I think I saw a Crowder video where he exposed the actual payments to the hospitals. Something about inflated claims of COVID deaths and how hospitals were rewarded for reclassifying cause of death. From and with COVID.

I think you don't understand what a block grant is. It's a set amount of money given per person. Think of Yang's UBI.

a free market incentive
It's not a free market initiative if it's a charity controlled by one man's ego. Actual free market "charity" would be block payments to all people on the planet.

The increased testing was a godsend to hospitals needing a justification on paper to fill the beds and collect the subsidies. I think it's somewhere near 12,000 dollars per COVID bed? Plus insurance fees. There's also a subsidy per registered COVID death. I'm not sure exactly how much that one is either.

Let's just ignore all the African kids he killed with his vaccine experiments.
But who cares right? Cause the WHO is above scrutiny apparently.
Charity is simply manifested ego. Gates decides how that money is spent, not the world.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
it's no secret hospitals have been losing a lot of money during the scamdemic. Right now the major source of income is filling the COVID beds. They get a substantial subsidy from the government for doing so.

No, it is pretty much settled science.
You should never trust a source that states this. Especially with a novel virus with few data points.

Posted in:
it does though. the virus can have serious health affects on virtually anyone.
Not EVERYONE is going to be at any measurable risk.
There are objectively people with health conditions as well as old age that put them at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher risk than everyone else.
The health risks to children under 10 are absolutely negligible. Where are you getting this information?
You can easily protect at-risk people by quarantining those few at-risk people.

where did you hear that?
Not only are the infection rates to children under 10 negligible, but the transmission rates from young children to others are cosmically infinitesimally small.

Alot of people do.
Then don't make the claim that walking around maskless puts everyone at risk. It doesn't put EVERYONE at any meaningful level of risk.

you coming near anyone while not wearing a mask is endangering their life.
Objectively false. Young children can't get the COVID. 20-40 year olds with no co-morbidities have a greater chance of dying from lightning than COVID alone.

Young healthy people shouldn't be quarantined. Old people should.

No one can tell if you are sick or not.
We have tests for COVID in the blood JUST like we have tests for alcohol in the blood. That statement is false.

in this example, you not wearing the mask is the equivalent of driving drunk.
If you don't have COVID in your blood, you are no more a danger to society than if you have no alcohol in your blood.

What part of driving isn't a constitutional right don't you understand? When you get a drivers license you consent to be pulled over and checked for sobriety. It's like a damn broken record. It has no relevance. You agreed to all the terms and conditions by getting the license. What part of that don't you understand?
The part where you get thrown in jail without being checked for sobriety, just like being thrown in jail or fined without being checked for COVID.

In fact, not only do young children not die from Covid, they can't even transmit it, yet schools are closed....

You all seem to have no understanding of what due process of law is. Yes I would be negligent in spreading the virus if it is proved that I have it. You all seem to think no one or the law has to prove anything anymore. Just make some accusation or that you might do something and your guilty as charged.
Exactly, you don't put someone driving in jail because you THINK they might be infested with Alcohol. You have to prove they were drunk with EVIDENCE in a court.

Those people are not consenting to take that risk.
How do you know that with 100% accuracy? Especially when 2 maskless people cross by on a public street.
Do the constitutional liberties of 99% of the population end where the fears of the 1% begin?

If I am to be accused of spreading a virus by not wearing a mask, I want all the rights provided to me under the constitution that say the law must show probable cause and bears 100% of the burden of proof.
Good luck with that..the science changes month to month on it.

TBH that wiki article discussed "cures" for unconscious bias that are shockingly unethical.
In your wiki article, people are asked to imagine alternate realities for the purpose of retraining their perceptions. That's straight out of Orwell's 1984 book where people were reconditioned to perceive the world in a way authority said they must, or they would suffer penalties for unconscious "thought crimes"
Absolutely chilling.
This takes today's cancel culture policies and authority approved criticisms of things to a whole nother level.
State-approved bias? Dear god.

Ah yes, I remember when the academics said "we made unconscious bias to blame whites for things"
Do expound please. I'm all ears.

@Username
Idk about "birth conditions". Seems like unconscious bias is fostered by the internalization of certain stereotypes you experience by living in a society.
Then maybe you should do a little more research on unconscious bias and less scoring of pointless "pivot points."
I'm more motivated with the accumulation of knowledge and less with satisfying my primal urges to quell dissonance by scoring "talking points"

No one's talking about judging people. People are actually talking about understanding racial disparities in sentencing, arrests, race relations in general, but ofc you keep ignoring this.
I'm not ignoring this at all. I am addressing your claim that birth conditions such as unconscious bias cause racism. It's pernicious when the Nazis did it and it's just as bad when the 2020 woke academic Marxists do it.

At the end of the day, you don't get to remove them because people that could replace them get 1 percent in the primary, or get bought off like Bernie did as he supported the status quo. Does Pelosi look scared? Have you seen her showcase her icecream lately?so your argument is that it is hard to hold politicians accountable, so the solution is to hand power that we have no power over at all? That will solve our problems? That is dumb.
Feel free to think outside of the box to discover what smug Pelosi is actually afraid of.

@bmdrocks21
I read an article about why corporate America and many establishment leaders from both parties want to defund the police. The article first showed how Educational administrative leaders were replaced with Marxists, then Generals in the Pentagon were replaced with Marxist sympathizers, then Intelligence agencies were replaced with people who could be controlled by the Marxist leadership. The powerful rich have everything to gain by fundamentally transforming the USA into a Marxist nation.
So the real reason the powerful rich actively want to defund to the police is so that they can replace the current police leadership with controllable police leaders.

I could go into the details but you're surely smart enough to know you're lying when suggesting that certain ethnicities and genders weren't favoured severely in many cultures throughout history (not always the same ethnicities but usually always males).
One only has to look at the 300 million aborted Chinese women under China's one-child policy.

Are you equating the knowledge that people can be biased without knowing it, something that would be massively impactful in understanding racial disparities in things like sentencing and race relations with something like everyone has fingernails?
Absofuckinglutely. If you wanna go down the rabbithole for judging people for things they can't control, why stop at fingernails?
Created:

@Username
Then what's the point of teaching it over, say, everyone has fingernails?
It couldn't possibly be taught for the same reason testosterone toxicity is taught, right? A justification for otherness and social shaming over things you got stuck with at birth due to a bad roll of the DNA dice? Nawww.
