  • Regardless of other (real or imagined) considerations, the current level of testing of long term safety of vaccines, any vaccine, is insufficient simply because enough time hasn’t passed.

    Recall that it once took 27 years for the “authorities” to rule out that a vaccine was causing another deadly disease as side effect. Why are people feeling so safe about these inadequately tested vaccines is not something I understand, but let them choose.

    Mandates, whatever their excuse, are pure tyranny. Individuals must be free to make their own choice about what goes inside their bodies.

    Mao once gave a speech in Russia promising that China is prepared to “sacrifice” half its population to keep the revolution going. While I am certain they have become more refined today, but the notion that Chinese government is above using violence to keep its internal affairs in order has never entered my mind.





  • Money “hoarded” in banks obviously means more money is available for borrowing for things like home loans and other capital investments. This should reflect in inflation if real estate and stocks are included in basket of goods used to gauge inflation.

    Confusion is created, per my limited understanding, by omitting variations in prices of things like education and real estate from standard calculations of inflation. Many governments are still issuing separate data for real estate, but layman doesn’t care for that.

    The expert on Taliban here may or may not be right about other things, but he is dangerously wrong here:

    Imagine that India’s Modi is asked to give full citizenship rights to Muslims, Sikhs and other minorities to keep RSS-India all inclusive.

    As an Indian, I can tell that:

    • the citizenship of minorities in India is not different from that of alleged majorities.
    • Modi, a mere politician, doesn’t have the right to give or to take away anyone’s citizenship.

    Also, Indian minorities not only have full citizenship rights, they actually enjoy more rights than the majority as their religious institutions are sheltered from government in many ways that Hindu temples are not.
