And why should I, everyone I know nearly that takes them gets the flu anyway. I've had it, it's not that bad. The pharmaceutical industry milks you lot like cows :P It's why you have the highest HC costs on the planet. Millions queuing up for pills, injections and procedures they don't need.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')oor handwriting from American doctors contributes to thousands of preventable deaths annually, with estimates from a 2006 Institute of Medicine report citing up to 7,000 deaths per year and 1.5 million injuries due to medication errors from illegible writing.

Don't worry inke, doctors are safe and effective, off you go.

So your best answer is...monkey see, monkey don't do? Can't for a second think about the established science that says sure you might still get the flu after the shot, but the likelihood of it being less severe or not noticeable is greatly increased?

Boy...you've made it obvious you are generally ignorant, but not even understanding the basics of modern medicine is like....Medieval.

Are you proud of being uninformed and generally ignorant, or did it take lots of practice?

The U.S. just added $1.3 TRILLION in debt in 79 days.

On July 2, 2025, the national debt was $36.2T. Today, it’s $37.5T.

That’s the fastest debt spiral in history and it’s only accelerating.

Trump added 7.7T in his last term
Biden just added 9T

Trump will add 10-12T minimum.

The end game approaching.

Holy Crap!!

Wasn't TRUMP THE SAVIOR supposed to stop spending money like....the OTHER dementia addled geriatric? Ever since these two old defectives became President they've just been spending money like drunken sailors.

Well, good thing we've got some gold, right Armie? When the MZBs come for us after we've expended all our ammo we can throw gold at them until they leave us alone!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '
')That’s the fastest debt spiral in history and it’s only accelerating.

What? You thought the current dementia addled geriatric was going to be better than the last one? And Trump started this thing in 2016 with his spending habits, did you hope while he was claiming to save America from illegal immigrants he had changed his spending like a drunken sailor habits from his last administration?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '
')Got gold and silver? You better have


Gold sure. Particularly if you didn't buy high like some amateurs around here. Leave the silver for the folks dumb enough to buy expensive gold as well. But answer the prior question, once you run out of bullets to expend on the MZBs, is it your hope throwing gold at them with stop them from looting your place and carting your sugar momma off as chattel?

Trump isn’t a fiscal conservative, he loves debt. That’s why he’s begging for low rates so he can lower the debt payment with short term UST.

Trump is a moron, but hes still a million times better than the Dems.

But, TBH, it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump was a gatekeeper for the elite and part of the cabal.

He also loves bankruptcy. He has tanked his failed businesses how many times? Like 4-5-6? Think he's so stupid he figured he can do the same to the country?

Maybe. You know so little about markets and fiscal stuff that I'm not sure your opinion is of much value when it comes to prognosticating. Still thinking about the American draft in 2006? See what happens when history reveals the quality of an information source, or a person?

Trump is a moron, sure. But Joe is dementia addled, did you ever see him in his prime? He had brains beyond Trump and most other folks, before age and mental decay took it away.

They are called "oligarchs". Feel free to utilize a dictionary as to how they work. You know their names...you can just point them out easily every time they appear on TV telling everyone how their billions were "earned" and they deserve them.

Sounds dumb as those evolution denying Bible thumpers, doesn't he?

This is what has happened to the gold price in the past 20 years (since President bush was in big White House)

Image

It has grown from the little apple on the RIGHT to become the Big Apple on the LEFT. SO if you had bought some gold 20 years ago (when President bush was in big White House) it would be like having the big juicy apple now. With it, you would be able to eat a lot more food than you did back then. Or you could now afford to have your wife's breasts enlarged. Big, like the Big apple on the Left hand side.

Come up with a graph showing other investments, such as those in other PMs or markets and we can talk. Otherwise this is just the same argument Armie makes. Which is to say....

In the past year alone Gold in Australia has gone up nearly $2000 for one little one ounce coin. It has gone up more here because our currency (Paper Money) is valued differently. It is more expensive in a sense, but so are our burgers.

Let me Explain. In America a Big Mac can cost between $7, in Massachusetts, to $4 in North Carolina and Wyoming ( I have removed the decimal points and cents to make the Math easier ok). Now the difference in price is because wages in Massachusetts are high, Massachusetts has some of the highest average hourly earnings in the country and people can afford to pay more for a burger. In Australia though our wages are a lot higher again, and we pay $11 for a Big Mac. Eleven Dollars, one more dollar than a ten dollar bill ok.

With that out of the way let's look at Gold again.

Because the price has gone up $2000 an Ounce here (for one small coin) I can now buy 182 more Big Macs than I could a year ago. So I could sell the coin for cash, buy 182 Big Macs, and still have the money I started with a Year ago.

Image

I'll leave it as an exercise for you to work out how many Big Macs you could buy in Massachusetts with your Gold price of $3685 and a yearly profit of about $1200. Don't worry if you can't, that's pretty advance math for Americans hey :)

Just remember, with Gold you can buy a lot more Big Macs in the future, that's the key.

Buying Gold is like buying Burgers that you can keep at home.

Image

You buy the Gold today, and in a few years, you get free burgers, lots of free burgers. It's a little more complicated, but that's what it really all boils down to. Lots more burgers, Yum Yum.

What a typically stupid analogy from the village idiot.

Burgers are useful, provide nourishment, have a short shelf life and are just...food.

Gold just....sits there. After awhile someone says its worth more than you paid for it. <yawn> Same thing as my market investments do.

I see reasonably well. It isn't my fault that a parrot can't make a point beyond fast food analogies. Just because you beleive something, doesn't make it true.

Based on your educational level, the gene pool you come from, and your demonstrable and DETERMINED ignorance on a wide range of topics, it is shocking you manage to get online and even write what you are parroting.

It is ignorant enough that at LEAST I don't think you are some kind of AI, as they wouldn't react to stimuli the same way a cretin does. THAT behavior you match to a T.
