Google Books Ripoff
These days I use Google Books to purchase and read most of my books. It has a Wish List feature that is pretty handy. Occasionally a book on my list get discounted and I get a notification. Today there were 3 discounted down to $1.99. James Lee Burkes Wayfaring Stranger, Black Spartacus about the Haitian slave revolution and In Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. Except only the Burke charged as $1.99. The other two were roughly $10 and $14. I would not have noticed had I not checked the (email) receipt. Got immediate refunds on both. What is the deal here, Google?
The Government is Trying to Kill Me
I joked when I left Texas that the Governor was trying to kill me. It was a bit of a joke, sounding like a conspiracy theory, but I wasn’t joking. It became clear that Gov Abbott’s policies leaned so far against public health and safety that it was literally, IMO, becoming dangerous to live in Texas. Even more so if you were, for instance, a pregnant woman.
Now this attempt to kill off Americans is going nationwide. I expect there won’t be a flu shot this year. Why? Hard to say for sure (except that they want to kill people) but it seem to be based on a discredited theory that these vaccines, or something in them leads to autism. Discredited is probably too nice a term. Completely unfounded, bonkers theory is more like it.
During COVID it was just a propaganda campaign that lead to people avoiding the vaccine, and often dying. I’ve seen the numbers and have several family friends who didn’t get the COVID vaccine and succumbed. On the flip side I don’t know anyone who got the vaccine and died, or even got hospitalized.
But back to the flu shot. So the claim is the flu vaccine (or now, supposedly something in it) leads to autism in very young children. How about this RFK jr: why not just ban the vaccine for young children? I don’t see why keeping it from my 90 year old mother is a good idea. I don’t see her developing autism. And nobody is even claiming that.
So why? As I said the government is trying to kill me. They are trying to kill us all. Why? Well as best I can tell it’s a cult thing. The ultimate sacrifice to Dear Leader is to give your life. We all live in Jonestown now.
