    The US director of covid response didn’t know a media source called “Russian Times” was actually Russian.

    • Well that's not really what "foreign agent" means in this context. He's saying he didn't know they were an arm of the Russian government's propaganda machine.nb
    • Still.... holy fuck who are these peoplenb
    • That's exactly what foreign agent means, they're legit registered and he had no clue, most don't. That's why countries have orgs register - b/c funded by Russiawhatthefunk
    • Yeah right, no I know. Sorry I thought you meant he didn't know they were from Russia.nb

    FC Barcelona facing bankruptcy due to Covid if players reject pay cut: https://en.as.com/en/2020/10/31/…

    Last time these multi-millionaires rejected a 30% cut of their salary. They’re so fucking arrogant and spoiled.

    A nurse probably earns $40K-70K per year and these rich assholes can’t do a pay cut (and still earn insane amounts) in this crisis.

    It’s not just Barcelona players, it’s the case with many other big clubs where these spoiled athletes don’t want to have a 20-30% pay cut.

    there was a world series. dodgers won.
    there was an nba championship. lakers won.
    california must be proud of their 17,500 covid deaths.
    they're probably sad they are second behind texas' 18,000.
    (everything's bigger in texas, am i right?)
    fun fact, the rays are from florida, where there are 16,500 deaths (third place!)

    go sports!

    I have a close friend who has been going deep down the rabbit hole lately. One of those who lost their job, so is not truffle-sniffing for any evidence that it's all fake and we should go back to normal.

    His main point is that the virus isn't bad at all, and testing is useless, but Big Pharma are using testing to inflate numbers and make billions off selling testing and vaccines. (don't get me started on how a vaccine that doesn't exist yet has apparently been proven to kill everyone it touches)

    Is there a video / website / document out there that I can show him that sums it all up, and preferable has proper references etc?
