It's more likely because many gay men are promiscuous and have unprotected anal sex with many people. Parasites are in fecal matter. Just another STI to add to their list.
Yeah it’s a pretty septic lifestyle. Not surprised at all that dudes sexually attracted to the lower GI tract have a higher incidence of parasitic infections.

Probably because of their sexual activity.

Sure, I can entertain that hypothesis but let me tell you the real rason ivermectin is a bad word.
The COVID vaccine is or was under emergency use authorization and that provides a liability shield for the pharmaceutical companies against vaccine injury.
In order to maintain EUA status a medication has to meet the following criteria:
1. There is no alternative medication that is distributable to the masses.
2. It has to work.
Number two is debatable.
Ivermectin (and other anti-viral) threaten number one.
EUA status is very important to pharmaceutical companies.

I’m not a big fan of all the death too. But the Arabs are dumb and crazy. They should be smart like our founders against the British and play the long game but they can’t help themselves. I mean how do you deal with a group of people who have no value for their own lives? It’s so f’d up.
re: -0.3% 1st Quarter GDP

stagflation incoming
It’s really not.
Trump is attacking inelastic goods to lower their prices by increasing supply though deregulation and foreign policy. Think energy prices; gasoline, diesel, NG, agriculture products, etc.
He is tariffing China because most of their crap is elastic. Either we don’t need it or we can find an easy substitute.

During the first quarter most of your Chinese importers freaked out because of MUH tariffs and front loaded their inventories here in the U.S. The record number of imports contributed to the negative GDP number. Government spending was also down slightly but that’s a negative number we want to see.
Expect imports to be WAY down next quarter.

If you look inside the GDP calculation you see this is a good number because government spending is down and there ware MASSIVE imports in the first quarter. Record imports. Imports subtract from the GDP number.

The number will be adjusted higher in the coming weeks. Trump always gets the initial bad numbers to make headlines and then the agencies adjust higher. They did the opposite for Biden.

You are probably right. Every time a new economic report is published they adjust the number. It’s a moving target.

The DoD wants to bomb Iran really really badly to do Bibi’s bidding but Pete keeps advising Trump not to. The DoD is so pissed off at Pete right now.

Atlanta Fed GDPNow was predicting a negative 2,3.
The New York Fed Nowcast was predicting a positive 2.
Both missed badly.

TBH, this issue is blown way out of proportion IMO. Candace, Jordan and Ben agree on 90% of the issues. However the biggest issue that is dear to Ben’s heart is Bibi’s foreign policy. Candace is not aligned with Jordan, Ben or any of the DW characters (Michael and Matt are quiet about it) with their support of Bibi and the American tax payer dollar going to Bibi’s cause so they want to shut her up. Why? Because if Candace persuades enough people that sending American tax payer dollars to Bibi ain’t cool those people might start complaining to their representatives to cut Bibi’s project funding. They don’t want that. American tax payer dollars are vital to Bibi’s big projects.

You are comparing it to the dollar.
If you sell a car for 0.5 BTC you can probably buy the car back next year for 0.4 BTC.

"They" (crypo proponents) say that XRP is the solution. Apparently its easier to mine (if that's the correct term) and the gas fees are very cheap.
But the problem with XRP is that Ripple continues to "print" more so it has the same inflationary problem as the U.S. dollar.

Not sure what's going on now, but Biden admin didn't like it and were trying to make things difficult for Bitcoin.
IDK what is going on either but I do know the gas fees for BTC transitions make it cost prohibitive for small purchases. I love the idea of BTC but it seems like it still remains impractical for everyday transactions.
