    The temptation for a nation to declare that it will legally embrace freedom from vaccine mandates must be huge. A country like Madagascar would experience a huge influx of skilled workers - and their money. It would thrive.

    Hence any leader contemplating such is being made an example of.
    we have subcontracted the business of healing people to Companies who profit from sickness.

    I'm a sound engineer. Two/three months ago, after an eternity of applications and irregular projects and gigs, I finally managed to get a preety nice job as a venue technician in a jazz venue here in Barcelona. It wasn't greatly paid, but the place was nice, work was light enough, and gave me a small but regular salary to combine with other ocasional stuff. Overall a great way to earn little and grow.

    Today the boss sent me a friendly voice message because he was told I didn't have the jab, and I should "go for it", since a law is being passed on Tuesday next week.

    I don't even wanna get into a law discussion or if there are chances that It happens or not.

    I just wonder if Sunday's will be my last gig there, or at all, Jesus.

    Good luck B.

    With this industry and that or governments trying to coerce, threaten and intimidate I choose to run not towards fear but towards love and light. As mentioned in 'dying on hills' thread, like DeDukshyn I am seizing the opportunity for improvement.

    Now I'm taking advantage of good sunlight and just got done planting plenty of Spinach, tomatoes, chili, eggplant and some herbs. The fishing gear is getting new line and going out tomorrow for some new crab pots. If the tossers want to ban me from entering the supermarket and deny me their gmo monsanto riddled 'produce' well I'd just have to make do with my own home grown all natural food.

    Haha funny seeing this 2m tall giant next to young girl on stage.

    I'm in full support of our comedians pushing back to save their free speech and loved a lot of Isaac's material.   But imo he's pushed it a tad too far here by giving the "cancel police" fuel for their arguments.

    There's a fine line in comedy that needs to be mastered and I think Isaac might need to practice it a bit more.

    Anyone else think it's odd that there's no rioting and looting because of the Jussie Smollett trial? By today's standards he seems pretty racist and I thought we were against racism and we riot at the nearest hint of it.

    Strat/ spot on. its all hypocrisy racism in my opinion. All racism is ok against non black people because it's not seen as racism .

    It would be said, non whites have nothing to riot about regardless of racism noted. That may start to change.

    And see below a post off of Gab. We need to remember its the media that controls us like marionettes . Not all black people buy into this hate hysteria

    Venus as viewed through my 127mm Meade EQ & 32mm eyepiece with 2x Barlow lens. It is (after the moon) dominating the night sky at the moment even though so little of its surface is reflecting the light, it is close enough that just that crescent outshines everything.



    It's a real struggle using a cheap universal bracket to line up cheap phone camera lens to the eyepiece on a cheap telescope.. I expect my future to be constantly trying find ways to continue being cheap on dodgy equipment, complain & scoff at subpar results... spend marginally more for the tiniest incremental improvement and rinse and repeat.

    In 10 years I hope to share a semi decent picture with my fellow Avalonians. my brother while observing my persistent stubbornness told me a ancient Chinese proverb (not sure if it really is ancient or Chinese).. but goes like this.. Man who try save money pay 3 times.

    That is why the Chinese 'knock-off' is so terribly detrimental to a first world nation's bottom line. Not to mention the industries and equipment that are no longer making quality 'American-made' products at home.
