My point is I'm fine with using IQ correlation as the main determinent and ignoring all other variables as long as you are willing to accept all its implications. In this case, blacks are by far the dumbest race in the world. You ok with that?
I don't disagree with that. It is what it is.

But @Post Ironic makes a pretty good point as to why that may be the case.

I don't know hows in your country guys but corona is showing the effect here and I don't mean with health but prices. It's actually insane how prices of literally everything are jumping. And of course it's not true when they say what's the inflation rate they report because it's being manipulated. The prices of food are crazy and they keep increasing. I also hear prices of TVs will jump as well. What's even worse is that nobody talks about it :sergio: Our government gives us like 50e and they pretend to be heroes. But wages are shit, they stagnate and prices are jumping like there's no tomorrow. Almost each day I go to the store something went up.
Our government was giving $2500/month to people to not go to work for the first several months of Covid. For some people it was a pay raise :lol:

Prices are high here as well. Especially with the construction boom after opening up. Not much you can do probably until next year unless government intervenes. Microchip shortage and plastics have my work getting more expensive but people seem ok with paying at this point

Apparently lumber prices are beginning to crash here. They doubled and near tripled during Covid here, which was insane, but now they are about to enter free fall.

We got 100e in the first round. Then another 50-100. It's horrible but hey our minimal wage here is 300e so it's not a huge difference compared with your situation based on that. The difference is that we're poor.

Covid was always going to crush the economies and people of poor countries far worse. Which was never really considered in the slightest by the rich countries when deciding on what measures to take.

Yet everyone puts us in the same basked, everyone expects us to shut down industries, send people on leave, etc. Then dust settles and we're fucked in the ass unlike others because hey others can just print money and rely on QE to soft the dildo they are getting.

Consumables have started to level out here, but food and fuel have finally risen to a notable level. Will be interesting if we adjust supply chain to account for these issues in the future or just continue as is

So it is true that mostly brainless people get vaxxed
A lot of ppl are skeptical, but they won't say it out loud. They are getting the vaccine because that's what the others are doing, in other words, just following the herd.
If something happens in the future, they will just say, but we're all in the same boat.

I'm not sure people are just following the crowd for the vaccine, though I could see them following the crowd to avoid the risk of being excluded to go into a bar or a concert.

I'm still dumbfounded daily by the people who still don't understand what a vaccine does or does not do and what it does and does not have to do with infection and spread.

The political polarization has gotten so bad there are people who are afraid to suggest mask wearing because it might increase vaccine hesitancy (which, some say, was the original reason the CDC pulled back on mask mandate suggestions months ago). Same with factual information about how the vaccinated can still get COVID from each other and spread it, just to a reduced degree. So what we have are people telling white lies and fat lies to manipulate behavior rather than being straight with people.
