Our tax money is always available for war! But when there's an emergency and we need our tax money back, there's suddenly not enough.
TAX MONEY IS ALWAYS FOR WAR! NEVER FOR US!
Why pay taxes at all?

so I looked around a bit online, and a number of those “one-star Yankee Candle reviews that are a sign of COVID!!!!” mention other scents the reviewer can smell just fine (eg other scented candles, the fragrance of the disappointing candle close up, the burning wax of said candle if not the intended scent, etc.). which sort of implies to me that it’s. not actually an issue with the reviewers’ sense of smell?
there was an informal study conducted, but it doesn’t seem to have controlled for reviews like that- where further information is given that makes a COVID-related explanation unlikely
also newer variants of COVID seem less likely to cause loss of taste and smell, so the new roundup of such reviews from 2022 has an even smaller chance of being actually COVID-related
it’s a wryly amusing correlation, and obviously COVID numbers have been up and down like the world’s most stressful, frustrating, and infuriating bouncy ball for years now. but if the candle thing is genuinely freaking anyone out...well, at least this one very specific metric seems to be less reliable than snappy Twitter posts would have you believe

Raw dogging deadly pathogens
Fuck the young, the elderly and the immunocompromised, Kerry’s not afraid of Covid because she’s that sure she’s going to be part of the “99.5% who will recover”. (It’s not 99.5% but Kerry can’t do math either.)
Kerry out here straight up raw dogging deadly pathogens.
Whoops there it is. Bye Kerry!
[ID: Facebook posts by Kerry Borland, Aug 12, 2020: “Here’s the deal. You’ve either had Covid, or you’ll get Covid. You’ll either die or be like the 99.5% and recover. It’s not going anywhere. Your government cannot keep you safe from a virus. But they can take your liberty. So stay home. Wear a mask. Convince yourself you’re safe. Let the rest of us live our lives.” “Wear a mask or don’t.” Jun 12, 2021: “Me walking around unvaccinated just raw dogging life.”Chereen Renee Fox, Nov 8, 2021: “It took me all day to process this. My dear friend Kerry Borland passed away this morning from a COVID related heart attack.”]

Btw, my "low ability" Y9s can tell you that stopping isolation for those who test positive for covid is a stupid idea.
But I guess they don't benefit financially from pretending covid is over.
Most of them have had covid, and don't want to catch it again.

As someone who studies history I often wondered how ordinary people thought about living through such huge historical events. Now I know they were sick and tired of that shit.

Gee I wonder how people are going to respond to being told they can’t go to parties and see family and friends by the government on one hand and being told they have to go to work every day including if they’re literally infected on the other. It’s almost as if America’s public health agencies and politicians have zero fucking credibility left.

Antivaxxers are really out here hollering “PeOpLe ShOuLd bE aBLe tO dEcIdE tO nOt GeT vAcCiNaTeD!!!”
They can? Nobody’s hunting you down with a tranquilizer gun and shooting the COVID-19 vaccine into you. You getting fired from your job or not being allowed into shops or onto airplanes because you’re not vaccinated is not you being forced to get vaccinated.
It’s you facing the consequences of your actions.
Nobody is required to deal with your plague rat ass. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, stay home.
