Things that annoy me (5 Viewers)

Had two Camry's and great cars. Gave my last one to one of my son's and it's still going, no problems. Beamers have a bad rep, my nephew had one and transmission had problems, for which BMW is renown. Have owned several Lexus and Mercedes and yes they are more expensive but, for me, the quality is much better. Everyone has their own tastes and good to have choices.
 
What a drag it is getting old…….

As I get older I find myself wanting comfort and access more than anything.

I generally choose to drive our SUV or sedan over our truck or fun/sports car.

The sports car requires 47 yoga moves just to get into the driver’s seat and getting out of the truck requires a Sherpa.
I have the same problem but fun to drive!
 
Letting Fauci off the hook is a bit perplexing since his entire job and career were to prepare for a pandemic. He somehow made millions in this capacity. And when the pandemic eventually came, he was completely incompetent. If anything, his recommendations made a bad situation much worse by pointlessly closing down the entire country. It will take generations to recover from that incompetence. The only question left is whether his incompetence was intentional for political purposes and to cover his own involvement with the Chinese lab. Or was he just used by corrupt politicians to maximize the impact of the pandemic to undermine Trump? Either way, he failed miserably. Nothing RFK could ever do can ever top that. The media no longer reports at all on COVID. It's as though someone waved a magic wand and it has disappeared. I assume some people are still getting sick and even dying from it, but you would never know that from the media. In contrast, if a very few people get measles, it is a front-page story. That is the product of a corrupt media driving a desired narrative and ignoring anything contrary to the desired narrative.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was the highest paid employee in the entire U.S. federal government, with a closing salary of $480,000 a year...big money...more than the president...a 1/2 million dollars a year...he didn’t demand or extort this salary...he was offered this salary...he also netted more income through royalties, speaking engagements, awards, investment gains and royalties from publishing rights…so yes...obviously he made a lot of money...nothing illegal...

In the latter half of 2020, key advisors, specifically Paul Alexander, a Canadian scientist, was brought in under the Trump administration and he pressured federal scientist and public health agencies to suppress the current COVID-19 analyses and make them consistent to Trump’s rhetoric...birthing the concept of “herd immunity”…

Trump supported this idea...experts argued that “herd immunity” was unattainable without a massive death toll…

Dr. Fauci strongly opposed the idea of letting the virus purposely spread calling it “total nonsense”...the divisiveness of politics led many conservatives to distrust the previous health recommendations and not wear masks or get vaccinated…

President Trump and his administration were heavily criticized for down playing the virus’s severity, slow federal response and inconsistent messaging on masks and vaccines…

the death toll was astronomical…so...you blame Fauci?

Also I question the death toll as to what was correctly attributed to COVID-19...my aunt was in the twilight of her life...94 years old...due to “circulation problems”...they had to remove her leg...she passed away 1 day later...my cousins were advised her cause of death was COVID-19...they were flabbergasted...true story...

Also...since you alluded to what I will call “suspect cash grabs” from Fauci...how about Donald Trump?

Since returning to office in January 2025, Donald Trump and his family have generated at least 3 billion in just one year...not small potatoes...while sadly small business owners have suffered and gone broke with tariffs…

a $400 million jet..“a gift”…“free of charge”...Trump said...I don’t think so...that he plans to take after his term in office is over...what do you think the government of Qatar got for that?

As a result of his crypto sale by his family for another $500 million...a gift...I don’t think so...the Trump administration reciprocally approved the sale of Nividia’s advanced sensitive AI chips…quid pro quo...

you want an audience with Trump...or Trump’s favor...you better bring a gift…he’s a “gun for hire”…

whether it’s a $150,000 bar of gold from the Swiss...a $400 million Boeing 747 from Qatar...a Rolex watch...buying 49% of his “family crypto business”...golf clubs...the list goes on and on including a Nobel Peace Prize...the coveted FIFA Peace Prize...Trump and family have failed to report at least 117 foreign gifts...making billions not millions…
