Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

2 G not only for brothels, but restaurants or other inside places, Munich Christmas market cancelled, many hospitals full under covid, delaying other operations, German politics with Angela still on business telling dramatic situation when more than 60000 new cases daily, are not thinking everything is fine in Germany when not even Winter yet, when rich Bavaria is already down under. Whatever hospitals rate, should be 2 G+ for brothels when vaccine is not enough to stop spreading. Cousin Austria is under full lockdown. I wonder how they will manage for ski big business. Same in Germany where ski is in Bavaria more than in Neuss dome.

[QUOTE=Pessimist;2629913]A bald kibitzer that has a basic high school education is the beacon for a nation that has more than half of global tech revenues and 70% of global tech market cap? OK then.[/QUOTE]Tech talent has a way of ending up in USA due to the investment climate in tech in silicon Valley. Not because Americans are smarter. In fact, most tech talent in the USA came from outside of the USA. And also due to bad climate for tech startups elsewhere in the world. One side of this relates to the payments made in stocks in the American tech sector. This is not doable elsewhere in the world unfortunately for several reasons. And the size of the US market is also an essential factor. We see that now as soon as a player with a larger population (China) grows up, sanctions are added in order to try to stay on top of the game.

[QUOTE=DrPoon;2629895]It said 24 hour quickest and 48 hour PCR test which differs from the 6 hour schnelltest previously.

Also kinder are exempt so a club filled with 17 year old girls is not required to be vaccinated?[/QUOTE]LOL.

Indeed, they extended the validness of Antigen Schnelltest to 24 hours instead of 6 hours (question still is if only the timestamp of Entrance in club is used, or (also) the time you are leaving the club? But ok.

For multi day stay in Germany you not only need more testing, but also might need to fill in the registration form when entering Germany (depending on where you coming from).

So in clubs, etc 2 G+ is required, during most other (leisure and culture) activities you need 2 G, only at some business activities, 3 G will still be ok.

[QUOTE=Mursenary;2629948]Difference between Rogan and this retard is that Rogan is informed enough to support vaccines but just criticizes universal mandates regardless of risk group or prior infection status. He's also not an essential oils retard. Rogan has plenty of weirdos on his show who comes on thinking that he would agree with their left field theories only for him to expose them for their looney beliefs. But then Joe smokes a joint with them and all is well.[/QUOTE]Who says I am against the idea of vaccines? I'm just against being foolish and listening to handpicked evidence when side effects are worse than the diseases.

Tran is more than just essential oils, but suit yourself with your anti-scientific beliefs in this case then.

And of course universal mandates are bad. They are as bad as stasi German Gestapo. And half the world is celebrating it believing it is fine. All because of clever packaging and dumb foolish sheeples like you.

[QUOTE=Mursenary;2629966]Let us calm our tits a bit. Cases high yes, but deaths not rising proportionately. Considering that this time last year Germany was in full lock down but this year things are near wide open yet they seem to already be coming down from their hospitalization mini-peak, it seems they're still holding steady. With each mini peak, the severity will keep lessening. It will be a downward series of smaller and smaller peaks as the unvaccinated get exposed and the pool of those at risk for severe disease dwindle. As time passes, the "covid will become endemic" seem to be the ones who got it right.[/QUOTE]Based on reports from Germany it's likely that some sort of lockdown will come soon, at least at local level. In Switzerland they claim no new measures so far.

[QUOTE=Pistons;2630065]Who says I am against the idea of vaccines? I'm just against being foolish and listening to handpicked evidence when side effects are worse than the diseases.[/QUOTE]You did, over and over and over again. That alternate reality must be getting more and more rooted.

Recall the story of you as a petulant child, likely due to a deathly fear of needles, raising hell and embarrassing your parents by crying all the way to the nurse's office because "he already knew better" that vaccines were a hoax. There lies the origin story of the adult antiVax nutjob, just a pussy scared of needles trying to justify his innate Bitchassness with absurd pseudoscience theories.

Nothing special about the American people. If anything, how easy it is here makes the people raised in this environment soft, especially the ones who grew not knowing poverty or unequal access to opportunity.

That being said, the system is great for those with the hunger to play the game. It's easy to acquire wealth here if you don't fall in the cultural "Keeping Up with the Jones" spending + credit trap. Starting a business, easy. Market investment, easy. Career changes, easy. And while there are many nations that produce decent qualities of life for a small population, those nations are also limited with a small ceiling due to a lack of diversity in industries and resources. Say a country like Norway, other Scandinavians, or even Netherlands. Great standard of living in a small population. But nations like that are 3 trick ponies with low ceilings. They operate well in their cute little spheres but will never independently be world superpowers.

Again, nothing special about the people in the States, past or present, with perhaps the exception that it fosters an environment that attracts bold personalities from all over the world. The influx of success driven populations probably fuels an air of competitiveness that ensures that the people who have been here for several generations must stay on their toes to maintain their current lifestyles. Open competition makes this nation great, not any innate characteristic of the people.

Cost-benefit would favor restrictions in a large city in Saxony such as Dresden over a blanket lockdown that also covers a small city like Kaiserslautern near the Black Forest.

I must disagree with this characterization of the USA. There is no opportunity here except for crony capitalists who have government contracts. There is tons of violence and the threat of high rates of imprisonment that it is not a safe country to live in.

There is no more manufacturing base. Nothing is made here anymore except fast food with chemicals and genetic modifications that cause Americans to get fat and lazy and that the majority will be homeless soon due to the housing shortage and high rents.

Essentially living someplace that is safe with low rents would be a much better place.

The only thing good about the USA is that they have the correct lug nuts unlike Germany which has terrible lug nuts. So then maybe Japan is good since they also have the correct lug nuts, however they drive on the wrong side of the road there.

Yes, Protestant work ethic is definitely a valid cultural point ingrained in Americana that separates Americans from say the 35 hour work week French style. It comes with its problems but definitely something that separates America from its Latin and even French influenced Canadian neighbors. Doesn't compare to the East Asian "work drone" work ethic but might be a happy medium between the French and East Asian work models. The "conquer the west" and "Manifest Destiny" images of "American-ness" is also something to be mentioned. Rebuttals that could / should have been brought up by the more emotional posters.
