								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The problem with opinions about COVID, Vaccines and masks, is that people are talking about their beliefs. Beliefs are like a-holes, everyone has one, but hardly anyone has any facts to back up their opinions.<br />
Facts:<br />
According to WHO, of all the people that contract Covid-19, about 50% are asymptomatic.<br />
From the group that has symptoms, about 50% have very mild symptoms.<br />
From there another 50% Moderate and another 50% Severe.<br />
So just looking at these numbers, probability of death is very low. And once you get it, you become naturally immune. But that is not the end of story, according to CDC, out of all deaths, 94% had pre-existing health conditions.<br />
Keep in mind that above statistics fly out the window if you are over 65 or have pre-existing conditions. That is why all of my elderly family members are vaccinated. But for myself, I will take my chances with natural immunity rather than take experimental mRNA vaccine.<br />
And if anyone says that Covid vaccine is not experimental?</p>
<div dir="auto">Unlike traditional vaccines, COVID mRNA vaccine is a first mRNA vaccine approved for human use. (A very rushed approval). I know it has been tested on animals for past 15 years (with varying results), but this is a first large study on humans. I would rather wait to see long term results before I get jabbed.</div>
<div dir="auto">If anyone is interested, I am willing to give up my space in line for the shot</div>

<p>Transcript:</p>
<p>if you are liberal and can&#8217;t stand trump<br />
and can&#8217;t possibly fathom why anyone<br />
would want to vote for him let me fill<br />
you in<br />
we can&#8217;t stand you you&#8217;ve done<br />
everything in your power to try and<br />
destroy this country by tearing down our<br />
police<br />
our borders our history systematically<br />
destroying our schools and brainwashing<br />
our kids into thinking that socialism is<br />
the answer to everything<br />
demonizing religion and faith and<br />
glorifying abortion violence and thug<br />
culture<br />
from calling us racist to expecting<br />
everyone of every color to follow our<br />
laws<br />
to ridiculing us for having the audacity<br />
to wish someone a merry christmas<br />
or hang a flag on the fourth of july or<br />
stand for our national anthem or oh the<br />
horror wear a mega hat out in public<br />
so much for your tolerance we are voting<br />
for trump not because he&#8217;s the most<br />
charming character on the block<br />
but because we vote policy over<br />
personality and we are sick and tired of<br />
your divisive<br />
and destructive and ignorant and<br />
intolerant behavior and beliefs<br />
parading around as some kind of wokeness<br />
we are voting for trump<br />
because of you</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Biggest disaster that could have happened to all bars and wineries has happened tonight in California. Only two days before St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, Governor Newsom has ordered that all Bars and Wineries in the entire state to be closed because of Corona-virus (Covid-19) threat.</p>
<p>St. Patrick&#8217;s day is a biggest money making event to bars during a year, which can be compared to Black Friday to retail stores. Can you imagine if stores were told they need to close on Black Friday?</p>
<p>But some might say, but Coronavirus is so dangerous. It is only if you are in a certain age. If you are under the age of 50, the fatality is no higher than from standard flu.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-392" src="https://iproclaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/corona-death-by-age3-250x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="300" srcset="https://iproclaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/corona-death-by-age3-250x300.png 250w, https://iproclaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/corona-death-by-age3.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></p>
<p>Governor did a double whammy to all of industry in California. He did announce that everyone over the age of 65 to self-isolate at home. So that should have been enough to protect most vulnerable population. But to order to close all bars and wineries is not only unnecessary, but also an economic disaster to many small, privately owned, bars and their employees.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone in the USA needs to see this video. It shows that the USA is not the only country that is facing same immigration issue. Proposed solution by Sadhguru Yogi is same as what was proposed by our president.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t believe me? Just listen to this video and whenever you hear India, replace it with USA and when you hear Bangladesh, replace it with Mexico.</p>
<p>My only question is, how can exact same words be praised when they come from Yogi but be treated as racist when coming from Trump?</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-215" src="https://iproclaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/box2.jpg" alt="" width="690" height="388" srcset="https://iproclaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/box2.jpg 690w, https://iproclaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/box2-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px" /></p>
<p>Ordering from online stores is reaching new highs in America, and this trend is only heading higher and higher. All those orders are being delivered during hours when there is nobody home, and the driver has no choice but to leave the delivery  by the door. This is creating new epidemic of thieves, &#8220;porch pirates&#8221;, taking advantage of the easy pickings of deliveries just sitting there waiting to be taken.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, unless someone is home during delivery, there is not much that can be done to stop the thieves. If we can&#8217;t prevent the thieves, we can get even with them. Here is a brilliant idea on how to get even with the thieves.</p>
<ol>
<li>Once you receive a delivery, remove contents and keep the box. Remove any label from the box that has your name on it, so the  thieves will not have a record of who is pranking them.</li>
<li>Fill empty Amazon delivery box with your stinky kitchen garbage, kitty litter, dirty diapers, or be creative <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f4a9.png" alt="💩" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f603.png" alt="😃" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />.</li>
<li>Set the box in front of your door when you leave in the morning, and let the fun begin.</li>
<li>When you return from work and box is gone, you know the thieves took the bate.</li>
</ol>
<p>This will allow you to not only prank the thieves, it will make thieves provide you with free garbage removal service.</p>
<p>Have fun <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>Be very careful of &#8220;cherry picked&#8221; data, it can always be manipulated to support someone&#8217;s opinion. Chart above says 38.52% personal tax rate, but that does not include additional Social Security tax rate of 22.3% (total of 60.82%). Also Norway has one of the highest VAT (Sales Tax) rate of 25% (compare that to California 9%). And it only works in Norway because they have homogeneous population that share common vision, so things can get agreed on and done. Unlike in San Francisco, city spends over $250 Million a year for homeless (Plus additional $20 million in federal funding). All that for estimated homeless population in San Francisco of 7000. Even with all that money, nothing substantial gets done because they have constant arguments on how to spend the money. What was the latest idea? City funded Safe drug injection sites? What&#8217;s next, City funded Safe sex sites?</p>
<p>Other things that are wrong with the table above:</p>
<p>* GDP of $75,500 vs. $59,500 per person</p>
<p>It can&#8217;t be compared since Norway has huge oil and natural gas production and supplies 25% of entire Europe natural gas needs. And Norway only has population of 5 million. So yes, with big production and low population, GDP will look big per person. Just imagine how big USA economy really is in order to have GDP of $59,500 per person with population of 325 million.</p>
<p>* No security for seniors</p>
<p>This is not true, government does provide Social Security benefits and Medicare. It might not be great benefits, but statement that &#8220;no security&#8221; is plain wrong. In addition to Social security, many people also have 401K/ pensions from their work.</p>
<p>* No paid parental leave</p>
<p>This statement depends on the state you live in. For an example, California does provide 6 weeks of paid maternity leave and 6 weeks of paternity leave.</p>
<p>See video below that explains more about Scandinavian high tax rate.</p>
