There's nothing wrong with wanting supporting evidence for claims, but when someone says something that's very provable and common knowledge and you ask for proof - you become known as an idiot.

They do mention the incubation period for Rabies in the article can be up to two years, and they also mention it being found in seals starting in 2021.

You are correct that anyone bit recently may not be able to 100% confirm no transmission, but if no one bitten since 2021 has had Rabies from seal bites its still an accurate assessment.

Especially if people are bitten in (salt) water. Rabies spreads via saliva which is likely going to have a significantly smaller viral load if the bites happen in ocean water (also mentioned as a possible reason for low/no infection)

Paying workers more is inflationary, but raising the cost of goods because you control the supply chain is "business"

Basically, raising product costs to cover increased labour costs are bad because actual workers are getting that money instead of the wealthy capital class.

I wish people understood boycotting more. Sure 6 companies own everything, but remember when the cost of a barrel of oil went significantly negative because people weren't driving for 2 weeks?

If people collectively decided they didn't want to buy anything but the absolute necessary staples for a few months there would be an absolute catastrophe in the supply chain and they'd be forced to lower prices significantly.

They may not lower prices forever, but modern business is built entirely on supply chain logistics. If people stop buying anything, or buy things exclusively to return them we would see some serious changes

Next time axe the executives and keep the staff.

Most executives I've met can't read emails and just point to one of two numbers and say "higher/lower!" while dreaming of KPI's that don't improve anything and solely exist to stagnate wages

Pretty rough reality.

People in cities often don't know or understand the first thing about nature and are content imagining it as some pristine "other" place outside of the cities they never leave.

Rural people who have access to nature tend to vote for the "put every chemical in the environment as fast as possible" parties.

The poor who live near natural beauty without industry have no clout or means to change anything outside their immediate village (even then its not likely)

The rich people who actually enjoy nature, live near it, and want to protect it - often only want to protect it for themselves. At best their environmental efforts are offset 1000x by their lifestyle.

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of rural/urban hunters, environmentalist, nature/outdoor lovers. But it's a relatively small group with little social crossover. And aside from the cottage are probably spending their entire outdoor experience on public walking paths and aren't aware of the extent of habitat loss, pollution, and mass die offs taking place.

We're completely fucked.

Rent doubles in 2022, then eventually drops by 7% by 2024.

Doesn't sound like lower-middle classes are winning to me.

Don't get me wrong, it's trending in the correct direction (finally). But people need to push hard until either the average/median workers wages raise, or rents fall until all the costs of shelter are 30% or less of salary.

Ideally there is a strong public housing presence that heavily depresses the profitability of being a landlord.

I'm pretty sure religious groups think every other group is as focused and dedicated to conversation as they are.

If they were left alone in a room with a child (or anyone really), their immediate action would be to determine how Christian the child is, test and ensure their faith is all consuming, or immediately begin the conversion process if they aren't already their personal brand of Christian.

They assume this is absolutely normal, expected behaviour. so any group that is different from them, must be doing the exact same thing, but with other idealogies.

Like how they hate Islam and Sharia law while endorsing 99% of Sharia law practices under a different name. Or they think every gay person has a gay agenda and needs to make every child gay because religion knows children are the easiest to manipulate.

They are obsessed with someone else being a groomer while being the most organized and dedicated groomers on the planet.

AI isn't good enough to replace workers, but it could probably replace C-suite executives at astronomical savings to the company

I'll take a competent grandpa with a lifetime of relevant experience who's slipping a bit, but has a great team supporting him and who yields consist, positive results over a Christo-fascist dictator who aims to dismantle democracy entirely.

I'd prefer a younger progressive to Biden, but youth isn't a guarantee of quality. Bobert, empty G, Gaetz, or Biden? You can throw that youth argument in the trash (Trumpster fire?)

That anyone seems to think Trump and Biden are even remotely close that you have to split hairs is laughable and shows exactly how effective and alive propaganda is.

A Conservative is someone who can't enjoy their dinner without knowing someone else is hungry

It's literally cartoon villain level headlines of evil and some people will still play the both sides game as if its a close call.

Things like water, shade, and breaks are somehow woke, and can be added to the pile of totally normal and reasonable things that benefit nearly everyone but are now bad because the angry person on tv made this face while talking about it 😡

I just showed this to my wife and she said it doesn't make any sense.

My life is this comic, It explains so much.
