This is messed up

You would think stress levels of Americans would be less post election and post CV inoculation rollout however, that doesn't seem to be the case according to a couple of recent publications I read earlier today.

One of the reports was published 2/3/2021 from 'The American Journal of Psychology' which looked at the hospital emergency department visits, data collected from late 2018 through end of 2020 and of the 187.5 million people. there was a significant indication that both suicides and drug overdoses increased 45% during that time and expected to be higher today however, the real numbers may not be available until the end of the year.

I included the second survey report below for anyone interested.

APA: U.S. Adults Report Highest Stress Level Since Early Days of the COVID-19 Pandemic​

"The survey found that the average reported stress level during the prior month was 5.6, (on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 means “little to no stress” and 10 means “a great deal of stress”). This is higher than stress levels reported in 2020 Stress in AmericaTM surveys since April. It is therefore no surprise that 84% of adults reported feeling at least one emotion associated with prolonged stress in the prior two weeks. The most common were feelings of anxiety (47%), sadness (44%) and anger (39%). Additionally, 2 in 3 adults (67%) said the number of issues America is facing is overwhelming to them."

Just wait until we have another recession like 08-09

According to the attached article below, our country surpassed the recession of 2008-09 by percentage total back in April of 2020, however the recovery appeared or somewhat appears to be happening at a quicker rate, but for how long, who really knows?

I do foresee further ruling authority, top down restrictions and/or demands imposed onto the public/workers/citizens/Americans due to both the current coronavirus variances and/or new unmentioned future virus/disease brake outs of something else entirely different. It will be an ongoing cycle, a reoccurring theme, or quite simply, repeated attempts to further increase control of 'we the people' for the sake of our health & safety. It seems to be working currently and especially for those one percenters, those billionaires that are making money hands over fists under the illusion of saving the world/economy.

I also believe there will be substantial evidence further on down the road, perhaps by September of this year that will hopefully shed much better information regarding Operation Warp Speed (OWS), whether the operation is indeed truly successful or not, including herd immunity if in fact, is taking place however, no one today can tell you with absolute certainty just how long the current pharmaceutical injections will actually last of those individuals that accepted the jab already, or that the pharmaceutical injections will truly protect those jabbed from becoming infected and/or continue to be contagious. If someone does, they are lying!

Those who have or soon to be injected with either of the FDA emergency approved needle pharmaceutical injections are partaking in a huge experiment. That is why they (meaning the governments/CDC/employers) can not legally mandate the inoculation/injections currently, according to international law. Once the pharmaceutical companies receive a completed FDA official approval/authorization (a nonemergency use authorization), that may change to being mandatory.

Below are a couple of excerpts from the attached news article that I cared to highlight. I suspect this information I am sharing may not truly qualify under the initial thread topic and perhaps should be placed into one of the other CV threads however, I wanted to respond to you directly since you first responded to my last post within this thread. I do expect a continence or perhaps another recession sometime in the near future, and/or possibly a new monetary system altogether. Regardless, no mater which one rears there ugly head, surely many people will suffer unfortunately.

"WARNING: Economists warn that the economy needs a widely distributed vaccine before unemployment returns to normal levels.
Two vaccines have been approved for emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but distribution has been slow."

"In 1933, the unemployment rate reached a record of 24.8%. Unemployment remained above 14% for nine years, between 1931 and 1940. April's unemployment rate reached that level in just a month.

In November 1982, unemployment rose to 10.8%. During the 2008 recession, unemployment peaked at 10% in October 2009.

These were devastating recessions. High unemployment levels lasted for years. That's not expected to happen with the 2020 recession."

What Is the Current US Unemployment Rate?

The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.7% in November 2022, near where it was before the pandemic. That's the same level as November and in line with economists' expectations.

That whole video makes you wonder??? First as stated earlier: Who the hell mouths off to a person with a gun and says go ahead and just stands there... Walk away... Then when first shot is fired you continue to just stand there... Jump the guy... He's shooting at you, if your gonna get shot at least put up a fight... Strange how many rounds were fired before one finally connects...

Horrable situation. But theres a lot to learn from it. People that run their mouth like that don't expect anything to happen. They've been able to successfully bully and intimidate people with their mouth and aggressive posture of advancing towards them or not backing away. This has worked so well in fact that when the shit hit the fan their minds have been conditioned to continue that behavior or amp it up. Fight or flight doesn't exist because their mouth and aggressive posture has allowed them to "win" in these situations. Unfortunately for them they pushed the wrong person a little too far.

They both recognized he had a gun. She advances toward him fishing for her phone and saying "go ahead" because she thinks a video is going to intimidate him and put her in the right, another intimidation tactic. He says put the gun down twice but says it in a way like "Put the gun down so I can kick your ass" and he just stands there. The shooting starts and he just kind of turns sideways, She is still running her mouth saying "you're on video".. This dude is ripping off shots and BOTH of them are still continuing their belligerence to the gravity of the situation. Now the interesting part, He gets struck, shit just got real for him and he yells "Call the cops". She says "you fucker" but still in a fuck you type tone. She takes a round and she again yells "You fucker" in the same tone as before she was shot, he walks up to shoot her in the head putting the gun in her face and she again yells at him "you fucker". No begging for her life, no "I'm sorry", No "I have kids", Just continuing to berate the guy that shot her. He walks past her with an empty gun to go get another gun and her words we "You fucker you" But her tone has changed to now a "I can't believe you did this you fucker". So she took a round or two and that gravity of the situation STILL didn't get real for her. It wasn't until after he shot her in the head and went to shoot the other guy again did her tone change to a "I can't believe this" type statement. Not one single time did either of them try to deescalate the situation personally. Unbelievable really until we start to understand how people that put on a big blow hard persona really don't expect anything will happen. Every person you meet has the physical ability to kill you, we're all animals living in a symblance of civilization.

Some people think that by pointing out that the victims made mistakes by escalating the conflict or not leaving before things out of control that you are blaming the victims. No more so than saying if you left you house unlocked the burglar wasn’t at fault.

One of my teachers used to say “look for a good bad example”. Watch what someone does that ends up bad and do it different then them.

I still can't figure out why the couple just stood there getting shot at. Sure, he was missing, but he was also advancing... retreat, find cover... you can keep calling him a fucker while the cops are taking his ass away
