"Texas parents of child who died of measles urge others not to vaccinate"

IsambardPrince

WTF

IsambardPrince

The Texas parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who died from measles Feb. 26 told the anti-vaccine organization Children’s Health Defense this week that the experience did not convince them that vaccination against measles was necessary.

IsambardPrince

“She says they would still say ‘Don’t do the shots,’ ” an unidentified translator for the parents said. “They think it’s not as bad as the media is making it out to be.”

IsambardPrince

The couple, members of a Mennonite community in Gaines County, spoke on camera in both English and Low German to CHD Executive Director Polly Tommey and CHD Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker.

“It was her time on Earth,” the translator said the parents told her. “They believe she’s better off where she is now.”

IsambardPrince

“We would absolutely not take the MMR,” the mother said in English, referring to the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination children typically receive before attending school. She said her stance on vaccination has not changed after her daughter’s death.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.dailykos.com | Texas proposes law to stamp out the 'furries' problem exploding in the schools

Mar 21 02:15

IsambardPrince

"A Texas lawmaker has introduced a bill to ban "non-human behavior" in public schools, such as barking, meowing and other animal-like practices commonly used by furries.

IsambardPrince

The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or FURRIES Act, was proposed in the state's House last week by GOP Rep. Stan Gerdes.

IsambardPrince

"No distractions. No theatrics. Just education," Gerdes wrote on X. "Texas schools are for educating kids, not indulging in radical trends. Let's keep the focus where it belongs—on preparing students for success in life."

IsambardPrince

Under the proposal, students would be prohibited from engaging in various animal behaviors, including using a litter box, licking themselves, making animal noises like barking, meowing, or hissing or otherwise pretending to be an animal."

IsambardPrince

The federal government backed over $1.6 trillion in student loans that are currently on the books.

Mar 21 03:19

IsambardPrince

A lot of that just goes bad or gets forgiven somehow, but then they viciously pursue others.

Mar 21 03:19

IsambardPrince

It's very chaotic and you can't go bankrupt on it.

Mar 21 03:19

IsambardPrince

The reason they give kids unlimited money with no obvious means of repaying it is that the government guarantees you will pay no matter what they have to do to you.

Mar 21 03:20

IsambardPrince

One of the reasons student loan debt is so high is because a lot of colleges know you can easily borrow so much, to study anything no matter how useless it is, and they can get all this past a kid along with outrageous tuition which is largely embezzled by the administration.

"The Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 400 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in the unredacted files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, according to a review by The Washington Post.

IsambardPrince

IsambardPrince

"More than 60,000 pages related to the 1963 assassination were released this week by the Trump administration. Many of the pages had been previously disclosed, but with redactions. Many, but not all, redactions have been removed. The records have been posted to the National Archives webpage under the headline “JFK Assassination Records — 2025 Documents Release.”

Mar 21 04:34

IsambardPrince

After The Post reported the inadvertent disclosure Wednesday, The White House rushed to mitigate the impact. The National Archives started screening the documents for Social Security numbers so that the Social Security Administration could identify living individuals and issue them new numbers, a White House official said."

this needs to stop. it's still better to have the jobs go to india rather than bringing them here via visa/greencard though. if they switch to heavily offshoring to india, the company will go downhill faster. the resounding evidence is that indian workers are incompetent in addition to be very dishonest. because they play by a very different set of corrupt and incompetent rules than the west does, they are obvlivious to their own

schestowitz[TR2]

incomptence and dishonesty.

schestowitz[TR2]

as these companies offshore to india more and more, they will continue to fail and have issues. better to get it done sooner rather than later.

schestowitz[TR2]

for the indian visa/greencard holders in the US right now, it's it in your best interest to plan on leaving. you are really underestimating how much you have worn our your welcome in the US and the reputations you have earned. if you are home owners here, plan on selling when the time comes for you to be sent back (it is coming) because American's will not want to rent your homes.

schestowitz[TR2]

Please do not underestimate how fed up ALL Americans are with you or dismiss this as racism or hinduphobia, you deserve everything come to you. Laws can and will be changed! Remember you come from millennia's of failure regardless of your grand delusions that india is not a filthy, 3rd world country (you are personally responsible for that).

Congress really needs to reform the student loan program.

Mar 21 07:13

IsambardPrince

They need to narrow what you can study with a federally backed student loan, lower the interest rate, set GPA requirements for each round of loans, and make it possible to file bankruptcy under more circumstances that qualify as undue hardship.

Mar 21 07:13

IsambardPrince

That's what I would do.

Mar 21 07:14

IsambardPrince

They should also mandate standardized testing, which Illinois got rid of, to take on a federally backed loan.

Mar 21 07:14

IsambardPrince

I'd also make private loans fully bankruptable like any other loan.

Mar 21 07:15

IsambardPrince

The interest rate on those would be based on your credit, and how much you could get would be based on repayment ability.

Mar 21 07:15

IsambardPrince

Private lenders should face loan default risk.

IsambardPrince

Taxpayers shouldn't.

IsambardPrince

MinceR, I was fucking with a Fundamentalist Christian on Reddit.

IsambardPrince

IsambardPrince

You people have never had a coherent message

IsambardPrince

In that garbage Christian homeschooling crap it is anti-Marxism and then teaches children to be frugal and avoid Consumerism at all costs.

IsambardPrince

This sounds like Communism with extra steps.

IsambardPrince

If people did this the economy would fail, everyone would get fired, and you'll have revolutionary Communism really fast.

IsambardPrince

Since you're a bit thick, let me spell it out. You guys don't like consumerism. Fine. I don't like it either. We agree on something finally.

IsambardPrince

Try it, see what happens. I'm begging you.

IsambardPrince

The US is not a nation of savers, but rather spenders.

IsambardPrince

People spend so much that almost nobody has a positive net worth, financially I mean.

IsambardPrince

Being broke doesn't make someone a bad person, per se, it just means that they have incorrect financial priorities.

IsambardPrince

On a personal level, you need savings to deal with unexpected events like job loss, the car breaking down, etc. without resorting to loans and credit cards, but on the other end lots of savings is bad for the macroeconomy because of everyone stops spending to build a cash buffer like half the economy goes away because you cut discretionary to the bone first, then you may even start cutting into bone to save money faster.

IsambardPrince

That would mean making do with cheaper groceries, not going on vacation that year, skipping the movies, using that laptop until it's worn out and won't get updates and maybe a bit longer than that.

IsambardPrince

Half the economy is vulnerable if people choose to become savers. But for a personal level, being a saver is the only thing that makes sense.

IsambardPrince

Walking around like my right-wing family members do and having everyone in Indiana lined up to sue you while you're in Disney World again for the third time that year is a bad way to live.

IsambardPrince

Nobody I know who is Progressive lives like that.

IsambardPrince

We know the value of money and that when you run out of money in this country, you live like hell.

IsambardPrince

Capitalism is brutal to people who lack the ability to spend if it becomes necessary, unfortunately right-wing people are too greedy and generally too lazy to earn, plan ahead, and commit to thrift.

IsambardPrince

They want everything now and don't pay their bills, so they end up like my fundamentalist Christian mother who gets cheated on a bad car at 30% interest.

IsambardPrince

These people have no understanding of money, or being good stewards of it, or their family, or anything really.

IsambardPrince

The Fundamentalist Christian "education" also promotes Apartheid South Africa (which had collapsed years prior and nobody ever updated the books. Which was essentially a form of Nazism.

IsambardPrince

The Reagan Administration vetoed the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act, but Congress overrode it into law anyway.

IsambardPrince

Now, Trump and Elon Musk (whose family made their fortune in slavery in Apartheid South Africa) are repealing civil rights regulations from the 1960s and are trying to bring back Segregation.

IsambardPrince

The Fundamentalist Christian "education" also informs students that women don't need human rights and their job is to be uneducated and pregnant, like ISIS or the Taliban impose on women.

IsambardPrince

These are ACE PACE and Alpha Omega LIFEPAC, btw. You can read about them online. I actually had to suffer through this and then get a GED because nobody recognizes a "homeschool diploma" issued by "yo momma"."

lol

Mar 21 20:56

MinceR

yo mama so fat she can issue diplomas?

Mar 21 20:56

IsambardPrince

Brandon Lobsta, etc. accuse me of being a Nazi. I am not a Nazi. I would have sanctioned South Africa much worse than what Congress did in the law in the late 1980s. Reagan didn't do anything.

Mar 21 21:00

IsambardPrince

I would have come down on them like a ton of bricks, using things we're not even using on the Russians right now.

Mar 21 21:01

IsambardPrince

Including seizing all their State assets the US banking system has, and making it illegal for banks to do business with them, and putting sanctions on any country that offers them loans or weapons.

Mar 21 21:01

IsambardPrince

The US had the ability to be truly nasty back then, you know. Much more than it does now. It could have basically walled off South Africa and more or less ruined the government there. Putting them into total isolation.

Mar 21 21:02

IsambardPrince

I would have also threatened them with a Naval Quarantine to stop shipping.

Mar 21 21:02

IsambardPrince

And if that didn't work, we'd start a military intervention.

Mar 21 21:03

IsambardPrince

The US put a Naval Quarantine on Cuba and threatened to fire on any Soviet vessels unloading cargo there during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Mar 21 21:03

IsambardPrince

I would have toppled that government in about a month or two probably.

Mar 21 21:05

IsambardPrince

MinceR, Thatcher won the Falklands War pretty fast. Ultimately I think it was sort of pointless though.

Mar 21 21:06

IsambardPrince

They desperately felt the need to assert themselves because the last remnants of the British Empire were going away fast.

Mar 21 21:06

IsambardPrince

MinceR, "I've been seeing a psychiatrist for years. My mother misuses the term "Narcissist" to describe me, as a form of "DARVO" (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), but a true Narcissist would never go to Psychiatrists and therapy because they think they need to work on some things. Having the presence of mind to admit you're flawed is strong evidence against the accusation."
