    “Something else happens that's even more deadly. When people in positions of power use dehumanizing language to describe other groups, atrocities often follow.
    This is not ancient history: Consider what happened less than 30 years ago in Rwanda when some 800,000 civilians were slaughtered in a three-month period in 1994. Hutu extremists targeted both the Tutsi minority, who were a majority of those killed, as well as moderate Hutus.”

    Remember when Trump started dealing with the chicoms unfair trade with the US along with handing them a monopoly over our drug supply (including fentanyl) and he had the full support of the Pump leftards, the Congressional Dem and RINO leadership? Me either.

    "We're At End Days Here" - US Faces Rampant Shortages Of 116 Different Pharmaceutical Drugs

    BY TYLER DURDEN
    SATURDAY, FEB 12, 2022 - 05:00 PM
    Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

    Global supplies of pharmaceutical drugs are getting tighter and tighter, and this has very serious implications for 2022 and beyond. If you depend upon a certain pharmaceutical drug in order to stay alive, I would recommend doing whatever you can to make sure that you have as much of that drug stockpiled as possible, because a day may come when you are unable to get any more for an extended period of time. Much of our drug production has been outsourced to China, and our relations with China are not going so well right now. In fact, the moment that China invades Taiwan we are going to have a major league national crisis on our hands.

    Let me try to explain this one step at a time.

    The FDA regularly keeps a list of pharmaceutical drug shortages. According to that list, there were 112 drug shortages in the U.S. in November, and there were 114 drug shortages in the U.S. as of January 11th…

    Nationwide, more than 100 drugs are in short supply, including antibiotics, diuretics, opioids and heart failure medications, FDA data shows.

    As of Jan. 11, 114 drugs were in shortage, according to the FDA’s database of current and resolved drug shortages, which is updated daily. The current tally is a continuation of shortage levels seen last year. In November 2021, the FDA reported 112 drug shortages.

    I wanted information that was more up to date than that, so I went over and checked out the latest FDA drug shortage list for myself.

    There are 165 entries on the list right now, but 49 of them have been resolved.

    Subtracting 49 from 165 gives us a total of 116 pharmaceutical drug shortages in the United States at this moment.

    That is shocking.

    What are people supposed to do if they can’t get the drugs that they need?

    Unfortunately, this is another area where we have outsourced a tremendous amount of production to China.

    Today, a whopping 97 percent of all antibiotics purchased in the United States come from China.

    Just think about that.

    If our supplies of antibiotics were suddenly cut off, a whole lot of Americans would die.

    And it isn’t just antibiotics that we are talking about. According to one expert, if China suddenly cut off the flow of pharmaceutical drugs many of our hospitals “would cease to function within months, if not days”…

    Remember when Cho Bai Den said he was going to solve the California supply chain issue and then moved quickly to get the trucks rolling to help clear the ports? Me either.

    Oakland Truckers Overwhelmed By Looming CARB Rule, Supply Chain Obstacles

    BY TYLER DURDEN
    SATURDAY, FEB 12, 2022 - 04:00 PM
    By Clarissa Hawes of Freight Waves

    Besides the daily challenges drayage truckers face to keep their small businesses afloat at the Port of Oakland, some are questioning whether they still will be operating this time next year. That’s because of an emissions rule in California that is requiring them to upgrade their trucks to include 2010 model year or newer diesel engines by the end of the year.

    Bill Aboudi, president of AB Trucking in Oakland, planned to upgrade his aging fleet by replacing half of his trucks this spring and the remainder in the fall to comply with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Truck and Bus rule deadline of Dec. 31.

    Those plans are on hold for now, Aboudi said, as used truck prices continue to soar because of semiconductor shortages, which have caused larger fleets to hold on to their old equipment longer because of new truck order delays. He and other drayage companies typically buy their used trucks from over-the-road fleets, which are typically on a three-year depreciation schedule.

    “I get asked about a possible CARB extension every single day by owner-operators,” Aboudi told FreightWaves. “CARB is creating uncertainty if they will be able to earn a living next year.”

    The CARB rule covers all diesel vehicles with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating greater than 14,000 pounds.

    Lynda Lambert, public information officer for CARB, said there is a provision in the Truck and Bus rule for new truck buyers who are experiencing manufacturer delays, but there’s no extension for California truckers who planned to buy used trucks but either can’t find one or can’t afford one because of supply constraints.

    J.D. Power Valuation Services reported that used truck pricing in calendar year 2021 soared over 96% higher than in 2020 because of the chip import issues, which have drastically impacted the new truck market.

    A new truck can have up to 35 chips that are used to collect data.

    Prior to these challenges, Aboudi said, he would typically be able to find a used 2011 to 2016 model year truck for between $30,000 and $50,000 for his drayage operation. But not now.

    He recently looked at a late-model truck with over 500,000 miles. The dealership was asking nearly $130,000, his initial budget to purchase three trucks.

    Joe Rajkovacz, director of governmental affairs for the Western States Trucking Association, headquartered in Upland, California, estimates that over 40,000 trucks will be affected by the CARB rule based on the government agency’s data.

    He said WSTA is talking with other trade groups about submitting “a unified request for a delay in the CARB rule.”

    “If people think there’s a supply chain issue right now, imagine taking that many trucks out of service that can’t be replaced because of the computer chip shortage,” Rajkovacz told FreightWaves. “We believe a delay is warranted because of significant supply chain issues such as the inability to get a new truck or even buy a compliant used truck.”

    One owner-operator in California made the decision to retire after he received an offer he couldn’t refuse for his late-model truck, which had around 400,000 miles.

    “I planned to stay in trucking for another year or two and my truck wasn’t even for sale, but a guy offered me nearly triple what it would typically go for in a normal year,” the driver, who didn’t want to be named, told FreightWaves. “I’ve been at this a long time and my truck was paid off so I weighed hanging in there a little longer and possibly having a major mechanical problem, or getting out with a little money in my pocket. I took the money.”

    Two owner-operators Aboudi knew in Oakland retired this year rather than continue hunting for trucks in an already tight used market. He said some drivers with trucks that meet CARB’s 2007 diesel engine requirement want an extension. This would give drayage haulers time to fix their current equipment and let the used truck market cool down.

    “Port truckers are under a lot of stress already and we need an extension to the CARB rule by a year or two to let prices of trucks drop a little and we can rest a little easier,” Aboudi said. “If not, some aren’t going to be able to stay in business because they just can’t afford to buy used trucks at these prices.”

    Just don't call it a mental illness. And the people who facilitate this madness are as culpable. How messed up are the new doctor ethics rules when amputating healthy body parts is seen as doing god's work. Once it was do no harm, now its injecting 8 month old healthy infants with zero risk from the chicom crud with an experimental drug.

    Woman, 26, who came out as a trans man at age 19 reveals she is now 'DE-transitioning' back to female - six years after starting testosterone and having her breasts surgically removed

    Issa Ismail, a barber from Detroit, Michigan, was born a biological woman

    When she was 19, she announced that she was transgender and started transitioning to a male by taking testosterone

    She took hormones for six years, and they completely changed her body. She also surgically removed her breasts, but soon realized she wasn't happy as a man
    In February 2021, after developing depression, she decided to 'de-transition' back into a female and stopped the testosterone therapy altogether

    Now, she has shared her experience in the hopes that she can help others who are struggling with their gender identity and are unsure about transitioning

    She’s probably the only one that feels this year.
