(I'm not quite that high on Rand but I find the broad narrative insightful)
not going to happen soon, but it's good to keep this idea alive for the next financial crisis
There were delousing chambers

they're stained blue from the cyanide in Zyklon B, unlike the supposed gas chamber (aka morgue which was converted into an air raid shelter)
Why else would his victory cause Union government employees to go to prison? Or profitable arrangements to end?

If you look at "pox" illnesses there's tremendous overlap in the symptoms of monkeypox, chickenpox, smallpox, cowpox, measles, shingles, etc
If you look at the cold & flu type illnesses there's tremendous overlap in their symptoms as well.
I think all of the above are actually 1-2 illnesses (depending on whether the poxes can be meaningfully differentiated from the colds).
There might be multiple groups trying to poison each other (and the rest of us). But, we are exposed to these "pathogens" all the time, so if they were capable of replicating in a healthy person to the point of causing illness and death, we would already be dead.

I'm a data analyst in the corporate world
I might have had to use exponential functions once?
I have never had to do algebra or calculus in my professional life
However I have used statistics many times
I think for almost all jobs fairly basic arithmetic is all that's needed
What has Israel done for USA?

I use a similar service.
I haven't got any spam calls, but I have gotten some spam texts.
I made a political donation a few months back and I would guess my number was sold on
Madness.
Of course Bitcoin can go down in price
The downside is real
Nothing insane needs to happen
Just a big dip / crypto winter and then their fiat liabilities force liquidations at a big loss
