dditional boosters. I got the first one because that was part of the first set but I didn't get any additional boosters. Don't plan to. So I determined that the reason that people think that I was pro mask and pro vaccine is one tweet. Because when I challenge people that why they think my view was the opposite of what it was they produced one tweet. And the tweet was this. It was after I got vacc…

All right. Somebody says Locals is an echo chamber. Well you know that has more to do with the business model. It's meant to be a community of people built around a certain set of ideas. So yeah I mean calling it an echo chamber is sort of dismissing the fact that it's designed to be that for its benefits. So you can get the other stuff anywhere else you want. And it's not like the Locals people agree with me all the time. Let me ask you this. On the Locals platform how often do you disagree with me? Well it's a lot.
All right. They're not more analytical. They're more agreeable. Somebody says no they're actually they're more analytical. They almost always are more likely to see the hidden trap. So they've been trained to spot the traps and the regular public has not largely.
All the excess deaths above baseline. I don't believe the numbers. Yeah so you'll see lots of things on Twitter you know excess baseline deaths and like the — I have the same opinion of all of it. It's just not credible. Some of it might be true but there's nothing I could believe at this point. So only time is going to get us a good answer. Anything you're looking at today let me say this. If you saw online somebody said baseline deaths were through the roof and therefore the only explanation it has to be the vaccinations themselves but you're not seeing other entities pick that up, take something from that right? Sometimes it's because somebody got suppressed. That's a real thing. But more often it's because other people looked at it and said I'm not convinced. That's what I think. So while I would take it seriously that there are smart people who have found anomalies in the death rates I take that seriously and I would definitely like people to look into it. But I don't know that the story is that everybody's ignoring it. I feel like the story is other people looked at the data and said I don't see it. I feel like that's what's happening.
All right let's not talk about that anymore. Did spending 6 trillion for COVID lead to facilitating war in Ukraine? Did it? What would be the connection there? Apparently there's a general understanding now that Biden is basically botched the Afghanistan pull out, the baby formula thing he didn't act fast enough, Ukraine is kind of a mess, he caused inflation, he caused the energy shortages. He basically caused every problem by his actions didn't he? I feel like it basically he literally caused every problem we have including division right? Everything.
Why do people hate Tesla? Because people hate everything successf

ul. You know 40% of the public is gonna hate anything that's successful. By the way those of you who are saying that the 81 million votes is telling you something that's not the best argument. It's not because it leaves out the fact that the country is bigger and that people were more interested in voting. So the whole 81 million votes thing that I don't find that persuasive at all. It just it fee…
