moving to greece


with his wifey.

Unfortunately, it's probably a red herring. He and his wife and now citizens of Greece, but I don't know if he ever said he was moving there. It wouldn't make sense anyway; Greece's tax structure is ridiculous. Unless Hanks plans to retire, I don't know if he'll be thrilled with giving most of his earnings to the government for them to piss away.

There could be a reason for getting dual citizenship other than a planned change of residence to a country where the taxes would be a nightmare for them. Might this be of some possible benefit to her relatives back in the old country? Or maybe they just want a base in another country so they can move if they want to. Or have to.

Quite frankly, if I could get dual citizenship in another country, and could afford to buy a residence there, I would. The US is fucking up the pandemic so badly that there's going to be some deep trouble coming.

It's no worse here than any other highly mobile international nation in the world anywhere near the size and population of the U.S.

Yes, it is worse now, and it's going to get far worse in the weeks and months to come. New infections are skyrocketing right now, especially in areas where the governmental response has been inadequate and people have been refusing to follow common-sense precautions. With the disease's slow lag time, that means exponential rates of infection and sickness to come soon.

Zoom in on North America, see how all the bright red stops suddenly at the Canadian border. They've done it right, we haven't.

Confirmed cases mean nothing when so many people are asymptomatic and where testing is done at a higher population percentage. Hospitalization numbers tell the better story.

reply

Stay tuned.

Because there's a significant lag time between infection and testing, and in most cases, a good lag time between infection and showing symptoms, between showing symptoms and getting sick enough to seek hospitalization, and between getting hospitalized and dying. If I'm right, and I have little doubt I am, we'll see big jumps in hospitalization and death numbers over the next few weeks.

Given honest reporting of numbers, and hospital beds available for everyone who's sick enough to need one, of course. I consider both to be in doubt.

At this point, the "pandemic" is at least 80 percent bullshit. Back in March, hardly anybody was getting tested unless they were sick and went to a hospital. Now anybody can easily get a cheap home test kit and millions are getting tested. Of course there are more cases showing up, but most of those aren't even sick. Then there are the many false positives, and the many thousands of flu cases that have been wrongly identified as corona virus. Last year the hospital near me geared up like there was a war going on, with special tents set up to screen and quarantine the wave of victims that were anticipated. Today those tents have been pushed to the back of the parking lot and they're using them for storage. The sooner this idiotic, hysterical overreaction ends the better off we'll all be. Unfortunately, the Left and their news media lackeys love keeping the panic going and the power it gives them.

Sweetie, I have zipped up the body bags.

These people are absolute fucking children trapped inside the bodies of adults. They don't care about the realities you have to deal with. It doesn't conform to the beliefs of their Death Cult.

I'm pretty sure with Hanks' $$ he probably greased some of the Greek Government higher ups and in exchange for donating or funding certain investments they too are vested in they gave him a certain 'tax holiday' in return for a high investment stake.

good.
get this smug face bastards outta here.
