Not much I had dogs. All I asked for is proof of said claim.   Courtcase would be the best form of proof.

If you need a court case to prove that the war on drugs has been frequently used as a backdoor to undermining the constitution then it is extremely difficult to have a productive reality-based conversation. That is like saying all the Snowden revelations about illegal government spying are lies because nobody got convicted yet based on the copious amounts of evidence that was released.

I agree with you on that.  The war on drugs is the stupidest war ever and does infringe on freedom.  But I was looking for specific case  example for the dogs cause that's pretty next level.  Most cops are good cops. Following orders, which happen to be anti American values.

Bill Gates is also a criminal, so does that make him a criminal mastermind?

How is he a criminal?

Don't be silly you silly goose. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I think his road is to a better place.  He almost cured polio.  I don't see some evil addenda.  So far he has done mostly good for the world.

How many countries have removed him and his NGOs. He has also left in his wake many steralized people.
He does it for our children right?

Also found guilty of one of the largest anti trust cases in history, after which he shuffled his money in to a "charitable" foundation that works to influence public policy in a way that makes him more powerful than most elected officials. He never stopped wanting to control the world. He just got better at PR.

So prior to Gates, there was no vaccine for polio?  WTH was I being injected with when Gates was still in college?

Eliminating Police Bias When Handling Drug-Sniffing Dogs

Quote
On the surface, the study tested the abilities of fourteen certified sniffer dogs to
find hidden "targets." In reality, the dogs' human handlers were also under the
magnifying glass. They were led to believe there were hidden target scents present,
when in fact there were none. Nevertheless, the dogs "alerted" to the scents
multiple times — especially in locations where researchers had indicated a scent
was likely.

"I think the findings were a little surprising," Lit says. "I don't think the number of
incorrect responses was what anybody was really anticipating out of this study."
Quote
Police dogs searching for drugs sometimes "alert" for them when they're not there.
That raises questions about the influence of the dogs' handlers. As NPR learned,
 there is now an effort by some in the training community to eliminate the influence
of their handlers' suspicions to make dog searches more fair.

Lit's study made headlines in the U.S. and abroad, as it seemed to question the
impartiality of police K9 teams. In most states, an alert by a certified drug-sniffing
dog gives police the right to search your car; some cops jokingly refer to the dogs as
"probable cause on four legs."
With this study, that probable cause looked shakier.

He spreads the vaccine across the world to rid of the world of polio much like smallpox.

Bullshit.

Do some actual research.  Microsoft was not the best product, not by a long shot.  CPM was far superior.  MS had limitations that gave installers and users royal fits, such as the 64K main memory limit, 8-bit words, and a plethora of peripheral problems when it came to getting drivers to work.  Do you know how long it took for MS to support color graphics, a graphical user environment, or even SOUND (other than beeps)?  It took years after Apple had already been marketing all of that.

Bill Gates built an empire because (1) he figured out how to leverage "licensing" versus "purchasing" of his software, and (2) he negotiated exclusive contracts with PC manufacturers and builders to include MS DOS on ALL PCs they sold -- at a huge discount -- regardless of any other O/S's they installed, essentially blocking "better" O/S's from the market.  Who is going to pay for MS DOS AND another O/S at a higher total cost per unit?

Gate's springboard to the big time was when IBM asked to get his DOS for their PC line.  The kicker was they also needed the BASIC compiler to go with it, but Bill didn't own it.  After trying to negotiate with the BASIC designer (and his wife), the IBM execs asked Bill to write his own version of the compiler, which he did.  It was LICENSED as "PC DOS" and lead the market for home and business PCs.  Two years later, Bill started marketing MS DOS to compete with PC DOS, and IBM sued.  Turns out, IBM didn't understand what "licensed" versus "owned" meant.  Once the 2 year exclusive license expired, MS was free to use the same DOS base and compete.  For a long time, most places offered your choice of PC DOS or MS DOS, since they were almost identical except for a few command syntaxes or names.

Then, Gates started licensing his MS DOS as I said above, so it was required to be on every PC sold.  That pretty much gave him exclusive access to the PC-clone market.  Only IBM-branded PCs came with PC DOS.

When Windows 3.0 was released, it SUCKED OUT LOUD.  Nobody used it unless they had a critical application that required it.  Otherwise, we all used DOS or Macs.

Then Win 3.1 was released and was deemed "useable."  It was still DOS with a GUI frontend, but at least new Windows apps actually ran on it.  When Windows 3.1 came out, Bill Gates privately said that it would have failed had it not been the most pirated piece of software in history (at that point).  Once everyone had a legal or illegal version of Windows, they were locked into using Windows-compatible applications, like MS Office apps. 

I was an IT professional during this whole part of MS's growth.  I understand you have no knowledge of the reality of how Bill Gates built his empire.  Your opinions are just wrong.  Do more reading and less typing.  I recommend you watch a documentary or two. 

Gates was a good programmer, but he was a genius at marketing and creating a software licensing empire.

This does not take into account the less amounts of work deaths, car deaths and other deaths lessened because of the lockdowns.

So, the conclusion -- based on your comment -- is that people will die of SOMETHING.  Death can't be avoided.

We all die, it's just a matter of when and how.

Think about this.  If there's a 5% drop in the population due to work, car, or other deaths, then that's 5% FEWER LIVING PEOPLE who can be infected and potentially die (You Only Die Once).

If we don't do lockdowns, then that 5% of the population would have died of non-COVID causes anyway, reducing the number of people alive, and therefore reducing the number of COVID cases.

As for the lockdowns, it's a fact that most accidental deaths happen IN THE HOME.  Lockdowns and unemployment are keeping us at home more and more, including children.  What do you think that does to the death stats?
