This post’s purpose is not clear. What are you trying to do with it? If you don’t give a fuck about keeping appearances, why have you written this? Is it a protest against current norms? Is it an invitation to others to also disregard norms?
This post is also just rude. Keep your ad hominems to yourself.
Can you provide some links on the latest IFR estimates? A quick Google search leads me to the same 0.5% ballpark.
