How much CarbonDioxide have different continents released into the atmosphere since 1750?

Its time to stop blaming developing countries for the climate crisis. They are part of the solution, not of the problem.

About 600 soon-to-expire doses of Pfizer vaccine are available Sunday at the Ash Way Park & Ride vaccination clinic in Lynnwood for anyone 16 and older, and health officials are urging residents who haven’t yet received a shot to come by. https://t.co/DO50OLuJMK

People ask whether vaccinations can really blunt the variants

May I present data from Israel?

About 55% of the population fully vaccinated

Infections are down more than 90% since peak

So yeah, high levels of vaccinations really can bring this pandemic under control

[Jay Carney @JayCarney]

With great respect, Senator @ewarren, this isn’t correct about Amazon’s tax payments. But changing the law is certainly more productive than faulting companies for following it-and far better than threatening to break up American companies so they can't criticize elected leaders.

@tacertain @CenturyLinkHome Great example of customer non obsession.

@immivoice This stance doesn't make any sense. What about students on F1 visa who want to get jobs on h1b visas? Do you recommend that they go home until the backlog is cleared. This would just pass on the discrimination from folks waiting for green cards to students.
