@Qunitii@RealCynicalFox I’m not so cynical that I think Biden admin wants to actively prolong. It’s merely they have no political will to confront Russia but are fearful of politics if it’s perceived they didn’t “help” Ukraine. Thus reactionary assistance.
For decades German intellectuals lectured the world about "moral duty", "historic responsibility", "Never Again",... and in 2022, when "moral duty", "historic responsibility", "Never Again", were acutely needed they were like: "Nope, we're super cool with russia doing genocide."
@politicalmath Everyone just stop! Stop testing everyone with a sniffle. Stop reporting sewage virus levels (a lagging indicator at that). Stop egging on the hand wringing.
Over Christmas our family had 2 COVIDs, 1 (verified) flu, and 2 ILIs. Winter has always been this way. It always will.
@KelleyKga They rounded UP by 25%?! Because they couldn’t afford a decimal point? That’s adding 48 deaths to the study population.
That alone smacks of author and reviewer bias.
I’ve mentioned it before, @HBO did an absolutely chilling movie on the Wansee Conference entitled “Conspiracy” & released in 2001, where senior Nazi figures discussed practical implementation of this.
No film better encapsulates the phrase “banality of evil.”
“Our future is not with great medical care but rather with saving lives”
“Our future is not with great schools and teachers but rather with students.”
It is exhausting, the purposeful false binaries created that misdiagnose and mis-remedy on the daily
@politicalmath With possible exception of Montana the dark green states are places I would never live. Perhaps I hold the key to figuring out long Covid.
@politicalmath This kind of chart has been around for a while. You can tell any story you want if you define the 0.0 line.
As near as I can tell that line is always “how the median Democrat votes”.
@politicalmath This is right up there with the “if you claim to be pro-life you should also be willing to force fathers to pay child support during pregnancy”.
And every pro-life person says “amen!”
@charlescwcooke Congress should tack it onto the debt ceiling vote. If Biden vetoes it the irony is rich, he creates a new emergency trying to preserve the old one.
@RealCynicalFox If they capture the dam could they just open all the sluice gates? Not as dramatic but more sustained. It might still make ferry and pontoon crossings impossible.
