since covid didn't go away but it's economic impact did (as society ignores the disease), it could be argued that trump is just bringing the economic impact back

i found the question much easier to understand when i visualized it with a graph (since it involves coordinates). that might make the existence of 2 answers more intuitive

ICE is advertising for supervisors offering $132-185K Managers- $306K Both have ZERO education requirements. Meanwhile: Teachers $46,526 Nurses $68,485 BOTH require bachelors degree and often a graduate degree.

sounds like there'd be a lot of demand for a new one then. that's a whole different kind of project, though

one possible work around for lack of land is community gardens

for hands-free operation. you don't need to wash your hands if your hands aren't the hands that get used

Damn right!!!

y'know i think we're just glad you're ok. things went pretty quiet for a while. thanks for the update

KING OF AMERICA
My latest song that is (intentionally) not funny

A smiling protester holds a large illustrated sign at a public demonstration in a city square surrounded by tall buildings. The sign features a black-and-white drawing of a man in a suit and hat pointing outward, with bold text that reads: “THEY BLAME IMMIGRANTS SO YOU WON’T BLAME BILLIONAIRES.” The style of the sign resembles vintage political posters. A crowd of fellow demonstrators is visible behind metal barricades in the background.

at least china got a tariff discount. everyone seems to get one except canada and mexico

in fairness, i'm not sure if anyone knows if he *has* to. he's certainly supposed to, but he gets away with so many norm violations, he may be able to get away with that too

i've been watching the primitive technology channel for quite a while. i never really got the impression it was trying to demonstrate self-sufficiency. i think it's literally about what the title says

yeah, we were so concerned about lying we never even dreamed about hallucination

For what it’s worth, here’s the editorial I sent the Globe and Mail April 5. The Globe took a pass.

Balancing Individual Rights and Community Health Requires Knowledge of History

not odd at all. that is why he hates due process

This needs to be treated like a five alarm fire by countries around the world that use the US vaccine safety database for ANYTHING.

The guy who stood in the way of the Trump admin falsifying US vaccine data is gone.

do i have to?

The number of American adults in the labour force with a disability since Covid

tech bro is short for technically broken

COVID didn’t end. Its story just stopped being told. A new story, rooted in the way we live now, would necessitate the telling of present-day truths.

the thought occurs that trump's reciprocal tariffs may be designed to convince nations to drop all their tariffs and give america the opportunity to use anti-competitive measures to kill those nations local industries and make them dependent on the US to extract wealth from them

If not DOJ, who will protect the ruling class?

i love that this reminds me of hazardous material symbols, and also that the T could just as easily stand for trump impacted items. because trump is a hazardous material

i guess that means they're just sparkling import taxes, then

no one would think twice about a family of 12 spending more at the grocery store than a family of 4

so why is a country of 300M getting butt-hurt that it spends more on cross-border trade than a country of 40M?

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

America Is Sleeping on a Powerful Defense Against Airborne Disease Treating clean indoor air as a public good would have protected Americans against more than COVID-19.

"As the pandemic unfolded, though, it became clear that the coronavirus did indeed spread through airborne transmission—even if the WHO took more than a year and a half to officially describe the coronavirus as a long-range airborne pathogen."

i've seen it mentioned, but it won't happen. even if america does swallow canada, they won't make us a state. the promise of statehood is just to make it look appealing. we'll almost certainly get the PR or DC treatment if it comes to that
