States don't collect federal taxes

Next up this morning setting up a hydroponic system for indoor tomatoes and getting some starts going for outdoor market garden.

Well having read the news, I've been blowing off steam shit posting at Dem Senators. How about you? 😜

Yep and given a chance to do SOMETHING about it you chose to appease him like the coward you are.

Dem Senators caving in like the cowards they are when given a golden opportunity to fight back

Yes! If only there were SOMEONE who could actually fight back against these people and not cave like a complete coward when the moment presents itself.

He wants to know where the $ went:

$670B - PPP loan forgiveness for rich people (Trump + Biden)

$1.5T - In additional CARES Act Covid Stimulus (Trump)

$2T - 2017 Trump tax cut mostly for rich people (Trump)

$8T - Global War on Terror (multiple Presidents including Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden)

I think you may be stuck in a tech bubble / echo chamber. True community is stronger in America than anywhere in the world.

Sadly, it seems unrealistic to expect Federal Marshalls would or could enforce court orders in the event legal actions brought against the administration succeed in court.

Public transport availability and utilization. A smaller proportion of the population in these other countries relies on auto transport. Also there's less urban sprawl so they spend less time in cars, traveling at lower speeds.

One of these guys was an "illegal" immigrant

one of them is married to one

and one of them deported more than any President in history

...make it make sense

Mike Hoerger, PhD MSCR MBA on X: "PMC COVID-19 Forecast, March 11, 2024 🧵1 of 3 🔹3.5 cumulative infections per person on average in the U.S. so far 🔹7.3 cumulative infections per person on average in the U.S. in four years, IF transmission continues according to the status quo of the linear trend 🔹Many… https://t.co/6BY0BhihVb" / X PMC COVID-19 Forecast, March 11, 2024 🧵1 of 3 🔹3.5 cumulative infections per person on average in the U.S. so far 🔹7.3 cumulative infections per person on average in the U.S. in four years, IF transmission continues according to the status quo of the linear trend 🔹Many… https://t.co/6BY0BhihVb

Also Hoerger's chart shows infections increasing linearly which again demonstrates that there is no evidence of durable immunity.

WW monitoring coverage is spotty in US but even if you believe Hoerger's estimate (I think its low) the AVG is 3.5 ie roughly half of everyone in the US has had covid between 3.5 and 6 times as of March. Most of those infections happened after 2021 so there's a significant part of pop @2+ per year.

Me too

Brendan Crabb is the Aussie version of Bob Wachter in the US. He isnt a "minimizer" he's a "justifier". Convincing himself and others that the risks are lower than they are. Bob Wachter unfortunately FAFO.

Immunity to covid is temporary as in only a few months post infection and not sterilizing as in it doesn't prevent reinfection. The Ro of covid remains way higher than 1. If it was 1 everyone you know wouldn't be getting covid 3-4x a year (everyone I know is).

Nice rock

Think Ro is between 5 and 6 actually. Where have you seen that it is close to 1?

A dramatic morning sky, gray clouds touched with pink from the opposing sunrise, creates a backdrop for snow covered trees and a quaint weathered barn. The moon is visible in a patch of blue sky directly above the barn.

Good morning! A sunrise from a few months ago. It's amazing what happens sometimes when the earth turns.

It's very Mao c. 1966.

Also, R.I.P. Irony, R.I.P. my friend.

Didn't see Toyota, Honda, etc on the list; any difference? How do Hybrids compare to CO2 emissions related to EV charging given mix of generation types (gas-fired, coal-fired, etc.)?
