This makes zero sense to me.
I wake up and I just can’t believe this is our 🌍. None of the official stuff is trustworthy. We haven’t seen a real leader in ages.

I can’t accept that there are *no* news desks that work. There are no candidates under 70. There are no Senators w/ relevant technical doctorates.
If your electrician were this incompetent your home would have burnt to the ground. If this were your plumber you’d be flooded.

Truly technical people can’t afford this level of delusion. The military can’t either. This is peculiar to “creatures of the system”. And no one else.

A) The odd story of both testing & fatality attribution over the past months has served to inflate fatality numerators & minimize infection denominators.

B) That had the effect of increasing compliance and decreasing questioning of drastic measures.

Q: Was B the point of A?
I cannot understand the seeming resistance to focusing on testing. In March/April we were meeting resistance to even the idea of testing. Why??

In the case of fatality statistics why would you want to collapse codes rather than have separate codes for definite v probable Covid?
I should say that my experience in public health circles is that people attracted to the field are *both* quite well-meaning & scary.

It works backwards from science thinking: “What would we have to tell the public & how would we coerce them to do the thing we know is needed?”

Listen carefully: you don’t have to elect Biden or Trump.

The world has woken up via being suddenly shut in doors by crazy incompetent people largely born in the 1940s and 1950s without a coherent explanation. Or plan.

Lives lost. Nurses sacrificed. Jobs & businesses destroyed.
You don’t have to take these choices. *Nobody* smart wants these people except to defeat each other. You don’t really like Fox. Or CNN. Or the NYT. Except when they go after your enemies.

Okay. So go cold turkey. Call them all what they are: The UnWorkables.
You would be better off with a thoughtful and competent 45 year old electrician or self made businessperson as president. Almost no ordinary people have family business interests in China or Ukraine. Chose anyone without dementia. Pick someone who can’t remember the moon landing.

My friend @RubinReport has a new book which I haven't seen yet. While we may have drifted apart somewhat politically, I'm looking forward to reading it & talking with him about the strong currents pulling us all apart & what he sees as hope. Check it out:
amazon.com/Dont-Burn-This…
And I should add, that it apparently went to Amazon's number 1 best seller in the Political category. Congratulations Dave!
Sorry: #4 in politics and #1 in political freedom.
