1 / The American Coup - day minus 27

There were two options at first:

1. Trump was never sick with COVID19 and he "pulled a fast Bolsonaro" (expression that designates the false allegation of being sick with COVID, ...=>

apnews.com/article/virus-…
2 / ... profusely share how good one feels and then use and I-told-you-so argument to "prove" covid is just a mild cold).

2. Trump not only was, but is pretty sick:
- IF the leaked information about his symptoms are true .... =>
3 / (very low oxygen saturation, fever, difficulty swallowing and breathing);
- IF he actually got monoclonal antibody treatment (not approved yet!)
- he might be displaying the slight improvement that precedes either ARDS or some other equally serious covid19 syndrome
4 / - he may be feeling great. In fact, he may be feeling so great as to just blow up the world. Why? Depending on the combination of drugs he was given/extorted from the medical team, it's an amazing trip.
5 / If (2) is the case, then the best outcome for the world (as opposed to being blown up by a junkie high on everything) is that he develops some bad syndrome as fast as possible and goes to bed in extreme fatigue.

1 / Who won the debate? Nobody: there was no debate. Kamala Harris would have won a debate if there was one. She is a trained litigator and masters the art of argumentation.

Why wasn't there any debate? Not between presidential candidates or VPs?
2 / Who knows. I suppose if one of the campaign managers insisted on rules the GOP side wouldn't have agreed and would proceed into yet another bout of conspiratory whining. Since it's all about perception and the perception of the average American is informed by...
3 / ... the intellectual capacity of a housefly, I assume this is what you get.

However, as someone who presided over more round-tables and presentations than I can count, let me tell you how it is done.

1 / Some well meaning journalists are confused with the term "steroid" and with the nature of the @Regeneron REGN-COV2 "cocktail".

Please read: some serious claims and even jokes are being made on wrong assumptions.

2 / Let's start with the word "steroid". We avoid the use of this term because it creates confusion. There are thousands of bioactive molecules based on the steroidal skeleton. They are modified from the much feared cholesterol molecule: Image
3 / The corticoids used in treatment to control hyper-immune response and allergies are usually hydrocortisone (the thing you use for insect bites), prednisone and dexametasone. Image

1. Educação em tempo integral

Na campanha do @zysmanneiman , não sou eu a responsável por produzir material de propaganda eleitoral para o eleitor nas faixas de renda e educação menos privilegiadas, o segmento que tem a experiência completa da exclusão social.
2. Se fosse, o argumento em favor de uma educação integral de qualidade seria mais pragmática e mais fácil.

1. A mãe trabalhadora e o cuidado da criança

O número de mulheres em idade fértil no mercado de trabalho segundo o IBGE está em torno de 70%. Parte do mercado informal e precarizado é mais difícil de captar.

1. Psychopathy and bonding - an unsolved puzzle

By now, it is almost consensual that the trumpet is a psychopath. Psychopathy is a complex category and it relates to several classes of disorders codified in the DSM-V. Melania shows psychopathic features as well. @duty2warn
2. If psychopathy is characterized by the (neurological, inherited or acquired) inability to experience empathy, sometimes accompanied by the sexual arousal by the control of the "other" (by manipulation, torture, conning or murder), how can two or more psychopaths bond?
3. Is it possible that psychopaths can not only bond, but associate, organize around their common psychopathic desires? Nobody knows.

From a reputable mental health professional who worked with hospitalized criminal psychopaths for years, I've learned that they can. @duty2warn

1. Mercado de trabalho, precariedade, sustentabilidade e exclusão: problemas interligados

O mundo mudou e o Brasil mudou. O trabalho informal no mundo cresceu e no Brasil, antes da pandemia, as estimativas de 2019 e 2020 variavam entre...

@REDE_18 @zysmanneiman
2. ... 40-50% da força de trabalho. A precariedade é a característica dominante.

Precariedade combina com insegurança alimentar, com impossibilidade de manutenção de padrões de moradia, com dificuldade de deslocamento urbano e com todos os demais indicadores que caracterizam..
3. ....a exclusão social. Tudo isso combina com a vitimização por problemas ambientais urbanos.

O grupo social mais violentamente vitimizado são as pessoas em situação de rua, aquelas que perderam o último lastro identitário, o do espaço pessoal, privado e íntimo.
