***COVID cases, hospitalizations soaring in UK as DELTA wave builds***

Data showing 2 jabs = MUCH better than one:

806 patients w/Delta have been hospitalized -- more than doubling in a week

*527* were unvaccinated

*84 had received two doses
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
About 63% of UK's population has received 1 COVID vax shot and ~46% are fully vaccinated, per the Bloomberg Tracker.

All the data keeps pointing to GET. YOUR. SHOTS. - both of them!
bloomberg.com/graphics/covid…
You can do the math. Vast majority of people showing up in UK hospitals for COVID were not fully vaxxed, even though about half of the population is now fully vaxxed.
UK also has had a much more restricted vaccination effort vs. USA for younger people. That does leave a still-giant unvaccinated cohort for fast-spreading variants to exploit.

It’s the year 2061. What are the 3 biggest issues Congress is debating?
Nobody’s mentioned brain implant regulations
Or Manifest Destiny North, to where the water is.

The last time there was a major bipartisan budget package with major new revenue was ~30 years ago.
The odds are *always* against.
There have been 3 significant revenue increases in last 31 years - Bush deficit package, Clinton economic plan, ACA. +Fiscal cliff deal allowed some Bush and Obama tax cuts to stay expired.
Much easier for Congress to do what Congress has done, most of the time, for the past 20 years: vote for more tax cuts, more spending, more debt.

Happened just this week on the bipartisan competitiveness package - 72 votes to ignore paygo rules against increasing the deficit.

The pizzas have arrived in the Senate basement where the bipartisan gang of 10 senators are trying to hash out infrastructure Plan B after Capito talks failed.
This could mean a long night.

5 Pizzas from We The Pizza.
Nothing happens without the people sitting in this basement office eating We The Pizza.

You can’t do reconciliation without the 5 Dems.

Need an agreement plus at least 5 more Rs to reach any bipartisan deal.

Potentially trillions at stake.

Record 70% back gay marriage in Gallup, *including a majority of Republicans* for the first time.

55% of GOP back

Note for future: ***84%*** 18-34 year-olds

Remarkable change from '96, when just 27% supported, and 2005, when Bush led failed effort to ban in U.S. Constitution.
Link w/charts: news.gallup.com/poll/350486/re…
Conservatives in Congress including Mike Pence back in the day made stopping marriage equality a key plank —press conferences, floor speeches, press releases, bills filed and cosponsored.

It's been years I think since I've seen anyone in Congress even mention the issue.
