Just incredible framing here from an alleged news organization.

These are illegal immigrants. It's a plan to legalize their status, which clearly isn't primarily a budget topic despite Dems trying to pass it off as one and being rejected for the 3rd time in a year.
Back in September, Dems proposed including a path to citizenship under reconciliation. They were told it's not primarily a budgetary issue. Then they tried to include legal residency instead. Also rejected. And now they tried to do it as work permits/visas.
It’s also incredible that Dems are pushing this in the middle of a border crisis with a large increase in migrants without legitimate asylum claims coming here based on the belief that this administration will let them stay.
I mean…

As plenty of epidemiologists are pointing out in the replies, this is just wrong. We can take actions to shift when people get Covid-19 and how often, but overwhelming majority of people will get it at some point.
And honestly her feed is exactly the kind of stuff that has made people exhausted and feeling like some health officials want to trap us in this state forever.

The message being sent here is so backwards. Image
They are basically anti vaccine because they know people view vaccines as a path back to normalcy and they don’t want that option available. They view slightly less risk as worth the price of giving up activities they don’t care about. But they want that forced on everyone. Image

I forgot who it was, but some journalist last week suggested Biden is being hurt by things beyond his control Covid-19. Even on that topic, it's just false. The Biden admin is actively creating a problem with their approach.
They could change directions and policies to stop focusing on cases, promote the fact that vaccinated people are mostly safe from hospitalization and death, and that we should be returning to normal. They are choosing to instead promote fear and panic without a path to normality.
They should be shouting from the rooftops about early Omicron data showing it being relatively mild, but instead they are arguing over what extra restrictions we should add and mandates to enact.

This is all a choice.

Stop it.

McCullough is an insane conspiracy theorist that’s no different than a 9/11 truther or someone who believes the moon landing is fake. You can oppose excessive restrictions and government actions without promoting crazy people.
Anyone who recognizes how conspiracies theories work sees what is happening. People are rightly upset about the actions of those in power and these crazy grifters are taking advantage of them.
This is the guy they are talking about. This is no different than 9/11 truthers selectively using planning documents about planes crashing into buildings to claim US government instead of Al Qaeda was behind 9/11. Only here it’s Pharma and world governments instead of China.

That’s become the standard mode on every issue. Tax cuts were going to kill people, opposing the Green New Deal was going to kill people, voting laws that expanded voter access relative to all pre-pandemic elections were just like Jim Crow etc. etc.
And no one talks about the environment that this rhetoric creates and we don’t get any press lectures about how it could incite violence against political opponents. It’s just accepted as the norm at this point.
Ajit Pai faced racist harassment, threats to him and his family, and even a bomb threat due to the net neutrality hysteria:

Other threats were made against members of Congress:

Yes, because the biggest issue over the last year was teacher burnout. They definitely earned more breaks and there is no need to keep kids in school to make up for the enormous learning loss.

Enough.

Fund students, not systems.
Everyone has burnout from the pandemic. Most professions had to adjust to how they did business and deal with enormous strain. But no other profession had their unions insist and receive constant special treatment to the point where they actively harmed their customers.
Teachers' Unions spent all of 2020 fighting to keep schools closed while extorting concessions like insane funding levels and vaccine preferences. Those closures were not scientifically justifiable and did enormous harm to children. They didn't seem to care.

Implication here that education is underfunded is wrong. The amount we are spending on "education" over the next 5-10 years is obscene and indefensible. Shortage of supplies is purely based on waste and misallocation of funds.
Here is a comparison of how much countries spent per student on public education (K-12) in 2017. The US was already third. Then during the pandemic, we added the equivalent of another ~10K per active student to school budgets (purely based on teacher union lobbying)
And if you want to understand where the money is going, much like why college tuition rates skyrocketed while spending on actual teaching has stayed consistent, it's on administration costs. Number of administrators that drain the system has skyrocketed while adding little value.
