It's there a modern comparison?

Not in lifetime.
"Biden could have fulfilled the promises that he made during his campaign and set himself and his party up for a successful 2022. He could have ignored the hollow passions of Twitter and cable...and delivered the quiet, limited, competent leadership that he promised..."
"Instead? Well, instead he did precisely none of that. Instead, he ignored all evidence to the contrary and concluded that he was a world-historical figure. Instead, he began talking about “transforming” the country."
"Instead, he proposed the largest spending program in modern American history...Instead, he embraced every ridiculous neologism that progressives saw fit to throw at him: “Latinx,” “BIPOC,” “birthing person,” the lot."

Exactly. So:
1. Vax.
2. Personally decide what safety/mitigation measures would make you feel safe.
3. Vax.
4. If you feel sick, get tested, consider therapeutics quickly.
5. Get vaxxed.
6. Get vaxxed.
7. Get vaxxed.
This is right. Vaxxed or unvaxxed, we are all in this boat together. I want people to get vaccinated, surely.

But also...almost 10% of the public can't get the vaccine. We are never going to get over 90%...meaning 1/10 will remain unvaxxed.

We need to get on with our lives, protect the vulnerable as much as we can, but also realize that there is a cost with every measure we take, and some of those costs are extremely high...and not just in dollars and cents.

We really need to have a societal change on how we confront mental illness. This kid needed help.
detroitnews.com/story/news/loc… via @detroitnews
We can talk about 'gun control' all you want. But there are many people across the societal spectrum suffering from severe mental disease, and we are failing them.
- School shootings
- Drug epidemic
- Suicide epidemic
- Homelessness

All of these are PRIMARILY issues of psychiatric illness. They are all the same problem, and we keep trying to solve them in different ways.

WE ARE FAILING PEOPLE.

Every single media outlet that reports this story like this is INTENTIONALLY LYING TO YOU.

I don't know how else to say it.
I mean...here are THE FACTS.

"DeSantis wants to resurrect Florida State Guard, a WWII force disbanded in the late 1940s. Unlike the Florida National Guard, the FSG would answer solely to the Governor. No federal deployments. No federal missions. No federal dollars."

DeSantis wants about 200 members.

1. This is far less important than you think.
2. States like NY, NJ, MI, CT had massive NATURAL IMMUNITY building up all through early 2020...one of the big reasons they are doing better now. That isn't exactly ideal.
If you then add in seasonal variations, the coincidence that vaccines only came in early Spring of 2021 in wide availability skews the data even more.

I'll bet, once you get long term, you will see that most of these differences will washout.

Strange that we aren't hearing daily reports on how states in the North are failing on COVID, huh? Image
This is the map as of today... Image
Hospital admissions are trending upwards. Image

Last week I asked what would've happened if Rittenhouse had been Black.

People were reluctant to really answer; the biggest answer was "He would've been shot by police."

Except evidence shows that if FALSE.

See this story.

abc7chicago.com/chicago-shooti…
"A SWAT team responded after a man was killed...Police officers responding to a call about 10:30 a.m. saw four people get out of two cars and begin firing toward a house...People inside returned fire and hit one of the gunmen, police said."

chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/10/…
So, what happened? Did police shoot all the gunmen?

NOPE.

They arrested them. And then....

...the Prosecutor LET THEM GO.
