    The best thing about this for me is be to able to fly Etiad or emirates. Look like great airlines. Maybe I can fly somewhere via Abu Dhabi and skip quarantine.

    @George-K said in The Proposals: Reciprocity across state lines is an idea whose time should have come decades ago. If, as a gas passer licensed in Illinois, I wanted to practice elsewhere, I should be able to. That makes very good sense. If you were talking about licensing in Democratic Republic of Congo and the US, of course, a doctor should have to take a new test. But from one US state to another??????, does not make sense.

    Of all the people who've played Fortnight, some have died. I think Apple is making the right decision to remove that game from its devices.

    @Aqua-Letifer said in Trump is the reason: @Jolly said in Trump is the reason: Trump made mistakes. So the theory here is that Trump made mistakes, but those mistakes had absolutely no negative impact on the economy, none of any kind? I wouldn't say zero mistakes vis-a-vis the economy. But I think if anything, Trump made his mistakes trying to keep the economy going as much as possible. As for the medical stuff, there are still experts disagreeing on aspects of how we handle COVID. I'm like Larry in one aspect...I think Trump changed messages depending on what he was hearing at the time, at least for the most part.

    Interesting website @George-K Fun to look through it. I was surprise to see Senator McConnell or Senator Paul rank so "low"

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/13/cdc-mental-health-pandemic-394832 CDC: One quarter of young adults contemplated suicide during pandemic One in four young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 say they've considered suicide in the past month because of the pandemic, according to new CDC data that paints a bleak picture of the nation's mental health during the crisis. The data also flags a surge of anxiety and substance abuse, with more than 40 percent of those surveyed saying they experienced a mental or behavioral health condition connected to the Covid-19 emergency. The CDC study analyzed 5,412 survey respondents between June 24 and 30. The toll is falling heaviest on young adults, caregivers, essential workers and minorities. While 10.7 percent of respondents overall reported considering suicide in the previous 30 days, 25.5 percent of those between 18 to 24 reported doing so. Almost 31 percent of self-reported unpaid caregivers and 22 percent of essential workers also said they harbored such thoughts. Hispanic and Black respondents similarly were well above the average. Roughly 30.9 percent of respondents said they had symptoms of anxiety or depression. Roughly 26.3 respondents reported trauma and stress-related disorder because of the pandemic.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Great Britain and the virus: @Mik said in Great Britain and the virus: That article is utter bollocks. All it really says is things in England look pretty much like they do in the US. I think that it's fair to say that while Boris has been described as the British Trump, it's also very clear that Trump is an American johnson. Phallic envy?
