At least Biden and the Dems supported the relief bill that led to you getting these checks, they have done something to justify them taking some credit.

That's a lot better than GOP Representatives and Senators who all voted against the relief bill and then turned around to take credit for the benefits provided by the relief bill.

So glad the dems are finally figuring this out after relying on golden showers and our President is a Russian agent.

So do we need to add military to our infrastructure plan?

Facebook announced that it will keep Trump’s Facebook account suspended for two years (the clock started on Jan.7, 2021), and at the end of the two years Facebook will engage experts to assess whether the Trump threat against public safety has receded enough to warrant reinstatement.

I hope they include diversity and inclusion experts in the committee who will decide this.

What might a city like NYC look like if left alone for that long?

Probably much the same as it looked in the 80's.

Classic Phibes reply 😉

Just decide what you need (or want). Lots of components to choose from.

I think you'll enjoy the build.

I’m getting one shortly...taking my daughter to day care. 🍩

@george-k He started feeling better almost exactly 24 hours after symptoms set in.

He is planning on reaching out to the College and asking if one shot combined with his prior case

Glad to hear he's feeling better already. If he was under the weather for only a day or two, maybe he'll be fine for a second round. I'm curious what he will hear from the college.

Clearly not a man comfortable with retirement.

Did it matter?

For most people, no.

I think more important factors were population density, testing availibility and access to medical care.

I would add to that:

compliance timing (in that I mean when things happened. I believe that NY was hit quite early (for whatever reason), so by the time any restrictions were in place, it was already too late).

We're Americans. It is our God-given right not to comply.

It always struck me that F. Lee Bailey's best client was F. Lee Bailey.

So both sides are bad, you say. Hm.

There is a long history of anti-Semitism on the right. And now, the left is also doing it. To claim otherwise would be foolish.

Thank you for that insight.

You stated something that was blindingly obvious. I replied with something equally blindingly obvious. I think we're pretty much equal.

I don't actually believe the left is anti-Semitic in general. But when viewed through their favorite lens, where all ideas are squinted at until bigotry is revealed, they're anti-Semitic.

This entire exercise is one of risk management. For some of us, the numbers are 1% vs .00005%. That's a huge difference. For others, the numbers might be .0003% vs .00005%. For teenagers, the numbers might be even lower.

Skimmed through it.

This guys skills compared to my skills are sorta like Andras Schiff compared to my skills.

I'm going to pour myself some more (cheap) Scotch.
