@lufins-dad said in With the exception of the baby...: @george-k said in With the exception of the baby...: @lufins-dad said in With the exception of the baby...: have their employers contacted and threatened. What??? Not like "we're going to slash your tires" more like "I wonder what would happen if we posted on your Facebook review page that you employee racists..." Just sayin': I can attest to all of this. I lived in Loudoun County, and because of that my email was found by a handful of groups and now I'm on their newsletters—both pro- and anti-CRT. I haven't unsubbed because the shit that's going on is like my own private epistolary novel. Modern 1984, except it's Woke Karen turning the screws instead of Big Brother. It'd be entertaining if it weren't so insane. I keep reading just to know exactly how bad things can get elsewhere.

So very many things to digest…

https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/taliban-afghanistan The Taliban, which has between fifty-eight thousand and one hundred thousand full-time fighters, is stronger now than at any point in the last twenty years. https://www.newsweek.com/which-countries-taking-afghan-refugees-which-arent-1623182 There are already 2.6 million Afghans refugees in the world—a figure that's sure to rise significantly as the U.S. and other allies race to complete an evacuation of the country by the looming August 31 deadline. 58,000 - 100,000 Taliban 2,600,000 Refugees pretty good leverage

Yes, when he said he was instructed, I think it got everyone's attention.

@jolly If this forum is representative, it's hate driven.

@mik said in Treatments Needed: But is there enough, can there possibly be enough, to use that nationally? I wonder. When Florida started, we had guys that were lined up, but had to wait a day or two because of product scarcity. And the treatment is most effective when done early.

And if you don't think the indoctrination is effective, watch the clip in this TNCR thread: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/11138/quick-kirk

I'd like to see the rest of the story. This just screams of something being hidden in the background.

@mik said in Kung-Fu Fighting: More like Kung Pao fighting.

@jolly Yeah, okay. A person would require a well-developed ethic to lie about small things and still worry about the consequences of lying about a big thing. I guess most people who lie about little things would not be overburdened with ethics.

This is a small hospital, but the lab does a lot of outreach biz. We've been blowing through 2 kits/day. And speaking of blowing through...I hate suits and clipboards. The CEO is showing some corporate guys around last week and is bragging on the CV2T (total COVID antibody) assay we do on the Dimension platform. One of the first twenty labs in America offering the test. Well, the darn things are hard to get. The corporate lizards were so impressed with the test, we did a dozen freebies. Full pop, that's $140/test. But what's worse, I've got just what's left in my on-board flex and then I have no tests left for patients. And with Ida coming in, even if we could get some ordered, they couldn't deliver them. Did I say I hate suits and clipboards?

@george-k said in How times have changed...: OK, I want to know how you came across that? You never struck me as being a Francophile. Yeah, but I'm a coonassophile. There's still radio stations down here with French language programs.

I am told there is money set aside for landlords, but I doubt it is sufficient. Should ask my barber, who owns several rental properties.
