I experienced the commodities program back in 72, a friend's family I was staying with in Poplar Bluff, MO. It was fantastic. We hitchhiked up to the Bull Island festival. No money or mind altering substances, but we had something better - shelf stable food - to trade.

You’re absolutely right. My bad.

Not a valuable reply but damn if it isn’t cool to watch the science and tech community swarm this issue.

I wonder if it’s related to the case of the Mondays?

Sorry not sorry.

I’d be lying if I said it never happened to me.

To say nothing of the dog.

I had one of those 7oz diet coke cans.

Great!

This is the year I have to renew my Green Card.

Her inner mom radar was working overtime. Good for her and the kids. 🙂

@LuFins-Dad said in To Address a Problem:

@Jolly I'm thinking about buying 1/4 of a cow and 1/4 pig from a farmer friend and a decent freezer from Walmart.

You may pay a little more, but you'll have better tasting meat, especially the pork. 1/4 not is not a bunch of pork, especially if you are making a bit of patty sausage.

Just make sure your freezer is big enough...

@Aqua-Letifer said in 6 Dem Governors:

Absolutely, but I know it's not. At all. A shitload of employees, managers, and business owners either think this is a silly liberal conspiracy, or they're so ignorant that they actually think they can control normalcy.

No matter how they do this, many people are going to get sick and die from completely avoidable stupidity. I really hope we try to mitigate that.

That's why I thought it interesting the first bunch that are making plans are all Dems, all NE.

Because we're talking about decisions that will greatly inform the extent of the next months' body count I honestly don't give a fuck. I'm concerned either way.

I've watched that guy's videos. He knows of what he speaks.

I've seen some of his stuff in Quillette.

What was the status before the construction began under Trump?

@jon-nyc said in The WHO knew.:

Only Mike DeWine has knocked this out of the park.

WHO was too busy fellating China. CDC was protecting its turf. FDA was being the FDA. The administration didn’t take it seriously enough. Cuomo and DeBlasio were afraid to close schools. You could watch them struggle through the stages of grief over this.

And so here we are.

In other words, people were busy being people.
