Japan Disney story is selling shirts, coffee cups, etc with Winnie the Pooh holding a blank piece of paper.

Biden say anything yet?

Why say anything? All three of our largest problems have significant civil unrest. This is a good thing. Don't fuck it up.

Realize how close the West came to this? Especially with the vaccine mandates?

Public health vs. Freedom.

The closest the west came to this was Trump flirting with the idea of quarantining NYC.

[Jolly]

Don't read much news from Australia?

[jon-nyc]

@Jolly I was thinking US only.

Because their vaccination rate is low, most who are vaccinated used the homemade version, alot of old people in the population, and somewhat poor healthcare, they are going to go from one extreme to the other in a very short while.

Ouch!!!
