Actually, he fixed a lot of Obama's gutting of it.

Man, $300,000 at the time the painting is finished, imagine what it would sell for today.

Actually, that's bullshit too.

Actually, all the bullshit is yours. But we actually know that already.

Lockdowns should be short and geographically targeted.

They are **not** the primary strategies.

Here are the strategies that must be implemented diligently and successfully, in order to allow people to get on with their lives, and prevent the need for us to stay at home for widespread ongoing lockdowns even if voluntary.

[Dauntless]

dang, it's a good thing you're not really concerned about the virus and are cynically using it to spread doom and gloom. So dang, THIS must upset you as much as you hoped your doom and gloom would upset others.

(Oh, the commercial from 1988 was used against him in 1992. I see it as the most powerful challenger commercial I've ever seen.)

thats awesome news, herd immunity by christmas

 

[john61ct]

psychopathic science-denying Flat-Earther poppycock

Herd immunity as policy is another word for mass murder. That is exactly what it is.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-54518286

It is absolutely a path that places a very low value on human life, and actively promotes the idea that it’s better for old people to die than to have corporations inconvenienced. 

If you allow this virus to surprise as they are advocating, we are looking at 2-to-6 million Americans dead. Not just this year, but every year. The reason for that is that there is no such thing as herd immunity.

The day after Trump’s ABC News town hall, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow ran the numbers on how herd immunity would play out in the United States, which has a population of roughly 330 million. If reaching herd immunity requires a minimum of 65% of people to be infected, as the World Health Organization’s chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, has said, that would mean 215 million cases of COVID-19 countrywide. If the US fatality rate remained what it is now—close to 3%—it would also mean 6,385,500 deaths.

______
Even if we **wanted** to sacrifice many millions of lives

It just cannot work as as a strategy without universal free vaccines delivered worldwide

Lots of people have now caught it multiple times, often much worse effects or fatal in the later infections

Will not be Herd immunity with Covid-19, but we are gaining on the front with tRUMP.

Keep working and donating as if we're 10% behind.

A big flip of the Senate is required for any real changes.

DC and PR as the next two states, then expanding the SCOTUS seat #s

And state-level is critical too, reverse all the voter suppression and gerrymandering of districts.

Universal mail voting and early voting, making election day a national holiday

Fulfill his prophecy "you'll never see a Republican elected in this country again".

And finally, we can get taco trucks on every corner!

 

[goatman]

there has to be something in the Tacos dumbing down Americans.

 

[ZeroEm]

The most obvious example of how Americans have been dumbed down is through this nation’s failed public education system. At one time not that long ago America reigned supreme as a leading model for the rest of the world providing the best quality free public K-12 education system on the planet. But over the last many decades while much of the rest of the world has been passing us by, it seems an insidious federal agenda has been implemented to condition and brainwash a population of mindless, robotic citizenry that simply does what it’s told, and of course the brainwashing commences early in America’s schools.

Taco's are to healthy
there has to be something in the McDonalds food dumbing down Americans.

 

[LeftieBiker]

The dumbing down of our educational system isn't about producing sheep. It's about individual congresscreatures and senators getting paid large amounts by lobbyists to implement a system based on private companies selling the government the tools of education, and since the easiest tools to produce and package are tests, we have gone from a system that teaches rational thought and backs it with testing, to a system that uses testing pretty much by itself. The vermin who passed the laws to implement this got rich, the vermin who produce it got richer, and we got...Millennials.

 

[markz]

Ontario and Quebec still have increased rates. Can't pinpoint their problem, might be a communication issue since its a melting pot of various cultures and religions and languages.

Well, duh, if they knew it was 20% they'd give up.

There are so many unlicensed taco trucks, major source of food poisoning. But if you'd like to go to one of the festivals where the food stands have been caught making their own cheese in their own bathtub. . . .
