Meh. Lee was not particularly bad, it just was a very wide storm, and the areas that got hit are used to dealing with even stronger winter storms.
Yup. Global Warming is literally burning and flooding people to death, but political leaders and citizens are focussed on UFOs and aliens. Where are the hearings on how the oil industry knew this was happening and covered it up? If you are looking for a conspiracy to hide something huge from the world, that would be a good place to start.
Message sent. One of the cosponsors of this madness is one of my Senators. We need universal healthcare. Instead, we get a proposed universal tracking system for people to access the internet. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
I have used SanDisk cards for years, without issue. They are a huge manufacturer of flash memory, which is why their prices were always good. It is certainly possible and even probable that the quality has gone down. All kinds of companies lower their product’s quality and reliability to make them cheaper to increase profits.
I believe the phrase is:
“Lock him up! Lock him up!”
Seriously, put his ass in home confinement, slap on an ankle monitor and take away all of his electronics because he can’t behave himself.
This is why we are completely screwed if a bird flu or other highly transmissible but more deadly than Covid virus starts spreading. There are people who not only will not follow basic health and safety guidelines, they will actively fight, and sabotage other’s attempts at following the guidelines.
The other part of the equation is that if the wealthier countries had not only shut down but quickly provided vaccines for poorer more densely populated countries, the spread would also have been lessened.
I’m fine with Republicans attempting to impeach Biden. It will fire up the extremists on the right, but it will also fire up Democrats while turning off any moderate voters out there. It hurts republicans far more than it hurts Democrats, it makes them look like petulant children, and that should help persuade voters to push them out of power. If they are going to abuse the tools of power, which they will, I would rather have it happen with Biden, who is about as clean and boring as a politician gets, rather than having them going on a fishing expedition and finding something like Clinton.
That’s the point of the “culture war” that is currently manifesting as a war against “wokeness.” As long as conservatives are distracted into hating LGBTQ and minorities, the working class will be split and will not have the ability to fight against the people truly responsible for the mess we are in.
The indoctrination works exceeding well, too. I have a relative who voted for Al Gore because of his stance on the environment. Fast-forward to now, and she is posting things on Facebook supporting the overall Republican agenda (Not supporting Trump or DeSantis, but still very conservative.) Basically, a bunch of family stuff including prolonged illness and eventual deaths made her a much more unhappy person, and the right-wing propaganda is designed to pick up people like that and bring them into the machine.
