I'm sure they're all getting them from the same conservative sources.

Sadly not nearly enough.

Montreal smoked meat. 🙌
I love pastrami too but it's not nearly as good.

Did any of you who got boosted get much in the way of side effects?
Been thinking about getting a booster myself given everything even though it's theoretically unnecessary...

The funny part is people really did think Musk was cool until he started opening his mouth publicly.
His original PR folks must have been absolutely amazing.

He wants to be cool so bad.

Give this a shot? I was able to downgrade to a non-Copilot version by threatening to cancel.

Right? Fundamentally I view them as harm mitigation, only very occasionally good, and in any case they're humans who have wildly different incentives than the rest of us (including donation money from a wealthy demographic).
But they work for us & we should make noise when they're doing a bad job.

They're desperate to elevate any white dude with charisma.

That FEMA number. 👀
I know Americans hate helping others in any systemic way but yikes.

Also free COVID test delivery is handled right now by USPS, which is federal.
If it went to the states, every state & territory would have to revisit how to actually deliver the tests & build their own systems for taking & tracking orders. Not to mention storage.

In the early days of COVID, states were left to their own devices & ended up bidding *against* each other for supplies, driving up prices & reducing access.

Unlikely. I work with this exact problem, & it's almost always vastly more efficient & cost-effective if the federal gov handles this.
When things go to the states, every state/territory ends up reinventing their own wheel. So instead of one process/supply chain, you have over 50.

He's not just calling himself a king (already bad), he's literally acting like a king.
Stop normalizing everything he does and do your job. Hold him accountable.
Impeach him.
No president should get to call himself a king. Or act like one. Ever.

For folks wondering: Yes, it's real.

I mean, it definitely feels like a lot of people in power want Snowpiercer (minus the revolution that works - kind of - at the end)...

Clearly the solution is that we will all need to have excellent examples of both side by side to compare!

For real. They've been saying it out loud the entire time too.
When he overturned Roe, Thomas said outright that their rationale should overturn rights to contraception, same-sex relations, and same-sex marriage.
Alito in his younger days essentially argued that anti-miscegenation laws were fine.

French workers also have stronger protections - it's hard to fire them for striking. And when French workers lose their jobs, they still have healthcare that seems practically free from a US point of view.
And the French police aren't militarized like ours. Protesting there is literally safer.

In the US, marches are important, but our system strongly minimizes their impact - our politicians feel free to ignore the will of the people in favor of their donors.
In France, there's still the memory that not listening to the people can result in the aristocracy literally losing their heads.
