It sure would be a terrible thing if a bunch of lucrative middle class wage earning jobs with a pension system and excellent benefits opened up to vaccinated Americans. It’d also be :discoursechef: to see a bunch of antivax idiots lose their retirements because they are selfish assholes who can’t follow simple instructions.

This isn't a thing anymore, the boomers in the post office union pulled the ladder up behind them 20 years ago just like in every other union job left.

He's started ordering upgrades. There's 10kw of 48v LiFePO4 batteries coming in february, a Growatt inverter/controller locally, and panels are cheap compared to a decade ago. Power will be fixed for him this spring, and I'll pay to add another 10kw of storage before I break ground.

I probably won't break ground until summer '23, since I'll be building from savings and no one will want to insure my hempcrete house of doom anyhow. This year's priorities for me are land, earthworks for driveway and homesite, septic install and batteries. Next year will be lumber, a 40 foot container of hemp hurds, and a shitload of lime.

He totally is baiting Trump into doing/saying something stupid.

Also, did anyone else feel that speech should be better? Was it just me? Was it the delivery? It just felt...flat. The right words were said, but it just didn't "feel" like a good speech.

Maybe we should go ahead and fence off Florida now, while we can. Let people come and go, but when a world ending superbug is bred there, we need to have gates in place we can lock. And I wouldn't put it past a place like Gainseville to accidentally create a species ending virus that's equal parts covid and budweiser.

We can sell it as protection for florida, as opposed to protection from florida. DeSantis would probably have his own special national guard out there to help.

Sorry floridians, we can't risk the spread later. Get out now, or at least before the glaciers melt.

Trump was supposed to give a speech today but apparently called it off a few days ago.

Mara Liasson apparently said Biden was on "a fool's errand" to change the political landscape. I haven't heard the speech yet, but for a senior NPR person to say that is pretty damning and not with faint praise.

So we lack a term for people who are at first willfully ignorant but then turns into genuine ignorance, right?

It’s one thing to take a political stand but acknowledge reality (and get the shot. See: everyone at Fox News). It’s another to go from that early position to just believing the falsehood to be true.

Even death cultists at least acknowledge they are worshipping death.

And in many places, they're also a source of clean clothes, a source of take home food for the family, a source of social service navigation (especially for non English speaking families), and even a source of Healthcare.

A lot of the nonprofit safety net is accessible from schools, and maybe little Lynklyyn's mom can do her CPA job at home and help her learn, but there are millions of kids for whom that is not an option.

Extreme example:
I work with a youth organization that is in a lovely hood in a Midwestern city that is largely low income and immigrant/refugee. They started because kids had nowhere to go after school and since its tough for a Somali Muslim girl to just pop over to the after school program at the library, and mom and/or dad are working second and third shift trying to get by. So the kids are in gangs, selling drugs, selling themselves, and generally hosed up.

The year this org starts, there are 17 youth homicides in the neighborhood. The organization is massively successful, gets a bunch of kids involved, etc. In 2019, there were zero youth homicides.

Then covid hits and the state shuts down in 2020. The kids once again have nowhere to go, because schools are shut down, and the org is shut down.

In the less than 3 months the program was shut down, two of its kids are shot dead in two different incidents because they were back on the streets.

So yeah, for white liberals in Cambridge and Shaker Heights and Santa Monica "SHUT EM DOWN" makes sense. But for the kids in Dorchester, Cleveland, and Compton, its a loving disaster that we already saw play out once.

School closings right now are basically a clusterfuck of discussion because everyone's more or less using talking points 9-12 months old and everyone's kinda right/wrong.

School closings suck and remote learning is garbage. Teachers don't want to get sick and are also out due to *getting* sick. Parents are hosed with all of this, ultrafucked if they're in the groups that stealie72 mentioned. Media/politicians have basically resorted to union-bashing as they take media hits from their homes.

Back in college, I was taught that only 30% of what the school controls contributes to a student's educational success. The rest of the 70% is all out of the school's control - do they have a place to sleep, are they getting food, do they get medical treatment, do they have to work just to keep the family afloat, do the parents help, and so on.

Woof.
