Sure, if the virus had a lot more lethality. But it became pretty obvious fairly early on that the virus posed fairly low risk to the younger 2/3 of the population. The most rational solution would have been to advise people over 55 or 60 (or with co-morbidities like diabetes) to consider working from home and self-isolating while letting everybody else go about their business. The virus would run its course through the younger population and we could concurrently work towards a vaccine and develop treatments.

Here’s an anecdotal example of the level of stupidity we’re dealing with coming from supposedly smart people. UNC - Chapel Hill recently sent home all their incoming students when 700 or so tested positive on arrival on campus. So they sent 700 kids with coronavirus back out to their hometowns to infect others, many of whom might be older and vulnerable. We all know these kids are not going to stay quarantined in their homes — college-aged kids don’t act this way. They could have just kept them on campus, where the virus could spread around the younger students who were at low risk. By Thanksgiving, the virus could have run through the UNC student body with very little impact (allowing them to develop antibody and T-cell immunity to it) and it would have been done. Instead they turned the students into vectors to spread the disease.

Yea, the cone attacker was one punch in the nose from begging for her life.

I'm sorry man, but everything you just listed comes back to slavery. Yes, southerners were defending their way of life from northern states who were trying to change their historic traditions. What were they defending and what was the north trying to change? Slavery. The nation had these repeated political conflagrations every time a new state was added and the compromise was always "add one free state and add one slave state." The straw that broke the camel's back was the election of Lincoln. Why did the South secede the minute Abraham Lincoln was elected? Because the Republican Party was the new upstart abolitionist party. They were quite unyielding and determined in their opposition to slavery. The South did not think they could be bargained with. The handwriting was on the wall at that point that slavery was not long for this world if the South remained in the union. Losing slavery meant the entire southern economy and southern way of living would have to change. The Civil War was fought over slavery.

What was the original issue the war was fought over?

don’t know

A Cuban ex-pat businessman, I believe.

Nah, she’s just climbing the political ladder. She’s an establishment GOPer.

She is establishment 100%. She’d get along very well with Mitt and Jeb.

Different rules for the “good guys”

I’d guess Comey agreed to the interview on the condition that he not be asked about it.

This was the most powerful speech of the night.

The body-less head saying “C’mon man” is great.

She is very establishment, this is true.

And Kamala is only 1/2 Indian. But she’s black.

If these guys invested half as much effort into their homework they wouldn’t need to rob banks.

But this one goes to 11.

Well, ok, if you have other sites to rent from that’s fine. But staying at a resort is much more expensive.

I guess I would not necessarily recommend it for business travelers who are having the cost reimbursed by their employers anyway, but Airbnb and VRBO offer tremendous savings to people — particularly large families — looking to find a place to stay on vacation. If you have, say 6 people, you can save tons of money as compared to renting 3 hotel rooms in a resort, plus have a kitchen and a place to park your car. If you do your diligence, you can get some homes in some pretty fantastic locales too.

The guys sits to try and show the camera his “good side.”. When he faces forward his nose is sideways. Probably one of the guys he bailed out thanked him with a left hook.

almost all women too

Except the people posting this stuff aren’t actually doing anything. They’re trying to get you to do something. Be smart, not radicalized for someone else’s agenda.

I wish they would include that video of him lying his ass off at a campaign event early in his career and then the news methodically explaining that literally everything he said was a bald faced lie.

This is fake — come on and do some searching before posting stuff like this.

I question your characterization of the pre-Israel period as there being a “Palestine” that belonged to “Palestinians” that a group of Jews just took from them. It’s a bit more complex than that. So let’s take your facts as you present them. How do you propose to achieve peace? What’s the stable end state you’re aiming for that is practical?
