They are interesting and harmless. Crazy, but harmless.
They're fine, provided they are peaceful.
I'd buy this. Even if nothing they say is true, they thing every single thing they say is the absolute truth.
I consider them deluded, or at very least lacking in hard evidence, but that is a damned sight better than looking me in the eye and intentionally lying like CNN or Fox.
We need to start militias, wait six months, then immediately rebrand them as dating services for people looking to get dates with (possible) FBI agents. That has to be a fetish, and we should profit from it.
My guess is there was nothing to inform on, so they burned him instead to spread paranoia.
Ah, right, because Europe is a vast continent with a rich cultural history but Africa is one tiny little country with a single culture.
Somehow though we're the racists. 🤡🌎
My wife is a special education teacher up in WA.
She's fine with reopening. She's fine with doing what needs to be done to if they don't reopen. She's strongly opposed to any "compromise" reopening plan that involves sending only some kids back to school.
For her at least, the teaching from home has been more work than teaching in person ever was. She spends all day on zoom with small groups of kids, then has to do more prep than usual and occasionally drive around to various homes to drop things off. None of the time that is normally built into her day for prep is there anymore, that all happens on weekends now.
Going "back to work" would be a relief.
The issue here is they propose to send maybe 25% of kids back. She'd be back in a classroom all day supervising that group. They won't be allowed to interact with each other, will be required to maintain diatance, required to stay masked, and the teachers have to enforce all of that -- but still be expected to do everything currently happening for the kids at home.
A few of the proposed plans have indeed been to send the "disadvantaged" kids back first -- which basically means minorities go to school and white kids stay home. I haven't seen the teachers here play the race card, but we've certainly joked that pointing out that the district is exposing all the minorities to Covid might be a valid way to fight it.
Basically, from at least one teachers' perspective, reopen or not -- but they need to make up their minds. None of this half measure bullshit to try and please everyone.
It wasn't us, it was Antifa. Be grateful for that and learn or lesson, or next time it will be us.
Insurance cannot compensate for the indignity of mere plebians being allowed to bleed on the Sacred Carpets in our Temple of Democracy.
I saw congress critters cowering under desks looking like they might understand who is really in charge for the first time in their careers.
I was the opposite of horrified.
The only thing horrifying is that we didn't go far enough, and the lesson seems not to have stuck.
You mean Vice Prostitute Harris?
The vast majority of us did.
The idea that the classes matter is a common misconception. You are at a college to purchase a degree. If you want a good education, visit a library.
Do it on your own time though. No employer gives a flying fuck what you know, they want that piece of paper.
This seems like it might be more environmental. Conservatives in many areas and professions have to understand liberals so that they can "pass" as one to pay the bills. The reverse is generally not true.
Liberal: You are denying his identity because you are a racist.
If they want equity they should try paying down their mortgages like normal people.
Shouldn't they be chanting about deaths mattering? They have yet to protest about anyone that still has a pulse.
Yeah, they do that with words sometimes. I think "racist" is the bias you assigned at birth (for example, due to having white skin, or increasingly having an Asian lineage), while "bigot" is the type of discrimination you currently identify with mentally, and is independent of whether you have undergone bias reassignment surgery or taken soy hormones.
The leftists would call them out too. I think per the latest style guides you capitalize "black", but not "white". Capitalizing "black" correctly recognizes a shared cultural identity, where as capitalizing "white" would be totally wrong because it would recognize a shared cultural identity.
The AP has so far been silent on whether you capitalize either or both of "clown" and "world".
I always just assumed that China was full of shit about having gotten control.
Maybe she just has crippling agoraphobia and this is her chance to shine.
They got my attention the day they shut down Wuhan. Locking a city bigger than new york down tight, while claiming everything is under control... it was pretty sus.
It could have been better if the government hadn't made everything a (pseudo) legal mandate. They have experts at the CDC who could have helped the public understand the available information, maybe make best practice suggestions to business, but that is where the federal government's role should have ended.
People would have taken precautions to start with, and balanced them intelligently against new data as it became available, and done proper cost benefit for their own lives. Instead we get idiotic government mandates to follow suspiciously specific recommendations.
I did the same, and eventually stopped doing the same. It's easy to forget that, based on the best information at the time this looked like a real threat, and the same traits that lead us to question the "need to lockdown" narrative now would lead to questioning "it's just the flu don't be racist" then.
To be fair, DC was the least free and open of all American cities even before all this. There is a reason terrorist almost always go elsewhere -- if you nuke DC most Americans won't be sure which side you are on.
