good question

But if the govt is going to hold the CDC as the standard, then why should the feds in NYC go above that?

I like to eat plant forward even though we still eat meat a couple tumes a week. My main objection to "synthetic meats" is that, in my area at least, there's little cost savings vs "real meats."

One of the selling points for veg meat substitutes is the "savings" of meat production and processing (and the reduced environmental "costs") but that doesn't yet seem to be reflected in the pricing of the product itself.

Probably not

ETA Here's an article about it.

Right. So why go beyond what the CDC recommends? What authority?

The CDC says two layers and the styles shown are type many people already have.

Double layers <> double masks

Wow. I could have sworn the CDC said double layered which most of the surgical style masks are. A gaiter or bandana may not be.

A month or so after they defunded the police I remember readin an article describing how neighborhoods were having to block entrances and set up their own patrols to keep looters off their street.

What a dystopian hell the Minniaplo8s Council unleashed.

Why would he oppose Lara Trump? From what I read about her in Doug Wead's book, she's very capable.

I'm sure. I just thought it was funny.

I was also reminded of dynamics in dysfunctional families where you see some of the same tactics.

More and more I'm convinced the way social media operates is unhealthy.

Outside of political contexts, concern trolls hassle the personal lives of individuals. Concern trolls are the types of people who, for example, try to coax otherwise healthy fat people into dieting, claiming it’s because they worry for their health. But in reality, it’s because the concern troll doesn’t like fat people. These people take it upon themselves to argue against something that might promote a person’s well-being, such as a gender-affirming transition, while citing statistics of regret among transitioning individuals to dissuade that person from taking action.

I'm not sure these are the best examples to use lol

The article says 2nd year med student but you're probably right.

Beyond privleged indeed.

How does a 24 yo qualify for vaccine in this point of the distribution? (ahead of teachers and essential workers?)

came here to say the same

lol

Good on hin. He didn't back down from her bullshit at all.

Yeah that doesn't occur spontaneously.

I've watched him on the Hoover Institute's YouTube and he rubs me the wrong way. He's the smartest guy in the room and he'll let you know.

Other fellows in that group don't come across the same way.

Oh Addison...

I only visit twitter to visit a tweet that's been posted here.

I'm a grown up. I can decide for myself whether or not to click thru. I dom't need anyone else to decide for me.

Thank you for your perspective and taking the time to research.

Navarro's study approach the issue from a different angle, namely voter rolls and mail in ballots.

I felt Navarro's work more than adequately showed enough irregularities without bringing in almost fantastical numbers of hackers.

ffs

Things must not be going as planned.

This article (from Time) talks about a man who was a member of Oath Keepers.

There was a discussion about it on the board a day or so ago and what I was thinking of when I wrote my post.

This is the outcome the House wants. IIRC, the notion was discussed last year about using a committee process to select candidates.

I'll update with a reference if I can find it.
