Just like robbing banks is a good way to make money. But we have rules against that. Being an efficient way of making money does not justify morally corrupt actions.

Free rides on the short bus.

Hi folks, I think this should be in the category of Unexpected Results: plaintiffs sued on behalf of all registered American voters and said the 2020 election involved a conspiracy between governors, secretaries of state, election officials, Dominion, Facebook and more Judge sanctions lawyers for bringing 2020 election conspiracy lawsuit - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen

I agree with that a thousand percent. Ain't nuthin' like a radial. The Harley-Davidson of airplanes.

Pretty much same experience here. The anti transmission measures do work, and it might actually be quite nice if people start wearing masks in crowded places over winter from now on. That said I'm not quite sure why Westerly is getting on his high horse about preventable flu deaths when is overall position is that we shouldn't bother doing anything except vaccinating to prevent deaths. I'd also note that in nearly 4 decades on earth without taking any anti virus precautions whatsoever I've caught the flu once, and in 18 months of Covid I've caught that once too despite everything. People are going to have to try really hard to convince me that current flu variants are remotely as transmissable or dangerous as Covid. Yeah, this is a bit of a sore point with me too. This time last year I started working with a 22 year old kidney transplantee. He was never going to grow old, but he was probably going to grow up, have a life, and have time to do the things most people want to do with their lives. A week before christmas his original disease starting affecting his new kidney and crocked his immune system, just before new year he caught Covid and by mid January he was dead. Some people wanting to score political points will apparently want to say he died of a rare genetic disorder, or he died of organ failure, but with those two things he'd most probably still be here now and his life expectancy would still be measured in years or decades, which is a pretty long time when you're 22. I really couldn't care less what other conditions people have that were making them unwell, if they'd have been here now without Covid then Covid killed them, and anyone trying to hide behind stats that argue otherwise needs to cut the bullshit and face reality.

That's intentional. Partisan polticical groups are fomenting and maintaining that confusion to give themselves a good wedge issue. Try this. Whenever anyone says "CRT" realize that they are saying one of two things: 1) If it comes from, say, FOX News or Matt Gaetz, it means "a way to indoctrinate children to hate white people, become racists and give black people lots of unearned money." 2) If it comes from someone in academia (say, someone who actually teaches or studies it) it means "a study of the structural biases in US law and society." Exactly. And knowing what those instances are, and how they arise, is better than being ignorant about them. Hence, CRT (and CLS.)

So what flies out of the reserve container and lays on the floor? Maybe if you dont pack your tools in the reserve tray it would open correctly. :)

And today conservatives learn about CRT from FOX News; a very similar situation. I agree! Too bad there isn't a way of critically studying the influence of race (and culture, and socioecononics, and inherited legal formalisms) on how society has evolved, eh? Perhaps because one is a study of the underpinnings of society and how it relates to race, and the other are a bunch of white supremacists who kill black people? If that's same-same to you - some of your posts here make a little more sense.
