Couple of points:

• Wash regularly vs immediately
• Denatured alcohol vs soap and water
• A Subaru will actually get you where you want to go when you're driving in the snow.

Hundreds of thousands will still vote for him.

Questions it? The answer to that question has been thoroughly documented.

Wanna bet?

Still the lowest percentage. I hope they keep making gains!

They don't show on election day either. They have it within their grasp to change everything. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/voter-turnout-rate-by-age-usa

I'm not blaming as much as pointing out that the people most affected are the least likely to vote. They'd rather complain about "boomers" on social media

And it's not going to change until younger voters start showing up on election day.

Not surprising. I had some cousins in Florida who were taught in school that the south "technically" won the war. They never could quite explain it, but absolutely believed it.

They'll be supported by Linux

He was talking about covid in the context of engineered bioweapons. That the virus has been more severe with people of color can, and has been explained by racial inequity and access to care.

"The overrepresentation of African Americans among confirmed COVID-19 cases and number of deaths underscores the fact that the coronavirus pandemic, far from being an equalizer, is amplifying or even worsening existing social inequalities tied to race, class, and access to the health care system." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7762908/#:~:text=Approximately%2097.9%20out%20of%20every,Asians%20(40.4%20per%20100%2C000).

Sickle cell does not "target" blacks, it is genetically inherited trait. It affects blacks more often as it is thought to have evolved in sub-Saharan Africans as protection from malaria. https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/biology/index.html. So your statement isn't really a conspiracy, it's just uninformed.

RFK Jr is on video talking about bioweapons and in that context said that "There’s an argument that it is ethnically targeted..." https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews. People of color are affected by most diseases more that white people. This is not a new phenomenon and is related to racial disparities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8513546/. Also, the Chinese were hit as hard as everyone else.

RFK Jr has a history of promoting conspiracy theories. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2023/06/06/rfk-jr-makes-unfounded-claims-about-mass-shootings-covid-19-here-are-all-the-conspiracies-he-promotes/?sh=20e82d7e3acc

I'm not making up any reasons to dislike RFK Jr. I dislike him based on his own words and actions.

"is targeted to..." implies deliberate action, which is exactly the message he wanted to convey. It's just SSDD for this nutjob.

I just went back to Edge from Firefox. I've been a long-time user, but it seems like too many of the sites I use don't work properly and some not at all. It sucks because I've always preferred FF, but I gotta get sh*t done.

If you want a good chuckle, here are the states that they say have the best economies. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/13/these-10-states-are-running-americas-best-economies-for-residents.html

Included in the top 10 are:

• Florida
• Texas
• Tennessee
• South Carolina
• Indiana

Seems reasonable. Where do I put in my social security number and mother's maiden name?
