The people in Gaza survived a lot better than I predicted ; but I think the mortality from all causes is huge, under reported and still minimized.

Yes ! Indeed

I do warm up exercises; especially before I make tea , or brush my teeth, or sneeze.

I was just joking also, the only reason I did not put the sarcasm tag was I had an iOS keyboard. Still not sure where that button is, someone said it’s next to the “any” key.

I don’t understand, how can the turtle do this? Is it because the elephants are dancing? Won’t they fall off??!

Unless more democratic leaders actually try to build grassroots, stuff like this is not very helpful. Because few have any clue how to do that, structures to rely on, support, or plans.

Unless any democratic leader offers a plan to make the red and purple states follow international guidelines for voting. All of this is just hot air.

So, doubly damned. And that not even getting into issues that would be very important were this a normal democracy. These issues don’t count now, which is the only reason efforts like this are not triply damned.

I used to see many people socializing outside: adults and kids. Now, 4 decades later I only see kids under 12 hang outside. I noticed people from Europe coming here expressing surprise of streets empty of pedestrians.

At the same time, I witnessed less places and businesses where people can be together, less attendance at both bars, school sports and churches - and the decline of local politics, grassroots and community activism.

I can’t help but think all these are related to what you say here

And they will get away with it if the majority of people still find themselves unable to act years from now.

In this county, politics as normal has failed and cannot be redeemed at all. Something new has to happen; what I don’t know, a missing ingredient.

Maybe I’m going on a rant today; but a big problem too is that many of his critics still somewhat normalize him, because of his office and unconscious respect given to that.

I understand his followers and the billionaire controlled press do pretend this is all too sane and normal. And they have their reasons for that.

But to treat him as anything else but a dangerous, perhaps lethal, clown is a horrible mistake that maybe cannot be undone later.

People often speak of former governments being supported by those who obey authority too much; and this is yet another example, even by many of the critics of such governance. Who will still legitimatize this in some way. No good will happen is such criticism does not change

Not only economists, but everyone with awareness who uses logical thinking.

Such headlines irritate me because it still offers a modicum of validity to crazy, upon casual reading.

“Environmentalist disapprove of spraying cyanide on crops” would be a more obvious example.

I have the opinion the best quality chair one can find is as important as the best computer one can use

Utterly expected.. in hindsight. It’s not like the goons have many alternatives

Gators are wonderful and loving pets

The decline and fall of the micetern empire.

My personal theory is catish barbarians, being allowed to settle in the same area

• Ranked choice voting
• count ballots like the other democracies
• profit

All of this, and I literally mean the entire drama over the last decades, would have been avoided.

But it’s very hard to do this in the USA; and may never happen enough to matter. But these two issues are much more important than most other things talked about

No central point there

Called it

Fair point
