Re: Charts

 

Don't know yet.? Going to put together a list of criteria and put it on the list of projects to start researching.? I may have to convince one of my children to emigrate first; if I wait 10 years, I'll be pretty old.? I keep forgetting how old I am!? If I sell the house in the next 5 years, I would have enough to spend a good amount of time as a nomad, checking out different locales.? Who knows though, it's hard to plan for the future.??

Look at what the testing requirements were from FEMA.? Like we want tRump's government to be in charge of anything!? They were placed to take down government, not operate it.? They thrive on inefficiency and incompetence.??

The Federal Emergency Management Agency required photo identification, health insurance information, phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses for every patient tested, according to a letter the agency sent to the county that was obtained by The Washington Post. The agency also ordered county officials to ship the kits to labs with CDC contracts on the East Coast, which would yield results in as long as a week. - WaPo

Now that's funny! The moderator of The Corner is a high school dropout that worked as a baker for two years at a yogic flying school; one guy spent twenty years in a mind control cult trying to learn how to levitate; and the other guy once lived inside a TM Center for ten years until he got kicked for not paying his rent. Go figure.

I don't think this is quite right.? There were numerous tribes that settled across the US.? They didn't think of themselves as nine nations; those boundaries based on geography were imposed on them by the white man, I do believe.??

Well, as long as California goes with us, sea level rise doesn't require massive migration inland, and there are no major tectonic plate shifts, we might be alright.? Except for one tiny thing.? Catalonia tried to secede from Spain - no luck.? The Kurds wanted, and frankly deserve, an independent Kurdistan, but that won't likely happen in our lifetimes.? The Palestinians aren't faring too well either.? ?South Sudan succeeded, but look what that took.?

Those guys don't know anything about conspiracy theories.? They only know the log lines.? Conspiracy theories and theorists may have well quelled many a conspiracy with the conspirators in fear of being found out.? That is a reasonable assumption.

They also seem to lazy to even read some good political science.? They also like to pose as experts on science though there is no evidence that they know much science at all.? It's all about their image hence egos.

BTW, I used to know Kevin Kelly back in the 1990s.

Good Idea

 

In order to boost ratings for the sick comedy that pass for Coronavirus WH briefings, Pence banned medical experts from appearing on CNN while the briefings were going on. That's priorities for you. Make us watch some bumbling fool instead of giving us real medical experts on a different channel. Makes a lot of sense. Just like re-opening the country to 'regular business as usual' too early. All that is going to do is prolong this thing and kill more people even while the economy continues to suffer.?

You can see it?: Vice-President Mike Pence wants to appease the president. And what better way than to provide an opportunity to boost Trump’s TV ratings, a??distraction of his in times of?. According to CNN, Pence’s office has been??top public-health officials from appearing on its shows “in an attempt to pressure the network into carrying the White House’s lengthy daily briefings in full.”

Responsible for TV booking during the pandemic, Pence’s office has reportedly limited the availability of public-health officials, so that most of the opportunities are available only to experts like Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci. There’s a quid pro quo in the exchange as well: Fauci and Birx may appear on the network if it agrees to televise White House Coronavirus Task Force pressers. While CNN has broadcast Trump’s Q&A sections, they often cut away when other administration officials speak in order to test the president’s claims against reality. Over the last week, Pence’s office has declined to make the pair available to CNN, telling the network that “When you guys cover the briefings with the health officials then you can expect them back on your air.” But shortly after CNN published its report, the network??that “Mike Pence’s office reversed course on Thursday afternoon” and will allow two health officials to appear on the station later this week.

While a more traditional administration with a??relationship with the media would want to ensure the largest audience possible for messages of public health — the??in tamping down the spread of the coronavirus to date — the Trump administration wants to ensure the president can relive the rush of attention from his reality-TV career.
