  1. Politico, how many have the time and attention span to read long, informative nuanced articles? 3-5% of the country, maybe 10-20% if being charitable, but the majority of that group probably are already vaccinated. I guess the next argument will be that the Emergency Use authorization and lawsuit protections don’t expire until at least next year…the belief from skeptics everything was rushed and that we’re all essentially human guinea pigs for Big Pharma. This will be the case especially if boosters for variants or third shots start getting required. But yeah, as a teacher we just go along with all those tests for measles, mumps/rubella…nobody is fighting those in an organized way, right? In fact, a student here in China just had TB last semester, they just informed us over the last week or so we had to get a chest X-ray and another test so specialized that only two hospitals in Wuhan have it, and those are being used only for treating Covid patients (for some reason they allowed a plane with 30+ cases in from Afghanistan) so I can’t get that skin reaction test but still a pain. But you have to provide proof or no teaching job.
  2. And that will be the case unless/until it gets back down to 3-4 GB.
  3. Clase is so frustrating with his stuff. Going to have to switch back to Karinchak.
  4. Having a hard time those Whitewater/Vince Foster conspiracy followers would have gone anti-vaxx because Newt Gingrich and Dole at least respected science and intellectual expertise.
  5. Sure, I alway read articles from Real Clear Politics. But then the site ownership took a dramatic rightward turn and so did the origin of 90% of the articles. I don’t think having just Juan Williams because he’s a minority is exactly a representative sample of both sides. Kind of like the old McLaughlin Group where they had one wishy washy liberal.
  6. Is it anti-vaxxers or just anti-government/libertarians? At any rate, there should be a chyron on the screen whenever someone’s talking that shows their personal vaccine status (or explanation, like Rand Paul saying he can’t get it or spread it since he was already infected once, which every credible scientist in the world will disagree about the accuracy of such a belief.) Otherwise, it’s just hypocrisy to say one thing for political reasons and do the opposite personally…unless we’re going to take away public health rights from an entire community to protect individual/privacy rights. The argument has already commenced with the fight over vaccine passports. (But then that doesn’t exactly square with trying to take away right to choose for women, does it? They are either both or neither related to the right to privacy, especially in situations where careless actions can actually KILL multiple others.
  7. But which are middle of the road media sources? Time, Newsweek and US News & World Report, previously? Christian Science Monitor? Wall Street Journal, with editorial leaning to the right? Al Jazeera? Watching Chinese Global TV Network?
  8. Also, aren’t Fox and OAN and all those networks dramatically up in ratings vis a vis CNN and MSNBC ever since Biden’s inauguration? If more than half of America is not working already (not greatly affecting ratings one way or the other since Fox viewers are the most loyal), how is CNN possibly going to influence overriding the governors of red states and force all of them to stay at home? They might have to wear masks or work from home, but there’s probably a stronger correlation between Trump being in office compared to stay at home orders benefitting CNN or MSNBC ratings.
  9. But are these jerseys at least more comfortable? Wasn’t Sale bothered by the material or lack of give/strechiness?
  10. Indians came back, take 4-3 lead to 8th in Oakland. Shaw struck out Moreland and Murphy with the bases loaded. Zimmer go ahead homer, first of year.
  11. As it stands, you’re benching Giolito for Kopech? Because only need three for first series.
  12. Just have to ride Burr while he’s not but can’t expect it to continue….see Marshall, Evan.
  13. The bar was set too high last October. Right now, he’s closer to Thornton or Marte but the versions where you don’t feel 100% confident like you did earlier in their Sox careers.
  14. Seems Bieber might be at least a month away…if CLE is 12+ back then, they probably shut him down for the rest of the season.
  15. We really want to instigate this debate when everyone’s in a sour mood?
  16. We already used Heuer and he struggled, too.
  17. And Crochet has been somewhere between pretty good and really good but rarely 100% dominant.
  18. Who else do you go to there? Lopez? Crochet? Kopech? Isn’t Michael starting Monday?
  19. Simple, get back three of their best players at close to 100%.
  20. They’re not going to convert Story to second base in the middle of a pennant race.
  21. White Sox without Jimenez, Grandal and Robert are just not a match. Of course, Houston without Bregman, too.
  22. Another Leury run. At least we’re booking lots of revenue with nearly 35,000. Always play like crap in front of big home crowds…Astros starting to get in the heads of Sox. 35-9 vs. bad teams 19-24 against the rest of field 0-5 vs. Houston
