the watcher

Agreed, but it is difficult for many to escape the trap. On the flip side, there are also those who have every advantage, yet still live and end their lives in tragedy.

It is very difficult for us "normies" to understand the mindset created by centuries of poverty, abuse and neglect. One one occasion, I had to interview a black male who had grown up in south Chicago and was facing serious charges. At one point, I asked him what his reaction was to what he was accused of (and had admittedly done). His reply still sends chills up my spine: "I don't care if I live or die, so imagine how little I care if you or anyone else dies".

What a waste of a life. 

Under the O ( for old man )  63 .........Bingo !!!    Booked in for Sunday !

On  Manitoba' s rollout : I've been keeping a close watch. We are any where from 5 to 10,000 a day.  Which I don't believe ( using advanced mathamatics) is close to promised 20,000.  They need to fix it and fix it fast. 

Interesting that it was reported recently that a independent study found  that Manitoba had one of the best vaccine rollouts in Canada. It was reported in several news outlets. Bartley Kives questioning at the press conferences  borders on ignorant and belligerent.  And repeatedly when called on for his turn there is dead air which has happened enough that I suspect he walks away from his computer and isn't there when called upon. One of the worst reporter's in Winnipeg in my opinion.

It was a report done by Global. BUT it was done March 20. It appears things are changing and Manitoba as slipped since but here is their report.

I don't think its fair to put all the blame on Harper. I think Trudeau deserves blame for not building the capacity to manufacture vaccines in this country and for wasting time striking a deal with a State owned Chinese company and being later ordering than many other nations. Harper deserves blame for not building manufactering capacity and for the companies that scaled back or left during his tenure. Chretien deserves blame for lowering the amount of time that new drugs are under patent in Canada, making it less than many other nations which drives away these companies and Mulroney deserves blame for the privtiziation which took place in the late 80s which led to among other Connaught Laboratories being privatized. Its an issue going back over three decades that multiple PMs and both major parties deserve blame for.

but Digby likes him so...
"He’s very good at this and I suspect they’re going to have him out there a LOT to sell this infrastructure bill. Let’s hope so, anyway. Some people just have a gift for that sort of thing and he’s one of them. 
This AP profile today is obviously a beat sweetener but the fact is that Buttigieg has shown himself, so far, to be an effective team player even as his ambition emanates from him in waves. It will be interesting to see him at work."
 
 

Buttigieg is one of the brightest lights in the Democratic party and ought to be a contender for the presidency in time.

Damn, Pete's so good at taking apart these bad faith gotcha GOP talking points...
 

I can't imagine it ever getting to this, but what an awful Sophie's Choice. I want NO PART of merging with another league. 

I'll finish your sentence: ...the league is likely dead. 
Which is why there's no way the season gets canceled. Somehow, some way......they'll find a way to play this year. At some point.

There's " I'm sorry " and there's " I'm sorry I got caught "  I put all of these into the latter.

I had no idea internment camps and hotels were synonymous terms... **** Carlson. What a dogwhistling pile of dog crap.

Nice summary of how the US political system is broken.

A little bit more back story to who #pizzagaetz is

"Gaetz probed"

Day after day mass shootings, government under fire, who is their right mind would want to live in the United States atm.

In answer to your question - Exhibit A:

In yesterday's episode of "Fox, Manufacturing Outrage: Culture War Edition"...
 
 
 
Love the fact the weather guy had to correct Hegseth in such a "Matter of Fact" way.
