Why are liberals who claim to support POC and women always so quick to launch racist and misogynistic attacks against POC and women who are republicans?

Just cautioning against believing everything you read on the internet. Entirely possible Weatherby was involved as alleged.

Yes, 1 new account with 3 posts stated that.

Allegedly

Interesting theory. Was 9/11 responsible for the delay in timing?

I could certainly see parts of Canada wanting to realign with the new countries. They aren't real happy with their centralized government either. Military dictators will have a tough time with 1/3 of Americans owning guns and significant cultural opposition coming from within the military. China and Russia would take advantage of the situation to take over much of Asia, the Pacific, and eastern Europe. Doubt they'd touch the continental US.

A split from the US, yes. Them and Alaska.

It's basically part of the platform that a strong centralized government with an all-powerful leader can fix anything. They never seem to expect someone like Trump to eventually be in charge of that strong central government though.

I've only seen "serious" proposals to split California in order to secure more Senate spots.

If the west did separate, I can't imagine the northeast sticking around long in what would then be a very red country.

But they're also turning Colorado into the west coast.

It'd be nice/cleaner if we simply went back to a weak federal government with strong states.

And how would the national debt and federally owned property be handled? It'd be messy and likely violent.

Excellent!

Throwing stones in glass houses and such

Neither did Latimer.

Time to outlaw the dollar dance.

Agreed. Those are a problem and the lack of consistency has rightfully led many to question the validity of any of the measures being required. The only one I could maybe agree with is if they have data proving the 3k capacity for the speedway was leading to mass spread of the virus. I haven't heard/read about them saying it was an issue discovered via contact tracing, so I'm left to assume you are correct and it was an arbitrary decision.

Where's the study confirming a 30-40% positive error rate? That's just a ridiculous thing to make up. What's acceptable changes depending on who you talk to. Personally, I don't think social distancing and wearing a mask in public is too much of a burden, but I understand some others have different feelings on that for various reasons. As for timing, we know much more about how to treat the virus now than we did 6 months ago. Our testing ability is 10x better now than it was 6 months ago. We'll have quick response tests and a vaccine (of admittedly questionable value at this point, as the studies have not been completed) available soon, likely by the end of the year. 5 years from now, most of the class will have been vaccinated, so no. In the short term, the virus is gonna virus, but we can take certain steps to limit mass outbreaks.

Of course it doesn't, but if you tested positive, you would know not to have direct contact with the UPS driver. It's a battle of attrition.

Who is going to want to work for a nursing home in that situation? Does Oxbow need to quit his job in the medical field or just tell his children they can't leave the house again? I don't agree with cancelling life. We should never go through another lockdown. But testing, finding, and quarantining asymptomatic people who may spread the virus seems like a reasonable responsibility for the community to accept under the current circumstances.

Although I'd like it to be able to work this way, what does the nursing home RN do with her high school aged child? How about her husband who's employed at Simplot or LM?
