Though I'd be interested in differentiating and quantifying the two, mostly I'd just like to see a solution for the people suffering.

Sadly, I wouldn't dismiss that possibility offhand...

The framers were smart enough not to allow the prosecution of a sitting president, lest the country be leaderless while the court battle was being litigated. So the president must be impeached first. But they weren't smart enough to foresee a disaster like Kamala. Who's going to impeach Joe when she's next up? Picking her as VP was sheer genius if he anticipated a threat of ouster for crimes or for mental decline. Repeating a link from a few posts up. Hardly qualifies as a nuthin' burger: https://oversight.house.gov/blog/evidence-of-joe-bidens-involvement-in-his-familys-influence-peddling-schemes/ Edit: I'd add that Joe could be caught on the White House lawn with a machete in one hand and a severed head in the other, and the Dems still wouldn't vote for impeachment, for fear of allowing the bad orange man back...

I do my own. Also cut my neighbors on both sides. Good exercise and neighborly relations. (That's when I'm not in China like I'm stuck right now for personal reasons). Edit: I hired a buddy of mine, originally from Wisconsin (with a complexion to match) to cut it in my absence.

I think part of that incentive would be to offer a living wage for those jobs. The cost of the labor component of food production probably pales in comparison with the cost of land, cost of seed, cost of fertilizer, cost of farm implements, cost of water, cost of trucking, cost of retailing, and profit percentage. I suspect doubling the picking wages would add less than 10% on the cost of a carrot. (I stand to be corrected on that by someone with one of their quick links) But as long as we're letting thousands of potential cheap labor in every day, what's the chances that's going to happen? Competing with people who have never made over $10 a day in their lives is a non starter for most Americans. And I don't blame them.

Full story, my 1st Pfizer went remarkably well. No soreness, no symptoms at all. So I eagerly went in for my 2nd when they texted me it was time (scarce doses were still being bogarted at that time). Still no soreness, no noticeable symptoms that day or the next. Then on the 2nd morning, I woke up with the left side of my face numb. Lost my sense of balance, so some home projects that required ladder work went by the wayside. And my energy level went into the toilet. Couldn't stay awake for the whole day. That was 2.5+ years ago. I've adjusted my lifestyle to accommodate the symptoms, especially the low energy level. I'd give just about anything to go back and undo that 2nd shot.

And that's why I'm not anti-vax. I'm anti-mandate. We should all be free to make our own decisions regarding our own bodies. Thx for the link.

Trump only running ‘to stay out of prison’ So's Joe. Because the minute he's no longer a useful meat puppet, the bribery charges are going to come screaming at him.

You mean like "2 weeks to flatten the curve" isn't going to be 2 weeks, or "get the vaccine and you'll be fine to go visit Grandma" isn't really safe for Grandma (even if she's been vaxxed), or... or...

If you do go out on a bender, I hope it's not the one you don't come back from.

Regardless of whether it's IT Engineer or IT Staff, offering up $322 USD a month while requesting a post graduate degree is still a TIT thing.

2. Graduated in the postgraduate degree. Up the relevant branches That's some educated staff....

My apologies that I can't view the video because it's blocked here where I'm staying. Did she show the symptoms before or after she was vaccinated? Because I had my symptoms 2+ years before I actually got Covid, and starting 2 days after my 2nd Pfizer. Not nearly as dire as you've described her condition, but life altering anyway.

More like 20-50x. That's why I get such a kick out of the guys who spent their whole lives on a western salary, making fun of Thai people who can't seem to manage their money. I challenge them to leave the house each morning for a month with 50 baht in their pocket, because that's probably what the median Thai worker has for discretionary spending after the necessities are paid for at home. I don't think most of us could do it. I know I couldn't.

Living overseas has always been a legitimate reason to get a mail-in ballot. Being dead, living at the address of a vacant field, and being in a nursing home unable to even open your eyes or respond to a voice, hasn't. Until recently.

Fox News. Look it up. I'm not going to give the link because I relish the thought of you having to wallow around in the Fox mud.

Woke is the belief that mine (ours) is obviously the only correct answer on an issue, and if you disagree, you're not only wrong, you’re intellectually inferior to us and should be granted no voice. Further characterized by a penchant for finding offense, misogyny, racism and XYZphobia where none exists.

If nobody's allowed to discuss the lapses in judgment that contributed to becoming the victim, doesn't that squander a good teaching opportunity? Like OneMoreFarang, I don't walk down dark alleys with hundred dollar bills hanging out of my pockets, I don't leave my car running when I go into a restaurant to eat, and I don't leave my front and back doors wide open so I can enjoy the nice crossflow when I'm sleeping. Even though all of those are within my rights.

Me Too quietly threw Tara Reade under the bus, in pursuit of a higher purpose. Getting rid of the bad orange man. Handy tool, that Me Too. Pull it out when it serves your purpose, put it back in the wrapper when it doesn't.

Might be... Who's that?

Believing "fact checkers" is like believing Wikipedia. Or WaPo. Or WJ.

If you had consensual sex on Monday, then again on Friday, that tryst you had on the Wednesday in between was probably consensual, too. If she was raped on Wednesday, why would she willingly return on Friday?

That's what I said... It's about as fair and balanced as WaPo. Just a mirror image. My experience of the WJ is that I've never identified an untruth. But they do just cover one side, so perhaps deception by omission. So they're not my only source. In this case, it's a Glenn Greenwald interview of one of the founders of Wikipedia. Who would know better if the site's been hijacked?

Just saw a video from last week, Hillary still claiming she won the 2016 election. Russian collusion and all...
