You're making a lot of assumptions there. Is it "blue collar" to only have one working parent while the other takes care of the family? I would think most people would prefer that if they can make it work. I am a fairly well compensated software engineer and my wife stays home to take care of the kids because we can afford it, and many others that I work with do the same. It seems a bit silly to have her work just so that we can pay someone else to raise our children for us.

genuinely asking, how do we actually know the delta variant is real, and is the dominant variant causing the current cases? do people actually get tested for specific variants, or is it just a generic covid test?

I've got a ~10 year old audi with the HDD as well as Dual SD Card Readers. When i first bought it I thought that was absurd, but now that i have it loaded up with multiple 128GB SD cards its actually a pretty good feature.

the "full approval" happened much faster than any other vaccine or medication in recent memory. also the approval was based on the exact same dataset that was used for the EUA, to me that does not inspire confidence

it almost seems like we needed to wait to get more data before forcing people to take experimental vaccines in order to keep their employment

>video is a terrible medium for people evaluating information critically

yes, but this is the world we live in currently. getting information from the "factual" videos will still be encouraged
