What year does NOAA choose as the beginning for "record"? It's relevant to the discussion.

Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

Humans have existed for 200,000 years.

This all comes off as political or quasi-religious because I can assure you that the author knows average people will read that headline and assume "begining of time". Hence I call bullshit.

As a millennial, I remember my Mom buying those Snack well cookies for herself, thinking they were more healthy than traditional cookies. I assume they compensated for less fat with added sugar.

Do you guys think the mid-late 20th century phenomena of fat = bad, sugar = no comment, has anything to do with this battle?

The West has the same thing. Journalists have had their bank accounts closed over political commentary. Classic social credit system.

In Australia you are forbidden to communicate with fellow citizens in public.

I don't recall China demanding that. You guys live in a bubble.

The United States, Western Europe and Australia are totalitarian.

Something both true and much harder to say than China.

The author of this piece, Kevin Drum on 7/15/19 - "Reactionary American whites, as always, won’t give up their power unless it’s taken from them....Liberals need to be as Lincolnesque as possible in this endeavor, but we also need to be Lincolnesque in our commitment to winning America’s latest race war."

My point - that kind of extreme rhetoric, borderline sociopathic, certainly racist, is behind much of America's "rising rage".

If this is a good faith question that's fine. A health passport to buy groceries is the hill to die on because you are consenting to a lifetime of injections just to live.

No one should be under the impression that the next booster won't be mandated. You give these people an inch and they take a mile.

And it's also not a government thing. I would think that the White House is upset with New York's decision because they preferred private business restrict access to the unvaccinated, New York might have jumped the gun, revealed the play etc.

I sent AOC a dm on Twitter when she had them open asking how on Earth she doesn't pursue a drone delivery ban, considering how many delivery drivers it would put out of work. No answer.

It's a serious question. Why downvote? Because you think it's coming but don't want to warn people?

I'm not a dev, I just like tech stuff. I say this because I actually work with lower middle class Black and Brown people, though I'm White and lower middle class.

Let me explain something to you guys, we worked through each "wave" and didn't really care. We were not "forced" to work. It was never a big deal.

The whole "woe is the working class during Covid" was just an excuse for neurotic professional class workers to WFH.

Does anyone believe this will be expanded to grocery stores, pharmacies and other basic services come fall? My job is already close to pushing mandatory vaccination and I'm trying to decide whether I should pack up my things and leave?
