Thanks for this, at least my tabs aren't totally lost.

People keep believing something that has no ties to reality and reality inevitably snaps back. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, that may have been the point of QAnon from the start.

Her dashboard still shows the same positive numbers as the state dashboard. The difference is the state dashboard separates numbers by residents and non-residents, while her dashboard combines the numbers.

I don't know why they call her a whistleblower. The data on her covid dashboard is the same as the data on the official state dashboard, and while the state doesn't ask for money on their dashboard, she's taking donations to present the exact same data on her dashboard.

So we're right back to "it's not for you it's for the people around you, you selfish asshole"?

I am a man living with my mother. My mother is relatively healthy, she can work, but she cannot afford to live on her own (even before the pandemic), so she lives with me and I pay the rent, and it has been this way for me since my twenties too. I am always extremely hesitant to tell anyone I am living with my mother, and yeah, it puts a freeze on dating to the point that I don't even attempt to date anymore either.

At least being men our dating prospects can actually improve the older we get, and for me I'll be pretty well off financially when I do live on my own, but that's small comfort in the present...

Should've specified that in the original comment, because significant population loss is not doing well.

It is a lot more comfortable to not be wearing any mask, that's why health experts like Dr. Fauci wear them only in front of the cameras but take them off when they think the cameras are off.

They used to want your money, now they want [to dictate] your life.

One, that's some nice editorializing on the paper title.

Two, Walter R. Mebane, an expert on election fraud, had a response to that paper: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/political-analysis/a...

And three, Mebane also released a short paper reviewing the 2020 results: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/inapB.pdf

tl;dr: There are very minor anomalies in some numbers but either way we have to wait till we get the final numbers in before we can do real analysis.

They can't help but penalize change. Work from home is a change that is resulting in much lower tax revenue, and they need new income streams to make up for it.

"It argues this is only fair, as those who work from home are saving money and not paying into the system like those who go out to work."

They simply need more people to "pay into the system" again.

That would be fine if they didn't preferentially apply that call out only to certain groups of people.

Individually we can do something to fight it. If you can't block the ads, learn to ignore them.
