A more insidious failing than even this back-burnering is our record of half-assing. In America, the most prominent example is the ACA, which is half-assed medicare for all, and leaves #HealthcareBankruptcy an all too real possibility for the public.
It was a bipartisan effort to declared the pandemic over before schools and hospitals have been made safe… so yes… there is some reflection needed there.
People that are usually very intelligent and empathetic are not engaging with this issue… and it is having devastating consequences…

Nice work, America...
The point was always that he *wanted* to "shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue," and by now he's undoubtedly into the thousands.
And you all don't think yourselves monsters, but the reality is that you're letting him.

Just going to keep pressing the point: clear objectives don't render his illegal war of aggression in any way a moral undertaking.
Understand that adolf and hirohito had the clearest of objectives for their illegal wars of aggression, and America hanged their prime lieutenants by the dozen.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
Exactly — you all are, every day, willingly, unnecessarily, and perhaps unknowingly playing #LongCovidRoulette. And you're doing it in likely willful ignorance of how easy it is to live life breathing only #VirusFreeAir (let alone that a #VirusFreeAirMandate generates positive externalities).
🤷🏻♀️🤞
This is one of the core reasons why a #VirusFreeAirMandate generates positive externalities: it turns off the spigot of new #LongCovid and #LongCovidKids.

We invite you to reflect on the many losses of Long Covid, including those who have passed and those whose lives have been altered.

Nothing could be easier than donning my [breathe] reusable elastomeric respirator from prescientx.com, which gives me a secure seal instantly. It's a great Canadian company that also provides upper-room UVC solutions.
It's so easy to breathe #VirusFreeAir.

The incorrect messaging on COVID is key to leading us to this point in time, where many fell into the trap of listening to antivaxxer misinformation. We never had the correct mask advice and we are still being told to only wash hands for a predominantly airborne virus. The idea we should be 🧵
Yeah, as the regime rolls out everything trump fearmongered about Obama, Clinton, and Harris, remember that #MalignantConservatism is all about projection...
#Solidarity
Early cases were dragged out, but are now establishing precedents. Unions in particular need to be aware that COVID and #longCOVID are often a result of unsafe working conditions, especially in the absence of protections against the known risk of airborne transmission.
#polisky #cdnpoli
So, clearly, they're about launch a comprehensive public education campaign that #CovidIsAirborne and formalize guidance for governments to implement a #VirusFreeAirMandate, right?
No?
👀
Hollywood murder trope: kill a bunch of people in order to obscure the intended target...
#AmericanFascism
So, again, in addition to being the clear moral imperative for our immunocompromised neighbours, a #VirusFreeAirMandate has nothing but positive externalities: it's good for our economy on the micro- *and* macro-level. But the droplet dogma establishment... will. not. budge.
It's Occam's razor for all things trump, and yet more evidence of putin's #GlobalOligarchy.
Btw, this is the real reason rightwingers work so hard to make "being awake" unfashionable.
🤷🏻♀️
Yes, and it is, first and foremost, an illegal war of aggression, in which #AmericanWarCrimes are already mounting.
McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
...him so much, that he laid on his horn for the next half block.
😕
Again, tonight, we waited for a cluster of traffic to clear, before crossing — just one car was still a good half block away. Turns out he was on us in a hurry, barely slowed for us, let alone the stop-sign; reflexively, I turned my head, as he passed just behind us, and said "wow". This offended...
Here's Canada's version

*is...
(Because the silence persists, right? And it's been, thus far, impossible to get anyone with more credibility than this internet anon to run the numbers on the intuitive certainty that a #VirusFreeAirMandate will generate nothing but socioeconomic upside. So, what gives, right? 🤷🏻♀️)
Oh, for sure — I periodically remind us that rightwingers will bring #HealthcareBankruptcy to 🇨🇦, if we let them.
But the promise of the turnout strategy just doesn't seem to resonate. Maybe progressives here don't accept that the majority of non-voters are non-conservatives...

BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked DOJ subpoenas targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell, ruling there is “a mountain of evidence” they were used to pressure Powell to lower interest rates or resign. Trump’s social media posts are featured prominently in the opinion.
A reminder that this kind of thing not only happens inside the "look at me I'm doing a science" Evidence Based Medicine bubble, it is 🤬 normal, it is protected, and it is used to make shoddy, 🐂💩 healthcare guidance that is killing people every day.
