I wish i had a proper doomer desk with all the relevant info printed, filed, and on a backup hard drive, and particularly alarming pictures/maps taped to the wall, imo

maybe it would be a substitute if there’s ever a covid-cspam.info ....

My experience with charter schools comes from a Benjamin Franklin Charter Schools in Gilbert AZ. Hella similar. along with basically being a publicly funded mormon school, they did everything possible to get rid of any legit needs student. A sizable portion of the kids were on ADHD meds, so they all had 504s and that was how they could show they helped kids with needs.

Their big thing was land grift. State build, bought land, Charter School founder's second company bought it to lease back to the chartershool.

free real estate rent grift with a publicly financed religious school that could exclude undesirables.

they also refused to feed kids who couldn't afford food. gently caress up

Isn't the whole Mormon grift that you have to pay for everything yourself, while still giving them 10% of your income

I found out that volunteer missionaries have to save tens of thousands of dollars for their own flights/room/board, which is loving insane

staffing shortages = Not willing to compete in terms of basic compensation like $$$

I remember reading a article on WTOP on how some local "farm to table" hipster restaurant owners admitted the whole industry is
based around on a "churn + burn" business model for employees.

Latest Weeds episode is about the 1918 flu pandemic. Interesting and some very slightly positive (?) things learned like that flu also had clear "long flu" effects and relatively frequent autoiummne reactions, maybe that's just a thing with all viral diseases and covid isn't especially bad. But he also said at the end NPIs can't be sustained and it'll probably just evolve to be mild, so lol

a couple years ago it came out that the mormon church has at least $100 billion stashed away. by some accounts it is wealthier than the catholic church (i think if you don't include the catholic church's non-liquid assets like old buildings eg the sistine chapel or religious artifacts).

“It’s all mass hysteria” I scream into the endless void while nothing is closed, shutdown or locked down and everything is open Biden.

What a handful of schools across the country are closed due to mass outbreaks, isn’t this what they want? What about “protecting the vulnerable” and the concerns of kids who don’t want to get COVID in school and then kill the grandparents they live with?

Airborne, superantigenic, rapidly mutating coronavirus with major original antigenic sin problems targets surface receptors involved with regulating the harmful effects of inflammation that not only targets critical tissues throughout the body, but also depletes naive T cells, induces autoimmune overreaction in nerve tissue, and may be killing T cells more efficiently than HIV.

So, in other words, Open Biden.

It's really obvious there was no plan for tests or masks even a month ago, right?

This is all very clearly just Biden saying something and then his admin scrambling and trying to make it happen (by building a lovely website and intercepting some quantity of tests, buying them, and then relabeling them and sending them out)

it's not just me, is it?

Every single time it’s because Biden is flinching because of bad press

Psaki cracks sarcastic about sending everyone free tests, internet makes fun of Biden, suddenly everyone gets promised free tests

CDC declines to recommend N95s, White House gets advised not to mail everyone free masks, everyone complains on internet. Bernie introduces bill to send everyone N95s. Suddenly Biden gets a fire under his rear end about mailing out masks.

The point is, keep bullying Biden online. Bullying works.

Be Best.

"Well you fell for, the first option presented for no aaaaactiion.
You couldn't see it so you, could not believe it
Since your lungs cramping up have been swollen and sore
Your t-cells back then, just don't work anymore
You called up the White House, to throw you a bone
