Shimrra Jamaane posted:Trump has never once understood the concept of Soft Power. He's the perfect aging white guy boomer in this regard. In a way, the Soviet Union was the worst possible global 'adversary' this culture could have ever had. The USSR absolutely sucked at projecting soft power, but they were quite intimidating in a hard power sense. This allowed an entire two generations of Americans to grow up with the notion that the only reason we eventually became the hegmon was due to the nation state equivalent of taking our collective shirts off and flexing our outsized pecs. When, in reality... it was a bunch of quantitative analysis dweebs and a dude named Malcolm McClean who in 1957, started putting freight in standard sized boxes. As a Xennial with Silent/Boomer cusp parents, Trump would be kind of nostalgic in a 'known spaces' sort of way if he and his cohort weren't such malignant carbuncles, dooming people to misery.

South Dakota’s governor resisted ordering people to stay home. Now it has one of the nation’s largest coronavirus hot spots. msn.com/10 hrs ago 'As governors across the country fell into line in recent weeks, South Dakota’s top elected leader stood firm: There would be no statewide order to stay home. Such edicts to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kristi L. Noem said disparagingly, reflected a “herd mentality.” It was up to individuals — not government — to decide whether “to exercise their right to work, to worship and to play. Or to even stay at home.” And besides, the first-term Republican told reporters at a briefing this month, “South Dakota is not New York City.”' US for-profit healthcare sector cuts thousands of jobs as pandemic rages theguardian.com/14 Apr 2020 "Health workers are facing layoffs, furloughs and cuts to salaries and schedules in response to declines in revenue" .... 'Maureen Zeman was a registered nurse for 29 years at a hospital in San Jose, California, before she was laid off with dozens of other nurses – amid the coronavirus pandemic. Many states across the US have stopped elective medical procedures as part of emergency shutdowns to curb the spread of the coronavirus. As a result, hospitals and medical clinics are implementing layoffs, furloughs and cuts to salaries and work schedules in response to declines in revenue. The for-profit company that owns the hospital where Zeman worked decided to shut down the maternal delivery department at the end of March. It put Zeman and many others out of a job, and left patients with far fewer options. “They say it’s not related to Covid-19, but it’s a huge disservice to the women of the east side of San Jose. Doing this during a pandemic is terrible,” said Zeman. “They said it wasn’t financially stable to keep the unit open, and so they’re closing. Our big concern is we’re a trauma center and there are no hospitals in this area that can take care of women and children’s services.”' [Have seen this today as an argument from the nazis that all is well: "Why are hospitals laying off people then?"] ICE ignores coronavirus guidelines in detention, federal lawsuit says. ‘Many will die.’ miamiherald.com/April 13, 2020 'National health experts say U.S. immigration officials are violating federal guidelines by grouping inmates together by the hundreds if they have COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to the coronavirus, according to a lawsuit filed in Miami federal court Monday. The lawsuit — filed by the University of Miami’s immigration law clinic, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Rapid Defense Network in New York, the Legal Aid Service of Broward County and Prada Urizar, a private Miami law firm, against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Attorney General — seeks the release of detainees in three South Florida detention centers, citing health experts who say the practice of “cohorting” — segregating affected inmates in separate areas — is actually spreading the coronavirus “like wildfire” among detainees and staff.' Who Is Jared Kushner? Narrated By Anna Akana youtube.com/Mar 4, 2020 The Revolution Is Under Way Already theatlantic.com/April 5, 2020 "Far from making Americans crave stability, the pandemic underscores how everything is up for grabs." .... "Fear sweeps the land. Many businesses collapse. Some huge fortunes are made. Panicked consumers stockpile paper, food, and weapons. The government’s reaction is inconsistent and ineffectual. Ordinary commerce grinds to a halt; investors can find no safe assets. Political factionalism grows more intense. Everything falls apart. This was all as true of revolutionary France in 1789 and 1790 as it is of the United States today. Are we at the beginning of a revolution that has yet to be named? Do we want to be? That we are on the verge of a major transformation seems obvious. The onset of the next Depression, a challenge akin to World War II, a national midlife crisis—these comparisons have been offered and many more. But few are calling our current moment a revolution, and some have suggested that the coronavirus pandemic—coinciding as it has with the surge in Joe Biden’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination and the decline of Bernie Sanders’s—marks the end of any such possibility. “The Coronavirus Killed the Revolution,” declared the headline of a recent essay in The Atlantic by Shadi Hamid, who argued that the COVID-19 crisis makes people crave “normalcy” over deep structural change. As a historian of 18th- and 19th-century France, I think claims like these are mistaken." Coronavirus tracked: the latest figures as the pandemic spreads | Free to read ft.com/4 hours ago "The human cost of the coronavirus outbreak has continued to mount, with more than 1.99m cases confirmed globally and more than 120,000 people known to have died from the disease. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a pandemic and it has spread to more than 190 countries around the world. This page provides an up-to-date visual narrative of the spread of Covid-19 so please check back regularly because we will be refreshing it with new graphics and features as the story evolves." FDA clears first saliva test to diagnose coronavirus nbcnews.com/April 13, 2020 "Rutgers University researchers have received U.S. government clearance for the first saliva test to help diagnose COVID-19, a new approach that could help expand testing options and reduce risks of infection for health care workers." They can't march in the streets. So they're protesting in their cars instead cnn.com/April 14, 2020 'The protesters met up at a gas station. They taped signs on the sides of their cars and got ready to blare their horns. Then they drove slowly down the street together. The scene on a recent evening in Eloy, Arizona, about 60 miles southeast of Phoenix, was different than any demonstration Natally Cruz had joined before. "I felt chills ... just to see how much support there is out there, to see how even at this hard time, people are still trying to find a way to help one another," says Cruz, who headed to the protest in her black Nissan Maxima with several signs in tow.' Are We at the Start of a New Protest Movement? nytimes.com/April 13, 2020 "The immediate immiseration of millions of people highlights our mutual bond." .... "The coronavirus catastrophe shows that we need political protests more than ever. Tens of millions of citizens sit at home awaiting meager checks that may reach them by August. Countless people endure the bewilderment of navigating call centers that often fail to connect them to unemployment benefits. Donations to food banks have fallen while need rises. The inept federal response slows the arrival of aid, forcing people to defy the “social distancing” necessary to keep the virus at bay." Arrest made as protesters call for North Carolina businesses to reopen wbtv.com/ April 14, 2020 'A group of demonstrators are outside the General Assembly in downtown Raleigh Tuesday morning calling for businesses to reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Some are holding signs that say “Reopen NC” while another has a sign that reads “Freedom is not free.” Another has a sign with “#ReopenNC #Tyranny.” Raleigh police were on scene – telling the demonstrators they were in violation of the executive order.'

DC Murderverse posted:Carter was a better person than Obama but not a better president. I could possibly see arguments being made for LBJ but FDR is unquestionably the best president between Lincoln and now, and honestly has a pretty great case for Best President Ever LBJ was probably one of the best presidents we've ever had on the domestic front, but Vietnam just utterly damns him. That conflict broke the country in ways we still haven't (And may never be able to) recovered from. But man, Medicare and Medicaid, civil rights legislation, the moon... it's hard to imagine some of those accomplishments happening when they did without LBJ pushing for them. Anyway, I think in the grand scheme of things Obama probably ranks in the top 10-ish or so of Presidents solely for being competent. Didn't do as much as he could have, his signature achievements are underwhelming, but he was mostly scandal-free and his administration was staffed with competent if unexciting people.

Eminai posted:Bush Sr. The first Bush was mostly competent and less terrible than Reagan in some ways, but he was still a giant rear end in a top hat who caused major problems for his successors in how he handled the collapse of the Soviet Union. The US could have bought a LOT of international goodwill by being generous to the former Soviet Union and providing food and economic relief, but instead we sent over economists who argued for an insane policy of "shock therapy" that involved instant privatization of state industries, a move that A) lead many starving and cold Russians to forever hold animosity towards the United States (Those that lived, anyway ), and B) lead directly to the rise of the oligarchs that now rule Russia and... you guessed it, Vladimir Putin.
