Woofer posted:You’re making people hate you and not give a poo poo about your cause. This is essentially the same argument used to tell people to be nice to CHUDs because it's too mean to their feelings to talk about how the economy is deeply unfair and racism is a massive problem. It is gentler to people not to talk about racism or public safety or tax reform, but that doesn't mean it's good to just tell people that if they don't like the situation, they need to shut the gently caress up, because change is inconvenient. https://www.ghsa.org/resources/news...%20only%202%25. quote:Pedestrians are projected to account for 17% of all traffic deaths in 2019, compared to 12% in 2009. While pedestrian deaths have been increasing significantly over the past decade, the number of all other traffic deaths has increased by only 2%. A statistical projection of traffic fatalities for the first half of 2019 (conducted by NHTSA) shows an estimated 3.4% reduction in overall traffic fatalities compared to the first half of 2018. Although advancements in motor vehicle safety and technology have increased survivability for vehicle occupants involved in crashes, pedestrians remain just as susceptible to sustaining serious or fatal injuries when struck by a motor vehicle. Pedestrian death is disproportionately on the rise in recent years. This is something that can be affected often at the local level! People should talk about it with their reps, city councils, etc. They shouldn't back down from reforming civic planning and enforcement just because it might annoy motorists.

Truly this nation has two original sins - the enslavement and subsequent apartheid cruelty to Black Americans, and our historic mistreatment of cyclists. Lol at making the CE events your soapbox for city planning. Why not, I dunno, a city council meeting? Maybe do something actually in your community if these issues effect you so directly?

Has there been any word from Operation Warp Speed with regards to when the general public will begin receiving these vaccines that are getting authorized shortly? I watched the 60 minutes segment on OWS, and it was way more reassuring than anything I’ve seen on the news in YEARS. But that was weeks ago, and there’s like... no word on when John Q. Regular Person gets a vaccination shot. Is it weeks from now? Months? Longer than 6 months? A year? I don’t loving know. But if you do, please, tell me what you know. Please and Thank You.

I do consulting at the dept of health and I hear a lot of rumors, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. This is also stuff I heard before Pfizer said their supply chain broke down. Things should start getting better in the spring with essential workers and high risk people, but don’t expect Johnny Q. Nobody to be able to get a vaccine until the end of the summer at the earliest.

Scripts have been kicking around for years so who knows how serious they are this time. There’s some discussion in the Metal Gear thread in Games too.

Less than 5% of the 207m dollars trump has raised post-election has been used to contest the election and a little more than 1% of the total has been used on legal fees.

MazelTovCocktail posted:Would have been nice to have some direct payments in there...but no we can’t have that. It was commented today that "direct payments have no lobbyist in DC" and them being left out is probably not a coincidence. Also a *lot* of people are forgetting that the $1.7T offer had a LOT of Republican-priority garbage in it (like no employer liability), so the dollar figure alone doesn't cut it. But anyways, have two SHUT THE gently caress UP DONNIE, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT stories: https://twitter.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1334956230775861257 https://twitter.com/joshgerstein/status/1334955569128624131 I'm no lawyer, but I don't think it's good for Donnie when a federal judge is asking "why the gently caress is this state issue in front of me?".

I remember there was about a week or two of Donnie actually having decent lawyers on this poo poo. What I can't decide is which made more of an impact - the lawyers seeing how dumb all this was (and turning down the money?!), or groups like The Lincoln Project doxxing the absolute gently caress out of the lawyers that attached their names to the lawsuits. The end result is this either way: https://twitter.com/travis_view/status/1334961330885804033

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:this has to be the dumbest post i've read and i didn't skip through bike chat I mean honestly he's not wrong. The key thing to remember is that the main stumbling block throughout the spring, summer, and fall towards getting a new stimulus is Senate Republicans. Even when Pelosi was negotiating with Mnuchin in September and October, it was clear that that nothing they'd agreed to would pass through the Senate—and the only things in McConnell's counter-proposal were things like PPP and the insane "waive COVID liabilities for businesses" proposal. Now, there's a "Framework" that at least some Senate Republicans can agree to. And key point: This is not an actual bill. It's literally a list of "we can agree on something around these numbers I guess" Like:  This is it. This is the "Bipartisan framework." It's bad and terribly insufficient, but it may also be the only thing that can get passed in the next month and a half before Biden takes office, and it's not nothing. For the Dems there's also the benefit that when Biden does take office, they'll be the ones distributing and managing funds, so there's less chance for PPP money to fall down Mnuchin's Black Hole of Graft (Which is what happened with the last round of stimulus). And if the Dems do take the Senate, nothing is stopping them from approving another, larger stimulus package with additional checks and more money for unemployment (Which is something that both Ossoff and Warnock are campaigning on). And if it falls through and Senate Republicans torpedo the deal (Which I think is pretty likely, considering how many details still need to be hashed out), at least the Dems can say they tried.

Trump's attempt to take troops out of Germany was bad and dumb but this is definitely a step in the right direction. https://www.stripes.com/news/africa/trump-orders-the-withdrawal-of-the-majority-of-us-troops-in-somalia-1.654243 Unfortunately, it's probably going to be the only step. Somalia is a policy failure and money pit and an incredible object lesson in "sunk cost fallacy." We really should recognize Somaliland and just leave Mogadishu to re-collapse.
