The US vaccine rollout is hosed in a lot of different ways, and is still beating most of the rest of the world, including Canada and the EU lol *USA chant of undetermined amount of irony*

my entire family in EU of all ages has yet to get a vaccine, except for my cousin that is a nurse, I got my moderna shot 2 days ago in california. the US and the Uk managed to gently caress it up into success, failing upwards is really a thing in america.

Some counties are moving to a less-restrictive tier Sunday (Placer to red despite being in purple range on Tuesday) due to the 2 million magic number of vaccinations hit. The ranges for red have been expanded a bit higher as a result. Once we hit 4 million vaccines, yellow/orange upper ranges expand as well.

Still Dismal posted:EU: *spends decades and trillions building post-war welfare states* The US bought up a lot of the vaccines. Trump was playing hardball and demanding Pfizer, Moderna, etc commit huge chunks of their production to the US before anyone else got to buy them. The US, UK, and Canada have all bought enough vaccine to vaccinate everyone like five times over. Meanwhile the EU is at least somewhat trying to buy for poorer countries in its membership that can't pay whatever price the pharma companies ask, or say Pfizer doesn't really care about getting Moldova to owe it a favor Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Mar 12, 2021 |

Chaos option: a Democrat wins the recall election but it’s Kevin de LeónFilthyImp posted:poo poo's opening up and schools are, at least, going to have K-2 back in April so the heat will be off. That would be the case if the Republican motive for recall was anything real and not just “Newsom is a Democrat and we hate Democrats”. Every chud I’ve seen posting about recall on Twitter is talking about either Newsom’s personal errors like the French Laundry, or just repeating the ancient Republican talking points about California being in decline because of Democrats. So Republicans will still get about 33% percent of the vote duck.exe fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Mar 13, 2021 |

Yeah, I've said before that while I do cut Gavin a lot of slack for our half-assed COVID response since there was really only so much that could be done in the face of Federal opposition, his handling of the optics has frankly been embarrassing. The wine cave, the French Laundry, pointing to loving Doordash as a 2020 success story for California business, spending who knows how much money to give a speech to an empty stadium, etc. He's not even trying to hide that the most important things to him are his high-flying lifestyle and his political career. Cuomo levels of being completely unable to even fake empathy.

DukeDuke posted:So how worried should I be that Newsom will be replaced with a servant of Satan, aka a Republican? This also puts the CA Democratic Party in a weird position of campaigning for "Vote to keep Newsom, but also vote for this person to replace him" (or with last recall election, as FilthyImp put it, "Vote For My Boss. BUT if Not Vote For Me", though last recall had a lot of other unique factors at play that are different from the unique factors at play here). But that's just spitballing.

I would not be surprised if there was a specific blend of SF/LA dem that thinks Gavin is good, actually, but almost everybody who I've talked to in San Jose is either a Republican, a dipshit techbro, in a union, or scraping by in retail, and I've learned that the one thing that unites all the disparate groups is that they cannot loving stand Newsom.

I wish we still did toxxes because I would definitely toxx for Gavin to survive the recall. I don't like him but I'd rather see him get primaried in the next election than lose his seat because of covid19. Although he really did do plenty of unnecessary self-owns in the pandemic.

Yeah I don't love Newsom, and I'd be happy to see him lose to someone more progressive next year, but I hope he wins by a huge margin with this recall election. He's made some poor decisions, especially in terms of optics, but nothing he's done has been remotely worthy of a recall. I don't like the precedent that a recall can be used for sour grapes - it should be reserved for egregious failures. Having dinner at a fancy restaurant during a pandemic is a terrible look, but it's not an egregious failure.
