Aside from the COVID vaccine, Mississippi has the highest rate of child vaccinations in the country, West Virginia is similarly high. This is the only good statistic I know about my home state. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...rate-heres-why/ quote:But there is one notable exception to these dour health stats: Mississippi has the highest vaccination rate for school-age children. It’s not even close. Last year, 99.7 percent of the state’s kindergartners were fully vaccinated. Just 140 students in Mississippi entered school without all of their required shots.

While that image is cool I guess. I think it's more important to spread the idea that the federal government "paying for" stuff is capitalist framing, indeed most of what the government should be doing is explicitly "not-profitable" and that's ok. Government priorities should be based on the cost of NOT doing something. For example The lack of Universal Healthcare in the US costs us few hundred thousand lives and hospitalizations every year, in addition to propping up a parasitic cottage industry that exist solely to deny care to people and pocket the savings. tl;dr.

why do we complain about how dumb and pathetic the dems are when it's pretty obvious that they're controlled opposition? it seems like us politics is just a game within a game. a push here, a poke there and civil unrest is managed or harnessed for the next election cycle. a common thought i see around here is that kabuki theater is done, but we never try to find the ultimate purpose of it all. it's interesting to entertain the thought that maybe there's some kind of council of people that sit at the intersection of domestic politics, the state drpartment, intelligence services, the military, industry and finance. if they exist, what do they want? what do they believe? if you don't believe that such a thing is real, then you necessarily believe that somehow all these separate agencies and power structures just happen to keep it together across various large scale financial collapses, frequent regime changes, and changes to the landscape of society. i dunno, tell me why i'm wrong or recommend some books about it if they exist

Eggplant Squire posted:Lmao I missed that he really is the dumbest fucker quote:There's plenty meanwhile that is actually up to the president. The Obama administration, for instance, was in charge of implementing Obamacare and they botched it badly. They have a lot of power to set sweeping limits on carbon emissions from power plants and there are real questions as to how they'll use it. They clearly have more power than they've chosen to exercise over the pace of deportations. They now have the ability to push both executive and judicial nominees through the Senate and so the continued slow pace of nominations is on them. The Treasury Department left a lot of money earmarked for helping homeowners languishing in a bank account. Even people without magical power rings can be very powerful  "Okay, so Obama actually does have plenty of power but you're REPORTING IT WRONG!"

Its important to remember that green lantern theory is a strawman description of leftist criticism of democrat politicians. It equates a valid concern that politicians are not trying hard enough or (sit down for this one) might not actually want to do what they said they want to do with a claim like 'presidents hold unlimited power and can achieve their desires through force of will alone'. The latter being obviously not the point in question and a handy effigy to string up. Its popular with the liberal npr types and is deployed mostly to calm down their audience when someone talks about how kids are still in concentration camps a little too loudly. Specifically, its a deflection liberal media deploys against leftist criticism so their lib audience can safely dismiss said criticism.

i am perpetually jealous of the american conservative movement's ability to look at the bigger long term picture to push its ideology. sure it's absolutely wretched and killing us all, but they know enough about politics to plan for how they want to achieve their goals, while democrats dont have anything at all. republicans step aside and let new blood in to let their ideology fester over time while to democrats, it doesn't matter what this country is like as long as their specific people are in the White House and cabinet spots.
