Powell apparently had multiple myeloma so he's the poster child of a case where the vax won't be able to do that much

I'm not listening to it, but anyone- particularly a GO- who purposely lies to gets us embroiled in an unwinnable, illegal war deserves a lot worse than COVID.

gently caress him. The only sad thing about his death is I won't get to punch him.

When you’re 84, you’ve got like a 1 in 5 chance of dying in any given year, and that probability continues its asymptotic rise to 1 from there.

Yeah it's basically this situation - already compromised immune system and very old. The primary way you stop a person like that from getting COVID is to not have other people around him get COVID. And with the general numbers in the country still high - welp.

I've been thinking of vaccines like body armor - some will outright fail, others will stop the bullet but kill the olds wearing it (Powell), others will make the person sore for a few days, and others will make a person go "whoa I've been shot lol that's rad I didn't feel anything" when they get home.

So obviously, the solution is to pull all body armor from are troops!

Powell reminds me of McCain in how on the surface level we're expected to give them blind admiration for their nonstop achievements, but when you dig it's hard to identify anything objectively positive that made the world a better place.

Much like McCain, the entire media apparatus kept saying he's a great guy, which fooled everyone who wasn't looking that hard into everything (including myself). I presume that much like McCain, he got this fawning press through a combination of cultivated flattery to the press corps and being a regular source.

Prob the biggest lesson in media awareness I've learned in life is that when a unelected public servant of some variety gets a flattering high level media profile, that public servant is a frequent source and the fawning article is an in-kind payment for services rendered.

Another recent example of this is John Kasich. From the media narrative, you’d think he was the second coming of Abraham Lincoln, but he’s really just Mike Pence without the love for horse meat.

WMATA was designed for the DC area in the 1970s/early 80s, and rather than work *around* that, all they've done is add new stations and recently, added a whole new LINE that shares the oldest track in the system, increasing congestion when things are working *right* and only hastening track fatigue and equipment failure.

It's a miracle MORE people haven't died on Metro.

Especially considering the Metro seems only a few steps away from the aesthetic of a crypt anyway.

Honestly I prefer him casting Samuel Jackson and Sherman and Idris Elba as Grant, but this is a good idea too, whatever pisses off Confederates is good with me.
