The only reason why Sleepy Joe pushed it back (Kamala wanted it!) was because of cratering in his poll number.

For months they were serious on turning back on student loan payments to show the economy had recovered.

the WH also got reamed by congressional progressives at the end of last week which is related to above

Of course the bright side the fact that had it on the table for months and told people to shut up whining won't really recover any sort of popularity.

Trump did a loan freeze without this level of drama, while the Sleepy Joe admin acted like starting up the payments was a genius political move.

remember how we wiped out a strain or two of flu simply by wearing masks last winter? what if instead of continuing to do that, we whined about how uncomfortable masks made us and tore them off at the first sign we might have beaten covid

I just haven’t been the same since like august when it was shown Australia or New Zealand or some other fictional place had sooo many less deaths to various flu/respiratory crap.

like that’s what people want to go back to. what they are clamoring for. demanding. there could be soooooo many things learnt from this pandemic, instead it’s just maximal stupid.

yeah all this info comes from the daily omicron overview: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-omicron-daily-overview

which should be read for the SGTF figures as the sequenced cases (confirmed omicron) seem to have be at their peak capacity, sgtf comes from pcr so that's at capacity as well but you get the % that are omicron figure from that

over 90% in london

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
gently caress, a 31 year old who'd been here since second week in December just died. No vax. Only co morbidity was bmi of 38.

the interesting thing about the "it's mild" crowd is that even if this is true, it's meaningless if omicron is 5x more infectious than delta and we're not doing anything to contain the spread, it owns.
