Funny how much people who typically don't hump the flag really hump the flag when it comes to punishing those Traitorous Southerners post Civil War. Guess the opposite is true as well, tho.

smdftb with this poo poo. Patriotism is not owned by the right, and those treasonous bastards deserved the gallows.

I signed my name on the line and went overseas for this nation. I think I have the right to say that traitorous bastards deserve a noose around their necks.

Those treasonous bastards in charge of the assault on our capitol a year ago deserve similar outcomes but instead they’re embraced with open arms by their fellows. It makes my blood boil that a battleflag of the army of northern virginia was paraded in the capitol of our nation. I don’t see how anyone can say they love this country and countenance that.

Those are my flags because we are a nation that was built with white supremacy embedded in it on the back of black labor.

Everything is just a weird rear end culture war now. I imagine 20 years ago if Kyle Rittenhouse had done the same thing, it probably stays a local case and he either goes to prison, or if he gets the same judge, is let out but it's by no means a national story. Now the murderer is getting invites to every conservative movement for killing people. That's insane to me.

WASHINGTON—As Covid-19 cases climb across the U.S., President Biden and his administration are preparing Americans to accept the virus as a part of daily life, in a break from a year ago when he took office with a pledge to rein in the pandemic and months later said the nation was “closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus.”

Its also partially because local news has been killed, local newspapers have been gutted and conglomerated, local tv news has been bought up by larger chains and now doesn't even have to be made in market, and the internet has solved the national distribution issue for places like NY Times and WaPo to become national.

Remember how generic USA Today used to be because it was trying to be a national newspaper with no regional interest? Thats most news sources these days

I see numbers of 750k, which probably includes both civilian casualties, and war casualties that were due to disease (dysentery, for example) which killed more men than actual combat wounds. But also consider that that 750k was ~2.5% of the nation's population of the time. If Covid kills 7M+ Americans, we'll be in the same ballpark.

we're already in the cook the books phase of the pandemic so i doubt we'll ever see official numbers over the 2 million mark but im not sure at what point anyone in power starts pretending to care again regardless of how many people it kills or disables

You gotta compare proportions. The US population has grown tremendously since the civil war. Yes, a larger raw number has died from covid, but that is also a much smaller percentage of the total population.

The civil war killed an appreciable amount of people at a scale we have not seen since in this nation.

E: roughly 2% of the entire US pop died in the civil war. When 7m people die in the USA from covid we’re in the same ballpark.

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Kiddo's ABA counselor tested positive for Covid today so therapy is out for a while and I guess we're all close contacts!

Been told by the school that she doesn't have to quarantine but they do need a negative test from her in five days. And now I'm wondering how that's going to work if my wife or I come down with it, or how we're even going to find a test to begin with. Guess I'll call her pediatrician and hope they can do it or have an idea where would be the best place to go?

People are dropping like flies not showing up due to positive COVID tests here, and I am still the only person who wears my mask at my desk. The CDC really needs to investigate the magical power of these 5' high cube walls to prevent the spread of this airborne virus.

I am also one bad morning stand-up meeting away from yelling at one of the managers to put on his loving mask, because it is ALWAYS on his chin. Unsurprisingly, bringing it up to one of the other managers has not improved things.
