I know that "biden is centrism satan" is hugely strongly held here, and It's even correct. But is disliking biden even a thing outside of small internet circles? It looks like he's mid 50s favorable and low 30s unfavorable with the public. Which looks like it's as good as any other person running. It doesn't seem like aligning with a relatively popular politician would "plummet" her popularity even if it means a small demographic liked her less.

Biden has not announced, and people who are not running for anything rarely if ever suffer from low approval ratings. Plus, the people who are plugged in are the ones who determine who the nominee will be, not the blithering olds who go "Oh that Joe Biden's such a nice young man, I think he should be President"

Yeah it being stupid is obvious, it's Trump. But US automakers are already starting to pull way back and Ford, the one company to not need a bailout during the last downturn, is the sickest patient this time around and has been in a bit of a death spiral for over a year now. That "we're killing all our cars" announcement has not gone well since and they're looking at big layoffs already. More broadly though, the smoke and mirrors used in recent years to keep the sales bonanza going on the back of cheap auto loan debt is long gone and every forecast, tariffs aside, was already showing a big sales slowdown looming (and already happening). This will surely hasten that, bigly.

EDIT

Mostly this is because tariffs have affected things you use to make cars too, so prices of US cars won't drop or anything, even if he also slaps tariffs on BMW and Mercedes, etc.

Uh... This might be a thing. I remember reading a few years ago about a hantavirus outbreak in southern USA (I think..?). Quick google...

"Wiki's page on Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome posted:

Prodromal symptoms are flu-like ones, such as fever, cough, myalgia, headache, lethargy, and shortness of breath, which rapidly deteriorates into acute respiratory failure. It is characterized by the sudden onset of shortness of breath with rapidly evolving pulmonary edema; it is often fatal despite mechanical ventilation and intervention with potent diuretics. It has a fatality rate of 36%.
It's not person-to-person transmissable, (usually being spread through rodent poop inhaled in dry/dusty environments) and neither the Sin Nombre outbreak or any other North American outbreaks have involved other organs failing as far as I can remember or find, but it has happened in Asia with closely related viruses of the same family.

"Wiki's page on Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome posted:

The course of the illness can be split into five phases:

Febrile phase
Symptoms include redness of cheeks and nose, fever, chills, sweaty palms, diarrhea, malaise, headaches, nausea, abdominal and back pain, respiratory problems such as the ones common in the influenza virus, as well as gastro-intestinal problems. These symptoms normally occur for three to seven days and arise about two to three weeks after exposure.
Hypotensive phase
This occurs when the blood platelet levels drop and symptoms can lead to tachycardia and hypoxemia. This phase can last for 2 days.
Oliguric phase
This phase lasts for three to seven days and is characterised by the onset of renal failure and proteinuria.
Diuretic phase
This is characterized by diuresis of three to six litres per day, which can last for a couple of days up to weeks.
Convalescent phase
This is normally when recovery occurs and symptoms begin to improve.
This syndrome can also be fatal. In some cases, it has been known to cause permanent renal failure
---
HFRS is difficult to diagnose on clinical grounds alone and serological evidence is often needed...
... HFRS should be suspected in patients with acute febrile flu-like illness, kidney failure of unknown origin and sometimes liver dysfunction
I'm sure the CDC will be loo...

... oh.

Rolabi Wizenard posted:

Are candidates talking about SC term limits too? It seems that would be a less drastic step that would result in a Court that more reflects the times, and less likely to result in retaliatory packing when the DNC runs a centrist and the youngsters lose interest in the midterms and the GOP takes it all back again.

No, because lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court are written into the Constitution*, but the size of the court is set through ordinary legislation. Term limits might be less drastic as an outcome, but the bar you need to overcome to get the change in place is unrealistically high.

*Technically, it's "during good behavior" rather than explicitly for life - but it's currently understood to mean for life barring impeachment, and if there's a disagreement, guess who gets to decide?

Giving extra pain meds to people with short term pain is, in fact, part of the problem. You don't get to call it "pedantry" that you ignored an extremely central word to the proposal.

I didn't ignore it and you're the one throwing "extra" into the mix. She's the one that used "tooth extraction" as the central example in her stupid tweet. There are tons of other longer term acute pain. 3-6 months is still considered acute.

e: Yes, I know the original tweet is about "extra" meds and I agree that over PRESCRIBING is the issue but putting a flat 7 day limit on all opioid subscriptions for acute pain is idiotic.
