Non-Compliance Is an American Virtue That Stretches Back to Abolitionism
C’mon, man. It is your American duty to comply.
My patience is wearing thin, Jack.
Pretty sure it stretches back to the Boston Tea Party, at a minimum.
You know, not all good things started with the fight against slavery. I’m getting tired of the erasure of chunks of American history.
Damn Riven, these are some good links. You’re such a nerd and that’s awesome.
+1 – Great links. At first I wasn’t into them, but now I look forward to these.
Thank you for sharing your interests, Riven. I dig these, even if I don’t game anymore.
“Parents at school board meetings have been chanting the famous phrase to protest school districts forcing their children to wear masks while attending school this upcoming semester. In Williamson County, TN, parents protested outside their children’s school building after the board voted to mandate masks in schools.”
CNN assures me those are all icky people, unlike those saintly #Resist people.
“Senator Rand Paul welcomes the phenomenon, recently writing in a Fox News op-ed, “I think the tide has turned, and more and more people are willing to stand up. I see stories from across the country of parents standing up to teacher unions and school boards. I see members of Congress refusing to comply with Petty Tyrant Pelosi.”
Nice.
IT’S A TRAP!
The president and First Lady Jill Biden visited Brookland Middle School in Washington, DC to highlight his masking and vaccination plans for school children.
For students here at Brookland, once you all get vaccinated, you’re invited to a special visit at the White House,” he said.
Some in the crowd clapped at the news as Biden continued, “I’m going to get in trouble with the Secret Service and everybody else, I’m not sure how we’ll mechanically do it.”
He said if all the children were unable to fit in one room he would take them to the Rose Garden
“Maybe let you fly the helicopters,” he said, before adding, “I’m only joking about that.”
“I’ll take you to the w-w-w-w-War Room. But remember, everything that happens in th-there is Top Secret. So you can’t tell anyone. It’ll be our little secret. No grown-ups allowed.”

Where do I sign up?!?!
robc, to respond to your comment on my post earlier:
I think what you mean is that overall, it’s a very rough approximation to use the average age of the cohort and subtract it from an expected average life span to determine remaining life span. I struggled with that, but had no way of making a better estimate short of trying to dig up actuarial information on expected life span at every age. I’m not sure I get why you say, though, that younger people have less expected years and older people more.
Less expected than you calculated for the yound. And more than you calculated for the old. When I did a similar-type calculation for an article here 1.5 years ago, I used social security life expectancy data, and chose the midpoint of each range.
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html
You will see that life expectancy it age 85 is 6 years, versus your -5 years, for example.
Ah, I see. Yeah, I didn’t go looking for that data. I was using a number from the US Census bureau that claimed an 80-year average lifespan (actually 81 for women, 79 for men).
Here are the numbers I would have used instead of the ones you did.
1-4 74.25
5-14 66.81
15-24 57.07
25-34 47.83
35-44 38.75
45-54 29.88
55-64 21.77
65-74 14.6
75-84 8.13
>=85 4.12
And I screwed it up, used male instead of averaging male/female.
But you get the idea.

I will be curious to see if there is a decline in overall death numbers in the next few years.
I suspect the Bad Cold just pulled a bunch of deaths forward.
I’m sure the after party will be a blast.
According to a Russian state media report noticed by the Telegraph late Thursday, the Taliban is “considering inaugurating its new government on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.”
The story goes on:
That report was amplified by the influential head of the RT channel and the media conglomerate that includes RIA Novosti, Margarita Simonyan, who said the symbolic date choice was deliberate.
“The inauguration of Afghanistan’s new government has been scheduled for 9/11. The Talibs are good not only at generating memes but also at trolling,” she tweeted.
I think I heard on the radio that J.B. will not be addressing the country live tomorrow, but that he’d distribute a pre-recorded speech..
The speech written before the Taliban blitzkrieged through Afghanistan. That would be humorous.
I wonder what, if anything, will happen tomorrow?
If history is any guide thousands of politicians will deliver stirring speeches praising the security state while standing atop the bodies of thousands of victims. They will also tell us why we must be equally vigilant against viruses.
The usual ceremony at ground zero is canceled, again.
AMERICA STRONG!
I’m sure it’ll be a blast as long as no one loses their head.
Unprecedented!
such blatant and sustained calls for mass civil disobedience against the government.
I hear ya. The civil rights movement should have been put down with prejudice.
Yeah, I was going to say that their choice of framing sort of torpedoed the argument they were making.

“Hi diddly ho, Portland neighborinos!
The Oregon city – which is plagued by homelessness and high crime – invoked Homer Simpson’s overly friendly neighbor Ned Flanders as the inspiration for a renamed bridge.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said that Ned is the perfect example for the city’s promotion of kindness during Monday’s ceremony to add the bushy mustachioed, church-loving character’s first name to a pedestrian bridge called Flanders Crossing.
‘Ned Flanders has been a quintessential emblem of good neighborliness for over 30 years, keeping his cool and trying his best to be a good neighbor even when confronted with his rather difficult neighbors, the Simpsons,’ Wheeler said.”

Related to Riven’s music link:

Bootsy is so funky, I wanted to go smear myself with SpeedStick.
But I was hoping for this.

Then she better earn it.

Hmm, nothing.
So seldom does the crazy make itself evident at such an early and timely point in a relationship. That guy should count his lucky stars he has been afforded this opportunity to gaze into the maw of the Lovecraftian horror and have a choice whether to step forward into it.
Get away from the blast radius. If you don’t know where the blast radius’ frontier is, just keep running.
Sounds like a little BDSM going on. In other words, a Domme setting out rules for her sub.
The kid is cultivating teeth like Steve Harvey. And her resume is: ” I was going on three Tinder dates a week to go out there and meet people,’ she said.”

Anal sex every two weeks it is then.

Running is just the start. You better hide too.
I hope the two of them are very happy together, and that I never have to think about them ever again.
He’ll sign. Someone that loony can’t hide it for two weeks. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t throughly cowed by a life spent in an education system that hates males and isn’t shy about letting them know.
Odds are very good he’s already broken, is what I’m saying.

Yup. Soyboy.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9971555/Jill-Bidens-ex-husband-claims-paid-Frank-Irishman-Sheeran-3-000-help-Joe-win-1972.html
So like the Hunter Biden story?
This stuff was known locally for years.
Then Trump should have been running ads with the proof of the misdeeds in 2018. Hard to believe Trump took the high road in that campaign but he largely did.
There is one part of this Biden plan I can’t completely argue with, and that’s making more at-home tests available. Only instead of just giving FDA approval to the test that are made here in and sold in Europe, they are ramping up manufacturing of the few tests that are approved and subsidizing them. SMDH
Yeah, if I have to test out of the prick every week I sure as hell am not dragging my ass to the hospital where I have had my previous tests done, nor standing on line outside with the riff raff near me.
You’re a lot more likely to catch an infection early if you have a stash of $3 tests in the bathroom closet. The other day we couldn’t find any home kits in stores, and we had to call multiple places to get a rapid test in a clinic. Most places have the test that has a 2-3 day turn around for results. They are saving the rapid tests for health care workers. So, a year and a half in, they’re still fucking this up.
Yep. My Spousal Unit’s cousins in The Netherlands have access to cheap rapid tests (available at local supermarkets all throughout the country).
Can you link to an example?

Anyone try microdosing?

In another notable instance of civil disobedience against COVID-19 mandates, Tesla’s Elon Musk reopened his production plant last year in defiance of the county official who had ordered that it must remain closed. “Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules,” Musk stated. “I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.”
I wonder if Musk will ignore Biden’s mandate?
Is the penaltax $14k per day or $14k per violation? Elon could certainly absorb the former.
I heard $14K per violation. I guess we’ll have to see the order first.

How does enforcement work?
Don’t Yang my chain.
Former presidential and New York mayoral candidate Andrew Yang is set to launch a third party next month, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Yang is expected to start the party in conjunction with the Oct. 5 release of his new book, “Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy.”
It’s not clear what the name of Yang’s third party will be or how he plans to deploy it in 2022 or 2024. Yang and his team did not respond to requests for comment.
But the book’s publisher, Crown, did give some clues about the type of platform Yang may pursue. It writes that the book is an indictment of America’s “era of institutional failure” and will introduce “us to the various ‘priests of the decline’ of America, including politicians whose incentives have become divorced from the people they supposedly serve.”
Everyone should be distancing themselves from the Dems right now.
Well, I guess brilliant minds think alike. But one of us could have went Yin while the other went Yang.
“Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy.”
Democracy is such a fluid term now, it can mean whatever you want it to. They should adopt other words like freedom and liberty, see how they can transform those as well.
Yang, the world’s stupidest rich Asian.
He’s not very smart if he thinks a 3rd party has a chance. He’s just arrogant.
Bet he sucks at math & driving, too.
Don’t discourage him. I think we need at least a few hundred lefty parties in competition with each other for votes.
Yet still falling way short of outdoing the stupid rich whiteys.
A third party actually kind of makes sense in New York state, given that the state has that unusual system where multiple parties can endorse the same candidate, which provides some (theoretical) leverage to minor parties.
Not the right party for me
So, I think I know where to find that party Yang is looking for. It already exists. It’s right there in Beijing and they already have all those same policies Yang likes. I bet they’d let him join right now. And you know the best thing? No one has to vote for your ideas! And if someone doesn’t like them, you just disappear them!
No way!
Interesting…4 parties is stable in a way that 3 parties arent.

I certainly agree with the sentiment “. . . spiders are objectively excellent,” ’cause they totally are.
I always tell my neighbours that complain about having lots of spiders in their basement, “You don’t have a spider infestation problem — you have a bug infestation problem. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet, and everyone’s invited.”
Jumping spiders are on my list of things that make me go. “Sqeeee.”
I tend to tolerate spiders, and will often just remove them from the house rather than kill them. But the spinybacked orbweavers we have here in FL freak me the hell out. Especially as I generally don’t notice them until they are about 1″ away from my face when I’m out mowing the yard…

Is this cunte suggesting that traveling intra/interstate is a privilege?
“There are privileges associated with being an American. That if you wish to have these privileges, you need to get vaccinated. Travel, and having the right to travel in our state, it’s not a constitutional right as far as I know to board a plane.”
Can I still drive to another state? But if any state wants to be that authoritarian, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to visit it, like ever.
That broad is an offputting piece of shit.
Who is that woman and why is she everywhere? Is she even associated with the current administration in any capacity, or is she just the go-to source when CNN and friends need the totalitarian view on some issue…?
“when CNN and friends need the totalitarian view on some issue…?”

No animal pictures for you guys today.
We went to Meteor Crater then to the gun range to do some shooting.
Far out!
You’re a great American. And Im going to bed.
Night (Day), man.
The SMOD came too soon.
Nice picture!
I was there when I was a kid. It’s impressive.
Good that you also got some shooting in.
Got to try out a .380, and put 60 rounds through an M4 on full auto.
I was surprised at how much it pulled to the right.
I have several full auto guns; you learn to control that tendency pretty quickly.
I’m a little surprised you said it pulled to the right though. I have an M4 and it usually doesn’t move much at all. Did it have some sort of special compensator on it, or maybe a flash hider that wasn’t clocked right?
I don’t know. There was some sort of muzzle device, but I didn’t get to check that closely, nor think to look.
Nice.
Also, did you get hooked on full auto? First time I fired a MG, I knew I had to find a way to own one.
I don’t know, if I had some more range time with full auto to find out…
Taliban businesslike and professional
LOL. Wut? Jeebus, so was the Mafia, but that doesn’t mean you should get into bed with them. This is by far the stupidest administration this nation has ever seen. What about the Somali pirates?, those guys should probably also be our business partners.
Do they make the trains run on time too?
A businesslike and professional government is probably confusing the hell out of our current administration.
How would they even know what such an organization looks like? It’s not like they’ve ever been in one themselves.
To a certain degree this doesn’t bother me. BS and buttering up is a part of diplomacy. It’s not unlike the “praise” that Trump gave Putin, mild as it was. The problem is that we let the Taliban grab us by the short hairs because they have hostage, er, Americans strand, er, people that we want back.
Not surprised, if they were a bunch of incompetent jagoffs they wouldn’t have run us out of the country.
Just off the phone with my counterpart down in Phoenix. My permanent position is STARS (the automation part that ATC uses to separate aircraft; old school radar scope if you need reference) security and administration. He is absolutely livid about this and is spinning his wheels. I think my first action is to tell my boss I am stepping down from management. I will not be a manager that is writing termination paperwork. This stems from because I am in a temporary non-compete, as soon as the ‘attestation’ period closes, they will do this anyway. Next I plan on staying at the technician level until they are forced to fire me.
Wife is freaked out so hopefully a night out with Neph and Girlfriend will help ease her mind a bit. We talked that maybe it is time to expand our business and get a second grooming trailer. I will drive the hired groomer around and act as onsite management (really just help and assist or sleep in the truck).
She said “you are a Sagittarian…you made up your mind as soon as the news dropped, but I love that you at least talk to me about it”
It thought most ATC ‘radars’ were basically just IFF (or whatever the civil aviation version of that is) receivers. I suppose you need something for monitoring the airspace as well…
Primary, secondary and ADSB (space/ground-based sensors). Most high-volume terminals have an Airport Surveillance Radar (some have two) and a MODES (transponder bases, Mode 3/AC). We take all that data and create a 1-second update on the scopes for controllers.
Best wishes to you. Nephilium is a good guy, I’ve hung out with him before. I’ve not met his girlfriend, but from what I see on the Zooms, she seems cool. I think you’re right, a night out with those two will help your wife.
I think your plan for your job is a good one.
I have one concern about expanding the dog grooming business: It’s a luxury that some people might cut back on when they lose their job. I have a bad feeling this upcoming bumpy road will be worse than the lockdown insanity.
Good for you.
It can feel good just making a decision. Really hope it works out for you.
I’m still gonna wait to see what our command officially send down to us. They have a history of slow-rolling this kind of thing, so I’m holding out hope. But not much.
My concern is that the one shot I’d consider (J&J) is starting to become somewhat scarce. Fortunately there is one place locally that has it still, but I’m afraid that might change.
This isn’t a new question by any means, in fact I have read at least 2 threads on Glibs about what the best one to get is, if you have to do it. If you don’t mind my asking, why do you prefer the J&J?
I broke down and got the J&J today.
Supposedly it’s not an mRNA vaccine, but more importantly, just one shot.
Well, until the booster shot…

From what?
So, assuming all that’s true, then, you could have died, but you didn’t die, like around 98% of people don’t, but you feel very grateful for not dying. Since you don’t believe in God, you need to express your thanks somewhere, so you’ll instead get on your knees and thank Big Pharma. Sounds about right.
BUT…. Once again, assuming it’s all true, well, to admit I’m morbidly obese, have a serious drinking problem is a refreshing bit of honesty — cheers and keep fighting the good fight, The Hyperbole. See you in the Choir Invisible.
I don’t mind at all.
Basically, what Ted’s said are my two main reasons as well.
I’d add that it seems like the more serious side effects for those in my demographic are from Pfizer/Moderna, but it’s REALLY hard to get clear data on that, even looking directly at VAERS.
Thanks and you too Ted. I have a lot of soul searching to do. I’m holding out hope it never makes it to the point where I have to make the call, but as they say, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

@TPTB:

He commented on something just yesterday.
Yes, that’s what concerns me!
As noted on Glibs back in June, Florida’s First District Court of Appeal shut down a county’s mask mandate in no uncertain terms.
Two weeks ago, a circuit (local) judge from Tallahassee, smack in the middle of the First District’s jurisdiction, decided that county-level school mask mandates were okey-dokey after all.
Today the DCA reasserted its authority. Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the usual suspects.

Okay, Riven, I just clicked on your Bootsy Collins link.
Possibly the best top-of-article music link I’ve seen in weeks.
10/10 Would recommend.
yep!
In case anyone was wondering:
Norway recognizes natural immunity. Even though they have gone the passport route, you can at least show a positive test and recovery and be deemed ‘protected’ for 12 months.
Sweden recognizes natural immunity. Theirs is 6months and only have to test if a doc recommends.
Denmark recognizes natural immunity.
Granted they all utilize some form of ‘passport’ but damn…we fucking suck.
I’d be calling around trying to find somebody with covid to cough on me.
Look at the difference on how it is presented:

Market opportunity for a Covid positive whorehouse?
“Best kr500.00 you ever spent.”
(No, they don’t use the euro.)
Seriously, minus their passport issue, their approach is solid. Hey you..you are 70 years old…dude, take this and stay away as much as you can from these places. Those that are not that..wash your hands, pay attention and limit your time out among large crowds. Still don’t like that but Biden could have easily implemented that instead.
I agree minus the passports. They’re more rational than us for sure.
And Denmark ended their passport scheme (which also offered a 72 hour testing option to vaccine or recovery) this week as they lifted remaining restrictions. Like that would happen here.
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m trying to put together a religious exception document for people to use when the vaccine mandates begin rolling out in earnest.
I’ve put together a preliminary outline (below). Any topics that need to be added? Any additional info to make sure to include? Anything that doesn’t belong? Your feedback will help make this actually useful for folks when the time comes.
Anything from the Swine Flu panic of the ’70s? Were there any religious discussions around that?

It’s frightening that Glibs think the USSA is here or that it is actually here?
What’s wrong with the United States Sports Academy?
USAA is here. GRONK SAY SO!
They have been great for banking, credit and my car insurance. They are still here.
Some of y’all motherfuckers need to take the white pills. The regime is weak, their victory condition (total control) is much harder to achieve than ours, and they get further up their own assholes every day.
Is that the one that makes me taller or the one that makes me shorter, cuz I would like to be taller.
It is the one that makes you are in a psychedelic dream while a pedophile rapes you.
Odd pedo going after someone my age, but to each their own. Also, I wish the term MAP was well known when Aquateen Hunger Force spoofed Dora the Explorer, would have made a great joke. Maybe it was and that’s where the ending came from.
I disagree but I hope you’re right. We’ll see I suppose. We might win but it might get very ugly in the process. I think you’re fooling yourself if you think they’re weak.
Hope you are right…
Unabashedly OT – although is mention of a great deal on fine beef ever REALLY OT other than in the context of an article about vegan cooking? – We hit the jackpot at Chez GT/TT today: TT was at Sam’s to get other stuff and thought he’d just sigh & drool over the ribeyes. Then he found a package of two that had apparently been mispriced ~$9-10/lb. lower than the others. And then he found another one. So…why not both??
We will grill steaks tomorrow to prove that the terrorists didn’t win.
I’ll drink to that. Very nice….
It’s fair time, and local grocery has deals on the animals meats they bought at the auction. I was tempted to get some good cut of steak, but I don’t feel like cooking a real meal to go with it. So I bought some more expensive per pound, but cheaper by the package ‘sandwich steak’ cuts to slice up and put in a tortilla…at some point when I get hungry. It’s sliced and marinating now.
Sounds good – and much easier prep than regular steak cuts.
But did the county fair have butter sculptures??
I didn’t go to the fair this year. But I’ve never seen such a thing. Here we eat the butter. Sculpture is for chainsaws and logs.
Found a new word today:
?
I archived the SpongeBob link to have a look merely so I could share this.
While there I noticed there was a new God of War trailer so I searched it and watched. This is my favorite game series of all time so I was really awaiting the next one. Watching the trailer I am so disappointed. Reasons:
1. They are using the same locale as the last game. I understand it’s a continuation but no 2 GoW games have ever been set in the same spot.
2. Combat looks derivative; the throwing axe and shield scheme from the last game was a breath of fresh air and truly was new and exciting. The axe is back, and the Blades of Chaos appear to be back since there was some chain-based combat. The shield in use was the exact shield from the last game.
3. Same enemies. Saw Frigga, saw trolls, saw some lizard creatures that looked a lot like the dragons from the last one. Yes there was Thor, I assume he’s the big bad.
4. Same friends. Atreus/Loki being his same moody self, the 2 dwarves that forge weapons and armor were back.
All in all, just looks like more of the same. I was hoping they would kick it up another notch.
I had also heard rumors about this one being woke as hell. In the trailer, we get to see Kratos getting his ass kicked by 95-pound Frigga. Yes she’s a goddess, but he’s a god. Then at the very end, we get some dialogue from a very young black girl with braids. In pre-historic Scandinavia. Yeah, this doesn’t bode well.
You and your fancy links!!!! https://youtu.be/2unhM-tWKQA
And just the other day I was thinking the Internet as we once knew it was dead.
I haven’t played God of War since the PS2 days. What was is it? Square, Square, Triangle? Killed all the bitches. Speaking of bitches.
Is that the one where you grab that old crusty guy by the beard and punch him in the face? Loved that one. Oh ya…Zues.
So they are going the Assassin’s Creed route and just randomly moving him through timelines?
Pretty much. I guess they figured they had done all they can with Greece. So the story is he went into exile across the sea and ended up in Scandinavia, where he settled and lived a very quiet life for many years, hence why he’s so old now, and had a son and a wife. The wife died, somehow the Norse gods figured out who he is, and decided they wanted a piece of him. They actually did a pretty good job I think blending the 2 mythologies, problem is, they are going back to that well again.
OT: Musou black/Vantablack paint is creepy and awful and scary and wrong.
Is it weird that I want some now?
I’ve long wanted a piece of Aerogel as well. I have no use for the stuff; I just want a chunk around, just because it looks like cool stuff.
The black hits some uncanny valley thing for me.
I’ve long wanted some aerogel.
Just watched a YouTube on that stuff… its insulation properties are amazing.
A chunk of gallium.
Vantablackface is creepier.
Racist.
Facist.
Hag.
None more black.
I would totally blackface myself with that paint!
Yeah, they’d try to cancel me — but they’d have to find me first!
Dick Slashballs rides a Vantablack jet ski.
lol
Heh.
Thanks trashy…really thanks!
Back from vacation. It seems that the defiers of authority out in the desert did not create a catastrophe. The bureaucracies of both the federal govt (BLM) and the private sector (Burning Man Project) have much to learn from this. I have very low expectations of them actually learning what they should.
Welcome back superspreader!
I wish you guys had just stuck to a rain dance instead of a vaccine mandate dance.
You went to the unofficial Burning Man? Good for you although are you sure you’re not still tripping and you actually died from Covid?

Not far off from the alternative media’s reporting that he was working for the US in some form or capacity as an interpreter. Doesn’t matter, narrative set, reports made, people cheered. Wash, rinse, repeat; it is the American way.
He did, just like every president since Wilson.
True…but given the mood and absolute silence on it, maybe it should be, I don’t know, elevated to the fact we bombed the shit out of a car with water and then lied about it to show ‘we did something!’. I know, it will enrage the ‘right’ and fortify the ‘left’ but fuck…if it wakes up a few more people it is worth it.
I equate this to Clinton bombing the aspirin factory after wetting his cigar.
That’s on the press, the enemy of the people but government’s gonna government so that’s to be expected.
Just say “well because we won’t make millions if we say natural immunity is viable” you fucking weasel
https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1436366439901024262
‘It’s something we have to sit down and discuss.’ Um…then why haven’t you?
I pointed out above that the Nordic…I mean Scandanavian countries all recognize immunity after a positive result. It is all bullshit all the time from our government on that.
Random musing, but what the hell is the political calculus on this mandate? They can say it’s MAGA country not getting the shot, but they have to know that a bunch of that 25% are black or young, who skew Democrat. You can write off that 25% right off the top voting for you. Then you’ve got to figure another big chunk who will go along with it, but still fundamentally object to it. Not only that, but those groups are going to be HIGHLY motivated to vote, creating a huge enthusiasm gap.
Am I missing something? I know the administration has no where else to pivot to, but this seems like a massive political loser. I don’t know how anyone could convince themselves otherwise regardless of whatever echo chamber you’re in.
There will be a de facto grievance group exemption from vaccination.
They know they have 25-30% within their own ranks that haven’t gotten it. Federal ‘attestation’ was rolled out 2-weeks ago among ‘executives’ in DC and just started at the field level…then this…
It doesn’t take much to show that even his workforce is following the public at the 30/70% rate of vax/non-vax.
Also, just anecdotally, I’m in a very blue suburb of Chicago. The first time around, the mask mandate had 100% compliance and the stores pushed decently hard to enforce it. This go around, is completely different. Still like 70% (best guess) compliance in the stores I’m in, but that’s a solid group who aren’t even showing token compliance. No staff is saying a word either. “It’s just a mask”, was obnoxious to hear, but they had a point that it takes minimal effort to comply. The fact that even token compliance is out the window for a big group in a blue area is…very interesting to me.
Full stadiums, things open, eyerolling at the CDC. The normies are fed up and it’s showing more and more.
I notice mostly 20 somethings masking more than anyone, I don’t get it,
I like fishing, but don’t like fish, that said, there is so much fishing here, when TSHTF I’ll at least eat, I’m up to 3 poles now, LuteFisk!
Just batter it and deep fry it and everyone loves it.
LM Bass, Pike, Walleye, and right now the Salmon are running, lots to try, and I got a license, they are strict.
Just wait for smelting season!
Larf!
/not a Yooper, but close,
The only fish I don’t eat battered and fried are tuna and salmon.
Shark Steak, oh Hell yes!
Looking at data, stemming from the beginning of 2021, I guess it is true.

How do you unhook a Pike? Stun it with a rock, it’s jaw slacks and you needlenose the hook out. OTOH, my Fishing guide tells a story of a guy sticking his entire hand in a Pikes mouth and it woke up, “hit it again!”
Lol
The IRS reporting of all financial transactions over $600 made the rounds, but the rest of the proposals in the Administration’s plan are just as garbage as the headliner
It’s time to start finding alternative ways to accumulate wealth, because FedGov is about to co-opt the banking system.
What do you think that might look like for the average person? I’m one of those people that’s terrible with money (getting slowly better), and finance tends to confuse me, so I honestly don’t know.
Seems like the banking system is already something of a shell game, but so long as people can get their $ out and the balances don’t actually go down, then I’m wondering what impact this sort of thing will have.
Until, you know, the “suddenly” conclusion to the “gradually” ramp-up occurs.
*notes all deposits are now under $500* Wonder how long til they pickup on Venmo and other apps like that cause that is uh…a major revenue stream for us
Statements like these “The Secretary would be given broad authority to issue regulations necessary to implement this proposal.” should never be allowed….ever.
Where da

Michigan is beautiful right now, the lighting is awesome and color approaches!

Strangely, the Dept of Ed can’t teach kids to read after 50 years but the CDC can pronounce a vaccine A-OK after a year
The Make-Me state has weighed in.
He’s in good company.
