The White House has requested more COVID funding 4 times this year, rejected each time. The latest request is for a mere $10 billion. It's foolish to spend $858 Billion on defense, and nothing on public health, when COVID is one of the biggest global security issues of our time.
As a side point why don't WA, OR and CA join together and do Cascadia universal healthcare? If the rest of the country doesn't want it at least we could do it.
*Sigh*
Most of the folks I know who got the Covid shot were sick the day after. I never did, but was kind of expecting to get sick because I got my Covid AND Flu shots at once.
I never did get sick, but one thing I do get, which I wonder if anyone else gets is that my arm aches for days and days after.
Probably didn't help that I have a new blood sugar meter in the same arm....

Did you know the speed of light is different in different mediums? The light doesn't REALLY slow down, but it keeps getting captured by water molecules and re-emitted. So, it can take a long time to move through bouncing from molecule to molecule like a bride trying to get anywhere chatting with a slew of tipsy distant relatives. In water, light actually moves about 75% the normal speed of light because of this phenomenon. The more dense, the slower light goes.
It’s been called “the single most important case on and for American democracy since the nation’s founding”—and that’s from conservative Michael Luttig of the 4th Circuit.
What exactly was argued before SCOTUS yesterday, and how did it go? I take us on a high level view of the very dangerous Moore v. Harper case and cautiously make some predictions about how the Court will rule.
