OK for those not keeping up with the news... Zelenskiy started shelling the Donbas across the line of contact, brought a bunch of troops and equipment to the front line, and started huffing and puffing and make noises. So Russia brought 50,000 troops to the Ukraine/ Russian border, Lavrov had some blunt conversations with Merkel and Macron, and their top General (Gerasimov?) had a deep conversation with Mark Milley, and apparently Zelenskiy is now being urged to back down.

Another war, avoided for the time being!

Not only mine.

It will take a long time for my money to run out and become desperate.

And there's probably a couple of million people who are a lot more fond of fighting than I am too.


Seems my predictions were right about this. Didn't take long for you to jump right on board with the IDs for work, huh?

Well, I don't think "the government" is going to frog-march you into the vaccination center. It will be businesses that will require it before you can get a job, or ... anything. Not because "gubmint" told them so but because they want their customers back.

So are you and the people you claim are on your side going to burn down the nearest Walmart, or Walgreens, like Antifa/BLM?

Good luck with that.

Frankly, I don't care whether you get vaccinated or not. I got mine, and I feel fine. And safer than before. And if there are anti-vaxxers running around with their hair on fire, so what? Not my problem. Your choice. YOUR problem.

So, do you suppose we can start talking about Biden* now?

Democrats finally have a chance to remake the economy the way they've hoped for decades

For decades, Democrats and their economic advisers have agreed: broadly-shared growth requires more government investment. They've just lacked the power to invest.

The scale of his proposals reflects pent-up demand that years of thwarted ambition have produced. Actions to curb income inequality and boost middle-class wages were already at the center of Democratic debates before the last year brought them into even sharper relief.

"The pandemic just blew it all wide open," observed Cecilia Rouse, who chairs Biden's Council of Economic Advisers. "The opportunity cost of not doing anything has become extremely obvious."

The $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan Biden outlined last week was just the start. It invests in transportation, manufacturing, schools, broadband, water systems, care-giving services and energy transformation to curb climate change.

You're a hypocrite.

You have no problem with businesses raping people with a needle, but you DO have a problem with businesses curbing the freedom of speech.

Hypocrite. Just like Second.

"Raping people with a needle"?

Seriously?

How is this any different than the measles vaccine?

MEASLES is ALSO highly contagious. Just like Covid-19, there is a very small chance of actually dying from measles, and yet, the measles vaccine is required for children to attend school (at least, in CA). Your child needs a MEDICAL exemption from the vaccine, nd after the measles outbreak here in SoCal a few years a go, they got pretty serious about making sure that the medical reason passed medical muster, not just some bogus scrip written out by a friendly family doctor.

Tell me how this is different, and why you accept vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, polio etc. but not this one.

And since this is NOT being driven by the Biden* administration, tell me why we should be talking about it in this thread.

Biden Plan Spurs Fight Over What ‘Infrastructure’ Really Means

The early political and economic debate over President Biden’s $2 trillion American Jobs Plan is being dominated by a philosophical question: What does infrastructure really mean?

Mr. Biden pushed back on Monday, saying that after years of calling for infrastructure spending that included power lines, internet cables and other programs beyond transportation.
