Players unable to catch a ball thrown as hard as Josh can in bad weather is one problem. That's one thing they should practice more. OL coach is another problem to me anyway.

I'm vaccinated and have never been bothered by wearing a mask. It's nice not to have a cold for the last 2 years for a change.

What's worse is monthly medicare part B increasing to to $170.10. $340.20 a month per couple due to covid cost.

If covid ,inflation and shortages don't improve huge, Republicans will win epic in 22 and maybe 24. I almost forgot crime with crazy bail and no jail time .

Covid-19 patients at this hospital are dying 'at a rate we've never seen die before' -- and it's taking a toll on health care workers "Since January, we've had about 289 deaths; 75% are unvaccinated people," Dover said. "And the very few (vaccinated people) who passed away all were more than 6 months out from their shot. So we've not had a single person who has had a booster shot die from Covid." But this week Michigan had more patients hospitalized for Covid-19 than ever before. Covid-19 hospitalizations jumped 88% in the past month, according to the Michigan Health & Hospital Association. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/09/us/hospital-covid-19-deaths-michigan/index.html

Do profitable companies like Amazon , Walmart and Starbucks lose money ? In bad years there is no profit sharing the good years make up for any bad year. If you are locked into high wages instead of profit sharing you have a problem in a down year. With so many businesses begging for workers this is the way to attract them. jmo

This would be how the Bills would look if they made it to the SB. Not having Tre is a big deal and not stopping the run. Let Edmunds cover Gronk he has the size and speed. Hope Klein is back

Very profitable companies should have profit sharing with it's workers. That would include Amazon , Walmart ....

Biden Infuriates Eastern NATO Allies With Outreach to Russia Another diplomat was more specific. The unease among the eastern flank, where countries that were once dominated by the Soviet Union now find themselves on the front lines against an aggressive Russia, centers on just what kind of concessions the talks might lead to in terms of political guarantees and curbs on NATO’s freedom of movement and its ability to carry out actions. Russia should under no circumstances be given a say in who may or may not be a member of NATO,” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said at a news conference on Thursday. Moscow’s “most worrying wish is to divide Europe into spheres of influence. We remember these kinds of moments from our own history and we are in no way naive on this issue.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/biden-infuriates-eastern-nato-allies-with-outreach-to-russia/ar-AAREl5w?ocid=msedgntp

Despite vaccines, the U.S. has lost more lives to Covid this year than last. Nov. 23, 2021 Experts say the higher death toll is a result of a confluence of factors: most crucially lower-than-needed vaccination rates, but also the relaxation of everyday precautions, like masks and social distancing, and the rise of the highly contagious Delta variant. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/24/world/united-states-death-toll-covid.html

Red States See Highest Rates of Covid Deaths “It is red America, Donald Trump-voting America, that has seen the worst effects of the pandemic. With divergent vaccination rates, with the unvaccinated population that’s most at risk being made up of Republicans at three times the rate of Democrats, that gap is poised to grow.” “If we break down monthly case and death figures by county vote in 2020, we see that Trump counties have been hardest hit by the pandemic on a per capita basis since last year. If we throw in vaccination rates, we see that it is those same counties that have been the slowest to get vaccinated.” https://politicalwire.com/2021/11/29/red-states-see-highest-rates-of-covid-deaths/ But, but black people
