13.4% of US is black all ages. They are not the biggest unvaccinated group.
I clearly said you are blaming the vast majority of black people, not that blacks are the majority of non vaccinated. Your stat is not applicable to my comment.

And where does this quote come from?
Sorry that is key- Nikole Hannah-Jones who is the person who produced the 1619 project.

Not just mortality but long term damage from covid survivors for some. I still blame unvaccinated those over 12 for this terrible problem continuing .
Why are you blaming 75% of black people?

I would agree with the teachers and politicians on both sides of the aisle. I just looked at the Buffalo schools 1619 initiative. It teaches history. Not CRT, history. And history that I never got when I was a kid. Slavery is unfortunately a part of our history.
I’ve always said that the 1619 Project is not a history. It is a work of journalism that explicitly seeks to challenge the national narrative and, therefore, the national memory. The project has always been as much about the present as it is the past.”
I think this quote shows it is not a history.

It is not that it is not real, it is that it is not being taught in the curriculum of the secondary schools that I know of.
If you mean it is not the primary ciriculuum for most of the country that is correct, but it should not be allowed to ever be used. Buffalo is going to be teaching there children many things that are not true based on the choices they made. This is the other side of the old history books that discussed how wonderful life was for slaves, no more accurate

No. We have an ex-teacher invading our local high school calling for parents to go after teachers by name because they have signs in their classrooms saying you have to wear masks (note: these are from last year, teachers haven’t come back yet). A guy showed up at a school board meeting and a loaded gun fell out of his pocket. And it’s all because of this manufactured CRT nonsense; it has started nonsense not just limited to CRT.
The district is not teaching CRT. They have no plans to do so. They have said this repeatedly. But some parents egged on by this quasi-organization led by some lawyer in Chicago keep on this because they want to use kids to play politics.Your question of what if it were true is misplaced. It’s not true, bottom line. If there were something as a parent I found wrong, I’d do what I’ve done a couple times. Request a meeting with the teacher, then theoretically the principal, then the superintendent, and then the school board if I felt I needed to. And only one time did I not get a satisfactory answer from a parent and have to have an associate principal get involved.
Your comment that CRT is not real is stupid, and I don't use it lightly. Buffalo city schools adopted the 1619 project as the basis for their history ciriculuum, which is not history but a narrative. It might not be that widespread but it is a problem that was becoming worse and now is being stopped in it's track. As for the parents that are using their kids as political pawns, I don't respect them but when I am told math is racist roots- which I have been told - I get pissed at intentional ignorance.

We’ve been waiting for proof as to what makes this Jim Crow on steroids for months now. Talk about being upstaged.I think he was discussing the principal in Atlanta who was segregating her kids based on race. Correct city, correct problem, wrong people causing problem.

I think Wilson is in the worst situation, so I doubt he survives enough to be good. Mac is in a good situation but lacks ability. Lawrence and Lance will be good but not hall of Fame good. Fields I don't want to predict because my biggest insult of him is he went to OSU and all their QBs suck as pro.

In N Out burger is a privately held company with centralized distribution centers. They only enter markets that they feel they can place dozens of restaurants in at a minimum. If they could figure out a way to set up shop in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo at once it could happen but there business model is similar to Wegmans, never find one all by its lonesome.

All of our deaths happened in beginning before we knew how to treat it. It’s been a flat line ever since.
We knew since early March 2020 it was worst for the elderly, so while we did not know how to treat it we knew who to protect, which is why FL has so many less deaths per Capita despite having more in the age range of danger. You simply killed all of the high risk people as fast as possible

It is nice to have at least a few positions where we will have to cut quality players vs 6 years ago we were watching other teams to cuts to figure who we could poach. Only place I am real nervous is DBs, any injuries and I don't know anything about the next guy back there

So now we’re quoting anonymous posters on some forum who are trying to evade getting banned by doing cute things like writing [VX] to frustrate the anti-vax search algorithms.
So now you want to ban someone for disagreeing with you? At least you are open about it.

Whatever man...I’m not gonna go round in circles with you when you refuse to stay on topic...
If you wanna talk Florida and Texas governors, start a thread and we will talk there about it...
Otherwise, you don’t appear to have anything substantive to say on this topic, unfortunately...
Billstime is one of three guys I have on block because he will lie about you if you prove how dumb he is, not worth the time.

Just now, Backintheday544 said:
its the constitution. I didn’t create the problem the 12th amendment did.Do you really think Trump will move out of Mar-A-Largo vs just picking a different running mate?
Do you think they will not have a plan before being on the same ticket? The original scenario was them on same ticket, the second scenario requires them not to be on same ticket. This is the definition of mutually exclusive events and you need them to both happen to make this conversation work.

The NY Times just flat out hates science and so do the people behind this study timed perfectly for back to school:
I just came here to say this, when the information is readily available from many place across the country that did not require masks this study is propaganda not science.

It could. But a couple issues: 1) it would restrict how much Trump could go to Mar-A-Largo, he won’t like that, 2) if Trumps forced to move it makes him look even more like a beta, especially moving an not having his VP move, 3) I thought Republicans didn’t like when politicians move states just for politics like Hilary moving to NY?Honestly I think 1 keeps a Trump-DeSantis from happening. This isn’t like Bush-Chaney where Chaney moved to Wyoming.
You are a tool- you came up with a scenario, created the problem, when problem was easily solved with 12 seconds of thought you created a problem that is in direct opposition to your original scenario.

Just changing your mailing address doesn’t change your residency though. He would actually need to move out of Mar-A-Largo and whatever residency laws are in such state that he moves to and that 0 percent Florida state tax.A superficial move wouldn’t change his residency.
As Trump too, it's pretty known where he is:
We all know Florida is his desired location as seen from the above graph.
He could move to Texas, and all problems solved. You are pretending like all of this would not be worked out before they got together for the ticket.

This is why no one believes the experts anymore. You can read the whole article but this line is a complete lie.
"Offit had particularly strong words for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for his school mask moratorium. “The governor of Florida has served as a friend of SARS-CoV-2 virus," he sad. “For children less than 12 years of age, the only chance they have of avoiding this virus is to mask. That’s it.”

Yes please! The Dems automatically would win Florida in that case, which means the election as well.If you actually read the constitution, 12th Amendment:
“The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”
So the Florida electors could not select a Trump-Desantis ticket unless Trump was willing to move his residence.
You are correct but seeing as Trump has multiple properties all over the country he can just change his address and the problem is solved. It was put in to ensure that there was not a situation where each state picked there own and we had the winner just be from the biggest state.

It is amazing right now to live in FL where my superintendent (Orange County) is fighting with my governor about masks for kids. The majority of the counties last year in Florida did not have mandatory masking and we had no large outbreaks. Making it mandatory for kids to wear mask is nothing except political theatre, and leads to articles like this.
https://today.duke.edu/2021/06/research-finds-masks-can-prevent-covid-19-transmission-schools
Which has the line a way down in the article-We don’t have data from within North Carolina as to whether or not, in school in K-12, what happens when children are not masked- or in other words since they are pro mask they simply showed that masks don't hurt the spread of Covid.

Oh no…this editorialized sentence from the article is a BLATANT lie: “Like all other data on the reef, this shows it is in robust health.”
For starters, coral growth rates and coral cover percentages don’t tell us anything about the species composition of the newly formed coral. As an extreme example, imagine that every other coral species but one could be dying off, but that one randomly well-adapted species could be spreading like wildfire. This would definitely not indicate that the overall reef biome is in good health, bearing in mind the complex interdependencies of all the highly diverse members typically occupying coral reef ecosystems.
Coral bleaching data is BY FAR the most important indicator of coral reef health, but discussion of it in the article excerpt is conspicuously absent.
While localized ocean current temperatures around the Great Barrier Reef may vary in any given season like weather does above any region of land, we know for sure that global mean ocean temperatures are continuously rising. We also know for sure that rising ocean temperatures threaten coral life in coral reefs everywhere. This is a basic principle of coral fauna. The coral of the Great Barrier Reef are no exception.
Basically, not a single credible oceanographer or marine biologist on this planet would disagree with the information I provided above. Anyone telling people not to worry about the vitality of coral reefs this century has been propagandized by the fossil fuel industry. It is unfortunate that other countries like Australia are also victims of this propaganda.
Well done of proving that the initial alarm was very likely poorly done research. Kay if you can't predict the future it is not good science. If I keep predicting collapse and it grows then I am missing something large. Also making huge predictions based on 30 years of data for a structure that is thousand of years old seems foolish.

This situation is absurd now. The only way you could believe he was saying the bad word is if you believed it without evidence. If you have decent speakers listen to the video, he clearly starts with the D sound and has the N in the middle of the word. Which does take into account that he is looking at the mascot while yelling. Also no reaction from anyone at the stadium, including all of on field personnel 15 feet in front of him.

Those returns aren't guaranteed in the future though. That includes the most diverse mutual and bond funds. Also, imo the people that have to rely on social security as their sole means of surviving are the least likely to make wise investment decisions if given private retirement accounts.
I did not include the article but the way it was described was banks or investment firms bid for their money and guaranteed a decent return every set of years

So… 90% of those eligible in My county are vaxxed and my governor is a republican.
Racist fascist? Boy you’d hate to see the team I’ve hired into my company. Narrative shattering. In fact I promise I’ve done more to drive diversity in the workplace in 5 years than you have in your life. Additionally I’ve personally driven hiring decisions that resulted in immigration against HR advisement.
dug in about what, because a conservative governor made some good points about government policy that isn’t helping pandemic containment?
Governor has to say those things because all of his policies are devastating to the inner city black communities.

My next question is how many of the children are here illegally? What were their living conditions prior to getting ill? Nothing is being reported on how to fix the problem except getting a vaccine that we are now finding out last 6 months or less.
