Joe Ferguson forever

Guess who I’m thinking about

Confusing question given that wealth and income are different but here’s income: Entering the top 1% of earners requires an average annual income of $819,324. In the highest echelon — the top 0.1% — the average income is $3.3 million. The rapid wage growth for these groups is noteworthy.Jan 17, 2024 you can look up 1% wealth. Hint- it’s a lot

one more before chores. Everyone's music

He opened with this at a recent show

Same scuzzy "fine people", cast from the same shite mold and at least one who was at both https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/charlottesville-tiki-torch-carrier-pleads-guilty-jan-6-riot-case-rcna148644 ya got me😀

yes he did. there's a 20 page thread that we both posted in. Review it....oh, and now he's promising to pardon them and plays music by their chorus - not exactly a condemnation.

Cool! So Biden right. Can’t bring yourself to say it, can you?

The irony! Who won the 2020 election?

thanks for making my point. like trump, u seem to believe that if you say it often enough it becomes truth.

Even this slanted piece https://nypost.com/2024/06/20/us-news/dr-anthony-fauci-writes-covid-19-lab-leak-is-a-conspiracy-theory-in-memoir-but-told-congress-it-wasnt/ contains a link to a podcast with Gingrich about 2 weeks into finding out about the virus. While using the word "conspiracy", he also states that it's "not impossible" for the virus to have leaked from the lab but that the sequencing suggests otherwise. It's a great interview and shows the prescience of Dr Fauci early in the pandemic. Listen to it. When asked about the lab leak theory in the June 24 congressional meeting Fauci explained that the lab leak concept was not a conspiracy but he felt the surrounding allegations were. Why is it you MAGAs are so ready to dismiss trumpisms like "very fine people" and using bleach for covid but not willing to look at context from this distinguished scientist?

I guess water conservation is a culture war issue

Out of context? edited? looks pretty bad. He shouldn't be throwing stones

If you like Molly Tuttle you might like Sierra

My fav motorcycle song and version

Darrel’s probably best known for writing hits for these chicks. He also did “you’ll never leave Harlan Alive” which was the theme song for “Justified “

Molly is great. She has alopecia totalis ( is completely bald). I’ve seen her play at a couple festivals with this guy

I play badly. Not at all gifted but live in bluegrass country and still hoping some talent will rub off. So far, no.

One of my favorite discoveries.

Not guilt. I don’t feel guilty for what people did a hundred years ago and some still do today. I feel anger, sadness and embarrassment for that part of the human race. We should still be working to end racism. Instead, one party is using it as a dog whistle to promote it. Btw, if you haven’t seen “It ain’t over” about Yogi Berra, you should. He helped usher in several black ball players into the majors including Jackie Robinson. He was an amazing player, seeming great family man and was beloved by his colleagues. A life well spent. We watched it the other night on Netflix and agreed it was one of the best things we’d recently seen.

Because he doesn’t believe the origin was the lab. He could be wrong. But so far no one has proven him wrong. If he is found to be wrong, so be it. Many people we’re wrong about many things about the novel virus.

MAGA's seem to always know better...just because. Or "it's obvious" or" I researched it" often with little to no science background. And then label a large group of recognized experts experts illogical. All because they don't agree with them. Fauci is a hero of mine. He was an editor for the Infectious disease text I studied which remains the bible of ID. He is nearly universally respected and admired in the medical and scientific communities. Before Covid, most hadn't heard of him except perhaps for his work with AIDS, when he did clinical work around patients with an incurable and fatal disease. What would his motivation be to lie to us all? To make the pandemic even worse? btw, ID is one of the lowest paying medical specialties. This is not a selfish or greedy man. He's in his 80's, almost certainly financially stable. I'd guess his prime motivation is his family, followed by his legacy. I just hate that they've been hurt and it's been sullied by people that really don't know what they're talking about. What is your tie to ID, microbiology or virology? Way more knowledge here than usual.

Yup. When the dems were racist and the R's were decent people. Now it's the opposite. And you've been on the wrong side all along while we've been on the right side.

Here's what the nature article says: "n a report released last week, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) noted that the number of BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratories registered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, more than tripled between 2004 and 2008 (see chart). But this number doesn't include all such labs, because labs working with some dangerous pathogens, including those that can cause tuberculosis and severe acute respiratory syndrome, are not required to register." I can't imagine they're not being killer viruses at BLS 3 labs given there are unregistered facilities handling TB. BTW, this article has no citations so the sources can't be checked. Additionally, the author is a "reader in Science" which by my understanding is the UK version of an instructor, At any rate, 60 is more than my threshold for "a few" ... edit: Her CV is impressive although her Phd is in sociology. Still, she co authored this paper on differentiating natural from lab origins for infections. The case study on Anthrax is amazing and helped inform the decision tree presented here, which is from consensus among experts. It's how science works. https://nonproliferation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Investigating-Outbreaks.pdf
