  • Poll closed .
Mitch like Ben Shapiro are only now going pro vaccine because of a huge recent data release that is being passed around political circles. When you overlay the delta variant spread and deaths in the US with voting maps you get almost a perfect correlation with Trump voters. These days elections come down to very very small margins and the GoP already had a dying off problem.

Washington State Governor Inslee to mandate COVID vaccination for all private businesses​

I bet ol' King Andy is jealous as a mofo.

https://thepostmillennial.com/inslee-to-mandate-covid-vaccination-for-private-businesses

The Washington Department or Labor and Industries (L&I) filed an emergency rulemaking package last week extending emergency powers to Democrat Governor Jay Inslee. This package, which is an extension of current mandates, grants Inslee the ability to enforce COVID vaccine mandates on all private businesses in the state of Washington, according to elected officials.

Kentucky has already went from a one point favorite to -2, need you to call this one early this week.
This one is tough to call because Mississippi State has been all over the place this year. They beat A&M, got throttled by Bama, lost to Memphis but beat NC State by 14.

Seems they play to their level of competition in every game with the exception of Bama (and Vandy but they’re just the worst).

That said, assuming we have no injuries this week and the TE from UGA didn’t transfer to Miss St, I really like our team.

Take the Cats.
 
Just like the flu ... interesting comment.

 
I'm sure Fairfax will "find" 100k votes or so at 3 am all marked for Macauliffe.

So, the story is that Fairfax is going to report its mail in votes first. This is perhaps just a way to throw off the scent from where the real theatrics will occur.

Of note, schools in Richmond are going to be closed all week next week (just announced), leading some to speculate that the funny business will occur there.

A blow to the go green people?

A mid-priced internal combustion car that gets 33 miles per gallon would cost $8.58 in overall costs to drive 100 miles at $2.81 a gallon, the study found. But a mid-priced EV, such as Chevrolet Bolt, Nissan Leaf or a Tesla Model 3, would cost $12.95 to drive 100 miles in terms of costs that include recharging the vehicle using mostly a commercial charger.

"Electric car charging cost vs. gas: Study shows EVs still cost more" https://amp.freep.com/amp/6110815001


While this is just showing the costs from charging out in public, it still looks bad for those that choose to fight against using gasoline powered vehicles. Of course things might change with the rapid increase of gas prices. The conspiracy nut in me would think they purposely want the gas prices to rise to the point it gets more people forced to go electric.

A big negative for that is the added cost to charge at home. You will have the increase in your electric bill to go with the cost of the chargers. If you get the level 1 charger at $600, it takes over 20 hours to charge. Who has time for that? The level 2 charger costs $1600 due to an electrician being required. It charges within a few hours. So now you have to come up with that added expense (unless they can bundle it into the car loan).

In the future they will end up seeing that going green just ended up hurting the planet in other ways. From the mining of lithium to the toxic batteries that will probably end up leaking into the ground at junkyards and end up finding their way into our water supply.
Not necessarily true (at least with the Tesla). Tesla comes with a charger, you can also buy a $35 adapter to plug into a 240 outlet and that can get you 30+ miles an hour per charge.

Also if you set it to charge during your non peak hours for your electricity, it is very very cheap. Much cheaper than any gas car out there.

Now with that said, I’m a big fan of Tesla’s and have a Tesla currently on order. But I didn’t order mine because of it being green. The amount of energy it takes to mine for the materials for the batteries and the fact the batteries aren’t recyclable, they aren’t really any cleaner for the environment than a normal car. I got my Tesla because I think they look nice, unbelievably fast, I don’t have to waste time at gas stations and far less maintenance with them (no oil and stuff like that), and the cheaper dollar per mile to drive them (when charged at home and not at a supercharger).

But yes the idiots who get electric cars and think they’re saving the environment are unbelievably dumb and ignorant.
 
Looks like Coke is the next in line. Just for shits and giggles, guess whose CEO was elected to the Pfizer board of directors in FEB 2020.

Coke offers $2,000 to employees who follow new vaccination requirement​


https://www.ajc.com/news/business/c...ation-requirement/5622KP7DZNDKHA53F4WTSYKPEI/

Coca-Cola has told its U.S. employees the company must comply with new COVID-19 vaccination requirements for federal contractors.

But the Atlanta-based beverage giant is offering a carrot: $2,000 one-time bonuses to each fully vaccinated staffer as well as those who receive medical or religious exemptions by the government’s Dec. 8 deadline.

Coke said it sells and markets beverages in national parks, museums, government building cafeterias and U.S. military bases. A company spokesman declined to comment on how much of Coke’s business is tied to the federal government or what will happen to employees who refuse to comply.

On Friday, Coke notified employees that it is “partnering with employees to comply and recognizing medical and religious exemptions in line with the law. If for any unforeseen reasons, employees are unable to meet the December 8 timeframe, they have the ability to contact their HR partners.”
It is not clear what percentage of the company’s 8,500 U.S. employees — about 4,000 of whom are in metro Atlanta — are vaccinated.

The teachers are going to be out campaigning for their master, McAulliffe.
 
Worth a revisit ...

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a Dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
 
Um they are. This isn’t news. It’s entertainment and propaganda. Even if you were dumb af and couldn’t tell that media is filled with Dems promoting Dems, burying their scandals, campaigning for them while being hostile toward Republicans, you can just read the DNC leaks which showed the coordination between media and Dems.
