• No Plan like Biden's Plan

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to All on Thursday, February 11, 2021 13:41:48
    Lots of people were trashing Trump's handling of the pandemic by saying "He never had a plan!"

    Biden's been president for 4 weeks, but I don't see him closing any international travel - in fact, he's made international travel to the USA easier than ever before, and visas are no longer needed.

    Is Biden's CDC suggesting that the best way to fight covid is to rip open the border?

    open the border?

    Newsflash: COVID is already here, running rampant. Trump's efforts to close
    the borders did nothing to prevent that, and closing them now will neither
    fix nor reduce the problem. Closing the borders is, as always, a solution in search of a problem.

    Ok. But what's Joe's plan? He was critical of Trump when campaigning. "Trump don't have a plan, he never had a plan, and he never will have a plan."

    But after all that plan talk, Joe has no plan to help Americans recover from the pandemic either. More money has never been a good plan but all Joe can do so far is pass more of it around, this time with billions designated to rogue governments that send toddlers swimming across the Rio Grande.

    It's the best plan, the greatest plan the world has ever seen, the most brilliant plan ever planned by anyone in the history of mankind. No one has ever had a plan like this. And you'll get to see it, you will. And when you
    see it, you'll love it, it's that great. Some people say it's a genius plan. One medical official, whose name is not important, came up to Biden and said, "Sir! This is the plan that will save America!" He really did. It's that
    good, you'll see. You'll see.

    But seriously, Biden's plan is at: http://whitehoue.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/National-Strategy-for-the-COVID -19-Response-and-Pandemic-Preparedness.pdf

    Executive Summary:
    Goal 1: Restore trust with the American people
    Goal 2: Mount a safe, effective, comprehensive vaccination campaign
    Goal 3: Mitigate spread through expanding masking, testing, treatment, data,
    workforce, and clear public health standards
    Goal 4: Immediately expand emergency relief and exercise the Defense
    Production Act
    Goal 5: Safely reopen schools, businesses, and travel, while protecting
    workers
    Goal 6: Protect those most at risk and advance equity, including across racial,
    ethnic, and rural/urban lines
    Goal 7: Restore U.S. leadership globally and build better preparedness for
    future threats

    What was Trump's plan again?

    He said he had a plan as part of his campaign. So far, I am not seeing
    much of a difference in how things are working yet. Pretty much the same
    in this part of the US. Sounds like other areas are still encountering the same challenges.

    Based on another user's response to you, his plan sounds mostly like
    something that is supposed to make us feel good about what is going on and
    to feel like he is doing something when really the end result for the individual is that we need to continue doing what we are doing... unless we
    are one of those who doesn't like social distancing or won't wear a mask.

    The mask mandate only covers Federal property and, for the most part, was already being observed in most places that were not closed.

    That's more right wing misinformation.

    Many people called Donald Trump a racist but it wasn't because he closed the border. I think most people agreed with the border closure, around the coronavirus.

    According to that article there are 3 parts to Joe's "plan:"
    1) Mask Mandate - Joe has mandated masks on federal property which protects Joe and Hunter and Nancy Pelosi but not many other people. Do you know what is meant by federal property?

    2) Return to the WHO - We actually never even left the WHO. Trump cancelled a renewal which was to take place later this year, and Biden cancelled the cancellation.

    3) Biden created a new job called "Covid-19 response coordinator" so some other guy with no plan (Jeff Zients) can be held accountable for Joe not having a plan either.

    I'm not trying to be negative or pessmistic, but Joe bragged about having a plan and he complained about Trump not having one, now, like clockwork, Joe's plan is 99% gimmick, but the White House is a safer place than ever before.

    But most of those things were already in place before Biden came along. What kind of a "plan" for covid-19 was he talking about? A plan to squander taxpayer money? That's only plan I see him having that Trump didn't have.

    Have you been vacinated?

    No. Andrew Cuomo said not to trust a vaccine approved by the FDA until the NY DOH reviews it first. So far, we have no report from the NY DOH about the safety or effectiveness of any Trump2020 vaccine.

    Plus I'm not eligible, and plus a prominent spiritual advisor has advised against the vaccine.

    Does your state let non-elites have the vaccine?

    That plan partially mimics the Trump response, but it still sucks!

    1) Restore trust? Who doesn't trust who? That's priority #1??
    2) Safe & effective vaccine? Haven't seen one like that yet.
    3) Mitigate spread through masking - been doing that since the Trump days
    4) Congress already approved Trump's Defense Production Act a long time ago
    5) Safely reopen - Trump safely reopened plenty of stuff already
    6) Protect those most at risk - Hopefully it's still on Joe's bucket list
    7) Restore US leadership - Well done - cancelled the cancellation with the WHO

    So if that's Joe's plan, he has done a great job with cancelling the cancellation of the WHO, but the rest of those goals haven't been reached yet and they all sound pretty gimmicky to me, and I don't think people will care when or if those goals are ever achieved. Let's pass more money around - nothing kills covid better than taxpayer money.

    It's a goal.

    And it needs to continue.

    4) Congress already approved Trump's Defense Production Act a long time ago
    The Defense Production Act isn't Trump's. It's something that Trump invoked, and that Biden intends to invoke as well. That it's invoked, and what it's invoked for, are two different things.

    5) Safely reopen - Trump safely reopened plenty of stuff already
    Safely, though? And was it Trump, or the governors?

    6) Protect those most at risk - Hopefully it's still on Joe's bucket
    list
    It made the list, didn't it?

    7) Restore US leadership - Well done - cancelled the cancellation with the WHO

    Of course they haven't been reached yet, that's why they're still goals. Did you really expect Biden to have the COVID mess left by Trump eradicated in
    one month? While I certainly applaud your optimism for the Biden presidency,
    I don't thing that's very realistic.

    At least Biden has a plan, with goals. Trump had nothing.

    A plan is better than rhetoric about "the best health care plan America has ever seen."

    1) Mask Mandate - Joe has mandated masks on federal property which protects Joe and Hunter and Nancy Pelosi but not many other people. Do you know what is meant by federal property?

    This makes perfectly good sense. The federal government is the largest employer in the United States. Requiring your employees who must be in the office or onsite ensure those offices can remain open. Helping to prevent further spread of the virus is the right approach.

    2) Return to the WHO - We actually never even left the WHO. Trump cancelled a renewal which was to take place later this year, and Biden cancelled the cancellation.

    Donald Trump requested the United States be withdrawn from the WHO on May 29, 2020. On July 6, 2020, the US administration formally notified the UN Secretary-General of its intention. This was a "cancelation" of the agreement.

    3) Biden created a new job called "Covid-19 response coordinator" so some other guy with no plan (Jeff Zients) can be held accountable for Joe not having a plan either.

    I'd rather have someone in the Federal government try something than do nothing. Trump's response was abismal.

    I'm not trying to be negative or pessmistic, but Joe bragged about having a plan and he complained about Trump not having one, now, like clockwork, Joe's plan is 99% gimmick, but the White House is a safer place than ever before.

    Find the gimmick? When you do, let me know. I'm happy to discuss each point with you ad nauseum.

    That's how I see it too. People who didn't like Trump didn't listen to him, and now they're listening to Joe Biden say the same stuff and it sounds original to them.

    What was Trump's plan?

    He had a COVID Task Force, which was a good start. But then Pence started getting too much media attention and Trump took over the briefings. When members of the task force disagreed publicly with Trump, the task force ceased to be a thing. Incidentally, I don't recall the task force coming up with a plan, either.

    Another part of Trump's "plan" was to downplay the numbers as much as
    possible, from leaving COVID-inflicted passengers at sea because "I don't
    need to have the numbers double because of one ship" to arguing that
    increased testing leads to an increased number of cases.

    Yet another part of Trump's "plan" was constantly shifting the blame
    for the poor response, whether it be to Democrats, or Fauci, or the states, or China, or the WHO.

    A particularly infamous part of Trump's plan involved bleach and light.

    Trump did close the border with China... mostly. Americans in China could
    still return home. (And he did this by executive order, not via Congress.)

    Trump's "plan" did not include wearing masks. He refused to wear one in public and said they made people appear weak. His supporters ate this up, making
    this more of an anti-plan.

    Trump's "plan" also included lying repeatedly about the severity of COVID, leading his followers to believe it no worse than the flu (or a cold) and
    even doubt its existence altogether. Since this also caused people to not
    take the precautions seriously, this was also more of an anti-plan.

    Trump's "plan" did not involve safely reopening anything. It was all or nothing. Either the economy was completely shut down or everything was wide open.

    Aside from what you mentioned Joe Biden is also getting the vaccine distributed. Trump failed in that regard also.

    It seems he was "busy" with other things.

    3) Biden created a new job called "Covid-19 response coordinator" so some other guy with no plan (Jeff Zients) can be held accountable for Joe not having a plan either.

    I would have expected nothing less. Joe has many things to do so I'm not surprised he has others working on the issue with him. I'm sure it goes beyond Jeff Zients.

    I'm not trying to be negative or pessmistic, but Joe bragged about having a plan

    Indeed he did and he has now gotten that plan underway.

    and he complained about Trump not having one,

    So did a lot of people. You know why? Because he had no plan.

    but the White House is a safer place than ever before.

    I guess it is. Quite a few were infected in the Trump white house.

    but my group's turn hasn't come up yet. Probably won't until Summer.

    Not sure what you mean by "local level thing". The CDC has published
    the priority levels.

    By that time, we should know if it even matters or not.

    Why wouldn't it matter?

    On 02-12-21 11:39, Aaron Thomas <=-
    spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: No Plan like Biden's <=-

    The best way to fight covid is to have a national
    vacination plan, plus other measures such as contact tracing, masks and social distancing.

    But most of those things were already in place before Biden came
    along. What kind of a "plan" for covid-19 was he talking about?

    There was no national vacination plan under Trump, nor any sort of
    national guidance that he did not contradict by his actions. He
    routinely ignored masking, and his loyal public followed his example.
    He ignored social distancing -- sponsoring crowded rallies.

    Have you been vacinated?

    No. Andrew Cuomo said not to trust a vaccine approved by the FDA until
    the NY DOH reviews it first.

    I suspect that Cuomo's statement was more a "don't trust Trump" rather
    than don't trust the FDA. He was perhaps concerned that Trump would
    subvert the FDA the way that he had done to the CDC in order to have
    them put out a vacination approval without proper procedures.

    So far, we have no report from the NY DOH
    about the safety or effectiveness of any Trump2020 vaccine.

    A simple search shows that Cuomo has opened up vacination sites and
    given instructions as to how to sign up, depending on your priority
    group.

    Plus I'm not eligible,

    Everyone is eligible -- but there are priority groups as issued by the
    CDC. Do you know which group you are in?

    and plus a prominent spiritual advisor has advised against the vaccine.

    Who might that be? What scientific study did they use to advise against
    the vacine?

    Does your state let non-elites have the vaccine?

    I do not know what you mean by non-elites. I am in a higher priority
    group and recieved my second dose earlier this week.

    On 11 Feb 2021, Aaron Thomas said the following...
    Ok. But what's Joe's plan? He was critical of Trump when campaigning. "Trump don't have a plan, he never had a plan, and he never will have a plan."

    It's the best plan, the greatest plan the world has ever seen, the most brilliant plan ever planned by anyone in the history of mankind. No one has ever had a plan like this. And you'll get to see it, you will. And when you see it, you'll love it, it's that great. Some people say it's
    a genius plan. One medical official, whose name is not important, came
    up to Biden and said, "Sir! This is the plan that will save America!"
    He really did. It's that good, you'll see. You'll see.

    But seriously, Biden's plan is at: http://whitehoue.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/National-Strategy-for-th e-COVID
    -19-Response-and-Pandemic-Preparedness.pdf

    Executive Summary:
    Goal 1: Restore trust with the American people
    Goal 2: Mount a safe, effective, comprehensive vaccination campaign
    Goal 3: Mitigate spread through expanding masking, testing, treatment, data,
    workforce, and clear public health standards
    Goal 4: Immediately expand emergency relief and exercise the Defense
    Production Act
    Goal 5: Safely reopen schools, businesses, and travel, while protecting
    workers
    Goal 6: Protect those most at risk and advance equity, including across racial,
    ethnic, and rural/urban lines
    Goal 7: Restore U.S. leadership globally and build better preparedness
    for
    future threats

    What was Trump's plan again?

    Biden's been president for 4 weeks, but I don't see him closing any international travel - in fact, he's made international travel to the USA easier than ever before, and visas are no longer needed.

    He said he had a plan as part of his campaign. So far, I am not seeing much of a difference in how things are working yet. Pretty much the
    same in this part of the US. Sounds like other areas are still encountering the same challenges.

    That's what happens when you ignore verifiable facts, sources, and resources. You don't see things.

    Based on another user's response to you, his plan sounds mostly like something that is supposed to make us feel good about what is going on
    and to feel like he is doing something when really the end result for
    the individual is that we need to continue doing what we are doing... unless we are one of those who doesn't like social distancing or won't wear a mask.

    And that's what happens when you don't have enough knowledge about something to fully comprehend it, but believe you do.

    Are you for real? Joe Biden put his plan into action on day one. Perhaps you missed it?

    The mask mandate only covers Federal property and, for the most part,
    was already being observed in most places that were not closed.


    https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/National-Strategy-for-the

    -COVID-19-Response-and-Pandemic-Preparedness.pdf

    Most of us have seen no difference between what was being done and what
    is being done. Making what is already being done official does not
    make it a bright new idea.

    Well, the reason your area, mine, and the rest of America is still struggling to make headway with the virus is because of anit-vaxxers and anti-maskers, so.....

    Is Biden's CDC suggesting that the best way to fight covid is to rip open the border?

    No. What he is saying is that it does no good to close the barn door
    when the horse is already outside. In other words, Covid and varients
    are already here. The best way to fight covid is to have a national vacination plan, plus other measures such as contact tracing, masks and social distancing.

    But most of those things were already in place before Biden came along. What kind of a "plan" for covid-19 was he talking about? A plan to squander taxpayer money? That's only plan I see him having that Trump didn't have.

    That's purely false, and I suspect you actually know it.

    Have you been vacinated?

    No. Andrew Cuomo said not to trust a vaccine approved by the FDA until
    the NY DOH reviews it first. So far, we have no report from the NY DOH about the safety or effectiveness of any Trump2020 vaccine.

    Plus I'm not eligible, and plus a prominent spiritual advisor has
    advised against the vaccine.

    Spend two full snetences claiming the governor told you not to get the vaccine, but you aren't even able to get it yet. LOL

    Does your state let non-elites have the vaccine?

    The minute you hear "Elites", you know where this is heading.

    Elite (whoever that's supposed to mean), poor, any skin color, any religion, any political affiliation.... everyone can get it as soon as their group is eligible. Same for you and where you live. How do you not know this?

    That plan partially mimics the Trump response, but it still sucks!

    1) Restore trust? Who doesn't trust who? That's priority #1??
    2) Safe & effective vaccine? Haven't seen one like that yet.
    3) Mitigate spread through masking - been doing that since the Trump
    days 4) Congress already approved Trump's Defense Production Act a long time ago 5) Safely reopen - Trump safely reopened plenty of stuff
    already 6) Protect those most at risk - Hopefully it's still on Joe's bucket list 7) Restore US leadership - Well done - cancelled the cancellation with the WHO

    So if that's Joe's plan, he has done a great job with cancelling the cancellation of the WHO, but the rest of those goals haven't been
    reached yet and they all sound pretty gimmicky to me, and I don't think people will care when or if those goals are ever achieved. Let's pass
    more money around - nothing kills covid better than taxpayer money.

    Spoken like someone who got their economics, virology, and epidemiology degrees from Youtube University.

    At least Biden has a plan, with goals. Trump had nothing.

    Trump had all the same goals as Biden plus more. Trump launched Operation Warp Speed, and even Biden praised Trump for it while he injected the vaccine.

    There are 80 year old US military veterans who are not yet eligible for the vaccine - but Biden got his - even Kamala got hers, but our veterans are
    lying down in nursing homes wishing that Biden was serious when he said he had a plan - but he let them down. He let everyone down, except for the
    brainwashed zombies who are still under CNN's hypnosis.

    This makes perfectly good sense. The federal government is the largest employer in the United States. Requiring your employees who must be in

    Before Joe assaulted his way into the white house, masks were already required at all federal buildings! The only thing different now is that the sign on the door is backed by law.

    I'd rather have someone in the Federal government try something than do nothing. Trump's response was abismal.

    Who's trying anything that Trump didn't try? How was Trump's response abismal? His response was pepto for me.

    Find the gimmick? When you do, let me know. I'm happy to discuss each point with you ad nauseum.

    Everything Joe says is a gimmick:
    "Unite the country"
    "Blacks vote for Joe Biden or they ain't black"
    "Trump didn't have a plan but my plan is the same as his agenda."
    "My running mate will be a black female who uses herbal essences shampoo." "Sending billions to rogue regimes will keep their people from coming to USA." "Hunter scandal? That's been debunked."
    "I was VP to the country's first black president."
    "I was a civil rights activist."
    "I don't want my kids going to school in a racial jungle."
    "Best shrimp in town."

    What was Trump's plan?

    Follow CDC guidelines (masks, social distancing, hand-washing)
    Let states be states (governors make the rules)
    Taking ventilators from states with extra to states with shortages
    Operation Warp Speed
    (More stuff that I don't remember.)

    I think you knew this already though. Right?

    ceased to be a thing. Incidentally, I don't recall the task force coming up with a plan, either.

    I told you about Trump's plan, but I'm not sure if he ever called it "a plan." He probably called it "an agenda" or "a mission" but you're catching him on a technicality like Rain Man counting toothpicks. If only Trump had called his agenda "A plan" then people would complain "He had no agenda!"

    Another part of Trump's "plan" was to downplay the numbers as much as possible, from leaving COVID-inflicted passengers at sea because "I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship" to arguing that increased testing leads to an increased number of cases.

    Those people should have stayed on the ship! Didn't we want Trump to close the borders after we got done calling him a racist for wanting to close borders? Now we're calling him culpable for keeping covid out of our mainland?

    A particularly infamous part of Trump's plan involved bleach and light.

    Keep on drinking it - you've got to do it in full sun ;)

    Trump's "plan" did not include wearing masks. He refused to wear one in public and said they made people appear weak. His supporters ate this
    up, making this more of an anti-plan.

    I never saw Trump refuse to wear a mask. How hard is it to take a photo of Trump not wearing a mask and then hold it up and say "Look, Trump REFUSES to wear a mask in public!?"

    Trump's "plan" also included lying repeatedly about the severity of
    COVID, leading his followers to believe it no worse than the flu (or a cold) and even doubt its existence altogether. Since this also caused people to not take the precautions seriously, this was also more of an anti-plan.

    Plans are over rated.

    Trump's "plan" did not involve safely reopening anything. It was all or nothing. Either the economy was completely shut down or everything was wide open.

    Vague and wrong! Do you remember "essential businesses only?"

    Aside from what you mentioned Joe Biden is also getting the vaccine distributed. Trump failed in that regard also.

    That's hilarious! Trump executed Operation Warp Speed. Amazon wouldn't distribute the vaccine because they wanted to hurt Trump. Now that Biden's in office, they are willing to assist.

    So did a lot of people. You know why? Because he had no plan.

    Cuomo, like other Democrats, was going off the rails of a covid train. They enjoyed closing stuff down and angering people who would then vote against Republicans for stuff that Democrats did.

    Who might that be? What scientific study did they use to advise against the vacine?

    Spiritual advisors don't use scientific studies, but they get credit for being correct in previous predictions. This is the same person who predicted the pandemic. Democrats don't believe in spiritual advisors or psychics because they predict things that are inconvenient for Democrats.

    Stuff is different in different states. I have a governor who don't want

    Nope. Trump refused to wear a mask in public, and made fun of Biden for

    Let states be states (governors make the rules)
    Ok, but any actions by the governors are not part of Trump's plan/agenda/whatever. He isn't to blame for any of their failures, but nor
    can he take credit for their successes.

    Taking ventilators from states with extra to states with shortages
    What happened to "let states be states?"

    Operation Warp Speed
    Yes, he did do that.

    (More stuff that I don't remember.)
    Interesting.

    Trump dragged his feet for as long as he possibly could, downplaying the
    spread and severity of the virus and even suggesting that we reduce testing
    to lower the case count. It was all about appearances to him.

    Stopping Domestic travel from Florida, due to covid concerns, but not worrying about foreigners crossing into the United States from the southern border, these people are not even being tested, just come on in man, says Biden.

    He does have a plan, but it is not a plan to fix everything in one month. Trump couldn't fix it in over a year.

    If you remember it was the media that suggested that the vaccine would not be available until later in the year of 2021, just another thing that they got incredibly wrong.

    Well, not in the extreme nationalistic sense.
    Maybe Biden will return to the Obama ways of appeasing Iran by dropping pallets of cash.
    That was Iran's money. This is an old, old talking point, and no less wrong
    now than it was back then.
    Biden has been claiming that fires in California are related to Global Warming, when it's really lack forestry management.The guy is a goof.
    It is related to climate change. And not, incidentally, Jewish Space Lasers.
    Stopping Domestic travel from Florida, due to covid concerns, but not worrying about foreigners crossing into the United States from the southern border, these people are not even being tested, just come on in man, says Biden.
    You're misrepresenting Biden's border policy.

    Keep on drinking it - you've got to do it in full sun ;)
    People did actually follow Trump's advice and drink bleach. US poison control centers reported a 121% increase in disinfectant poisonings
    after Trump's comments.

    If people drank Clorx or any other brand of bleach then their dumb, because that is not remotely what the President Trump said.
    You would think that if your your smart enough to operate the TV remote then you should be smart enough not consume poison. But...

    Amazon wouldn't distribute the vaccine because they wanted to hurt Tr

    Amazon? Are you ordering your vaccine from Amazon? I'm not ordering my vaccine from Amazon!

    In the states, Amazon has a huge logistics presence - they can deliver
    packages more efficiently (or as efficiently) as our federally owned USPS (united states postal service.) Better than UPS - although UPS is excellent.

    1 week after Biden's inauguration Amazon offered to distribute the vaccine throughout the United States. Some people will try to blame it on Trump
    because he left distribution up to the states, and they failed in some instances. Trump probably could have ordered the military to distribute the vaccine, but he it seemed like he didn't believe in stepping on toes.

    Yep! Although we were talking specifically about Biden's COVID plan, to which the Paris Accord is irrelevant.

    How is the Paris Accord Agreement connected in way to Covid?
    I thought that the Paris Accords was about reducing the carbon foot print, of which the country of China does not need to follow - until several years from now, even though they are world's largest contributers and therefore largest violators to Global Warming issue by far.

    Eliminating the keystone pipeline killing thousands of jobs in the process.
    Thousands of temporary jobs. Alternative energy will also create
    thousands of jobs.

    Oh you mean those Green Jobs like wind & solar, they will not produce enough energy, as our consumption of energy will far exceed the energy produced by these green initiatives.
    In addition I would think that this would put us back to the late 1700's.

    No more planes in the sky and all of the infrastructure wasted such airports not to mention all of those people work at airports.

    Tens of thousands will be out of work, just like the fellas from the Keystone XL pipeline.

    Why has the the Biden Administration not found new green jobs for
    these people who are now unemployed.

    You think of these jobs such as temporary but what about the positive effect with local businesses and the communities that these folks had a roll in.

    No longer having a America First Agenda. JT> Well, not in

    Indeed!

    Does that include rejoining the Paris Accords?
    Yep! Although we were talking specifically about Biden's COVID plan, t which the Paris Accord is irrelevant.
    How is the Paris Accord Agreement connected in way to Covid?
    It's not, which was my point. The discussion until now has been about Biden's COVID plan.

    I thought that the Paris Accords was about reducing the carbon foot
    print, of which the country of China does not need to follow - until several years from now, even though they are world's largest
    contributers and therefore largest violators to Global Warming issue by far.
    Yep, that's wha it's about. And it's a lot easier to put pressure on China to curb their emissions if A) we are taking steps to curb our own, and B) we
    are part of a multinational coalition focused on curbing global emissions.

    Oh you mean those Green Jobs like wind & solar, they will not produce enough energy, as our consumption of energy will far exceed the energy produced by these green initiatives.
    Eventually they will be capable of providing as much energy as fossil fuels currently do. Of course it's not going to happen overnight, but the sooner we get started, the sooner we'll get there.

    In addition I would think that this would put us back to the late
    1700's.
    Hardly. We're currently stuck in the early 20th century.

    No more planes in the sky and all of the infrastructure wasted such airports not to mention all of those people work at airports.
    That's an interesting prediction. However, reducing our carbon emissions is
    not an all-or-nothing proposition. Additionally, alternative aviation fuels (for example, liquid hydrogen cells) are currently being researched and developed.

    Why has the the Biden Administration not found new green jobs for
    these people who are now unemployed.
    It's only been a month, man.

    You think of these jobs such as temporary but what about the positive effect with local businesses and the communities that these folks had a roll in.
    They're still temporary, and any local effects are likewise temporary.

    Was it nationalistic? to stop other countries from ripping off the United States of America.
    Yes, removing the US from a position of global leadership towards
    isolationism was nationalistic, as was the rhetoric that accompanied it.

    On this day of January 17th when the money was dropped off on pallets,
    it was the same day that five American's were released from Iranian imprisonment. I submit they were OUR citizens, I would of leveled this dirt bag country and got our people home. The melody of "Death to
    America" is not appealing to me.
    It was the culmination of a 35-year settlement reached in arbitration in The Hague by US, Iranian, and neutral judges. What else happened that day? That
    day was also the day that the international compact rolling back Iran's
    nuclear program was set to take formal effect. And the US also released 7 Iranian prisoners. So there was a lot more going on than what you've chosen
    to cherry-pick.

    Jewish Space? What? It is what I said it was of which is a total lack of forestry management; removing dead trees and planting new ones and the like.
    Ok, obviously you're not up on current events. No matter. Controlling climate change is also a form of forestry management.

    ok? What is his border policy? Other then "come in man, no malarkey
    here."
    1. Create a task force to reunify families.
    2. Develop a strategy to address irregular migration across the southern
    border and create a humane asylum system.
    3. Restore faith in our legal immigration system and promote integration of
    new Americans.

    Yeah about that. It was not the job of the media to predict anything as they were not in the leadership chair, they twisted Trumps words and bet against him every chance they got. Kayleigh McEnany did a magnificent
    job with putting these smug & arrogant - hateful so called media in

    The idea that Trump had all the same goals as Biden is objectively

    Biden's plan is the same as Trump's plus a year of free car washes.

    He does have a plan, but it is not a plan to fix everything in one month.

    Now you sound like me defeding Trump. "He calls it an agenda."

    Joe needs to figure out a plan on how to pay for housing for 25,000 illegal immigrants. I don't want them to be homeless on the streets of our border states. What kind of friend are we if we treat them like that?

    But I hope our American homeless don't get offended by us providing shelter
    for illegal immigrants first and American homeless later - it's not meant to
    be hurtful to anyone, it's meant to be helpful to the Democrat party.

    I'll tell you exactly why: because to help them would, in the eyes of conservatives be "socialism," that's why. I have a funny feeling that your concern for them is as fake as your argument.

    At least Biden has a plan, with goals. Trump had nothing.

    Trump had all the same goals as Biden plus more. Trump launched
    Operation Warp Speed, and even Biden praised Trump for it while he injected the vaccine.

    But the first vacine to be distributed did not come from Warp Speed,
    although Trump tried to claim that it did.

    There are 80 year old US military veterans who are not yet eligible

    All 80 year olds should be eligible for the vacine. Being a veteran is
    not a factor. If they are not getting it, then there is a problem with
    the distribution.

    for the vaccine - but Biden got his - even Kamala got hers, but our

    Most ranking public figures got vacinated for multiple reasons -- to
    help insure continuity of government and to encourage the public to
    trust the vacine.

    veterans are lying down in nursing homes wishing that Biden was serious

    People in long term care facilities should be in the very top priority.

    Yep, that's wha it's about. And it's a lot easier to put pressure on
    China to curb their emissions if A) we are taking steps to curb our own, and B) we are part of a multinational coalition focused on curbing
    global emissions.

    The United States will reduce it's emissions, but we (the U.S.) have the cleanest air and purest water anywhere on the planet, China is more then 10x the polluter than the U.S. is and yet they do not need abide by the Paris Accords until several years down the road. How does that make any sense?

    In addition I would think that this would put us back to the late 1700's.
    Hardly. We're currently stuck in the early 20th century.

    It's nearly stagnation as it is now. It's 2021, shouldn't we have flying cars by now, but your not going to power those with on wind or solar or power much of anything for that matter.

    Wind and Solar is great for one of those Radio Shack Science kits, but for
    use with our power consumption needs, I just do not see it.

    Why has the the Biden Administration not found new green jobs for these people who are now unemployed.

    It's only been a month, man.

    Yeah I know but in that one month of time, what has he done? He is undoing all of things that President Trump did or accomplished, of which he can do that because of his status as President but I would think before he starts undoing everything that Trump did. First come up with a better plan first.
    But that is not how Biden thinks.

    Was it nationalistic? to stop other countries from ripping off the Un States of America.

    Yes, removing the US from a position of global leadership towards isolationism was nationalistic, as was the rhetoric that accompanied it.

    Do you believe that the United States was getting ripped off with lop sided trade deals and unfair tariffs, if so then it is not rhetoric because that
    was in fact what was happening and its been happening for years.

    It was the culmination of a 35-year settlement reached in arbitration in The Hague by US, Iranian, and neutral judges. What else happened that day? That day was also the day that the international compact rolling back Iran's nuclear program was set to take formal effect. And the US also released 7 Iranian prisoners. So there was a lot more going on than what you've chosen to cherry-pick.

    Several points... I did not know that the U.S. had 7 Iranian prisoners and I wonder for what was the charge, could it be terrorism, perhaps.

    They are a nuisance to the United States and to their neighbors.
    They fund terrorism around the world and their regime should eliminated.

    Trump was acquitted, today 02-13-2021 as a matter of fact.

    Indeed he was, in a very political spectacle. That does not change the fact that a number of the people who stormed our Capitol are claiming
    that they were following Trump's orders.

    Maybe your not aware (depending on your news source) there were officials such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who received advance warning of this event.
    There were pipe bombs placed on the gounds before this event and before President Trump gave his speech.
    There were also tens of thousands of folks who went to this but only 250 are persons of interest?

    But the first vacine to be distributed did not come from Warp Speed, although Trump tried to claim that it did.

    It was Trump's initiative clearly, I know you would like to pretend it was not Trump who did this. History knows the truth.

    People in long term care facilities should be in the very top priority.

    That didn't work out to well here in New York long term care facilities.

    "Look whether a person died in a hospital or died in a nursing home, it's -
    the people," " Cuomo said " People died"

    Now we know that he lied about the actual numbers of deaths to keep them from the Feds.

    Wind and Solar is great for one of those Radio Shack Science kits, but for use with our power consumption needs, I just do not see it.

    Building turbines and solar panels takes more energy than these products
    are expected to make in their average operating lifetimes. The only way
    they become viable is if we are willing to serious curb our energy needs,
    not just by saving electricity but by being willing to do without things

    Restore what? 1/2 of the American people already trusted the Trump administration, now 1/2 of America distrusts the Biden administration. That's not fixable. No party is ever going to be happy with the other because we've both got extremist presidents who sign executive orders all day.

    And to restore US leadership globally makes no sense, because it has nothing
    to do with the pandemic. It's just a way for Joe to pander to rogue regimes

    one goal at once. Pretending that we can only address one problem at a time is intellectually dishonest.

    I know we were talking about "Biden having a plan to combat the pandemic" but how does 25,000 homeless illegal immigrants help in the fight against the pandemic?

    Also, would you care to explain why, after four years of Trump's glorious reign, we still have American homeless?

    I'll tell you exactly why: because to help them would, in the eyes of conservatives be "socialism," that's why. I have a funny feeling that
    your concern for them is as fake as your argument.

    Trump never made any campaign pledge to put an end to homelessness. Neither
    did Obama, and that's why neither of them lifted a finger for homeless Americans.

    What does Joe do to help the homeless that Trump and Obama failed to do? He increases the homeless population by 25,000.

    Unless you're elite:

    Your point with that picture is what?

    Andrew Cuomo took the vaccine after calling it a Trump vaccine, and saying
    that New York was going to conduct their own tests to verify the safety of the vaccine. But that never happened, and Andrew Cuomo took the vaccine ahead of thousands of surviving elderly people in NY, including elderly veterans, and including elderly nursing home residents.

    My point is that Democrats are not trustworthy. Do you remember a couple
    months ago when Biden was offering Andrew Cuomo the nomination for Secretary of State? The nursing home cover-up guy as America's top prosecutor?

    But same thing I was saying to Jeff Thiele: Biden hasn't done anything worthwhile to fight against the pandemic. I can't blame him, because what else is there to do? Trump had already done everything and now it's all downhill
    for Immitation Joe.

    Most ranking public figures got vacinated for multiple reasons -- to
    help insure continuity of government and to encourage the public to
    trust the vacine.

    I get that but some Democrats killed the trust by calling it a Trump vaccine.

    People in long term care facilities should be in the very top priority.

    But they are not because that's not part of Trump's plan (which is now being called Biden's plan.)

    The United States will reduce it's emissions, but we (the U.S.) have the cleanest air and purest water anywhere on the planet, China is more then 10x the polluter than the U.S. is and yet they do not need abide by the Paris Accords until several years down the road. How does that make any sense?
    As I said, it's a lot easier to pressure China into curbing its emissions if we're not seen as hypocrites in doing so.

    Wind and Solar is great for one of those Radio Shack Science kits, but
    for use with our power consumption needs, I just do not see it.
    You underestimate it. No, you're not going to power your house with a Radio Shack solar cell, but there are also solar farms and wind farms that produce far more power than that. Other countries are doing it successfully, why are
    we falling behind?

    Yeah I know but in that one month of time, what has he done? He is
    undoing all of things that President Trump did or accomplished, of which he can do that because of his status as President but I would think
    before he starts undoing everything that Trump did. First come up with a better plan first. But that is not how Biden thinks.
    Ah, you mean like Trump's magnificent healthcare plan that was in all ways better than the ACA but in fact never existed? The plan is there, it is to phase out fossil fuel usage in favor of more environmentally sound sources of power. But it's not going to happen in a month. And it's not going to happen until we cut back on the easier (but far dirtier) methods of generating
    energy. Once there's a demand for clean energy, innovation will pull through.

    Do you believe that the United States was getting ripped off with lop sided trade deals and unfair tariffs, if so then it is not rhetoric because that was in fact what was happening and its been happening for years.
    Who is the US? Do you mean the US government, or US corporations? No one
    forced US corporations to do business with foreign governments, and if they did, they did so because it was to their benefit.

    Several points... I did not know that the U.S. had 7 Iranian prisoners
    and I wonder for what was the charge, could it be terrorism, perhaps.
    Violating sanctions.

    They were never going to allow for proper inspections by the U.S. or
    even the U.N. been down that road before. Current Events? Try History...
    History? The settlement in question dates back to when Iran was our ally.

    Trump lied constantly. His supporters only believed him because he was
    telling them what they wanted to hear, whether it was true or not. All politicians lie, yes, but nowhere near the degree that Trump did. Restoring trust means telling the truth, even if it's not what your people want to hear.

    And to restore US leadership globally makes no sense, because it has nothing to do with the pandemic. It's just a way for Joe to pander to rogue regimes the same way he pandered to black voters.
    Trump withdrew the US from the WHO, among other things. US membership in the WHO is a position of global leadership. Trump took a turn toward
    isolationism, some of it COVID-related and some not, and in doing so removed the US's ability to have any say (other than militarily) in global affairs.

    It seems like Cuomo has a grudge against elderly people. My dad is 80 and temporarily in a nursing home for surgery recovery, and for what it's worth, he's a veteran. Cuomo's friend Chris Rock got his vaccine already, but my
    dad's DR said she will call him when he's eligible.

    Chris Rock is probably Internet-saavy, so he was able to make an appointment and then take a private helicopter to wherever the vaccination site is, but regular elderly people don't know how to use the Internet or how to fly a private helicopter.

    This statement is false. Earth scientist David Hughes did write something similar in an essay, but it has been taken out of context. He was referring
    to certain wind turbines, but not all turbines. In reality, there are
    turbines that can recoup the energy used to manufacture them in less than 3 years, well below their average operating lifetimes.

    As I said, it's a lot easier to pressure China into curbing its
    emissions if we're not seen as hypocrites in doing so.

    It will never be easy to get China to commit to anything. The people of China have no reason to care about the environment. They care about not being enslaved and tortured though.

    First try to get them to sign a non-slavery agreement, see how that goes.
    After you get them to sign that they will totally sign the Paris Accord too.

    How do you know they'll be homeless? Typically they are released to
    family already in the US.

    If they had families who were willing to sponsor them, they wouldn't be
    illegal immigrants in the first place.

    What's typical about a diverse group of people from various countries? It's safe to assume that they don't need any help with lodging because they "typically" have family in the states to stay with? You're gonna make the illegals mad!

    If staying with family means stabbing an elderly couple to death for their jewelry, then staying with family sucks!

    Is the murder something that Democrats want? Do we want them to be desperate and killing for food & jewelry? How do Democrats profit from that? Are we
    going to starve them, give them voting privileges, and then tell them they can have some food if Biden gets elected?

    Senator Fred Akshar(R) is pretty cool. He's an ex cop, so you can probably understand some of his frustration with Cuomo.

    Assembly were some of the dumbest people I have ever dealt with and all the countless committees within the Assembly.

    I don't think much has changed! The Republicans in the state assembly have not impressed me. I've tried to contact Will Barclary (minority leader) and I have no clue if he gets my email or not. My local assemblywoman Donna Lupardo(D) is a nice lady, but totally useless and she's just a Cuomo puppet. She will talk to me, but she just says what Little Andy wants her to say.

    Restore what? 1/2 of the American people already trusted the Trump administration, now 1/2 of America distrusts the Biden administration. That's not fixable. No party is ever going to be happy with the other because we've both got extremist presidents who sign executive orders all day.

    That's not quite true, is it Aaron?

    Biden currently has a 55% favorable and a 41% unfavorable rating, according to gallup.

    Trump had a 41% favorable and 57% unfavorable rating according to the same poll.

    That's a big difference.

    The state assembly should offer him a deal like "No prosecution if you resign."

    No, if he is guilty of a crime then he should be prosecuted.

    I don't know if what he did was a crime.

    But the first vacine to be distributed did not come from Warp Speed, although Trump tried to claim that it did.

    It was Trump's initiative clearly, I know you would like to pretend it
    was not Trump who did this. History knows the truth.

    Of the two vacines currently in distribution, one came with support from

    probably understand some of his frustration with Cuomo.

    Assembly were some of the dumbest people I have ever dealt with and a the countless committees within the Assembly.

    I discovered a loophole within New York DMV traffic law known as Article19A in which children from K-12 were protected under the provisions of 19A but
    younger children pre-k age were not covered with the same rights and
    provisions under the law.

    My children fell into the younger age group at the time. Which is why I brought this forth to the District Attorney's office who was Ken Burno the son to the late Joseph Burno (R) Senator in Albany, N.Y.

    What sparked this was horrific and unimaginable were violations w/ school bus operators driving under the influence with children on the school bus.

    Upon bringing this to the DA he agreed immediately that the DMV law should be ratified. We had a televised press conference w/ local TV affiliates and a few radio stations too. This was my first experience with the bright lights of television. Within days this was then brought to the floor of the Rennselaer County legislator where it was agreed upon w/ unanimous consent that this discovery should be sent to Albany, New York for further consideration.

    This is where the problems began with the assembly.

    The Ways and Means committee found it difficult to define the capacity of a school bus and could not make the distinction of what color a school bus
    should be. The ring leader of the Ways and Means was non other then Sheldon Silver who I think is in prison at this time.

    This was never passed to this day but it doesn't hurt if I should be
    interested one day with running for a political office.

    Hello Greg,

    People in long term care facilities should be in the very top priority.

    That didn't work out to well here in New York long term care facilities.

    "Look whether a person died in a hospital or died in a nursing home, it's -
    the people," " Cuomo said " People died"

    Now we know that he lied about the actual numbers of deaths to keep them from
    the Feds.

    An aide was at fault, not the governor. Yes, the governor does have
    some explaining to do. But does that mean he should be replaced?

    Bye Bye Cuomo and take that sh!tbag Fredo with you!

    Chris is taking care of Fredo while Andrew takes care of NYers.
    Meanwhile, the Gropernator is getting ready to return to Sacramento.

    If you listen and take the media at their word it would of been late 2021. Instead of the media being supportive as they are now under Biden they were vile and vindictive with President Trump.

    It seems like Cuomo has a grudge against elderly people. My dad is 80 and temporarily in a nursing home for surgery recovery, and for what it's worth, he's a veteran. Cuomo's friend Chris Rock got his vaccine already, but my dad's DR said she will call him when he's eligible.

    Cuomo probably thinks too many old people are probably Republicans.

    This statement is false. Earth scientist David Hughes did write something similar in an essay, but it has been taken out of context. He was referring to certain wind turbines, but not all turbines. In reality, there are turbines that can recoup the energy used to manufacture them in less than 3 years, well below their average operating lifetimes.

    But how much power does each one put out? How many does it take to replace
    a coal or NG fired plant? Once we all have electric cars, how many
    turbines and panels will be needed to keep everything moving and to keep
    your AC and heat on?

    When will we have solar or electric jet planes, so that the celebrities and politicians can get to their green conferences to make sure this all
    happens?

    The problem with the Lefties is that they think that because something works
    in the small, that it will scale up. It's part of their extreme ignorance about just about everything.

    Lefties can NEVER see the full circle. Ex: They say that fossil fuels polute and we should all go electric - but are ignorant about how electricity
    is created.

    Yeah I know but in that one month of time, what has he done? He is
    undoing all of things that President Trump did or accomplished, of
    which he can do that because of his status as President but I would
    think before he starts undoing everything that Trump did. First come up with a better plan first. But that is not how Biden thinks.

    Biden is unable to think. He only does what his handlers tell him. That's
    why the Dems pushed to get him elected.

    At any time, I expect to see a picture with him sitting on someone's lap
    with that someone's hand up his... well... moving his mouth like a dummy.

    When will we have solar or electric jet planes, so that the celebrities and
    politicians can get to their green conferences to make sure this all
    happens?

    This. Its amusing to me all the private-jet excursions and basking in the rewards of that so-called evil capitalism the celebrity/elite enjoys while rubbing our noses deep in climate change hysteria nonsense.

    No kidding. IIRC, young Greta attempted to get over here to be shown off
    in the greenest way she could, but most of these elites are not so
    conscious about how they travel. Since they are better than us, that makes
    it ok.

    Although I saw this reported in the news, I thought it could be (or could
    be questioned as) fake news. However, now that someone from out West on another network (fsxnet) has talked about it happening to them, I feel ok mentioning it...

    In this week's snow and ice storm, the wind generators froze and took power
    out for any areas dependent on them. So, it could be in the single-digits
    or teens F in your "green" neighborhood but you have no heat. At least I
    guess one could freeze to death knowing they did good for the environment
    and their cause.

    Now one might think I live somewhere warm so that'd never happen but, as
    this was in Texas, I would say it indeed could happen to any of us. It has been below freezing here since Thursday last week, and is forecast to stay
    that way until maybe this Saturday. Long time to go without any wind
    power, and the Sun hasn't been out since even longer.

    ("single-digits to teens F" = well below 0C)

    plants are shutting down and can't be restarted. We have no water because the pumps at the water treatment facility lost power and froze. We have rolling blackouts and thousands of people have been without power is sub-freezing temperatures for days. We don't have enough solar or wind power to take up
    the slack because the oil and gas industries spread lies about them to

    Biden currently has a 55% favorable and a 41% unfavorable rating, according to gallup.

    Trump had a 41% favorable and 57% unfavorable rating according to the
    same poll.

    It doesn't matter too much whether the American people are happy with the outcome of the impeachment trial. It's important to Ana Cabrera and Poppy Harlowe, because they enjoy stirring emotions, but it's not the senate's place to make the American people happy, they're just supposed to make a lawful verdict.

    Umm... Yes they would. That's how "catch and release" works.

    It has nothing to do with "catch and release." Illegals are NOT required
    "to have family to stay with" to be eligible for catch and release. Catch
    and release is for ALL illegals. You're confusing illegal immigrants with legal immigrants, which is likely a result of your news sources brainwashing you.

    The Democrat controlled NYS senate is not going to convict a Democrat

    2) Vaccinating Chris Rock before vaccinating elderly US military veterans.

    You make it sound like Cuomo is responsible. Cuomo is no more responsible for covid than Donald Trump.

    It is possible those men could have done things better to handle the situation. As far as I know Cuomo has done a pretty good job with covid in NY, generally.

    In the early days of the outbreak when NY was hit hard, really hard, I have no doubt that Cuomo struggled with doing the right thing.

    I don't know what it is he did, if he committed crime he should be prosecuted. If he behaved badly his voters will bring and end to it, if they choose to do so.

    How many vaccines do you think there would of been without Warp speed

    Read what I wrote, and answer your own question.

    I would submit the answer of " zero vaccines " That was the consensus that
    the media drew up when Trump rolled out Operation Warp Speed. The media was adamant that the "the vaccine" would not be out to the later part of
    2021. Did the media intend to fling this at Trump in hopes that this cheap fodder would get under Trumps skin or perhaps it was just an arrogant presumption to make them feel powerful among collages.

    In either case the media looked like fools when they were proven wrong.
    It was just another day in the White house led by a true leader not one who can barely talk and gets his words jumbled up or one who has a press secretary who has said "let me circle back with you" so many times it hurts the ears.

    Your message seems to end there for some reason. No tear or origin line
    at all.. it just ends there.

    I've noticed that happen to your messages a couple times recently. Did
    you write more after that?

    I don't mean to complain. I'm just letting you know there might be some kind of issue.

    Checked into it and everything appears fine on my end things.

    I also appreciate you as well and I will be here if you ever change your mind with wanting a node here in New York.

    Also, in the path of the broken message it starts with 267/800 instead of 257/150. I suspect whatever happened may have been between 267/150 and 267/800.

    Be all that you can be! That is the motto of the US Army!
    And President Joe Biden has signed an executive order allowing
    transgender individuals to sign up! Isn't that great?

    Transgender people may be straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual,
    or asexual, as non transgender people can be. So what is your
    problem?

    "Hate has no home here." ~US Representative Lindsay Vaughan

    Why do you hate America, Greg? Why do you hate America,
    and its people? Can you answer that question? I'm sure you
    can.

    "I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania!"
    ~ Dr. Frank 'N' Furter

    If they can not make the correct choice for themselves, why should we trust
    them to make the correct choices for us, when they govern.

    The correct choice? What is the correct choice, Greg?
    Transgender people are just like you. And me. And everybody
    else. IOW, transgender people are US!

    Do you hate yourself? Do you hate your neighbor? Do you hate
    everybody in this country? Do you hate everybody on this planet?
    Sure seems like it.

    temperatures for days. We don't have enough solar or wind power to take up the slack because the oil and gas industries spread lies about them to protect their precious monopoly. And by the way, there are wind turbines working just fine in Antarctica.

    I have been talking with some folks having issues on other parts of the

    is also a desert. They don't get much freezing rain down that way.

    1) Thousands of elderly people dead from covid because of Cuomo's executive order mandating that covid patients are to be returned to their
    nursing homes while still recovering from covid despite the nursing homes
    capacity to quarantine covid-positive residents.

    They had to go somewhere, where else would they go?

    Maybe to the hospital, like the empty hospital ship out in NYC harbor that
    was sent by the federal government so that they could treat/quarantine
    covid patients?

    Sending people HOME to a group setting during a pandemic is not bright. Apparently, it was a policy in NY. It almost was here, too, but someone smarter talked our governor out of it.

    There are also wind turbines in Canada and northern Europe that don't freeze up. The difference is that they've been winter-proofed. Of course, if
    the coal, gas, and nuclear plants had been winterized, they wouldn't be
    having problems, either. The people running those plants chose not to pay for that, though, hoping that it wouldn't be needed. Obviously, it was.

    You don't watch the news much, do you? They might have reason to care,
    yes, and individuals might care, but they have a horrible record when it
    comes to the environment, and that is only the stuff we know about.

    There have been recent news articles about how our government could tell
    that COVID was worse on them than their government was letting on by the
    total lack of "cloud cover" (which they explain clearly is really smog)
    in satellite imagery. You can just about always find articles about the
    Yellow River and other bodies of water and just how toxic they are. A
    few years back, there were the articles about how they were dumping tech
    waste (that they were supposedly recycling) into ditches where kids were
    then going to pick out stuff to sell (and being exposed to toxic waste)
    and where runoff water would carry the toxins into the water supply.

    Their water problems alone make Flint look like nothing.

    That's another possibility. I don't know if that would be better than sending them home. Home is where most quarantine.

    that had a fleet of buses of all sizes, some w/ a 60 seat capacity, some smaller. or your everyday station wagons of which is worrisome because they do not have the same protection as to what a Thomas School has.

    That's crazy. I remember when I was a kid in upstate going to a private school in somebody's car. My parents were doing a good thing for me, but the transportation was ridiculous. That was in the early 80s, so aparently I
    wasn't covered by the law at the time either. Luckily nothing bad happened!

    Personally I believe there was a kick-back of the sinister & financial kind. Sheldon Silver was that kind of sleaze.

    I don't trust any of the state assembly. I'm trying to figure out which ones (active ones) are calling for Cuomo's investigation and which ones are not - there are about 4 or 5 assembly members who Cuomo was campaigning for last year. Whichever ones he was campaigning for, they've GOT to be bad.

    People need to be moved into action. Such a question that might simply be What have the Democrats done for you?

    These are good questions for the voters. Democrats have been promising the recreational marijuana for a long time now, but they still haven't delivered. I don't really care what happens with that, but I wish the Republicans would
    jump on that train and deliver the failed promise from the Demcrats. It would be an easy opportunity for the Republicans, but where are they hiding?

    Hello Dale,

    Come on Dale a Trans person?

    What does being Transgender have to do with the person's ability to do
    the job?

    The inability to make the correct Choice.
    If they can not make the correct choice for themselves, why should we
    trust them to make the correct choices for us, when they govern.

    Why is their choice not the correct choice for themself? Do you have
    some inherent prejudice against people who are transgender?

    A lot of people are confused as to what transgender is.
    Not just Greg. Not knowing the difference between sex and
    gender is common. So please do not be too hard on those
    who appear to be ignorant on the subject.

    "Hate has no home here." ~Rep. Lindsey Vaughan

    Is Greg a hateful person? Like many people, he probably does not
    understand what transgender is, or supposed to be. I tried to explain
    it to him in a previous message, but I am not sure if he got it.

    What is the difference between sex and gender? Can you tell me?

    You do realize there are five sexes of man -

    *male
    *female
    *pseudo-hermaphrodite
    *true hermaphrodite
    *eunuch

    That is, one's biological status as male or female, etc.

    Gender refers to the socially constructed rules, behavior, activities,
    and attributes that a society considers appropriate, etc.

    That is what confuses so many people. There is a misconception
    among many people that gender identity and sexual orientation are
    one and the same. They are not.

    Transgender people may be straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or
    asexual. Just as non transgender people can be.

    So, what is the problem for transgender people serving as members
    of the cabinet? Or for any other public office, elected or appointed?

    Pete Buttigieg, a gay man, is Secretary of Tranportation.
    He does not apologize for who and what he is. There are other
    people who are gay or lesbian who serve, or have served, in
    public office. Why should any of them apologize for who and
    what they are? Many of those same people, such as Pete Buttigieg,
    have even served in our armed forces. Should he apologize for
    having served his country, protecting Americans from harm?

    I commend them. I commend them all.

    President Biden signed an executive order allowing transgenders
    to serve in the armed forces. And serve honorably they will.

    They had to go somewhere, where else would they go?

    Maybe to the hospital,

    Yes. If they need hospitalization that's where they should go.

    During the 1918 pandemic that is where the sick went. And all
    that could be done for them was put them on a cot and watch them
    die. While putting caregivers at risk, many of whom also died.

    like the empty hospital ship out in NYC harbor that was sent by the
    federal government so that they could treat/quarantine covid patients?

    That's another possibility. I don't know if that would be better than sending them home. Home is where most quarantine.

    And what then? With hospitals overrun and not able to take more
    patients, what else could be done? Triage is not a pretty option,
    but there may come a time ...

    A ship out in the harbor full of covid positive people doesn't strike me as
    a great option.

    We could sink it.

    Next problem?

    I was referring to your claim that the Chinese have no reason to care about the environment.
    You don't watch the news much, do you? They might have reason to care, yes, and individuals might care, but they have a horrible record when it comes to the environment, and that is only the stuff we know about.

    So, a reversal then?

    I'm not reversing anything because your previous response was not to me. I would assume they don't care since (1) they do little to protect it, and
    (2) the Paris accord does not force them to do anything anytime soon.

    There are also wind turbines in Canada and northern Europe that don't freeze up. The difference is that they've been winter-proofed. Of course, if
    the coal, gas, and nuclear plants had been winterized, they wouldn't be having problems, either. The people running those plants chose not to pay for that, though, hoping that it wouldn't be needed. Obviously, it was.

    They are less apt to get freezing rain in Canada and northern Europe. In
    the middle latitudes of our country, where warm and cold air meet, you are likely to see that at least once a year. Also a lot more likely to go
    through more thaw-and-freeze cycles than you are farther North.

    I suspect that is why there are very, very few, if ANY wind turbines in my area, but they are common farther North of here.

    Winterizing increases the cost and makes it more likely the power generated won't cover the cost of building and maintaining it.

    Renewable energy sources didn't cause the problem, by the way. They actually performed better than expected under the circumstances, while coal, gas, and even nuclear plants underperformed. These plants were also not winterized. Are you saying that winterizing coal, gas, and nuclear plants will make it so that the power generated won't cover the cost of building and maintaining them?
    The wind turbines in northern Europe and Canada are also winterized, and
    saying that the cost to manufacture them outweighs the energy they provide is an outdated talking point.

    "Frozen Windmills" are a Fox News red herring. Wind power is responsible for around 7% of Texas' power generation, from what I'm told.

    7% of ERCOT's forecasted winter capacity was supposed to come from wind
    power. That's 6 gigawatts, 7 at peak times. However, Tuesday afternoon ERCOT reported that 16 gigawatts of renewable energy, mostly wind, were offline compared to 30 gigawatts of fossil-fuel energy sources. It's pretty
    interesting that an energy source expected to provide 6 gigawatts of energy could have 16 gigawatts offline and still provide most of the 7% total energy expected of it.

    Red herring or not, they are not the only ones reporting it (I didn't even
    hear it on a FOX network channel). It might only be 7% now but the
    original poster was arguing that it was a viable replacement for other
    power sources. In my part of the country, where we get freezing rain and
    have a lot of freeze-and-thaw, it is not.

    Maybe more than Texas, but it is not as common there as snow. Do you even
    know the difference? If you live somewhere that stays cold, freezing rain
    is not very common.

    If the wind turbines in Canada are used for supplemental power, which is
    what a Canadian poster has said here in recent days, then they are not
    using them as a primary power source (which, IIRC, the poster said was nuclear). You seem to believe that they are a viable primary source everywhere. As I originally said, unless everyone, including the elites
    who want us to go green, is willing to stop using most of their electric appliances and do-dads, they are not.

    Of course not, "Weather Alert" said that. Since you're replying as if I'd
    said that you did say that, then I'm going to assume that you are "Weather Alert."

    Did you not imply that more freezing rain and more thaw-and-freeze
    cycles are why the Texas wind turbines failed when the turbines in Canada and northern Europe don't? Did you not imply that the turbines were in all other ways equal? And if they were in all other ways equal, does that not imply
    that they had the same levels of winterization that the Texas turbines have, which is none? Did you not say that winterizing turbines makes them too expensive to recoup their manufacturing costs?

    Maybe more than Texas, but it is not as common there as snow. Do you
    even know the difference? If you live somewhere that stays cold,
    freezing rain is not very common.
    Um, ok. Are you saying that the RATIO of snow to freezing rain causes the turbines to freeze up? Or are you saying that snow, and not freezing rain, causes them to freeze? More freezing rain is more freezing rain, no matter
    how it compares to the amount of snow.

    If the wind turbines in Canada are used for supplemental power, which is what a Canadian poster has said here in recent days, then they are not using them as a primary power source (which, IIRC, the poster said was nuclear).

    It doesn't matter if they're using them as a primary power source or not. The matter at question is their reliability. It does not follow that if Canadians don't use them as a primary power source then doing so will cause electric do-dads to fail.

    More efficient electronic appliances and do-dads are also an option. In the mid-20th century, a computer no more powerful than a calculator was a massive endeavor requiring a huge amount of power. As I'm sure you're aware, we have much more powerful computers now that run on much less power. But it's also true that even lower power usage is very much a design consideration in designing new chips. They don't just use less power because their technology does; they use less power because they were intentionally designed to use
    less power.

    And what country has produced the most advances is the medical field?

    In the modern era (from 1946 to present): The United States.

    In 2600 BC Imhotep, the founder of ancient Egyptian medicine, authored the "Edwin Smith Papyrus" which details cures, ailments and anatomical observations. So, the other 4,621 years leading up to the Modern Era the counties that have produced the most advances in medicine are: Egypt, Greece, China, and Persia (now Iran). The Arab Nations, in general, have contributed staggering amounts of medical advancements over the centuries, also.

    The Legislative Branch (House and Senate together) makes laws. The Judicial Branch resolves disagreements in the law by interpreting statutes, regulations, the Constitution, and common law. But in resolving disagreements, they also create new law (although they are based on laws which originated in Congress. They can not originate Laws). The Executive Branch implements and enforces the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet.
