How's it Going There?

Well, this is the year I start the novel I've been talking about. It's not gonna be done right away, but I've been taking copious notes. Also a short story collection. It will have a few pictures, so unfortunately, I'm not sure it will be so cheap (again). 

 A GOP Congressman died from Covid. Given that he's part of the party that's into trying to kill as many colored people and blue staters as their policy. Fun. Well, there's the vaccination that all GOPers are cutting line to get. 

 How's that going? Well since Trump's beyond incompetent, he's fucking up the rollout too. Apparently it will take 10 years to vaccinate everyone at this pace. Not that each state isn't messing up (good on WV and SD! but NY and CA, wtf?), like taking a break on weekends... uh, hurry up, because this is the moment that you should. 

If only he wasn't so busy pardoning people who he thinks fit his authoritarian stature (and can rally with him, I'm guessing). Also white power. Cops shooting unarmed people? That's a pardon. 

Not that any of this changes when he leaves (that grift is strong with the GOP, Cruz raising then taking money from GA is fine with me... not that the dem consultant class doesn't have something to answer for[1]). That city block that was blown up? Yep, the cops knew he was getting ready to blow something up. Also the cops came and saw a woman with two guns next to her. Didn't shoot her. I wonder why...

Also what would have happened if this a mob of non-whites non-MAGAt wearing fools stormed a store. Not this, for sure. But I know here in WA we're taking in Idaho and other red state overflows, and I can't help but think that we shouldn't. You want to live free and die, do it in your house. And we all know exactly how the red states will react if the shoe was on the other foot. Suddenly our sins will be our own alone. 

Not that the US is failing alone. Japan, (remember that article I linked? About how Japan controlled things by focusing on superspreader events?). Well they're failing right now and trying to catch up. And apparently, given their issue with social control, nurses are quitting for being ostracized (don't worry, we're pretty bad in many ways to our HCW, and that's before the PPE). btw, I'm not sure if the recent rise is because of the new British variant (does it make spread easier outside of suprspreader events? Maybe). Apparently that doesn't affect the vaccine, but it will still hurt many.

Oh, and Germany has its issues with Covid deniers and now has a surge of covid. I'm guessing they see the Goebbels like force behind all these conspiracies. Spain, meanwhile, will list all people who refuse to have a vaccine and will let other countries know about them. Probably should do this to all vaccinations, IMO. Could be that we need to ask and see proof before someone enters. Oh, and the UK is seeing worse numbers while soccer there is being stopped. Brexit!

[Above, UK, EU and US deaths per 100k are about the same. But me thinks, the US can win this one.]

How about something good? Argentina has expanded women's health. 

Something bad? War in Yemen will continue as planned (and no, I don't think Biden will be better on this one, unless we all hold his feet to the fire). Our helpers in other countries are being stalked (and I'm sure they'll have a chance to come to America for their sacrifices... right rightwingers?) and what do we provide them in exchange for all this?

Not sure, but whatever vacuum that is, Someone will fill it.

 That's it for now, I'll get back to writing people. Oh, watching Good Detective on Netflix. K-show. Real good. 

[1] This thread speaks of Lincoln project and how that's a grift for centrists. Fair. But remember 100M spent in states where that money hardly moved the needle. The Dem consultant class is mainly grifters too, never forget (unlike Stacey Abrams, who actually built something worthwhile. Give her the 100M and we'll see better results)
