I live in the rurals and in 2024 ordered from Amazon almost once per week: 50 times in the year. In 2025 I've cut that down to 2 with almost no effort: the 2 were the only time I had to do any extra work, trying to find alternative sources. If I can ~cut Amazon out of my life, most people can.

An exceptional reason to mask and test! There are now combo flu/covid tests and while they aren’t perfect, having everyone take one before meeting for Thanksgiving could save people from at best a week of misery and at worst disability or death. A no brainer.
Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

The alliance in AB is for optics only. Carney is managing Smith. There will be no pipeline, he has positioned Indigenous people's with a ton of power here. He needs to deal with her like he deals with Trump. He is a brilliant strategist.
