Ahoy, matey!

Wheel of Time was a very formative series for me growing up. I've found that the adaptation to be very enjoyable, especially since I started watching it with my friend who is likewise a long time fan. It's settings and costumes are beautiful, the actors very talented. There's the odd miss.

Matter of time before that Starlink contract magically un-rips itself.

I never had an account there and the only reason I'm here is to make his numbers look worse lol

Just gotta get those darn Republicans to do the right thing.

It makes sense, their "alliance" has always been mutual self interest, but once one of them starts making moves to tilt the balance of power they've no choice but to start making their own moves. It's inherently unstable because their guiding philosophy is one of pure selfishness.

And yet the PCs get 2/3 of the seats.

Neoliberalism is a scam, trickle-down economics hasn't worked in 40+ years.

If we had a program where you could pay $100 to not get the vax and attend a weekend long public health seminar then all of a sudden it's more costly in time, money, and effort to not get the shot.
Paired with a tax rebate for proof of vaccination this could drastically change the numbers.

One strategy I've thought of seems kind of paradoxical: give people the option to opt out.
Hear me out. Most anti-vaxxers aren't true believers in the sense they're not willing to actively go out of their way. Not getting the shots costs them nothing and is thus the easier option for them...

*shudder*

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn from history are doomed to know it's repeating.

Feel like Cassandra up in here.
