me too. As much as I love my home, I'm honestly kicking myself for not moving to New Zealand 4 years ago. If Trump steals this election, I'll have to upgrade that to hitting myself with my own car, and it still won't be enough.

The two shovers are now charged with felony assault, but not filing a false report, oddly.


The one who stopped the other officer from assisting the injured man should be upgraded to attempted murder, but won't be. Neither will the other 57 who just watched, then quit the crowd control unit in protest, be charged. They should be fired from their police jobs, it's undeniable that they support violent abusive policing, they just quit a special high pay position over being denied the right to break skulls....literally.

Today the WHO upgraded Coronavirus to "pandemic". (Only about a month after it matched the definition)
New numbers show it's actual mortality rate is likely around 3.4% , average flu mortality is as low as .05%. (Way more testing is needed to verify that 3.4% number)

What we don't know is the rate of transmission, but it appears to be exceptionally high.
What we also don't know is that infection leads to permanent immunity. There are numerous reported cases of people being released after treatment, testing negative, then getting infected again. It's rare, and may be due to poor testing, but just assuming you can only get it once is rolling the dice with life or death stakes. I had chicken pox twice...the common misconception is that's impossible.

Santa is getting an upgrade this year...

Apple quality has consistently gone down hill after Steve Jobs (could be post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc fallacy, but whatever).
AppleCare is a must nowadays, backups are a must (iCloud or local)- Apple treats their devices as throwaway, regardless of the cost. They just want you to buy a new one, and sadly most people do.
My 2012 MacBookPro (last model that is field-upgradeable) is a tank, but I won't buy a new one when it dies. I've seen 1/3 of 2018 MacBookPros ($2500) have random lockup issues and need to be replaced.
I'm still trying to get data recovered from my wife's 2015 MacBook (wouldn't turn on 1 day, no drops, no water, just dead).

Fixing and upgrading our crumbling infrastructure could easily create enough of those jobs at least short term, by which I mean one to two decades, to employ every single able bodied American....granted, that's less than 1/3 of us, but would make unemployment rare.

Some countries have tried the free check/minimum income. It turned out to have zero effect on employment, no one decided they shouldn't work and just live on the stipend, it was under $600 a month, but they did find a huge benefit in well being and homelessness.
I don't see a huge difference from social security except age.

That said, I agree, what I've read of this new deal is overreaching pie in the sky dreaming that only made those supporting it seem unrealistic and not serious.

My new deal would trade all these benefits for sterilization after one child. Anyone with two kids pays more and is excluded from benefits, those with 3 or more go to work camps to pay society back for their irresponsibility. Lower the population by 1/2 and solving all these issues becomes exponentially simpler....many solve themselves.

10 year plan. Twice as effective as the USSR's 5 year plans

...Fully rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, restoring our natural ecosystems (needed), dramatically expanding renewable power generation (needed, but it also doesn't mean we should be throwing money away on stupid shit like solar roadways), overhauling our entire transportation system (regional flights, which sort of make up around 70% of total flights, would be targeted for elimination and massively expensive (slower) electrical trains would be put in their place), upgrading all our buildings (most businesses are already moving to green solutions) , jumpstarting US clean manufacturing (see highly expensive and non-competitive with cheaper overseas mfg), transforming US agriculture (forcing a move from cows/pigs/chickens to plant based proteins)...

While we are at it, might as well do the following:

A job with family-sustaining wages, family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security (Nice, but you can't just make these jobs available. They are supply and demand.)

High-quality education, including higher education and trade schools (Needed)

High-quality health care (Needed)

Clean air and water (Needed)

Healthy food (Subjective, is meat considered healthy?)

Safe, affordable, adequate housing (because this works, ie Projects...)

An economic environment free of monopolies (Technically this exists already, except in countries outside of the USA and EU)

Economic security to all who are unable or unwilling to work (SWEET! SIGN ME UP FOR THAT CHECK!!!)

I get that his spiel is comedy based, but the GND is about half reality and half looney tunes.

They heard about his "large bills" and were looking for an upgrade.

Yeah, Upgrade was amazing. I'm working on my top 10 video at the moment, and Upgrade is gonna be on there for sure.

No Upgrade? I rarely enjoy modern films but that was easily my favourite this year.

It's been a while, but thanks so much for upgrading to charter again!

You're all set up for the next year now.

Uh, yes.

The doctors office.

NG magazines in the waiting room. Bewbs and grass skirts only. If I wanted an upgrade, I would go to the barber shop where Ritz the barber had Playboy magazines in the back room.

If you want more details I'll send you my PayPal addy.

I can't stand what Apple makes some customers go through, especially if they have a unit that isn't vintage/obsolete and want to upgrade parts.

I prefer the version where they phone 911, ask for firefighters, and are told that although they have an unlimited fire protection plan they will need to pay to upgrade if they want the hoses and engine, otherwise they'll have to make do with a man and a bucket.

As I understand it, there was some misunderstanding about what "unlimited" means (hint: it means limited...), and that Verizon should not cap emergency services regardless.
