I'm always amazed at how ignorant Americans are of how much wealth slaves and their labor built for the US. It's a humongous amount of wealth.

So, like I said, with all the crap going on in the US politics now, only a fool thinks it's appropriate to compare the US to the likes of Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.
It's an India, a Brazil, a Russia instead.

What's the point of scaring people in this secret hideout on the interwebs? I don't know. I don't mean to "scare" anyone, but as far as I can see, most Americans still don't seem to grasp the scale of the trouble ahead now.

It takes a lot of energy, time, money and everything to become a medical doctor because the society needs the pretense that doctors are some special people. But they aren't in actuality. 90% of the stuff that they learned to become doctors at schools is useless. Their job is one of the least intellectually stimulating, brain-power-consuming ones out there. Medical science is perhaps the fuzziest and loosest of all natural sciences. Much of the so-called "Western medicine" is actually almost as voodoo as the Eastern counterpart.
What you truly need, as a medical doctor, is a certain kind of personality, people skills. Like this:

Biden's lead over Trump in popular vote is now > 7M.
But this election was genuinely close.
LOL @ the Electoral College system. What a joke. It's unfair to compare the US to India and Brazil. Unfair to those two countries, that is.

Shuri, of all people, going anti-vaxx is a juicy content - "Luciferase"!? - but traditionally there has been strong skepticism toward vaccines, and medical science as a whole among blacks. It's mostly irrational, but there's a historical aspect too (i.e. the history of being used as guinea pigs).
There are a LOT of black doctors and nurses out there who lean anti-vaxx too.
Since blacks have been hit disproportionately hard by Covid-19, it may be a serious problem.
[Edit] OK, Wright's tweet is gone. That's best for everyone, I guess.

It's good the American left is making a lot of public noise and objections over potential Biden nominees. I still remember 2008, when the left was a major vehicle for Obama's historic win. When Obama chose Emanuel, Geithner and Orszag, the left just let it happen without a beep. Not this time.

Here's Dr. Fauci's regular daily schedule. He's going to be 80 years old in a couple of weeks. Tough, good old Brooklyn Italians - a dying breed. My mentor is one of them.    |

Dr. Fauci mildly criticized the UK on the vaccine approval and had to backtrack later. He was just pissed, though. He shouldn't have said that, but he was really annoyed by the UK. Pretty much the entire world outside the UK has been annoyed by that government's stupid antics.
It's stunningly stupid especially because the UK - by which I mean the British bureaucracy and private sectors involved - actually did NOTHING WRONG. But the politicians decided to annoy the world with that asinine "leading the West" nonsense for no reason.
I seriously suspect that will negatively affect the ongoing EU negotiations too. Those people are just a bunch of first-class Trumpian-level tossers.
They will lose all friends if they go on like this.

We can't even throw a welcome-back party for Hayabusa2, as it will quickly leave the Earth sphere again for another mission in a distant, distant place. I'm very, very excited to see what the samples that it took from the asteroid will tell us. Hopefully something huge. After six years and 6bn km, Japan's Hayabusa2 prepares to bring home cargo of asteroid dustwww.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/04/japan-hayabusa2-asteroid-dust-ryugu |

Even Americans themselves keep falling for this shit, but when you see an American acting this gratuitously "crazy" in public, in nine cases out of ten it's largely an act for their 15 minutes, and hopefully more.
Yes, there are a lot of genuinely fucked-up people out there, but this one is pretty obvious if you ask me. I'm not denying she's a bit crazy to begin with, or that she's drunk; I'm saying she knows what she's doing and who's watching her.
America is a country where you are as good as dead if you are not famous. Many people would do almost anything to be famous, or infamous. They want to keep believing they are special.

"I did my research!" usually only means he/she saw a youtube clip where a man rants for 30 minutes during which he says, "But no one seems to care!", five times.

And now the Swedish PM says he's planning to vaccinate at least 2 million people in Q1 2021, beginning with 500-600k elderly people and nursing home staff.
What was Tegnell blabbering about the vaccines being still far away - so far away that you might have to wait until 2022 - the other day for?
Anyway, I'm glad that his weird statement doesn't reflect the Swedish government's position after all.
He really, really should be fired, though. I see him go on again about "immigrants" being a "driving factor" of the spread.
Sure, I suppose he doesn't mean anything racist by that, yeah, yeah, but can you imagine Robert Redfield (USA) or Christian Drosten (Germany) saying anything remotely like this in public?
Sheesh, man. This idiot emperor has absolutely no cloths, but continues to be such a fucking media attention whore.
