September 11th just makes it more poignant that the nation does not seem to care about the deaths of 190,000. The lack of concern is appalling

The unmitigated gall to draw a comparison on 9/11 for political points...

To immediately point at “what’s political “about 190,000 people’s avoidable deaths , or 3000 people being murdered is too cynical to be discussing politics rationally.

What specifically should the federal government do moving forward?

1) I could get behind that, in theory it would be similar to the emphasis/effort put into the vaccine. My understanding was they were already heavily funding / inventivsing the development through those guaranteed payments (i.e., health insurance coverage)

2) if only Congress would actually negotiate (yes, there's blame on both sides)

3) that's fair, I just don't see how they could code this as a pre-existing condition unless you changed health insurance during infection period. May be worth it since we still don't know the exact long term effects tho

4) agree and it should be thought through. The states that have done it dance around asking the tougher questions to try to build the proper "spider web" of interactions. I'm just not sold I A) personally want the fed govt to have this authority by setting a new precedent or B) they actually have the authority to do so

5) hasn't trump threatened withholding federal funding from states that stayed locked down and that didn't go over well? If he can't do it for forcing to open, how can he do it for forcing a shut down?

My role was just eliminated, and I need to replace it quickly. I have a solid lead on a new job but based on the job description I think it’s gonna be a lot less than I was making.

I hope it is also not lost on everyone that Trump wants to STOP THE VOTE when he is behind and has lost. What a toddler and just insane. I’m pro-democracy. His tweets are lunicy. AZ will be tight. PA will flip Biden today. GA could be close and flip also. Welcome to democracy

A red tidal wave on election night. Unfortunately, this is the 21st century and elections last for weeks now. Once again (just like 2020) races are slowly moving back to democrat control after Election Day. Are we surprised?
My takeaways-

1. People care more about abortions than the impending recession and inflation. Or at least they THINK they care more thanks to the media.

2. Desantis over Trump for 2024. Desantis has unmatched support. Trump politicians are still losing & so will he
