#Omicron is challenging our collective intelligence and abilities to plan ahead. Our hospital systems are close to the max, esp b/c staff is getting sick.

Replying to @sarvay
Sadly we’re as collectively clueless as the 1918-19 folks who were told to wear masks and did not. Until a large metro area or state sustains a large scale hospital breakdown eg hospital closure b/c of sick nurses/doctors, nothing will change.
Reviving U.S. heavy industry would build a safer, more sustainable world: Clean product standards should cover all goods sold in the United States—and here is the key—requiring importers to follow the same standard as domestic producers.

si le Québec atteint les 10,000 cas/jour on va dépasser même la médecine de brousse dont parlais TRES justement . Pourquoi attendre aussi longtemps ? Ne voit-on les décisions des Pays Bas par exemple ? journaldemontreal.com/2021/12/21/ver

Comme dans beaucoup d’endroits dans le monde, le Québec est confronté à des choix très difficiles.
Ce qui nous guide, c’est la capacité qu’on aura ou non de soigner les Québécois malades dans les prochaines semaines. On vous revient demain avec nos décisions.

Slowest Growth on Record for America’s Population “can be attributed to decreased net international migration, decreased fertility&increased mortality due in part to COVID-19.”
my take: population crash=📉in hard&soft power for America

They’ve shrunk 10x faster in the past 40 years than in the previous 7 centuries. The Himalayas is the source of 10 major river basins that provide drinking water, irrigation, and power to about 1.9 billion people.

Taubira and Melenchon will fight to be “la gauche morale”&try to attract voters uninterested in governing and focused on “candidatures de témoignage”. 22 will prove eventful !

Traditional Left=unable to coalesce because it too is fractured and it’s devolved into personal postures vs true ideas confrontation. Jadot should focus 100% on climate and is unable to be more than a Hollande clone. Hidalgo showed she is NOT a national politician&will bow out

His entire 17 pitch:those most comfortable w “global France” vs “les souverainistes”. His “bilan for 22”: he hasn’t pursued this diligently and LREM is not ideologically strong enough. Pecresse will resurrect “droite contre gauche”&opinion polls to date=she has a real chance

#2yearslater IMO roots of Trumpism=media/political class didn’t properly atone for 2 gigantic fuckups since 2000: the “war of choice” in Iraq&inaction post-08. 
voters’ cynicism is as massive as the elites’ despicable attitude. This will happen again&again until it’s too late. twitter.com/fredericg/stat…

SCOTUS=100% political➡️Dems’ project to change 🇺🇸at federal level is over&needs to pivot to large states where max GDP is located: CA, NY, IL, MA-CT-NJ. THAT’s where Dems’ focus on the future should be, not DC.

GOP=100% culture war&unwilling to govern. They will spend 22-24 w impeachment+hearings to try and fail Fauci et al. Dems are underselling this b/c they are the worst at messaging. DC = toast as governing entity. States shld be focus now&allowed to issue debt eg provinces in 🇨🇦

#perspective 🧵on Pelosi’s normalizing of insider trading for Congress&families. dubbed it her “Marie Antoinette” moment&he’s 🎯. IMO this, like HRC’s Wall St speeches will discourage key voting blocs in 22. McCarthy=Speaker ➡️Biden will be impeached as revenge for DJT

nails it. Early retirements not lazy young people account for 90% of those who left labor market over last two years. Narratives on what has been called “The Great Resignation” is really ab retirements.

There are other obvious parallels between the 1850s and today but one worrying me is how convinced some congressmen are they can prevent democratic collapse through bipartisan compromise. I wrote about that
