I just find it surprising that people actually still approve of the government being able to complete halt all economic activity at the whim of a single person. Especially after all we now know about the virus and the effects of locking down. What do you think about broad emergency powers for Governors in general? This isn't the only one. There's plenty of instances (natural disasters, terrorist threats, etc.) where once they've declared a state of emergency their granted fairly wide reaching authority, untethered by the legislature.

Gee, that sounds terrible. Riot Kitchen whining about this is another great example of his moderation.
May 21, 20215 yr there already was recourse for the legislature to limit emergency powers of a governor. they are just mad they didn't have the votes. so they opted to change the rules instead. this isn't your father's Republican party.

Yup, that's how it is with this party anymore. They're all about playing by the rules until it doesn't suit them anymore. Bunch of f***ing clowns.

I'm over it. What the fack do you think 0.2% is IF NOT NEAR ZERO??!?!??!! YOU are selfish. Demanding other people cater to YOUR unhealthy lifestyle. Fak you.

May 21, 20215 yr 44 minutes ago, EaglesRocker97 said: Also, quite the dirty trick to put Constitutional Amendment proposals on an off-year primary ballot. Republicans knew that the turnout heavily skews in their favor for local primaries. Now, yeah, I hate that Democrats absolutely suck at getting to the polls, and ultimately it's on them, but it doesn't change the fact that PA Republicans are monumental scumbags sacrificing the health and wellbeing of Pennsylvanians to score political points with their braindead base. All of the years I lived in PA, I was registered "No Affiliation". I had no reason to be at a primary election, other than to vote for ballot questions. When I showed up to the polling place, there was a line for Republicans and a line for Democrats. Imagine the surprise of the election workers when I showed up! They didn't know where to put me.

There were probably also a ton of independents who didn't even realize they could vote and didn't show up. Also, so much for the secret ballot.

I don't know what policies and procedures are in place now... This was back before electronic ballots, and they had to go through binders full of names to look up your registration. They had it organized so all the Republican books were at one table, the Democrats were at another. At least they weren't prepared for many Independents! They told me to go to shortest line, then they had to go in back to find binder with the Independent/Third Party registrations.

I haven't been following the exchange, but it appears you're saying that .2% is "near zero," but when you're dealing with sample sizes in the millions, if not hundreds of millions, an incidence of .2% is not anywhere close to numerical zero.

Hundreds of millions of people between the ages of 20-40?!?!?! there aren't even 90M people in the U.S. in that age range! How could you have hundreds of millions of people in that age range catch COVID?!?!?! And you're saying that until the death count reaches 0, you're not going out of your basement, not socially gathering, not returning to society...?? Interesting, since you've got people that ARE VACCINATED AND DYING *OF* COVID. "Of", right? Or is it "with", now??? I'm confused. I checked with the CDC and, whelp, they're confused, too.

May 21, 20215 yr Pfizer really is the best. Quote Pfizer, BioNTech make huge pledge to address COVID vaccine inequality Pfizer (PFE.N) and BioNTech (22UAy.DE) pledged on Friday to deliver 1 billion doses of their COVID-19 vaccine to poorer nations this year and another 1 billion next year, the boss of Pfizer said. The pledge could significantly address the unequal distribution across the world of COVID-19 vaccines, which have so far been sold disproportionately more to richer countries. "Pfizer and BioNTech are pledging to provide 2 billion doses of our COVID-19 vaccines to middle- and low-income countries over the next 18 months," Albert Bourla told a global health summit. Bourla said that low-income countries would be offered the vaccines at cost, while middle-income nations would pay about half the price of wealthier nations, which are estimated to have paid around 20 dollars per dose. "We expect to provide 1 billion of these doses to low- and middle-income countries this year. And we pledge to deliver another 1 billion doses to these countries in 2022," Bourla said. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-biontech-provide-1-bln-vaccines-poorer-nations-this-year-2021-05-21/

My wife is blind as a ukn’ bat without her glasses or contacts. Last week she took out her contacts before brushing her teeth. She accidentally used my daughter’s toothbrush that was infested with COVID (my wife also has OCD and we all use one sink to brush our teeth. Another story for another day). However, she was vaccinated and has not gotten COVID herself. So I was just giving an anecdotal update on how great the Pfizer vaccine must be.
