As Wong pointed out, it’s not gardening itself that is racist. Don’t get me wrong. He’s definitely full of it.

Re: The Left is eating itself
Have you all noticed that every single article on vaccine hesitancy avoids the issues that most people are concerned about (long term side effects, insufficient testing prior to distribution, rare but potentially serious short term side effects) and instead focuses on how it's all down to blacks and Hispanics not trusting the medical system?
Here in NYC, they trust the system just fine. Better than the suburbanites in the private clinics in fact. It's just a clickbait explanation, but it will feed the "systemic racism" story and that's of course the goal.

Re: The Left is eating itself
Love that movie, 'Being There'. I couldn't remember seeing it as a kid, but I watched it ~ 2005 after seeing so many references and will never forget it. Big Peter Sellers fan.Simonjester wrote:It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant.

Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!
Re: The Left is eating itself
I neither trust nor distrust the medical system. I just think it's prudent to wait and see how it all pans out. I'm 71 and don't see any point in poking my arm with a shot when I've already made it this far without it, the only precautions I'm taking being my normal social distancing as an introvert and even pushing that envelope.sophie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 8:38 am Have you all noticed that every single article on vaccine hesitancy avoids the issues that most people are concerned about (long term side effects, insufficient testing prior to distribution, rare but potentially serious short term side effects) and instead focuses on how it's all down to blacks and Hispanics not trusting the medical system?

As for the racial stuff - take that and stick it where the sun don't shine. Sick and tired of it by now.
Re: The Left is eating itself
Ha, pp4me. They're only just getting started with that. Did you know that if you voted for Trump, you are now officially considered a white supremacist and domestic terrorist? Even if you're black or Hispanic?
Not us of course....we don't do any such thing here, right guys? And we are all registered Democrats now too! Truly!

Re: The Left is eating itself
This is obviously a political thread by definition that predates the creation of that §. I suppose it could be moved. Xan, l82start, is there a way to do it in a single move because post by post, that’s a lotttttt of checkboxes that I don’t want to click.

They said Trump wanted to be a dictator. Yet, Biden is setting records for executive orders. I'm starting to experience cognitive dissonance!

"One of the reasons for this disparity is due to what’s known as the “crowding out” effect. Construction jobs are inherently temporary anyway, but as Matheson notes, they’re also finite. “Big stadium construction crowds out other sorts of construction projects that could have happened. Your construction workers are working on this project rather than some other project in the area,” he said."

Re: The Left is eating itself
Yeah, I'm enjoying reading Reason magazine again. They've been complaining about Biden's executive orders and proposals nonstop, after throwing their hat in the ring to endorse him. Nice example of buyer's remorse there, too.
Re: The Left is eating itself
Seems that there's a lot of that going around these days. So what, exactly, has been revealed about Biden and Co. since November that these people didn't know before the election?
Re: The Left is eating itself
Oh, they knew. They just ignored it, because they were told by the mainstream media to hate Trump instead. And they dutifully did what they were told.
I'm being a bit facetious though. I'm sure a lot of people didn't need CNN's incessant pounding and truth-twisting to dislike Trump's style. It's just that I really wish more Biden voters stopped to think, just for a moment, about what they were buying. The disappearance of thousands (ikely 10s of thousands) of good blue collar jobs in just a week, plus instantly increasing our energy dependence on Middle East oil, at the stroke of Biden's pen, is only the start.

As the article points out, what they're utterly failing to do is their most basic job: at least TRY to figure out how to have school open!I Shrugged wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 12:21 pmAs long as they keep Drag Queen Story Hour.MangoMan wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:48 am The San Francisco Board of Education, after voting to erase names from its local schools such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, is now trying to decide if a gay, white man with a multiracial daughter adds enough diversity to a parent committee of women.
I would hope that even the diversity police would see that such a show is self-defeating for them.
