It isn’t about emotion any more. It is about strategy. It is about winning again. It is about tomorrow.
You know the supply chain thing is getting bad when restaurants are offering chicken meals at “Market Price”.

“I think you can make fun of anything except things people can't help. They can't help their race or their sex or their age or illnesses, so you ridicule their pretension or their ego instead. You can ridicule ideas - ideas don't have feelings. You can ridicule an idea that someone holds without hurting them.” -- Ricky Gervais
Rand Paul 1; Anthony Fauci 0. Fauci and Paul brawled during a Senate hearing with omnipresent doctor repeatedly denying Paul’s accusation that the US funded Wuhan Labs research on. Yesterday NIH wrote a letter saying that the US funded the Wuhan “gain-of-function research on bats infected with coronaviruses.” You’d think some intrepid reporter might have worked feverishly to get to the bottom of that exchange between the Senator and the Covid superstar. You; think, if it were a real world.
Some accuse Americans and companies like Moderna as being selfish because they won’t release Covid vax doses or secret, private developmental data to the rest of the world. Yesterday India announced they had reached delivering1Billion doses of Covid vaccines.

I guess Anderson Copper had a pretty lame interview with the president yesterday. Or as a regular person observed, “He didn’t ask questions, he gave answers. In an embarrassing segment when the president tried to explain away his inability to get to the explosive southern border, he said, “Well, you don’t see pictures of children in cages laying atop of each other anymore?” Yes, it’s true. Reporters, photographers and drones have been banned from being at the border and in refugee camps. Well, what od you know, no pics of kids.
“I'm a scientist at heart, so I know how important the truth is. However inconvenient, however unattractive, however embarrassing, however shocking, the truth is the truth, and wanting it not to be true doesn't change things.” --Ricky Gervais
The Answer:
Ernest wr0oe The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms ad Old Man and the Sea. Bonus: The USA of course is one.

South Korea is working hard to be next.
Just because the Constitution protects freedom of speech, it doesn’t mean you have to stop thinking.
