No worries, your cool. But it didnt happen (i mean they did get gassed, but not because of trump)

Note the source (WaPo is anti trump) and year (after the 2020 dust settled)

This based on an investigation done by the Biden admin.

One of the casualties of our 24 hr media cycle is that in the orgy of current news we don't pay attention to the follow up.

No. Instead you should always treat mothers, especially new moms, with extra respect and care. They have a lot to deal with.

Lol, agreed, but common! It was cute.

Work for home was what they put in their briefcases before computers.

Dont be, 90% of the film was recovered.

My oldest kid been going to in-class school since September 2020 [1]. Maskless since October 2021. She missed, in a year and a half, a total of two or three weeks of school. This is a blessing that my kid has received.

I cant speak of your nieces.

EDIT:

[1] The year is correct, 2020.

I’ll help your argument out and make it stronger (because “reserved” vaccines have indeed been shipped overseas):

Once a vial is opened the vaccines contained therein can’t be shipped overseas and will expire in a few hours. I could therefore wait outside a Walgreens before closing and get the shot.

Except Im not a utilitarian. I cannot take what is rightfully another’s just because they cant enjoy it. I believe that all young people should have refused the shot, therefore liberating millions of doses. Mine is but the first (literal) drop in what should be an ocean; and Im actively encouraging my friends to do the moral thing and refuse to get boosted.

Yes it is. My parents were vaccinated with vaccines not used by first world countries.

EDIT:

Also, consider that perhaps the West should be consuming (far) less resources including food? Eat what’s on your plate, even if you’re full, and skip the next meal. Your discomfort and hunger will help remind you next time to have an appropriate serving.

Point stands they’re barred entry.

Look, I get it. They’re icky and Canada has a long history of denying or trying to deny entry to “icky” ppl. Mediterraneans, Asians, Eminem (though I forgot about that one eh?).

Canada has just a long list of things its apologized for. Like barring entry to Mediterraneans, Asians and Eminem.

Right, but the virus was contained. A quarantine when you have as much COVID as anyone is petty.

I know. But that chestnut was probably not an American one.

No. It is immoral for a healthy, COVID recovered man to get a vaccine best used in the third world.

To travel, and get around my moral qualms, I signed up for a vaccine trial. I was refused or got the placebo.

Im not arguing for or against vaccination. Im just pointing out that some Canadians are de facto barred from entry.

The law also doesn't recognize natural immunity which is not that ineffective, is it?

The last man alive who sat with PET and the other premiers to discuss how Trudeau’s unacceptable constitution (to the premiers who had to be on board) was going to pass muster.

I literally said “de facto”. A 14 day quarantine when one has 10 days vacation a year is de facto a bar.

Nor did I argue, or am interested in arguing, the merits of banning the unvaccinated. I just stated that they are effectively banned from entry.

Unvaccinated Canadians older than five who have to quarantine for fourteen days.

A 14 day quarantine for an endemic virus just as present in Canada as anywhere else is a de facto prohibition.

Unlikely unless you’re over 70, 80 years old and these are childhood memories.

No they weren’t!

People protesting BLM didnt get scratched as America got together to condemn police brutality.

Antifa, who highjacked the protests and torched cities, got arrested. But most were released by sympathetic DAs.

In fairness the BLM organizers are getting arrested. For fraud.

Maybe he’s Canadian?

My buddy lives near Hamilton. The stuff his kids are going through is insane.

How about Canadians living in America who are de facto barred from entering their country to visit relatives?

Some of us remember the “mostly peaceful” characterization by CNN of the protests in Kenosha.

We also remember the blockade of the rail in Canada.

We’re also not impressed by the pleas by inconvenienced government bureaucrats who couldn't be bothered to investigate the arson of 40 places of worship in Canada.

What to fear? Some lunatic calling an employer and citing Trudeau to say the donor supports homophobe racists. Its happened with other leaked lists.

Another problem is that, if the Canadian government tightens the screws, the donation might be deemed material support for crime. BS, but I wouldn't trust the Canadian judiciary.

And you have the gall to call Orban an authoritarian.

Most don't learn three (and a half) languages by age 11 and use all three often. When I speak any of the three, locals think Im a native speaker and readily spot in what region I learned the language (if they’re good, the town). In any of the three I can also spot where the speaker is from and I can pronounce all the subtle sounds that give foreigners away. Sounds that even natives cant pronounce since they are not universally present in regional dialects.

Anyway, I didn't answer the question because what’s the point? I wouldn't live in Germany, or in Latvia, or in Spain, or in Greece for the reasons stated: restrictions on speech, blasphemy laws, anti-apologia of tyranny laws (commie or facist), laws effectively criminalizing self-defence. I also enjoy the self reliance of Americans; yes its exaggerated, but its more than Europeans anyway.

Ive flirted with Switzerland, but that’s not the EU per my original comment (I wouldn't live in CH either. Love ’em though)

Its a local pharmacy! This isnt Kodak in the late 90s dropping the ball on the advent of digital.

Its not that hard.

Hire a couple of pharmacists. Check their licenses.

Hire a dozen regular employees.

Assign a few managers.

Buy drugs. Buy soft drinks and milk. Buy personal care goods.

Open between hours of 9 to 10 pm 24-7

There’s no long term strategic plan needed (should we switch to Pepsi? Why not stock both?). Except, maybe, the prescience to only hire ex-marines.

With a side of sodomy.

Prison in America is unjustly violent. The only thing I agree with progressives is that, if there’s no room to jail someone humanely, they shouldn't be in jail.

This to say, the homeless doesn’t want to go to jail for a warm meal. He knows his local DA isnt punishing crime.

What do they do with the vast majority of LV clothes that don't fit? The smash and grabber doesn't appear to stop by the changing room to try them on first.

Perhaps they drop off the ill fitting clothes the next day with a note.

So Walgreen is closing otherwise profitable stores out of spite?

Do you have any evidence for this?

Italy, apologia of fascism

https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologia_del_fascismo

Austria apologia of national socialism

Germany’s the same

Finland two years for tweeting a picture of the bible:

Baltics passed similar laws for communist symbols (so no Che shirts in Vilnus!)

These are all laws against offending someone’s sensibilities. And I could go on, I haven’t even mentioned the UK!

Now, apologia of fascists and commies is unwise. But in the US it is constitutionally protected.
