You left something out that I think is important. Was the filming a crime?
Wasn't Mitt Romney's 47% comments illegally recorded? Not that I'm unhappy he never was elected president..

Term "legal vote" is functionally racist

Critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi declared this week that the expression “legal vote” used to describe votes cast in conformity with U.S. laws is “functionally racist.” “The term ‘legal vote’ is as fictionally fraught and functionally racist as the terms ‘illegal alien’ and ‘race neutral’ and ‘...

Re: COVID is getting worse

We flattened the curve. The hospitals are not overrun. Don't get me wrong. I wear a mask. The staff wears a mask. I haven't seen a patient who didn't wear a mask since we went back to work 5 months ago. I'd wear a mask even if it did little more than ease the patients mind. But it can also be a fals...

Re: COVID is getting worse

Uh, no that wasn't the point. It did make a huge difference. Death counts would've been astronomically higher without them. Each state is different though. Georgia has been more disciplined than Florida, for example. It is no coincidence that cases skyrocket after restrictions are lifted and supers...

Re: COVID is getting worse

This is all particularly disturbing because I thought we were doing pretty good with the whole mitigation thing. Everywhere I go, people are wearing masks. lol. It's a virtue signal and wearing a mask is about as much as we can do. Surely you understood that it didn't make much of a difference. Wel...

Re: COVID is getting worse

And here it comes. Ok Res Ipsa, I'll admit that if this is where we're headed I'm very unhappy. We're going to waste a tremendous amount of money only to delay the inevitable. I can't believe you communists are so focused on the 0.04% that you're forgetting the collective good. A notional lockdown w...

Re: Remember the National Debt?

Why an S Corp? Can you limit your malpractice exposure that way? Are you joking? No, it's not. Malpractice insurance is a drop in the bucket but it is nice to be able to write off the expense. I pay far less in taxes as an S Corp then I did back in my employed days. Trump's tax plan was generous to...

Re: Remember the National Debt?

Very rich people are spending huge sums to protect themselves from the terrible risk that the voters might support governments that - horror of horrors! - might make them pay a proportion of their earnings in taxation that was of the same order of percentage magnitude as (let's say) what an optomet...
