Can someone point me to a good resource or explainer as to why Biden has not eliminated Trumps tariffs yet?
re: #1 Eclectic Cyborg
Because there are still serious IP and other issues that have to be addressed, and the tariffs are meant as leverage. It’s not a satisfying response, but 3 months into his admin, they’re still trying to get their own policy choices in place. That takes time.

Also, I’m guessing, because tariffs raise money for the G, and Joe is probably less-interested in cutting back that revenue stream unless there is a good reason for it (I.e., one that can be politically leveraged to the positive)

MSNBC anchors fact-checked Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) after his rebuttal speech following President Joe Biden’s first address to Congress.“I do think it’s going to be hard for most people who are paying any attention to politics to swallow the Republican[s] support making it easier to vote line and the long passage he had about how Democrats are the ones blocking police reform,” MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow noted. “There’s some stuff there that may make sense in a sliver of Republican world, but in the news world, I don’t think will ring.”
“This is a speech delivered from a planet where facts don’t matter, which is where the current Republican Party resides, so it’s not really his fault, but it is his responsibility to get his facts straight,” Wallace said.

Excommunication is different from receiving communion. Technically, a Catholic shouldn’t be receiving communion if they have sinned and not confessed.* So the idea is that the bishops/priests would refuse him communion because of his “sin” of publicly supporting reproductive rights. Of course, most American Catholics support reproductive rights, despite what the (celibate) clergy says.
*It’s been a long time since I’ve considered myself Catholic, and an even longer time since my CCD classes, so I don’t know if that’s still the rule, but I’m pretty sure it used to be the rule.

Trump pitches media and tech conglomerate that he values at $15 billion. Mind you, that this is all vaporware.
Totally fucking believable given that Trump pitched everything from football teams to casinos and failed at pretty much all of it. He’d offer media with a Trump+ and other “brands”, with tech offerings and even provide its own cloud services to compete with Amazon’s AWS (stop LAUGHING!).
Rich Lowry: “In 2009, President Barack Obama created a spontaneous, hugely influential conservative grassroots movement on the basis of an $800 billion stimulus bill and a health care plan estimated to cost less than a trillion. In 2021, Biden is proposing to spend about $6 trillion in his first three big bills, and he can barely create more interest than the debate on wearing masks outdoors.”
“The conventional wisdom was that after the free-spending Trump years, Republicans would snap back to being deficit hawks when out of power. There’s been some of that, but the relatively muted reaction to Biden’s almost incomprehensible spending ambitions is testament to the fact that, no, Republicans simply aren’t as interested in fiscal issues anymore.”

Looking at the San Diego county vaccine dashboard, where until just a few days ago the count of vaccines on hand yet to be administered hovered around 100k or so the past few weeks, that amount today has skyrocketed wo 270k. So either the county got an unusually huge delivery this week, or the uptake among the young has indeed slowed.
Yes, blame the J&J scare, but also look at intentional misinformation from the likes of Joe Rogan. The know-nothing-ism of gen-X is not as steeped in Je$u$ as their parents, but there is a wide and deep strain of triumphant fatalism that Rogan and his gang embrace.

The community response has been so overwhelming that staff at the Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau, which is handling all of the toys and books from the city’s 12 drop-off sites, said they’re having a hard time keeping up with the donations.

Even more women, and men, will die because they won’t get vaccinated. They should’ve just issued a warning for women. Vastly more women get blood clots from birth control pills, but they keep selling those to women with warnings.

Underwater Photos Taken During Blackwater Dives Frame the Atlantic Ocean’s Stunning Diversity
thisiscolossal.com
After sunset, self-taught photographer Steven Kovacs plunges into the open ocean around Palm Beach to shoot the minuscule, unassuming creatures floating in the depths. He’s spent the last eight years on blackwater dives about 730 feet off the eastern coast of Florida in a process that “entails drifting near the surface at night from 0 to 100 feet over very deep water.” Often framing species rarely seen by humans, Kovac shoots the larval fish against the dark backdrop in a way that highlights the most striking aspects of their bodies, including wispy, translucent fins, iridescent features, and bulbous eyes.
Amazing photos!
re: #103 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

Early on in this ongoing fustercluck I saw a quote on the internet by someone who claimed to be an epidemiologist. “Epidemics are statistics.”
Enough credible reports of sinus thrombosis due to blood clotting soon after administration of the J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines triggered alerts in many countries and at that point the statisticians revved up their modelling engines and got to work. Until they came back with good numbers the vaccines were under suspicion and they still are now the odds of this side-effect are known and can be attributed to the vaccine’s administration. Maybe.
I’ve still not seen any kind of explanation why either of these two vaccines would cause this rare but significant (in the statistical sense) effect. If there is a biological or biochemical cause that can be ascribed to the thrombosis cases and it can be avoided by drugs or selection of vaccine recipients or whatever, great but I’ve still not read anything definitive by anyone on the subject, just a lot of speculation on the internet which is, well, speculation on the internet. I expect a lot of Great Minds are working on this issue right now though.

We had a company meeting on Zoom today. It included a vaccination survey.
About 60% of us are already vaccinated, and most intend to do so. 8% refuse the vaccination. A second question determined that 56% of us do not want those plague rats in the office, and only 14% are definitely comfortable with them being there, with another 24% probably comfortable. The rest are idiots with no opinion.
This will be happening across the nation. Things are going to get tense as anti-vaxxers return to work in the Fall.
