Random Thoughts (Political Edition)

Biden had a Covid speech but it can't be mentioned in the Covid forum because some people are fragile

I count one, and that is you. Seriously, stop for a moment (or rather, a few days) and get a grip. You've gone seriously off the deep end lately.

This is the correct place to put this, yes. And I wouldn't go around making accusations of fragility while running away from a thread, calling people out on a different one, all the while crying about some misplaced sense of wrongness. This is no longer an argument about politics, it's an argument over you. @DanRoM said it best and please allow me to rally behind his statement. It is only because we are trusted in FinalGear to behave that you have not received any sort of warning.

Now, as per your links, it seems Biden is indeed trying to get as little in the way of outbreaks as possible on account of stupid people and the inescapable fact that most people would like to personally see their loved ones during the holidays. However, I worry that what will happen if he does announce full coverage of COVID tests is that a covid test will suddenly be $800+.

Republicans have guaranteed continued infections and over burdened hospitals. Biden is at best helping the "willing well" stay healthy.

I think the price of test will drop precipitously

Supreme Court refuses to block Texas abortion law as legal fights move forward

The justices allowed the abortion providers' challenges to go ahead against Texas' licensing officials – but not against anyone else. The court also blocked the Justice Department's challenge.

That is also aimed squarely at the Supreme Court. Now they will either show their hypocrisy, or recognize how dangerous this is.

They will never let gun rights be infringed in any way.

Thats the argument in the Texas case the government isn't infringing its a private citizen bringing a civil claim they haven't banned abortion its just an effect of people bringing civil suits that those providers moved out of state.

I get that, but they will never let the same thing happen to gun sales.

Doesn't this prove something about why you should ignore all of this for profit, entertainment news?

Not anything that hasn't been proven by countless photographs and invitation lists over literal decades

Perhaps I should have said, "further prove".
