Aren't most changes happening because hospitals are being overrun again. He isn't even right in his fake premise.

That kind of makes the whole thing scarier. We have enough misinformed people that can materialize at the capitol and start an insurrection without planning and coordination? They just happened to be at the right place, right time and closed in on political leaders with intentions of killing many or all of them hidden amongst a particular days crowd. To think, we thought a small group of crazies just whipped up a group before hand and got others to come along by proxy. Just image the next one when they realize what a little coordination will do.

Looks like they just average the 12 individual months year over year rates to compute the yearly inflation rate. That means that the average inflation for the year is still under 3.7% and the last 12 months rate is 2.8%.

236.9% from December 29, 2000 to August 17, 2021 for the S&P 500.

You would think, wouldn't you? Almost like there are real world obstacles that make a simple narrative incomplete or counterintuitive.

And within states, the highest vaccinated counties tend to be the most populace. The highest vaccinated counties in Nebraska are Douglas and Lancaster.

Fun fact: There is a slight positive correlation with regard to population and total vaccination of a nation. (i.e. more population equals higher vaccination percentage) R^2 is only .1586 so it is basically a non predicter, but it is positive meaning it generally is harder for smaller nations to get vaccinated. Which makes sense, smaller countries have less resources, negotiation power, and political clout to move global forces as a nation with more people with a larger market to demand said product. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html

I bet the R^2 for total population and vaccination rates is close to 0 on a national basis.

I would venture to guess that population density, demographics, and other factors plays a bigger part than just total number of people in a grouping. Example: State One Shot Fully Vaccinated Population Massachusetts 74% 65% 10,173,240 Maine 70% 65% 1,961,760 Georgia 49% 40% 12,292,995 West Virginia 47% 39% 2,088,325 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine-doses.html

Yeah, he really needs to overhaul the port of entry process to allow so many more legal immigrations to avoid the issues of unaccompanied minors. Only going to get worse as coronavirus cases ebb and flow and entries will likely hit in waves.

Yeah, and probably has to do with the naturally smaller total population and potential to change their minds. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.20.21260795v1.full-text Lorewarn beat me to it.

Correct. Decoupling employment and insurance would be the big reason the US pays so much more than other nations. The second piece would be the negotiating power of a nation of 330 million people versus pockets of a hundred to a thousand people. CEO pay just gives you some incite on who is winning the games being played.

They seem to have some incentives. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/12/31/792617538/a-decade-marked-by-outrage-over-drug-prices#:~:text=The man was Martin Shkreli,helped define the past decade. https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/payer/ceo-pay-2017-342-million-unitedhealth-molina-cigna-aetna https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/compensation-issues/18-highest-paid-ceos-in-healthcare.html If this is peanuts, then please, just give me peanuts.

I would say we subsidize CEO’s, but it doesn’t matter what it is. We pay too much.

I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA788-1.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4856058/ We pay more for drugs and procedures and social/economic structures limit the US ability for care shortly after birth (i.e leave from work).

Is it finally infrastructure day?

Using new Geography's rankings of urban population percentages, you would expect states with higher percentages of urbanized citizens to struggle more with COVID-19. https://www.newgeography.com/content/005187-america-s-most-urban-states https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Just doing a straight ranking of urbanized population minus deaths per population rank, you can get a general sense of which states over or under performed based on their population density. *Includes DC as 51 Best states*: 1 Hawaii 2 Utah 3 DC* 4 California 5 Washington 6 Oregon 7 Colorado 8 Florida 9 Maryland 10 Nevada Worst States*: 42 South Carolina 43 Indiana 44 West Virginia 45 Louisiana 46 Iowa 47 North Dakota 48 Arkansas 49 Alabama 50 South Dakota 51 Mississippi Limitations include New Jersey, Massachussets, Rhode Island, and Arizona which already have high urbanization and were high on deaths. Also, Maine and Vermont couldn't do much better considering their low urbanization and low on deaths.

It is one of the great wonders of the world. During my childhood, it was always something brought up as a must see in your lifetime.

Jordan not helping an investigation...where I have I heard that before.

4 were standing straight ahead, like Mexico and what you would expect, and the others are turned with their hands over their hearts. It sounds like they were looking at the flag. Nothing seems out of place here.

You have more than $50 million dollars in personal net worth. Congratulations, you won capitalism! Now we will slowly ask you to pay a certain percentage of whatever resources you have to benefit the nation on an ongoing basis. We are so sorry that the very system built to help you have the ability to gain such outsized influence is now asking you to contribute a very narrow margin of what you accumulated to help everyone. If you would like to stop being a part of the society that has allowed you to gain such resources, please exit the system and join another nation willing to let you operate independent of all barriers. We are sorry for your loss. Thank you for playing capitalism in America!
