    These articles don’t convey the gravity of the situation in SF. Yesterday, Robin San Francisco (an “artsy, modern dinner destination” for “new-school sushi”) haplessly reported that they were professionally burglarized - gone are iPads, laptops, and even a “heavy-duty safe that was professionally bolted to the ground”. 6 hours after the report, SFPD had yet to show.

    Seattle seems to have always followed SF's lead on everything. At least we took down our viaduct before an earthquake did it for us.

    This is worth a watch if anyone is interested but it takes some time as its long.

    The Fight for the Soul of Seattle | A KOMO News Documentary - YouTube

    Its by the same station that did the "Seattle is dying" video a while back. This one continues on with that, but goes more in depth to current events and how a socialist city government can rapidly cause a city to crash [and literally] burn. Most of the shit has been confined to downtown (which used to be a pretty safe, vibrant downtown), Capital Hill and the University district, it is now branching out into other neighborhoods, some of which have 1 mil + homes. Unfortunately, this is what it will take for the Seattle apathy masses to wake up (when they walk out to their front yard, step on a needle and see a tent.)

    I really don't see this changing anytime soon.

    A significant evolution, favoring infectiousness over mortality rate, already occurred in the spring.

    This relates to the vaccine. By all accounts, the Pfizer mRNA vaccine is safe and effective, isolating an essential functional component of the virus: the surface-level spike protein. However, it presents this protein in isolation; the immune response is not as comprehensive as in actual infection. The protein's location at the surface makes it a convenient therapeutic target, but also prone to mutation. Overall, the vaccine is relatively susceptible to genetic variation.

    Yeah, these things form a quickly self-reinforcing downwards spiral. This usually finishes up rather quickly if you are living in a small, not terribly prosperous country - you go broke, there is some fighting, but it all gets resolved quickly, and you go upwards, having reached the bottom. Take Argentina, they started off pretty wealthy at the beginning of the previous century, and they have been following a steady decline ever since - the long version. The problem that the US has is precisely that it's the dominant world power. Since the fiscal register for people running pretty much any major American city is practically endless, this can go on for quite a bit of time. To the horror of everyone of everyone in America thinking you guys are at the end of the empire, let me assure you you are at the very beginning of a possible end, and left unchecked, this shit will go on for a really long time. I'm talking lifetimes. The obvious choice is to move from places turning into mini Venezuela, there are still decent places to live on the continent, from what I've seen.

    Easy to listen to. That went fast.

    So this is the guy who was being investigated for Russian collusion?

    I'll be honest.....I don't even know what this means, and REALLY don't know if it matters. It doesn't seem too difficult to have a REAL actual audited recount to be 1000% sure the correct person for the president is actually the one people voted for.

    Shit makes no sense.

    And there's this....not sure if true, or how/if related but.....

Until then, we have ski season starting, then pitchers and catchers reporting, and spring will bring some nice weather, trips to the beach, vacation, outdoor dining might open!!. Civil war sounds so exhausting and bothersome......who can be bothered with that.

    Unfathomable how they could ban it in the first place.

    Ivermectin next, if not already?
