Their high rates are purely because people refused to take precautions. And I got a DTaP booster in 2017.

They are overworked because much of the staff was fired for refusing the vaccine.

[@angeiomnito]

No, they're overworked because the healthcare system was already acting with a shortage of providers stressing the system and then the pandemic increased the volume and acuity of patients while knocking out a bunch of the limited staff they did have. So hospitals reached out desperately for travel provider contracts that pay employees way more than typical employment. Which caused even more providers to leave their hospitals to get that extra money and put those who remained in an even worse situation while driving up hospital costs. And so I get to watch my RN wife come home defeated each shift after carrying an overcrowded ER worth of problems on her shoulders with 90+ admitted patients waiting for hospital rooms or ICU beds and new patients waiting for hours in the waiting room because they have no one available to treat them. Saying thank you like Jack is the least we can do for them as they receive verbal, mental, emotional, and often even physical abuse on a daily basis.

@@eric2500 basically unless Colbert was wearing two mics, one for voice one for nat sound (the sound of hitting the pot) then whoever was doing audio would need lightning fast reflexes so that the pot noise wouldn't blow out the mic, since it was so much louder than his voice. But if he was wearing two mics they could just set one mic to his voice and one mic to the pot noise & mute the voice mic whenever Colbert moved to hit the pot, as it's faster to push a button than move a slider.

By the way, one year is not a long time to change a big society. We expect to start seeing the consequences of the Trump presidency over the next decade. I mean, Europe started adopting the American New Deal in the 1960s, but only overtook America around the 2000s. If America had immediately started implementing the Green New Deal, then you would not be able to see any changes yet at all, because it takes a lot of time to plan each project and then building them. It's not like bridges just pop out of the ground the moment they are approved by a politician.

[@heimdalvonodin4876]

@@christinamartin9049 I'm working under the assumption that you are around the age of 13 years because clearly an educated adult would not say anything like this. Firstly, James Adams was the main author of The Constitution. He never owned a slave. Franklin was the other main contributor. He owned two during his early life but became a strong abolitionist because of the Constitution and what it meant to be American, black or white. The problem, at the time it was written though was that the Democrat Party had to be appeased and they would not give up slavery, Anyone who reads the historical documents and personal letters of the founding fathers will know this to be true. The new country could not go straight to civil war. It would take another 90 years before men fought and died for the end of slavery, all thanks to Democrats. And I would have to say this, The Constitution could have been written by blood thirsty cannibals and it would still be one of the greatest documents of political governance to ever be written. Some of the founding father did own slaves, that is true but I bet if you go back through your family tree, far enough, you have ancestors that owned slaves. Does that make everything your family has ever done evil and racist? Now lets cover your leftist, hyperbolic statements about Covid.. Covid won't kill us all. There is a 98.8 chance that you will survive the virus with your own immune system. Second, the virus has yet to kill a million Americans and it's been here for two years. If a million are dying of Covid every single day, no one would be left in less than a year. You do see why you are sounding like a brainwashed cult member, right? Get your facts, straight before you talk. Thirdly, your vaccines (how many are we up to now?) are not preventing catching and spreading Covid. As a matter of fact, the virus is believed to have simply mutated faster in those who took the vaccine and then spreading it. I don't know where you are on this but even the CDC is no longer claiming the vaccines stop you from catching and spreading the virus. It stopped saying that about four months ago but you run along and get your third, fourth, fifth, experimental jab. Let me know how you are feeling in five years. Lastly, Trump is a satanist? I don't know but it sounds like you are discriminatory toward peoples religion. Do you have a problem with satanists?
