@averagejoe1 saidYes. That's how I interpret this.
Is Biden calling the governors stupid? The President is calling the governors Stupid? Did anyone else hear that, I think it is actually true.
And I would tend to agree. I had a WTF moment when I first heard about Texas and Mississippi opening up 100%.
These guys are a bunch of morons. I don't want to misjudge Neanderthals.
They've had their place in history. Last thing we need to do is compare them to a couple of GOP governors.
Hasn't Texas been through enough ??
@mghrn55 saidI think Biden is way off the mark here, by all accounts Neanderthal’s had at least the same Brain size as us. These Governors are probably related to our much more distant hominid cousins.
Yes. That's how I interpret this.

Man, you guys are blind to the ineptitude of this puppet. And this is just the start. One day you will wake up, turn on the news before your frisbee match, and say...Dammmm...

@wolfe63 saidI'm with you, that very day Trump was on the stump telling everyone what is about to happen to our Republic. I listened to, with a tear in my eye.....because I knew he was right.

It is difficult to apprise our forum of key points such as those he made, when people like Kev, et al, will blatantly throw out, for instance, "The Covid Bill will spend more than 9% on Covid". No, everyone, it will not. That is incorrect, a misrepresentation that Ole AvJoe has to clean up behind Kev, like one cleans up behind an elephant. It really becomes tiresome.
The Covid Bill allows only 9% NINE PERCENT of the money to apply to Covid. Give us a break, Kev. I'm workin' heah..

@mghrn55 saidwhat do you call allowing covid infected illegal to flow freely into the US?
Yes. That's how I interpret this.

@mott-the-hoople saidDereliction of Presidential Duty? Is that impeachable, if a Trump phone call can be impeachable?. Just askin.

So you figure its ok for the repub asssholes in Texas to deregulate to the extent the power grid cannot work in cold weather AND keep Texas out of the US grid, so how did that work out, eh?
Repubs don't care HOW many people died in the last cold wave AND have no plans to winterize the equipment because that could mean spending money, something repubs HATE to do.
They want zero taxes and zero expenditures and SCREW the common folk. That is the bottom line of repubs.
And calling them neandertals denigrates neandertals.
They are more like monkeys screeching on their branches while people are dying from the freezing weather, dying in their cars because that is the only heat they could find.
Why don't you talk about THAT issue? The Texas disaster was caused by THIRTY YEARS of deregulations and disconnect from the national grid, and the same thing happened in 89, again in 2011 and now 2021.
What does it take for you to understand those repub assswipes are STUPID STUPID STUPID proving time and again they could care less for the common folk.
Also the power company started charging NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS a megawatt hour when before it was some 30 bucks a megawatt hour. So now some folks are dealing with a 5000 dollar electric bill. You think THAT is ok too?

@sonhouse saidEasy, Sonhouse. This was a local ‘one state’ issue. If you and I live in Alaska, next door, and I choose to buy a Generac generator, and you dont....i would say what a risk ( your risk, your business, like Texas maybe?)

So a freeze happens, you run door to door ,” save me!” Like Tx runnin to get money from The responsible government of Montana. Do you see a connection there I really don’t.
As to the stupid Republicans you mention? The grid prob is almost solved.
Ahhhh, but there is this pesky DEMOCRAT problem. The Democrats have opened the border to Mexico. The Texas problem will be cleaned up in about a week, but Sonhouse, Sonhouse... the influx of invaders and illegal people flooding into this country today will last forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Do you not see how stupid it sounds for you to get mad at Republicans about a one shot deal that will be corrected and just totally ignore, along with Kevin and all the Marxists and socialists on this forum, what is about happening at the border?? Hello??
@mghrn55 saidWould you care to point to a situation wherein an apples-to-apples comparison showed that mask mandates have impacts on state-wide COVID spread?
Yes. That's how I interpret this.

@sh76 saidHere's one about as apples/apples as I have seen:
Would you care to point to a situation wherein an apples-to-apples comparison showed that mask mandates have impacts on state-wide COVID spread?
The Kansas mask requirement went into effect on July 3, when coronavirus cases were rising across the state. But 81 counties opted out of the mandate, as permitted by state law. The other 24 counties — which account for the majority of the state's population — chose to require that masks be worn in public places.
The CDC and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment analyzed trends in county-level cases before the mandate went into effect and two months afterward. Though rates were considerably higher in the 24 counties that required masks, over the two-month study period they brought the growth of cases under control and even reduced them. The counties that didn't require masks continued to see their cases increase.
On average, the counties that required masks saw a 6% reduction in cases (calculated as a seven-day rolling average of new daily cases per capita). In contrast, the counties that opted out saw a 100% increase.

Other examples, such as comparisons between North and South Dakota (SD chose far fewer restrictions but had similar outcomes) and the fact that California's strictest-in-the-nation policies don't seem to have helped it much in the winter don't make me especially confident that government mandates do all that much.
Now we'll have a nice controlled experiment. Let's see if Texas cases skyrocket over the next several weeks, while cases in the northeast fall.
I'll be glad to admit if I'm wrong, but I tend to doubt that will happen.
