Round-Up Time
In no particular order, some things that caught my eye:Trump's action to keep online-only foreign students from getting a visa - well played, sir! Foreigners playing the American university systems to get access to jobs is long-standing, and a disgrace. We who are the American public pay a lot for the colleges and universities - either directly, through state subsidies, or indirectly, through the colleges taking advantage of their tax-free status to amass a HUGE endowment, while continuing to charge Americans ridiculous tuitions. Yet, foreigners take up many places in those schools, because they can be charged double for the privilege of attending.
What you see is not always "the truth". This is a lucid and clear explanation of why we need to wait until the trial to make our decisions about the policeman's culpability. Too many people, including some public officials, are arguing for summary execution - what is commonly called lynching. Which, generally, USED to be considered a very bad thing.
I guess it depends on who the lynchee is.
What the hold on Floyd was, apparently, a restraint, that kept him from injuring himself or others, and kept the officers from being in a position where the only way to stop him would be use of a gun. Why do I say that?
Look at the position of his hands while he was restraining Floyd; his hands were in his pockets. That's a position that you would take if you wanted to make sure that you weren't accused of abuse.
So, was Floyd smothered? Read an explanation of the technique, and others, here. Police Magazine has information about the technique, and when it might be dangerous to use.
I swear, the Zman and I must have been separated at birth. He's wondering some of the strange things I've also been asking about.
Why is debt reduction suddenly up?
Why are the media talking about how important the Sports Monopoly is to us, when we can clearly see that attendance in person, and interest in any medium, is WAY down?
Why are people buying even more guns than when Obama was president? (Well, I have my suspicions, but...)
And, speaking of buying binges, there are a LOT of people stocking their pantries and putting in gardens.
Why is trust in Media, "recognized authorities", and the Important Ones That Tell Us What to Think, so drastically down?
Yeah.
I'm thinking it, too.
Soon, very soon, All Hell is Going to Break Loose. It's already begun. It's reached the point that others - those not normally aware of the oncoming storm, are seeing it.
It's not even necessarily a conscious awareness. But, like the restless birds and animals before a storm, they are showing that they FEEL it coming.
To HELL with the term "The New Normal".
No. It's the New Abnormal. And, most of us are WAY past heartily sick of it. Expect increasing levels of resistance. And, THAT'S when the Real Revolution starts - not because of these manufactured riots in big cities - ho-hum, same old.
No, it's when the average person gets a load of pissed-off circulating in his system, and begins to think, and act, like an outlaw. Outside of the law. Contemptuous of the law. Ready to toss the law, and it's enforcers, over.
The teachers - elementary, middle, and high school - had better stop talking on FakeBook, and start listening to regular people. Most people are not so afraid of C-19 as to consider keeping their kids out of school for another year, or even part of one. And, they will NOT see why the teachers should keep collecting their full pay for not being in the classroom with those kids.
Right now, many are 'sharing' their concerns, and talking bravely about refusing to return. Like that's gonna stop the schools from opening. Or, the parents in those few systems that don't from coming into the school board meeting, pitchforks in hand.
I do realize that many teachers have valid reasons for not wanting to return to the classroom:
- Personal concerns about health; family members who are at high risk for complications
- Pregnancy
- Old age/being in that group that, if infected, is more likely to die
- A realistic assessment that their life, if they return, is likely to be more difficult, loaded down with a huge number of tasks that HAVE to be done properly, or else, and including covering for classes without teachers (and no subs - many of them are in the critical age range)
For those folks, taking time off - a year or two, or even leaving permanently, might be best for them.
But, the actual risk for most is low, the procedures they will be using should reduce even that risk, and the exposure to others will likely result in a sweep of illness for a few weeks, then - nothing.
Followed by the protection of the herd having become immunized. End of problem.
