why people need encouragement to gt vaccinated.


In the US that is not the case at all. At this point, anybody who is not vaccinated is probably militantly opposed to the existence of the vaccine itself.

To the point that they are willing to intimidate and even assault people for simply getting the vaccine or wearing a mask in public.
Lovely.

Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris almost started crying on television:

“I don’t know how much longer we’re going to be able to do this”


It's prettttty serious, making grown men cry.

This moratorium on evictions thing.

How do landlords plan to evict all these people all at once ?

Even if they managed to do it, Wouldn't that create a huge mass of essentially desperate brigands ?

Landlords have been drooling about this, even as few have done anything to draw from the vast pots of assistance money that are just sitting there languishing.

The housing market is very tight, so with the old tenants gone they will raise their rents sky-high and write brutal new contracts to make it as easy as possible to get the new tenants out when the time comes.

As always, the people at the bottom of the food chain have been devastated with no hope in sight.

But what really pisses me off is that I personally paid more income tax last year than Jeff Bezos did.

This.
Companies/investors have been hoovering up property at insane rates in anticipation of ever increasing rents. Vancouver has been decimated by this. All of you who think super high rent is a coastal thing, get ready.

Two things are coming to a head.
Housing construction has fallen behind population growth (this hit the west coast years ago) and boomers wanted nice little suburbs and placed rules to limit how small homes can be, fought apartment complexes and high rises, basically anything to keep their 50's style nuclear family neighborhoods intact further exacerbating the problem. As towns run out of room they can't build smaller and can't build up prices go sky high. Not only is it more difficult to find places to build cheaply, you can only spread so far from job centers.

Side note, this is why many leave the coast, contrary to what many believe. Most people do not actually move states because of political leanings (it's tough to leave your job, family, friends, job certifications, company you own/founded, the place you grew up), but spending 3+ hours a day on the road getting to and from work to barely scrape by certainly will.

Where you gonna go?
Like medicine, corporations/investors figured out that the more you need something the more you can squeeze people for it. At this point pretty much any city with decent jobs already has insane rents and it's going to trickle down to small town America.

I don't know how bad Texas and Florida are for housing crisis but it's not enough to cure California's housing crisis, though it could help so don't be surprised if a few right wing Californians move. The very thing those places don't want is more progressive Republicans yet they kill off the right wingers leaving a vacuum for more progressives... Not the most brilliant strategy.

A quick search shows you need about 3.5million homes just to start easing California's housing crisis, that's around 3% of the (state's) population. California has 12% of the entire U.S. population, so it alone could probably soak up all the Covid homes in the entire south. What do we do about New York City, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Seattle, Philly... And you better get those people there buying before the investors (scalpers) buy them up and keep the prices sky high.


Even if it were enough, Covid would only be a temporary solution.
We're still building like we have plenty of room for suburbs when we really don't. Yes, we have the land but a 3 hour daily commute is not practical. Kansas literally can't GIVE land away... Seriously, they will give you 5 acres(?) to live on (homestead), but you have to actually live on the property.... No one wants it because where do you work? Where do you buy groceries? It's free because no one wants it. Meanwhile in major cities land can be more than 60% of a home's value.

L.A. is putting in high rise apartments and cities/states are changing zoning laws but it takes time*. Vegas is building as fast as they can and I know Arizona is working on a 100k home community north of Phoenix (near Prescott, it's insane to see), not sure where they plan to employ them all and that's ignoring water issues. They just stopped or severely limited the flow from Hoover dam to and Arizona agriculture and Vegas (California drinking water has priority). Water is something Florida is also having issues with (fresh and saltwater), I think they have 10 years before they have to really curtail water use if they can't "find" more. Pretty sure Texas is also heading that same direction.

Other states may laugh at California's water problems and regulations but it's the only thing keeping the water flowing there (it IS a desert after all). The number of reservoirs and engineering to bring water in and store it is insane. Take a look at the California aqueduct system and ask yourself do you REALLY think Florida or Texas could implement something like that, especially in a hurry?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River_Aqueduct#Route

I grew up there, saw a lot of it and had no clue just how massive the system actually was. They had to be absolutely brutal with the people in the way of it just like China was with 3 Gorges Dam (just look at Owens Valley). 100 years later parts are still in use but still fighting over rights and the effects of it. Do you think Texans will like having land, lakes, valleys taken over to store and flow water at massive expense? They have an estimated 50 years, but the fact that they are raising alarms now should tell you how long they expect it to take.

*No local official is going to allow anyone to build homes fast enough to drop prices even if they need it, it's political suicide. Build too fast home prices tank and your constituents (even those trying to buy) will throw you out of office. I got into it with my (anti-vaxx) brother over this and while he agreed it kept prices high, he liked it that way as the prices kept the riff raff out of his sleepy little neighborhood. Jump forward 6 months, his landlord got a crazy offer on the house he was renting and sold it without telling him. He had to move out of his happy quiet little town because he couldn't afford to buy there. For the record, I did laugh my @ss off when I found out.

high rent is a coastal thing


I am too old and probably won't be around to see it, but many members here will live to see many of the world's coast lines inundated, some to the tune of kilometers.

My advice is: don't invest in property that is less than multiple meters above sea level and/or within a couple of kilometers from the current temporary coast line.

Nah..... that is hardly going to be the problem. we have nooqular waste and spent reactors/ land which will be flooded (they're all built near water)..   Extra water will bring that inland, it will filter down into aquifers, sewage, and all piping,   Hundreds of miles of coastal will be a toxic sludge.

This already happens with heavy rain and places near old weapons plants.

This will set off massive migration which will be destabilizing and potentially cataclysmic.

Happy joy joy future everyone.

No, they are disinformed and worse, they are spreading disinformation. That is a deliberate hostile and anti-social act.

Distance is essential, they regard any sort of engagement as validation. Tragically, I have had to cut my younger brother out of my life for the better part of a year over this.

Bible bashing? I don't think so. Did you mean "Bible Thumping"?

AM radio in the US is almost exclusively hard-right oriented.

I'm not trying to be obtuse or put people in boxes, but I was kind of under the impression that in the US, all bible bashers are far right, and mostly vice versa. Is this inaccurate?

Your response sent me on a quest of dictionary and slang definitions, and specifically US/UK differences. That is something that I often find myself doing.

In the US, the word "bash" almost universally means hating, crushing, destroying, etc. I have never actually heard anyone say "Bible-bashing" although "God-bashing" and "religion-bashing" are not uncommon. I think that if you said "Bible-bashing" in the US, 99%+ of people would assume that you are talking about speaking out vehemently and aggressively against Western religion.

On the other hand, "Bible-thumping" is a VERY common and widely accepted (even by those who do it) expression derived from evangelists' habit of touching or tapping a Bible to emphasize the points that they are making during their screeds.

So yes, your point was correct although it would not commonly have been taken so in this country.

And while it is true that most religious zealots gravitate towards the far right end of the spectrum (although not necessarily for the same reasons) not all right-wingers are religious. But that does not stop the accusatory rhetoric about "liberal aetheists" (a not-subtle rebranding of "Godless Communists") and a fervent desire to demolish the wall of separation between Church and State.

But that does not stop the accusatory rhetoric about "liberal aetheists" (a not-subtle rebranding of "Godless Communists") and a fervent desire to demolish the wall of separation between Church and State.
I have never heard the term "bible thumper" before. I indeed meant christian zealots. I've also never heard "bible basher" refer to someone who is actually opposes religion. Interesting. You learn something new every day.

My impression on right-and-religious was partly reinforced by how many popular far-right show hosts appear to be vehement christians, frequently spouting christian taboos and intolerances. They are often easy to pick out in the comments on my videos, as well xD .

I was kind of under the impression that in the US, all bible bashers are far right, and mostly vice versa. Is this inaccurate?


Your response sent me on a quest of dictionary and slang definitions, and specifically US/UK differences. That is something that I often find myself doing.

In the US, the word "bash" almost universally means hating, crushing, destroying, etc. I have never actually heard anyone say "Bible-bashing" although "God-bashing" and "religion-bashing" are not uncommon. I think that if you said "Bible-bashing" in the US, 99%+ of people would assume that you are talking about speaking out vehemently and aggressively against Western religion.

On the other hand, "Bible-thumping" is a VERY common and widely accepted (even by those who do it) expression derived from evangelists' habit of touching or tapping a Bible to emphasize the points that they are making during their screeds.

So yes, your point was correct although it would not commonly have been taken so in this country.

Interesting that in the UK Bible-basher basically means the same as Bible-thumper. I hadn't heard the former term. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/bible-basher

I seem to remember "Bible Bash" being a Bible related trivia game in school however.

The goalpost no longer exists.

Approval doesn't matter, testing no longer matters (I heard one claim they want 10 years), my brother is now only opposed to getting it because the gov says he has to for work (in a hospital). Keep in mind he gets a LOT of money from that same government for foster/adopted kids and much of his employment history has been through the same gov. Someone close dying is the ONLY thing that will convince him and even that may not.

What is truly amazing is how many of their leaders saying to not get the shot already got the shot and yet they follow blindly, and then call us the sheep.
I find it deeply ironic that people who belong to religious groups, called a flock, think we're the sheep.

Maybe or maybe not.  I saw that headline and then one recanting the story.  Let's get the narrative changed to computer chips helping covid.  Ramp up production facilities immediately! This is one I can get behind

The way it's going, Do you guys think those small rural towns might become The Hills Have Eyes sorta places ??

Bigger towns/ cities will be fine.

Medium waning towns (where more young people left) may have trouble, as they can't reproduce fast enough to replace lost labor, it may be unsustainable and collapse..

If you get anywhere near requiring hospitalization it's like taking a shotgun to the lungs. You may survive, but you're gonna have bad lungs for a long time , if not forever...

Under imaging, covid lung is WORSE than smoker's lungs. And people give smokers beef about their lungs all the time.

Oxygenation is the primary cause for hospital admission, Alveoli damage, the airsacs are difficult if not impossible to regenerate. COPD (Emphysema) very common post damage.

If you get on a ventilator, then it's bad forever. 75%-90% you'll die though so.  odds right?

Why is this not scary for people?

It is scary for people.  It's why over 70% of the population has had at least 1 shot.  It's why most of the people in the US wear masks.   :cool:

No dispute on the 70%,  but pretty much not seeing masking these days. it's like 50% on a good day. most often less.
