The issue is that Kizer only has a Facebook account.  If we got him a Twitter account, he would no doubt report this shit and clean up Twitter!

Did you seriously report someone from Facebook?  What happened there?

Yeah the typical protocol is click on the picture/meme whatever and click “false news”. Then either unfollow if it’s someone I actually talk to in real life, like a cousin or in-law, or just unfriend if it’s some general acquaintance or someone I haven’t talked to since high school. Your news feed gets better in no time.

Why wouldn’t you just unfollow them?  Much of the stuff on social media is false, but you don’t want to give these publishers (FB, Twitter,etc) any assistance with their censorship.  Just my opinion.

At one point I thought if people saw shit wasn’t true they’d double check stuff before sharing it, but I learned they just blame it on big media trying to suppress them anyways so it doesn’t matter

I think he’s too late. Unless he can take us back in time 10 months and promote the vaccine better.

If I really had to make a prediction, I'd say shake his fist at the sky. Won't help, but won't hurt either.

My old company had a theme for safety called “The Road to Zero”.  It meant the ultimate goal was zero safety incidents  the unspoken understanding was that in the heavy mining industry we were in, that perfection may never be achieved, but we always worked toward it.  


I think Biden has the same attitude toward COVID.  Until there are literally no more cases in existence, we will always keep it front of mind and always be willing to endure continual restrictions.  


The Road to Zero is a fine goal for a company’s safety practices.  It is pathetic as a society’s goal for narcissistically thinking it will remove every risk humans face.

Roughly 51% of US has been vacinnated.

Roughtly 50% of the US had COVID by now (most studies estimate at given reported cases+non tested cases).


So minimum 75% of the US population has some antibodies (vaccine or natural).


Given that it is probably higher than 75% and you only need 90-95% for "herd immunity" it is literally something we should be talking about. 


We won't however because it is not part of the political agenda.

Started off as a prison colony.

Ends up as a its own prison country.
