tens of thousands at a minimum. it’s so truly mind boggling, the scale is hard to believe.
[The lancet] concluded 40% of the US’s roughly 450,000 coronavirus deaths as of February 4 could have been avoided … 180,000 lives.
and that’s even before his attempted coup, the handling of the taliban, of putin, of family separation, and of pregnant people unable to get proper medical care.

Absolutely right. In fact, it’s worth noting that the name of the company that makes them for the US Navy is “Electric Boat”.

Three thoughts:
- This guy really was scarred by Peter Benchley’s novel, and then Spielberg’s movie in '75.
- There are lakes where no combustion motors are allowed, For decades. They even have battery powered ferries.
- The above isn’t why he said it as much as the salesman/showman brain has latched on to how his audience seems to eat this up. He just wants to bask in their applause.

Not likely. The ghostwriter who penned The Art of the Deal has publicly stated that he doesn’t believe Trump has read a single book in his adult life. And that includes the books that Trump pretends to have written himself.
