Asshole. As of this writing, it hasn’t even taken effect yet.

Ha. Not that I think you think that’s the idea, but the idea of the Trump administration reserving them for “chocolate city” is hilarious.

The underlying thing that the media needs to focus on is that Trump wants private industry and states to take care of it. Sure Jared said “ours” and it’s a nice easy soundbite to focus on, but it’s not that they want to keep it for their own use. They just want to maintain control over it, and, use it as little as possible. (As the hastily rewritten statement on the web site about the reserves purpose shows.)

I’m … kind of OK with that.

No. Respiratory only, which is plenty bad enough.

FTA:
A guest, identified as a “registered nurse,” appeared in a 20-minute segment in February, claiming that 5G is sucking the oxygen out of people’s lungs. The segment also spread the falsehood that 5G and coronavirus are linked. Clips of the radio show have been widely shared on Facebook ever since.
