Re: Karma (none / 1)
It's difficult for middle-class Americans to see how Team Trump destroyed their vision of a fair and reasonabe priced welfare "system", because middle-class Americans haven't the faintest clue what poor people have been dealing with the last 100 years of bogus prison reform, tenant settlement charities, and public health "initiatives"--right up to LBJ's Dixiecrat "war on poverty" which gave away nothing for "free".

Middle-class America is wholly motivated by profession  to avoid discovery. This is Trump's base. They're the sort uncertain why nursing homes in Washington state are COVID19 death traps and indignant that retirees disembarking cruise ships are inconvenienced.

They donate money to either immigrant legal aid or Operation Faithful Patriot, but haven't a tear for inmates and families separated by their own state's prisons.

Frozen pensions: `unfair' policy costs 94-year-old £62,000
Haley has effectively been "punished" for moving to Australia, a Commonwealth nation, rather than one of the countries where your state pension increases in line with inflation.

  • trial delays trending
  • election delays trending
  • 6-in-one vaccine trending, US-UK
  • universal influenza vaccine (Fauci and Warren endorsed)
    Scientists used the stem of an H1N1 [US Bird Flu] influenza virus to create the candidate vaccine.  H1 refers to the HA subtype of the virus and N1 refers to the neuraminidase (or NA, another influenza surface protein) subtype. Although there are 18 known HA subtypes and 11 known NA subtypes, only H1N1 and H3N2 circulate among people seasonally. However, H5N1 and H7N9 and other strains have caused a handful of deadly outbreaks and have the potential to cause a pandemic if they become more easily transmissible.
