Except maybe one paper-pusher.
the figure "60.000" is still missing, btw.

You fail to understand the big picture. Only 1.2 miles were built in the US before being halted by a lawsuit (before Burden's EO) - which means hundreds of miles that would have been built which means that about 1000 people are now out of work, with a total of 11,000 estimated to either lose their jobs or have their jobs no longer made available. The 60,000 secondary is an estimate by the company(ies) building the pipeline.
Potential jobs lost are still jobs lost. As to the accuracy of the estimated totals - I think I'd trust a company to know with far greater accuracy what the impact to their bottom-line is going to be than government can.

professional sport always had problems with hormones, I believe including a minority to raise public acceptance won't change that. Certainly too weak an argument to call it elimination.

Who said anything about professional sports? We are talking about youth, high school, and college. And - as far as "pro" sports go... Allyson Felix is an olympian with about a dozen medals in sprints. Her 400m world record time is just over 49 seconds. Someone did a quick search and figured out that (using stats from 2018 since that was the latest available), over 300 high school boys had faster times. Its apples and oranges in regards to competitiveness if you allow biological males to compete against girls.

Congratulations, you now officially believe in Syrian Propaganda (SANA). Should I asume that you want your troops in syria unsupplied? what kind of patriot wants that?
|
That it may be propagandized doesn't make it untrue. Why are we in Syria again? Oh that's right - to secure things for an oil pipeline to run from Turkey to Qatar to benefit, amongst other shining beacons of freedom and democracy - Iran and China.

That one has been debunked also. Since I'm superlazy you'll have to scroll up yourself or hope someone else provides the link one more time. In fact your national guard had hotelrooms *as well as a garage with heating and restrooms to warm up in times where shifts would not allow them to go to the hotel. They were better taken care of than the secret service at the Kushner/Tramp residence, btw. (because: restrooms)
|
I hate to have to prove you wrong again. I'll assume you've never served - one ****ter for hundreds (thousands) of soldiers is a recipe for disaster. Where was the heating again? A parking garage is an open-air structure. Fact of the matter is the Dems should have been falling all over themselves to ensure that the guardsmen were treated like kings. They could have had marines there and had to live with dick pics drawn all over the inside of the rotunda...

read the title in the first url again. that's completely different from what you stated. it has to do with exponential growth and actions not taken in march, when the virus was "contained" and april, when it "miraculously went away".
And that fauci has something in the drawer other than injecting desinfectant & hydrochloroquin, is despite the previous administration ("Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci!"...), not because of.

Face facts - the previous administration had a plan that they executed pretty much flawlessly:
1. Get a vaccine ready.
2. Distribute it to the state governments and then move on to supplying to foreign countries.
3. Allow each state to distribute locally as they deem most appropriate since what works for one state won't necessarily work for another. Oh - and provide cryo recharges to them while awaiting use.
You wanna lay blame on failure to distribute - blame those states who managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Fauci came out and said that they were using the Trump admin plans and modifying some pieces of them. Burden subsequently stated that there was nothing the admin could do to change the trajectory of things for months.
So - either modifying an existing plan is re-arranging the deck chairs on the titanic or it isn't and Burden has no clue what is going on.
The fact that Fauci was most recently on MSNBC fawning over Maddow is proof positive that if there is any blame to lay on the previous admin - it belongs squarely on his shoulders for lying about effective countermeasures and moving of goalposts - and upon the CDC itself for screwing things up very early in the situation last year:
