Gotta agree with the headline. Holy hell the infill looks ugly.

"It is pushing alongside HE’s stifling culture of risk aversion and lack of understanding of historical railway structures."

Risk aversion may actually be a really good explanation for how this happens. And probably related to the insanity we've seen around covid.

"U.S. border restrictions for Canada, Mexico renewed until Aug. 21"

Remember that these restrictions _only_ apply to the land borders. Air travel has been exempt from the essential travel restrictions the whole time; COVID-19 knows not to infect people rich enough to fly in.

It's just science.

"Due to the daily limits put on the amount each person can transfer, Rickards said the veterans had to solicit help from their families and friends to wire money."

I think we all know what fixes this...

@privacyint The time to oppose those measures is now. A pandemic is no excuse; if it is, you'll find out you're in a pandemic all the time.

Which is scientifically true: the flu is a yearly pandemic.

LoL, just got harassed by a morbidly obese women wearing a "I'M FULLY VACCINATED" lanyard around her neck for not wearing a medical mask (I _was_ wearing a bandana, 100% legally).

I've had almost no mask-related harassment this whole pandemic. I wonder if covid fading into a non-issue will make nutters like her resort to more ridiculous stunts for attention?

Be wary of people trying to abuse language and connotations to shame, pressure and govt-coerce people into taking it.

Covidians who pinned the world's hopes on vaccines own the decision to shutdown. They don't get to pin their failure on other people.

@Synclair jesus fuck.... they haven't even bothered to take the article down!!!!

choice quotes 2 seconds in:

"The prospect of Americans lined up like sheep to “take a needle” peddled by a fraud like Donald Trump"

". While most medical experts have already recoiled in horror at the idea of a vaccine strangely timed to come out by November 3rd, a good number of credulous Trump supporters would doubtlessly gladly bare their arms,"

60% were already double jabbed. So much for 'safe and effective'.

Remind us again why you want to mandate vaccination before people get their rights back again?

We need to improve our messaging so that the freedom hesitant understand that other people have rights.
