Highlights of the Biden plan. The testing is insanity. By the time it is in place the worst of the crisis will have passed....it only ensures testing casedemics will be used to shut schools, sports and businesses into the future since they aren't going to have all those COVID testing sites sit empty. The eviction moratorium is going to cause increasing structural damage to the underlying economy the longer it goes on. The overall amount also increases the likelihood of a stagflation scenario. The $15 minimum wage will hurt small businesses at a time they are looking to get on their feet and make it less likely Rs like Collins, Murkowski and Romney will sign onto this and also posses a stagflation risk.

Still going to the grocery store? With new virus variants spreading, it’s probably time to stop.
Health experts say you should avoid optional trips whenever you can. You probably need a better mask, too.

What is "casedemics"?
Lots of people testing positive, not much by way of actual bad illness, hospitalizations or deaths. An epidemic but only of cases.
It's a neologism (born roughly August(?)) so I don't feel bad about not knowing it. I guess we read in different circles.

that's not really surprising....our tastes are very different since we've established you like original source history books, and hadn't been exposed to either Rashomon or Cobra Kai. I'm reading JJ's "Ulysses" right now...have wanted to get through it forever but never disciplined enough. You?
33% and change baby! Guess we are really going to find out where that herd immunity threshold is once and for all notwithstanding mask mandates, curfews, lockdowns, outdoor dining shut, and schools still largely shut.

I am in the middle of reading old Arthur C. Clarke novels and a book on Middle Eastern history written by an author with a strong pro-Isreal bias. My attack on the San Diego Public Library has slowed considerably since I started staying home most days and my son gave me a seat on his Netflix and HBOMax accounts.
That's nice of your son. Shocking, yes, but we actually have Arthur C Clarke in common (though for me it was a long time ago). Though I am very strong in history, the middle east is my weakest and I have no done much by way of reading in that region.
