Don't go half way.  Merge the threads. 

taken under consideration. also thinking of moving the texas only covid thread as well.

main problem i got is screwing up the continuity of the CR thread and the DT one won't mix well. it'll be a mess.

Because the original CR thread contains reasonably civil discussion among various viewpoints and this thread, well it's this thread.

Sounds like something a libtard would say.

[washparkhorn 9973]

So if merged, we might have one post expressing concern over a rise in deaths and the next post might mock those wearing masks?

That would be interesting from a data perspective.

You mean the one who brought a Cloak Room thread into the DT thread?

[MNLonghornFUKM 8983]

No. For example. Masks. I don’t remember any DT brainworm say they don’t wear masks. Or gone past a “masks required sign” without wearing one.


The shithead brigade will argue themselves blue with said brainworm because that’s all they have to look forward to in their day.

Would it make you feel better if I called you a shithead?  Because you seem to like using that term.

If this thread is in the cloak room, where are all the posters who hate CR posters going to post their non-political takes on marxism, the tax rate, UBI, socialism, cancel culture, and "wokeness?" because, you know, discussing political things is beneath them.

Don't move the stats thread imo.  That thread is a good source of info on daily numbers.

 

As merge as discontinuity with full merge, fuck it lol.

[elfenix 34749]

Thread merges only work when you do it really early. If the second thread has more than a few posts it doesn't really work.

Why not delete this thread entirely if it's pointless.

Grist? I guess there was some funny ass shit in here. I couldn't remember where the guy who wanted to kill his wife or peanut butter whiskey parts are. Those need to be saved.

I'm wearing one tomorrow to dropoff/pickup my daughter from school.  Is that okay with you?  Or am I virtue signaling?

If you don't trust the vax it makes me wonder why you got one at all.

Yes, clearly it's the teachers fault for wanting to stay alive during a pandemic. Besides, those families just need to pull on their bootstraps harder. It's definitely not years of stagnant wage growth and growing income inequality brought on by bad economic policy (any day now, it'll start trickling, I'm sure of it). It's inconceivable that we'd put policy in place to help these people. Smells too much like socialism. Wait what? Spend money to provide additional funding to these school districts to overcome these hurdles? Not in my 'muricah!   

Poor children got completely screwed during this whole thing and additional funding should be provided to overcome these hurdles. I know an administrator & coach at an underfunded district. He was basically moved to tears at all the kids who are getting left behind & there isn't anything he can really do about it which kills him.

Poor children were getting screwed long before COVID. COVID just amplified everything. Republicans decided to turn the amps up to 11.

This is what’s wrong with you radical Republicans.  

You got mad because of a mask order claiming “muh freedomz!” And then when people, even people who have been vaccinated, have the FREEDOM to wear a mask, you immediately say that it’s virtue signaling without even explaining how.  It’s like you’re purposely choosing to be obtuse here.  then again, purposely choosing to be obtuse is what radical Republicans are excellent at.

Wait, I didn't know we couldn't make fun of people now for wearing things.

LOL. You are hilarious. Thanks for the call out. Thought you had me on ignore.

You claim to be from San Antonio, yet you prefer Walmart to HEB, claim you got your shitty ass hot dog in your avatar from a San Antonio Bobs steak and chop house, and claimed that the last warm weekend last September was the last one we would have for awhile.

Just admit you’re a fraud and move forward.

This is the part where we blame republicans for school closings?

 

I am glad that my school district took a reasonable approach.  Keeping the schools open and providing options for parents across the spectrum to engage as they see fit, whether virtual or in person proved out right.  We sat out to see if the initial reopening created problems, it didnt so we sent our kids back, comfortable with the safety protocols and the trends and trajectories. I feel bad for the parents and children in districts where that level of flexibility and common sense was not implemented. The effects will indeed be inequitable.

no one is mad about masks.  they are fairly but not completely worthless against covid but wearing it now for radical Dems is about being able to recognize the tribe.  it's dumb but then again being dumb is exactly what radical Dems do best.
