What the Biden administration is attempting is at the lower end of what has existed in many European countries for a long time, countries with far greater equality and far better outcomes for the majority of their populations. The sort of decency and equality of opportunity and equal access to resources that the Yanks can't even dream of. A country that is completely beholden to corporate interests and right wing masochistic jingoism. They are lost.

Capcom, are you sure you’re a Carlton supporter?  :P

We’ve all learnt that being ahead at quarter time is no guarantee of winning. Hell, even having a decent lead at 3 quarter time has inspired little confidence. Doggies fans have learnt the same lesson.

Fined $400 for not following the CHO’s directions 🙄

Clever play to move the focus away from his corruption investigation.

Biden may not be ... but his administration certainly is.  Pelosi, AOC, Harris, Kerry etc.  The chaos in Mexico, Afghanistan, IRS staff to be massively increased, 3 billion for "tree equity", free college for illegals crossing the border ... I could go on.  Now on a 36% approval rating.  They're finished   

You do realise that the 37% rating is only independent voters?  Biden’s approval rating has certainly declined across the board but it is still higher than Aurangzeb’s at the same stage of his presidency.

It certainly is a nation of contrasts, my cousins in Texas are very progressive but a mate from Texas has the US flag upside down on his backpack to indicate his country is in distress 🤔

SA has just ordered that all workers in a healthcare setting must have a 1st dose of vaccine by 1 November to keep working and must book in for the 2nd dose within a month after that. So much for refuseniks being able to leave Victoria to dodge the mandate.

You do realise I'm married to one and have dozens of friends in the States that I communicate with every day ... on both sides of the growing divide

An anti vaxxer at my work thinks that when the authorised worker restrictions are lifted he won't have to get vaccinated.

Yes, I did know that.  As I mentioned above, I have family in Texas and several mates who I communicate with most days.  A sizeable number of my former colleagues are ex-pat Americans too, as is one of my neighbours. 

A bit before my time, but one of my cousins was married to Atkins Jefferson McLemore, a cowboy, goldminer and newspaperman who represented Texas as delegate-at-large in the Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth United States congresses, 1915–19.

It is a diverse nation but the "growing divide" is no larger than it has been in the past, and considerably smaller than it was in the first half of the last century.

Interesting trivia question:

When did the US Government impose its first mass mandated vaccination or inoculation?

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour

Answer: George Washington ordered the mass inoculation of the 40,000 strong Continental Army in 1777 against smallpox. This was done by infecting them with the less virulent cowpox which would immunise them against smallpox. Technically, this wasn’t a vaccination as it involved infection with a “live” virus rather than activating the immune system with inactive virus fragments or similar.
