Looking back again at the woman getting raided in Florida and DeSantis covering things up, what also gets me pissed off is that this false impression of Florida doing well reverberates well outside Florida. You see people here in Los Angeles whining about "but states like Florida that are open are doing at worst as bad as we are, maybe even better, why can't we be open too?" And I know my ex kept hammering how things were going well in Florida before our breakup over the summer to justify doing things like going inside her sister's apartment for dinner (and to accuse me of overreacting when I got upset about it) and I'm sure she's still using that as a justification to do stupid unsafe shit right now. I'm sure TONS of people are being induced into making bad decisions right now by hearing tiny little tidbits of news about states like Florida even if they don't live there. Likewise with creating impressions of things like masks not making a difference.

Los Angeles from the 50s:

I'm sure this will do nothing to budge the thinking of all the dipshit mass transit planners who think "hurr durr why should we do anything when self-driving cars are coming any day now."

I wonder how day one patches of vaccines works.

BTW, they're still doing a sequel that's a Zelda game and not a Dynasty Warriors game, right?

Man, talk about being lucky as shit both getting stranded in New Zealand at the start of this and having the money to just decide to stay indefinitely.

It'll never change because at this point the US is basically a cargo cult society when it comes to our current form of government.
