I fear we are really going to be in a bad place due to the obvious cuts to the federal agencies that deal with infectious disease, but also the negative effect the Affordable Care act has had on non urban hospitals. Our front line defenses are ineffectual and our ability to treat the populous is probably at an all time low. Factor in the cost of healthcare and I can see our system crashing. What do you think about the politics of this virus?

Personally I wouldn’t vote for Hillary even if her opposition was Pol Pot.

Obviously tongue in cheek. I do feel that Hillary is a terrible human being. As was Pol.
It’s fascinating to me how so many people ‘around’ her get so sad and commit ‘suicide’.

Your position is not a moderate one.

Believe what you want.
And I’ve stated that the bigoted vitriol and attitudes filled with condescension of the left have pushed me right.

That’s fine. You just don’t get to call yourself a moderate.

As you don’t get to put me in a box. And I’ll call myself what I am. Whether you like it or not.

Wtf???!!! Just saw this on the SSF.

So you're in the camp that thinks Hillary had a bunch of people assassinated? I blame "House of Cards."

I’ve never seen that show. I believe it because of a family member who worked with her and many many high ranking politicians. There’s much more too, but I would never go into that on a random message board. My opinion, they all are disgusting but some more so than others.
There’s more to it tho, and many high ranking officials utilize a certain ‘service’.

Trump Slaps Gag Order on Corona Virus News

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been ordered by the Trump regime to clam up about any further developments as to the spread of the virus or the regime’s response to it without first getting...

Trump barred a top health expert from speaking freely about the coronavirus. It's one of many ways the administration has muzzled scientists.

The Trump administration reportedly barred a top US health official from discussing the coronavirus. It follows a pattern of science censorship.

You do realize that all 3 of those articles you linked to are based on this New York Times article right?

Pence Will Control All Coronavirus Messaging From Health Officials (Published 2020)

The White House’s attempt to impose a more disciplined approach to communications about the virus was undermined by President Trump, who complained the news media was overstating the threat.

What a surprise. Another bombshell with anonymous sources. Dr Fauci personally denied that was the case. You can continue to believe the anonymous sources and I'll believe Dr Fauci.

Just here temporarily(possibly much shorter than anticipated). The city is all around pretty solid. very rich in diversity which makes the food culture on par with some of the great culinary cities. It certainly has it’s drawbacks like the complete lack of city planning and structure, so things are spread out way too much(imo) and without a lot of functionality, public transit is non existent and the architectural bones of the city lack any defining character because of that libertarian do-whatever-the-heck-you-want approach.

But I am a New York/New Orleans kind of person. I like walkability and well used space. Some people love Houston’s sprawl, I wouldn’t want to retire here but I don’t hate it.

Check out pappadeaux, they have a few in Houston, pretty good (if) you like rich food (butter sauces etc)
