How does this work?

I'm vaccinated but I have no proof

The place you got vaxxed can issue you another card. They have access to the CDC database.

Next, check with your state's department of health to see if they have a digital vaccine record program (they're avoiding the 'vaccine passport' term). AFAIK only NY and CA have these, but they will eventually link up to verification programs across the globe.

George Washington is dead, who gives a fuck about George Washington except George Washington Jr. who sings the hit song Just The Two of Us and might care about George Washington

I get that the average American reads at the 7th grade level but even given that, this is pathetic.

If the first American president required vaccines, requiring them (and proof thereof) is not a dangerous precedent in 2021.

"I'm scared!! Autocracy please!" is also a very dangerous precedent.

George Washington required small pox vaxxes. Requiring measures for public health goes back to day one in the U.S. and is by no measure autocracy.

You're the one scared - that what you think you know is inadequate.

I genuinely do not want to be around the willfully unvaxxed. There is no financial, gender, racial, sexual orientation or other barrier to getting the shot. It's in no way shape or form discrimination.

There is no right to infect others.

NY has an app where you can upload your proof of vaccination.

Other states should follow suit.

CA has one too. Going to be linked to all others elsewhere on the globe through a QR code.

The website is a mess though.

This site protects deniers and misinformation types yet warns or suspends those who point this out perhaps a bit too enthusiastically.

The whole "hold it until you get to a toilet" element of civil society is a curious one.

Like...shitting yourself is viewed as a mark of shame and shitting anywhere that isn't a toilet is frowned upon but it's not like you can simply order your body not to evacuate itself until it's over a toilet. That's not something evolution ever seemed to take into account.

Sometimes when you gotta go, you just gotta go. My only objection is that this guy seems to be making a habit of it.

https://kdvr.com/news/local/denvers-park-hill-pooper-draws-outrage-from-residents/

North Park Hill residents are disgusted by a man who has been seen pooping in their neighborhood. One neighbor said she caught him on surveillance video and then called police.

One neighbor says the man, who appears to be exercising, will pull his pants down in broad daylight and use the alleyway as his toilet. She said this has happened twice over the past few weeks in the same location.

Theyre coming prepared with toilet paper, but not a bag, and not coming back to clean up, the neighbor, who shared surveillance still photos on Facebook, said.

This isnt the first time public defecation has attracted outrage in Colorado. In 2017, a woman who gained the nickname the Mad Pooper was accused of repeatedly pooping in public.

Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) confirmed a feces complaint associated with the address where the man was captured on surveillance video. A DDPHE spokesperson emailed the following to FOX31 concerning public defecation:

Ordinarily, we would investigate, but because of continuing restrictions on our bandwidth from COVID, we must prioritize complaints starting with encampments, then rodents, then alleyways, then individual feces complaints. With the majority of feces complaints, we provide clean-up guidance to property owners on how to safely remove feces.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-08-02/trump-s-gdp-record-was-the-worst-since-hoover

Theres a reason U.S. presidents mostly avoid crowing about stocks or GDP or jobs numbers. Presidents have little control over broader market or economic trends, which can always be upended by nightmares such as terrorist attacks, pandemics and the United States Congress.

Former President Donald Trump broke with tradition by taking credit when stocks and growth numbers were favorable. He even went so far as to set specific targets, a rookie mistake. So to some extent he was almost asking for people to read too much into a chart like this one, from Justin Fox (see link above)

JFK and Trump are highlighted because they have the best and worst records, respectively. They dont show up in this chart, but FDR and Harry Truman also had better GDP results than Trump. That means Trumps record was the worst since Herbert Hoover, never a name you want to see in your BuzzFeed Which Former President Are You? quiz results.

There are many, many to be sures and to be fairs here. There was that whole pandemic thing, most important. Did Trump jump on the relief necessary to keep the economy from melting down to Earths core? Yes. But did he unnecessarily prolong and worsen the pandemic, deepening the economic impact? Also yes. You can massage the numbers in different reasonable ways and come up with results that are slightly more flattering to Trumps record.

But there is also the weird, unavoidable fact that economic growth generally has been better under Democrats than under Republicans. Even Jimmy Carter had the exact same GDP record as Ronald Reagan, believe it or not.

Does this speak to:

1. the inadequacy of GDP as a measure of presidential performance,
2. the teensy sample size, or
3. durable policy differences between the parties?

Also yes? Well have more data points by the 2024 election. If the streak continues, you can bet the current president will crow about it then. Read the whole thing.

What a stupid sport

I get that hot takes are fashionable now but it is not way to go through life. Nothing can be truly understood, analyzed or disseminated in a social media hot take. Drumpf was the ultimate hot take social media president for example.

The first Olympics were 776 years before Christ. People got together from all over the region to see who could box better, run faster, throw javelins and discuses farther. Jump higher and farther. They also gathered to see who could vault over a height with a pole. It was a valuable skill at the time - siege warfare etc.

I don't do it, I probably can't do it, but it is an original sport.

Every pole vaulter I've known has had these weird af mental blocks, where they just can't bring themselves to do it.

But also, does that first attempt count as a scratch, even if the pole broke? Seems like bs. Sue the manufacturer for ruining her Olympic dreams lol.

I know nothing of the sport, but to my mind if the pole fails you should get a re-do.

Obama bought a 10 million dollar house. Presidents don't need their lifetime pension.

"black man did something I didn't like, strip everyone of everything forever!" I know it's a popular tune, but let's scrutinize further...

The pension was created because a president (Hoover) was on the verge of being thrown out for being broke.

Presidents have supplemented the pension with speeches etc. as soon as they could. Just because Obama can get more per speech than Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2 and others is no reason to throw the baby out with the water.

Don't let your Obama hate cloud your vision, although I suspect it's too late.

I'm a serious loner. Secret Service following me around for the rest of my life would cause me to kill myself. If all the pressure of being President doesn't kill me first.

One of the things I heard that people with USSS security miss is the ability to just drive alone. Not everyone appreciates it but the ability to get in a car and just drive wherever the fuck you want at anytime is gone forever if you become POTUS or VPOTUS.

Driving is the 1st thing that comes up.

They miss the ability to just go to the fucking grocery -or any - store and shop randomly, wrongly or just buy nothing at all.

Anecdotally, I don't agree with much of this. My wife and I are both in great shape, exercise regularly, chug water so much that we own a water cooler, and have been up to date on all our vaccines, and we both got railed by pfizer #2.

Meanwhile a couple of my friends who don't exercise, drink a lot of soda and eat junk food, they got off pretty scott free.

Not saying you're wrong, just pointing out my own anecdotal experience lol.

No worries my friend. I prefaced both comments with "anecdotal". Obviously YMMV,

For Congressmembers, the real way they earn money is through access. They know precise person to call for any issue. Lobbyist, staff member what have you.

Ex-Presidents and VPs get money from speaking fees and the above.

According to a friend that's all Dan Quayle does right now. He's still something of a laughingstock in America, but in Asia, South America and in the Middle East he can get $300K for a speech. Europe and Africa won't touch him.

My friend arranged security protocols for him for 3 months before asking to be reassigned.

Anecdotally, drinking lots of water helps with the COVID vax.

Also anecdotally, having kept up on your shots in the first place helps a lot.

I know a lot of people who fit both categories and none of us had any side effect. Nothing at all.

If this is your first shot since kindergarten and you drink Monster, Red Bull and soda, it may suck.

Tylenol, and other OTC should help.
