#Omicron is challenging our collective intelligence and abilities to plan ahead. Our hospital systems are close to the max, esp b/c staff is getting sick. Re-upping from Fall 2020 👇🏻 cc @danielharan
Replying to @sarvay
Sadly we’re as collectively clueless as the 1918-19 folks who were told to wear masks and did not. Until a large metro area or state sustains a large scale hospital breakdown eg hospital closure b/c of sick nurses/doctors, nothing will change.
Reviving U.S. heavy industry would build a safer, more sustainable world: Clean product standards should cover all goods sold in the United States—and here is the key—requiring importers to follow the same standard as domestic producers.  marketwatch.com/story/revivi… cc @NPDeMember
Pourquoi attendre demain pour nous dire que nous allons en #couvrefeu ? cc @PatWhite70
Comme dans beaucoup d’endroits dans le monde, le Québec est confronté à des choix très difficiles. Ce qui nous guide, c’est la capacité qu’on aura ou non de soigner les Québécois malades dans les prochaines semaines. On vous revient demain avec nos décisions.

si le Québec atteint les 10,000 cas/jour on va dépasser même la médecine de brousse dont parlais TRES justement @kick1972. Pourquoi attendre aussi longtemps ? Ne voit-on les décisions des Pays Bas par exemple ? journaldemontreal.com/2021/1…
Slowest Growth on Record for America’s Population “can be attributed to decreased net international migration, decreased fertility&increased mortality due in part to COVID-19.” my take: population crash=📉in hard&soft power for America census.gov/newsroom/press-re… via @axios
They’ve shrunk 10x faster in the past 40 years than in the previous 7 centuries. The Himalayas is the source of 10 major river basins that provide drinking water, irrigation, and power to about 1.9 billion people. morningbrew.com/daily/storie… via @MorningBrew

My second essay on the decline of decline of novelty in art, science, and technology in the 21st century theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv… In Hollywood, at the NIH/NSF, and in US energy policy, our markets are failing to promote new ideas that drive progress and growth.

Jen Psaki Accuses Manchin of Betrayal, 'Breach of His Commitments' in Scathing Response to Senator's Build Back Better Opposition mediaite.com/a/lwgiv via @mediaite my take: this is counterproductibe&won’t move Manchin one inch. Dems need to find common ground w Murkowski.
Traditional Left=unable to coalesce because it too is fractured and it’s devolved into personal postures vs true ideas confrontation. Jadot should focus 100% on climate and is unable to be more than a Hollande clone. Hidalgo showed she is NOT a national politician&will bow out

Taubira and Melenchon will fight to be “la gauche morale”&try to attract voters uninterested in governing and focused on “candidatures de témoignage”. 22 will prove eventful !
