  1. My grandfather didn't even have the virus but with the first shutdown (which was unjustified at the time with our low number of infections) But as a resident of a nursing home under lockdown, he was denied access to the hospital and as such died from an untreated bacterial infection.

  2. They are different candidates against different opponents in different years OF COURSE they are going to have different results.

  3. I wish more people would cover NAFTA it's a huge issue and a massive number of middle class American jobs are on the line. (More so if it falls appart than if more manufacturing moves to Mexico.) But people would rather spend an entire week debating one tweet.

  5. This time there is no war, no substatiated animosity, and they are children. The argument that they could be spies is not going to fly. Not to mention ease of information sharing (videos, emails, social media). I highly doubt it will go unscruitinized. Also, 150 supervisors for 5000 children is completely insufficient the average inept "educated" caregiver/teacher can't/won't even catch bullying in a classroom of 20-30. Under those conditions, I would expect violence, crime, murder, possibly even rape occuring (both from abusive adults, and between children) as a result of extreme conditions and insufficient oversight.

  6. So then Governor Palin, who is responsible for the societal problem of not taking responsibility?

  7. So... no witnesses?

  8. If you are afraid of communism, Why have ANY faith in trump? Widely suspected to be under the thumb of Putin, who is far more like Castro (even trump is) than Joe Biden.

  9. Change of heart just for show because we know he won't be called in?

  10. Supply and demand has been the most effective principle (that we have easy influence over) demonstrated to affect housing costs. Creating a state of oversupply will reduce the cost of living in cities like San Francisco, and San Diego.

  11. I don't get it either, but I have been seeing it more and more in Canada. (As your hyper-partisanship spills over despite a lack of valid parallels in most situations)

  12. No, because safety is a legitimate issue for officers and their families particularly former undercover officers (which many are).

  13. We call it 'C'-'sis'. But pronouncing acronyms as words is dumb, so continue as you like.

  14. I can assure you. The US is more of a joke now than it was to the British Empire prior to the war of independence. (In other words, the biggest joke ever)

  15.  Councilman Les Wynan  Only if you happen not to have any long term investments, when it hits.

  16. I hope gerrymandering gets outlawed because if the actual left extremists that we see online end up holding office. They don't think gerrymandering is inherently wrong. They think everything they do is justified because it opposes republicans. Democracy needs to be fundamental. I don't care for the hypocrisy of "yeah but now we have it". Left, right, middle, or other, make sure your local, state, and federal governments outlaw gerrymandering.

  17. Look this situation wasn't handled well esp. by Trump. BUT... There are consequences to shutting down the country, both monetary, and casualties. I don't have the numbers so I can't say at what point one outweighs the other. However, it is still something we need to consider (the consequences, and deaths both direct and indirect from combatting the virus in this manner). Turning a blind eye is negligent. How could this kill people well. In the short term it won't kill many but, there will be people becoming homeless as a result of job losses, some won't recover. There are at risk individuals with mental health issues where (we all know, isolation is the worst possible thing for them) and there will be an increase in suicides as a result. Limiting access to healthcare that is independent of the virus treatment, will also cause problems/deaths. Then there's starvation risks. Again, job losses affect the ability to feed ones self as well as shelter. Not only that, not every individual has a kitchen in their dwelling (as sad or absurd as that may be), if restaraunts shut down. They just won't be eating. Not everyone has a nearby grocery store, if they can't take public transit, and restaraunts won't deliver, they may not be eating, or it's still winter and there is then an increased issue of cold related injury, illness, death, and if they are outside all the time commuting for groceries, they're increasing the Covid transmission risk. So even if people aren't losing their jobs immediately from the virus, a lack of opportunities resulting from the massive economic downturn resulting from the shutdown may mean no-new opportunities for a long time. Which means more opportunity for these issues. It is something that is extremely difficult to measure, but it is still an issue. These things are always a number's game, and failure to plan ahead could potentially cause more harm, than doing nothing. (again it's a possibility, I don't have the numbers and I am not saying we shouldn't take these distancing precautions).

  19. Can you please start covering some other news also? I am about to stop watching entirely.

  21. People who think intent and context don't matter needto "reboot" their opinions. Anything can be contorted into an offence. If something is done in mockery, it begs punishment and reform; if something is done in support or appreciation it begs commendation at best, or education, at worst.

  22. The only way this is going to work for Burnie is if, the debate goes so horribly wrong for biden that it becomes a viral meme, and causes a total upset.

  28. That seems to always be the way. Or at least with the dishonest, and with the extremely narrow minded.

  29. It would be nice if we all stopped using the term "cancel" in this manner. It just seeems so... Cheap? Contrived? Flippant?? Overly simplistic?

  30. That said, The political parties are not democratic as we saw last time, unless a low poll-er gets backing from all the DNCs major backers they will be plotted against in every way they can.

  31. Pakman is very impatient with speakerphone. Though to be fair, the echo is a problem. It would be nice if he were more calm and polite about it. Probably the best response would have been to request a fix when it first presented, failing that, mute the call. Say, "hey I will answer your question, and give you a minute to turn off your speakerphone while I do that".

  32. Why isn't there a big move to sell personal protection, not weapons? If you have to make a consumption solution to appease the people, kevlar and newer composite body armors would make a direct and measurable impact on deaths by gun violence. ...Rather than a hypothetical one (that guns will disuade crime, which may very well be true for casual crime, or crimes where risk outweighs reward, but not crimes where a person must steal to survive, or has resigned themselves to death). I guess it would work against the narrative that guns aren't dangerous.

  33. I like how new videos show up in search before they show up for subscribers or on your channel....

  35.  @ThaOneChrisJONES  It's always a slow descent with people accepting more and more crap. Until they finally open their eyes and find they've been buried in it.

  36. Isn't trump claiming he already made america great again? How fortunate for him that his narrative is so flexible that he can claim two opposing positions and garner support for both.

  37. I do however think you are overexhaggerating the level of Joe Biden's performance.

  39. David "I think that's too easy to dismiss just like that" 11:35 (interrupting a point before it is fleshed out) Also david, "Here is some unsupported rhetoric and supposition based losely on extreme examples to dismiss all of your points". 13:59 My mistake was coming back to give you another chance at objectivity after some time. This is sadly the kind of reporting you do now, maybe you have always done. I will keep coming back from time to time, to see if you have improved or if you still can't hold a serious discussion on a topic you have already formed opinions on. You aren't like this all the time, but when you are, it's bad. You should really consider being more flexible for the sake of holding a non-anecdotal discussion and truly explore the flaws and merits of an issue.

  40. Biden seems like a good guy, I don't know if he's capable or what his positions are I haven't looked into it.

  41. Their partial release is unsurprising, two leaders in an effective tie at the moment and they advertise the one they like as 'in the lead'.

  42. Anyone should always question a vaccine's safety or medication's safety. Then make an informed decision.

  43. Between his ego (possible mental instability) and fear of all the impending lawsuits, I think he is far more likely to go all Emperor of the Republic.

  45. I don't buy it, we have seen utter incompetence by the DNC consistently (as with nearly every political figure and party these days). If some extremist ran on the right narrative using all the right strawman arguments and labels to dismiss the valid concerns of their opponents, people would eat out of their hand just the same: Ignoring the inevitable hypocrisy and the resulting major social and economic consequences (just as with Trump).

  46. Stop spamming the comments with the same posts Linda. For everyone's sake, relevant replies please. @Cexy M That is a positive ...sign

  47. Canada predicted this childish retribution... But I still think they should have stood up for what they new was right regardless of the consequences (even if they knew everyone else would vote the way they want).

  50. Don't worry guys he's not actually racist because only caucasians can be racist... (facepalm) I don't care who's doing it racism is racism and is not ok.
