a point i haven’t heard made… can’t understand why. would like your input

when people argue that they are healthy and confident they won’t suffer greatly from the virus, the opposition to that is well you may not worry for yourself but you should protect your community by getting vaccinated so your less likely to spread it. now what i would say to that is and i haven’t heard this yet: at this point anyone who is concerned has gotten vaccinated to protect themselves and i’m sure will continue to get boosters… id also like you input on the following. i’m a 30yo male in good health and am sure i would fare well if i ever contracted the virus. still in january i was one of the first to get the vaccine due to my line of work because at the time it was touted as the key to the end and i wanted to do my part. ten months later it’s proven that it’s not the answer and boosters will be perpetual through the future. similar to the flu vaccine, which is optional yearly. in my opinion after finding out this virus is going to be with us for life and boosters are necessary there should no longer be mandates.

Operation Warp Speed 2.0 to build an automotive chip-producing plant?

Do you think Biden announcing Operation Warp Speed 2.0 to build an automotive chip-producing plant would get traction, and help reverse the decline in his support? My sense is, availability of new cars is more important to many people than most of the social infrastructure items in Build Back Better. Hire William Shatner to be the frontman - remember how he touted Priceline? Video the building of the factory like the Chinese government did for the hospitals in Wuhan they built in two weeks of less at the beginning of the pandemic. Get cameos from automotive CEO's with commitment to buy the chips. -Mike Richardson 607-227-3605

Labor Market

Would you characterize this current string of labor movements as an unofficial general strike? And if so, do you see more industries and labor groups following suit in the coming months demanding living wages, more equity, etc?

2019 military games

2019 military games held in Wuhan the end of October. Athletes were allegedly getting sick. Why is there little to nothing on this? Just under 10.000 athletes from around the world Covid ground zero and there is no connection.

A Little Biased?

Particularly for Krystal, have there ever been any Republican views or candidates you’ve supported or agreed with? And would you ever? It often seems like you’re working to dispel every conservative viewpoint. I happen to align somewhere between populism-libertarianism, but I find value in both “progressive” and conservative ideals. I really appreciate what you guys do, but the heavy biased can be tough to stomach sometimes.
