The vaccine is still a long way off, even if it works: It is uncertain whether Moderna’s vaccine will work because its gene-based technology hasn’t yet yielded an approved human vaccine. And even if the first study is positive, the coronavirus vaccine might not become widely available until...

Getting back to the subject of this thread -- things are really grim in the U.S. As Mr. Biden just informed us, 150 million people have been killed in shootings since 2007. Don't you even think of stepping outside without your bulletproof vest...

I agree with jalimon, it is outrageous that Canada is in second place. On the other hand, the linked article is 2 years old, so could it have caught up with Venezuela since then?

Greta meets Malala The historic meeting took place at the University of Oxford where Malala is a student. She (Malala) received the Nobel peace prize for her campaign for girls to be allowed to go to school. Greta is campaigning for the most logical next step: girls must now skip school en...

Speaking of Venezuela, I hope that is where Sanders (as an honest trustworthy politician) will go for treatment when he has his next heart attack. Everything will certainly be covered, funeral possibly excepted.

The U.S. is fucked up enough as it is, it does not need to go that much further.

I would not worry about Sanders himself too much, it is after all extremely unlikely that he will be elected president. But the fact that so many young (and sometimes not so young) idiots support him, is really concerning.

I know, Comrade Kropotkin, that as a faithful adept of anarcho-communism, facts don't matter to you at all, but I suppose some people may still be curious about them. Fact: the mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema is a leftist politician. Fact: as an MP (member of parliament, that is), she was a...

I am surprised that no one has so far blamed Trump for the spread of the deadly virus (or have I missed it?) Never mind, who can doubt that it is his fault. As I could never resist a well-reasoned argument, I am leaning towards voting for Sanders on Super Tuesday. Just need to be sure to...

But of course Biden leaves them both in the dust. https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-biden-cant-remember-what-sons-job-was-thinks-he-was-u-s-attorney-general

As someone commented on yesterday's debate, "Bloomberg brought a wallet to a knife fight".

There are reports that a coronavirus vaccine has been created. https://nypost.com/2020/02/20/texas-based-company-has-reportedly-created-a-coronavirus-vaccine/

Thank you as always for your profound analysis.

Trump's game was (and still is) to win. It is not at all clear that Bloomberg is playing the same game.

Bloomberg seemed to be out of place on that stage for a simple reason: he is way too smart (aside from the beer/ice issue) and successful to share it with the other luminaries. https://twitter.com/MikeBloomberg/status/1230515129877434368

I am afraid that is out of reach for him. Even if the Tokyo Olympics are not canceled outright as some speculate they might because of the coronavirus.

Federer is out for a few months after a knee surgery. I for one hope to see him on the court again. https://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2020/02/photo-gallery-federers-big-injuries-throughout-his-career/87590/

If that was your intention, it looks like you failed miserably. Otherwise, there probably would be no need for people to spend so much time trying to reconstruct what exactly happened. The impression I got was that you wrote the post to obfuscate the facts concerning that (fairly unusual) event.

Well, I agree, definitely a serious problem. Reporting yourself to the IRS doesn't, however, immediately come to mind as something that helps to solve it.

To qualify my earlier statement: the one (and only) place to trust would be a really reliable laundromat.
