‘You Can’t Stop It’
Joe Biden is going to "work like hell" to get his economic plan through Congress, Jen Psaki said Monday, as Democrats once again grappled with the harsh reality that is Joe Manchin.
If that talking point sounds familiar, that's because Psaki and Biden have used it before. The administration is always "working like hell" on something. "He's no stranger to legislative challenges," Psaki reminded reporters.

I was thinking yesterday morning about expanding our New Year’s Eve party invitation list from 10 to 45. I’m wondering now if 10 even makes sense…

I am back to being semi-reclusive. Actually, I was kind of exhausted from that October- November period when I was out and about so much- trying to make up some lost time with friends and family.
Any good book recommendations?
Graeber’s Dawn of Everything is next on my list.
The new Neal Stephenson book, Termination Shock
Thx, everyone.

Just finished binge watching White Lotus.
CDC says Omicron already making up 3/4 infections in US. Wow
If they keep reporting everyone who gets infected with Covid, it’s going to take a lot of space to list the names of 8 billion people. I was already on that list back in July 2020. No or mild symptoms. Wife has been vaccinated and is tested at work every week and negative.
I’ve had my three jabs and natural immunity. I just go about normal life. no mask unless absolutely mandated. Don’t know and don’t care if the person next to me has mask or vaccinated. My parents are in their eighties, had their three jabs and go about their life. Everyone has had plenty of time to make their choice.
Others’ free choice regarding vaccinations is fine and dandy until a loved one needs to go to the hospital with appendicitis and they receive subpar care and end up with sepsis because non-vaccinated COVID patients are hogging space, doctors, and resources. You don’t want to depend on a hospital that is triaging care.
Perhaps our way out of this is to cap the number of ICUs, personnel, and insurance coverage allocated to non-vaccinated COVID patients.
Michael Lewis “ the premonition “ is a good read
