Omnicron blew right thru the population of the U.S. shots didn't stop it, masks didn't stop it..closures. distancing.. booster. nope. didn't even slow it down
nothing stopped it... it only slowed when it was running out of people to infect.
This virus is out of the bag and is not going away. It will continue to morph to stay ahead of the vaccines. The next one could be very deadly and unstoppable
This is the " new world" ...better get used to it .

Thanks Rock for pointing out:

The MAP IS as of Nov 26

and the tiny squares scattered show the then
'newly arrived Russian troops,

mainly inside Belarus as: 9000 (new)
and on Russia-Ukraine border as: 6000


Your link gives an update as of 23 Jan 22:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-23/russian-troops-ukraine-threat-war-global-stakes-west-power/100772162

If we go as per Map - then 50,000 Russian troops were spread along the border in Nov and,

Since most news reports give the updated figure as 100,000 the additional 50,000 may have been deployed in Dec / Jan Still a cause for deepest concern.

Now that the first country Denmark says that they will lift the corona restrictions and it looks like Norway and Sweden are heading the same way. Media and politicians feel the need to focus elsewhere. For a week now they have started to scare people about the Russian/Ukrainian conflict. It's not a new conflict. But suddenly WW3 can start. Russians are shaking there heads in disbelief and think the west has gone crazy. But the filthy rich needed the stock exchange to drop so that they can scam small time investors yet again. When will regular people learn not to invest in stock I wonder? And also governments should stop doing it.
I don't understand how filthy rich people can sleep at night with all the suffering they inflict on humanity?

haha obviously, if you just get to know the rules of cricket, it will make ur brain go Boom. So South Asian countries, Cricket is like a religion. We follow it from our childhoods still sometimes some rules are hard to understand

Biden and the Democrats lates push is for "voters rights" and they are even thinking of changing the rules of the Senate to push it thru even thou there was "no fraud" in the 2020 election. However they wasted 2yrs saying the Russians interfered with the 2016 and after all that investigation and trying to impeach Trump all they could find was a few Russian citizens that posted some stuff on Facebook. Why shouldn't we require prof of ID when voting, they tried to make us show prof of vaccination to work, and most major cities you need prof of vaccination to eat in a restaurant. So why is it so hard to show prof of ID when you vote? And if you are going to vote you should at least take the effort to make it to the poll, or fill out some forms to get a mail in ballot. The Democrats just want to mail the ballots to all those whom may vote for them knowing they would be to lazy to do the steps it would take to actually vote if it weren't handed to them.

Anyone who is at least 18yrs old, not a convicted felon, is a legal citizen, and is not dead is allowed to register and then vote, it's not that difficult, easier then doing your taxes. Which brings me to my next point, maybe only those who actually contribute money to the government should be allowed to vote? If the government gives you more money then you pay in taxes why should you have a say in what they do with that money? At what point is it considered buying your vote? Or here's another thought, how bout we vote when we file our taxes? Or even better the amount of tax you pay influences the power of your vote? If you pay $1000 you could get one vote, if you pay $100k in taxes you get 100 votes. It seems to me the more you give the more say you should have in how they are spending YOUR money.

Compared to Chernobyl this was just a minor incident. There are many, much better places to get oil from, but too many people saying not in my back yard. These folks on the rig knew it could be dangerous and were paid well, so well it is sad they lost their lives, it is also sad to see what happens to the environment when too often these events happen because of carelessness or reckless actions.

If we look at the actions people propose to changing the things that are damaging the earth there are different approaches, some aimed at saving the environment and creatures, while others just focus on what it takes to save humans, or protect the comfort of humans. Human control over the affects from nature are rapidly growing, things such as people living longer lives, and increased production of food. Nature is in a constant battle to try and balance its self off, but the drastic changes that people are causing makes it very difficult for nature to keep up.

So what can be done to protect planet earth? For start we could control population growth, every human has a carbon footprint no matter how simple their life is. We could do a way better job of recycling, 99% of what we throw away could be recycled or composted, but between convenience, cost and laziness too often it just goes to a land fill or in some cases our oceans. Sometimes this is also a result of using more energy or material then it's worth to recycle. Garbage can also be burnt for energy, you may think this would create a lot of pollution, but letting something decay also created pollution and if burnt correctly it can be very efficient. Peoples love of travel, their need for useless goods, their desire not to be to hot or cold, all use large amounts of resources. People could work closer to home, use products produced closer to home, and less of them. Keep the heater, and air conditioning from working so hard and allow their bodies to adapt to changing temperatures.

New energy sources are out there and yet to be discovered. Hydro (water) power has been used for centuries, yet there is much more talk about wind and solar at this time. The problem with anything electric is you lose about half the power (energy) by the time it's transmitted. Windmills are affecting birds and may even be changing some weather patterns, solar only happens during daylight, it can be expensive to produce the panels, and think about adding all that black surface area to the earth that will create more heat. If they could use the roadways for these panels it would be a win, win. I started with Chernobyl so not a good time to bring up nuclear, but it is a very effective way to create energy, could be used to heat as well as produce electricity, just a matter of making it safer and protecting the waste for millions of years. In order to get away from heating homes with gas we can use geo thermal and radiant solar, not sure if in the big picture messing with the ground would have an effect on nature, I'm sure something would show up.

I'm sure now everyone will take actions on their own to save the planet, but then again you only live once so why not just enjoy it while you are here and let nature take it's coarse?

Wrong. Some of the protesters carried firearms. Even if they fired no shots, they used plenty of other weapons, including bear spray, baseball bats, hockey sticks, lengths of rebar, flagpoles fire extinguishers, and then riot shields, stolen from Capitol Police officers they beat up, to break windows.

We don't know if BLM protesters killed anybody, as there were lots of people running around fighting and looting without affiliation to BLM or Antifa. Sure, Trumpsters claim they were all BLM, just like they claim that most of the rioters on 1/6 were Antifa. Never mind the fact that all the people identified and arrested are known to be Trump supporters.

And yet apparently there is still nobody that wants to work? The ships are backing up at the Port because nobody there to unload them. It's said we are about 22,000 truck drivers short of where we should be. The stores and restaurants are cutting hours and services because they can't find help, mean time our government is handing out money left n right, but to all the wrong places. Biden wants to spend $3trillion on some stupid projects and they have already dumped $5 trillion into the ecconomy in the last couple years. What do you think is going to happen? The rich will get richer n the poor will get poorer, and the hard working middle-class will get drug down by both sides. "Let's go Brandon" and all his other buddies and their socialist agenda.

Kamala Harris meets all the requirements of the office. She's US-born and exceeds age and residency requirements. She's accomplishing as much or more than Mike Pence or Dan Quayle. I'm sure she's not Republican enough for you, but that's a feature; not a problem.
