There are six people in my office. Large global company, but local offices. Me and one other are unvaxxed. The rest are vaxxed. I know that 3 of the 4 are boosted. One is in his 60's (boosted), 50's (boosted) and two in their 30's. I know for sure one is boosted, but I'm willing to put money on the second one as well.
My mom and dad are vaxxed and boosted. My in-laws are vaxxed, they didn't want travel to restrict them to see my sister in laws. They refuse to be boosted. All of our kids (adults) are at least vaxxed, like 3 of the 4 boosted.
When they opened the shots to those under 5, I'm sure that one of my two grandbabies are going to get it. The other, I'm not sure...
My husband and I are ensuring we say yes to any time to spend together with our vaxxed family members. I'm going to go on vacation with my mom for a week in Sept, just her and me, no hesitation on saying yes. I just want to make sure we spend the time with them while we can. Hubs and I have spoken and we are trying to mentally and emotionally prepare for losing all of our family.
My husband and and I have 80 miles round trip, we car pool since our schedules and distance (once in town) are pretty similar. We bought a hybrid in 2019 to cut down, we were over 100 miles a day at that point. Our hybrid battery died last week, we are in old reliable.. the dodge charger with a hemi. It costs me between 25-30$ a day for us to go to work.
We aren't rich, we are comfortable....but we are definitely tightening the belt.
Just got an email that it is ready in our area. We've had a deposit on it for a while. We are in an area with little high speed coverage. We are some of the lucky ones to have DSL, vut the speed is 7-8 mbps tops and constant issues. Those in the area that have it are showing 100 plus.
I will never forget the look on thr CNN folks faces when they realized Trump was going to win in 2016. Clearly, they way they spoke all night was Killary winning...the utter look of shock and disbelief...yeah, they didn't cheat enough.
I can't get this to translate on my phone, so I'm using a good old copy and paste from Russian to English.
The general idea I'm seeing appears to be that they have documents of some sort that kink covid to us via Ukraine biolabs. This is my best guess off of translating this way.
Kind of wish I could understand Russian a bit.
I read somewhere, don't ask me where..can't remember...that the news article was alledging that Saudi Arabia had threatened to drive price per barrel up to $150.
Not sure the validity because at this point I don't ha e the time to deep dive every article, but if they are our main suppliers...then it makes sense. Thr article also said that Russia and Belarus accounted for 7% of our supply. 🤷♀️
Anecdotally, I was scrolling the tikity tokity today and there was a service member is a mess hall being amazed they were being served crab legs. I came across some vets reacting to it saying that it appears to be a morale meal and likely going to be boots on the ground.
I'll emphasize Anecdotally
I was born in 81 and I was worried about nuclear bombs for quite a few years of my young years. Maybe those born 3-4 years after me may remember it, but I remember it quite well. Russia has been the bad guy from at least the 1940's on.
You have to remember people born very early 80's back into the 60's grew up when Russia wad the big bad wolf. I have to admit, it took me until late last year to question the idea that maybe Russia isn't what I was "taught". It's some amazing multi-decade programming.
Right now, we are concerned of exposing children to all the things the left is doing because they are young and impressionable. Now, take a few generations (Elder Millennial, X, Boomers, etc) where a lot of our young impressionable years we were taught Russia was bad and had a finger on the nuke button with a bad temper. Give us a chance to reconcile that with what we know now....got some reprogramming to do.
First drops in AZ are early votes. Repubs came out like crazy day of...so...give us time.
