The Propaganda against DeSantis is going into overdrive.

Today they had Jackson Memorial (Miami) going into "triple beds" for COVID. In other words, from 8 to 24 in a metropolitan area of millions, and disproportionally over 65.

The other day they were claiming hospitals in Brevard were at record occupancy over the past year, which means the half-staff nurses are still tik-tok dancing.

AP is claiming his approval is going down, unlikely.

This is good news, showing that the evil oligarchs see him as an actual threat to their despotic control.

Right! Most counties have very few ICU beds to begin with, so "overflow" normally means just a couple of people.

Actually this is a side effect of capitalism, hospitals often need 70%+ occupancy rates to be and stay profitable, esp. if they treat illegals for free. So they usually have very few ICU beds as they just cost money. But most of the time patients can be moved to other ICUs fo bigger hospitals, so it's rarely an issue.

Free treatment of illegals is not capitalism. It's the opposite.

Agreed but they're often forced to do that. Or let's say "coerced". So they lose a lot of money which is why they have to work even harder with better margins and occupancy rates on the capitalistic side

A lot of people are done with the bullshit.
They elected Trump twice.

Absolutely right, It is dirty "divide and rule" colonial mindset.

Gov. Ron DeSantis blasts Joe Biden, tells him to do his job and that Florida is a place for freedom, not a "biomedical security state."

HunterTits says

If he were serious, he'd fire all the teachers like Reagan fired the air traffic controllers.

That includes banning them for life from ever working for the State of Florida or one of its counties and munis.

That would be both extremely disruptive and long term ineffective. Teaching school is something that’s mostly done by women. People have wives who do this and won’t be pleased by such a move.

The best way to go would be non-renewal of union contracts and force teachers to be right to work.

And if it gets really bad Trump can move a hospital ship in...

Our journalists will be soon forgetting English after China visits.
Mostly news will be about Xisus, the new prophet.

Police fired a gun to subdue an old man

Tianjian Police fired a shot on Friday (6th). It can be seen from the video that six police officers are chasing an old man. One policeman fired the first shot at the sky. After the old man was subdued, the police shot another shot.

There’s no racial group more abjectly racist and classist than Indians. World wide. No wonder Hitler was impressed with them!

This does seem to be provably true:

India, being the vast and densely populated nation that it is, is not saved from the cruelty of racism. Frankly put, our country is divided on the lines of colour, gender, religion and caste. In a map of a survey released in 2013 by The Washington Post, India was shown to be one of the most racist countries in the world.

They need to seriously fix their shit. I think big problem is admitting your faults.
Hindooo over here will claim that "caste system" is a virtue... I can see in real time in US How colonials would have brainwashed segment of affluent Bhartis to become Hindoo.

I am just wondering purely from economic side if this can be profitable venture and successfully compete with air/road.
Based on my understanding the distance is sweet spot between air and road.

CCP thinks that spreading evil can win her world domination. Bad Karma will come back to bite.

I still believe that this would be a blockbuster between Boston MA and Richmond VA which has metro areas totaling some 60M residents. Almost everyone would prefer this over driving & flying, esp if the speeds were in the 150+ mph category.

I’ve always envisioned the California train as being kinda third world. Migrants using it to go up and down the valley with the crop seasons, shaking and rattling as it jogs slowly making some slight sways and turns, and sitting next to some people holding small chicken cages with a few hens setting inside em. And this is a nice description to what I see when I ride the LA Metro. Don’t even get me started on that. Shhhh, ohhh huuhuhh. oh hell no isn’t gonna go there at all. Eh ah! No ways gonna play that shit I ain’t.

I would prefer to sit next to a hardworking farm or factory worker compared to city drug addict or snooty elite.

I always heard negative things about its economics with critics saying it wouldnt pay for itself with fares.

Regardless, if they build it, and it keeps running, I've always felt that it would likely create some real estate investment opportunities in the areas around its path, such as in the central valley, as I have little doubt that adding high speed transportation would make those areas more desirable to live in - people could live there and enjoy the extremely cheap land (by ca standards) and commute by rail to job centers in la, the bay, or sac.

In fact, I would be surprised if this wasn't one of the motives behind it - some investors convinced CA politicians to build it, sticking the ginormous cost onto the tax payer, while they watch their land holdings appreciate.

It could also help the snooty liberal elite access more cheap illegal house maids in la or the bay, while paying them crumbs, which is enough to live on in the central valley if they can commute to work.

If you read the history of chinese High speed rail, The first few lines which made economic sense were hugely profit.
After that "social or communist control engineering" lines are bleeding red and railway have $1T of debt.

You need to have sweet spot around 500miles and connecting two huge cities. SF-LA, northeast. may be connecting Houston-Dallas etc. will make perfect sense.
If You try to connect SF with new York etc... Then you will create white elephants.

Greenies do something in china too...where environment really need help.

Yup, this is pretty much how government operates.

Use taxpayers to invest in something for the benefit of specific wealthy people. Maybe the rest of us benefit by coincidence, but that's not the goal or the reason it gets funding.

Paywall? Well, first, I suspect the journalist doesn't know fuck all about what they are talking about, second, I'm not paying to read an article which in all likelihood was created simply to get people to read it.
