We just returned from over two weeks in Florida where the weather was beautiful. As we were leaving, it was cooling off to....the low 70s. We arrived back in Connecticut where it is in the 30s. Tomorrow (Saturday the 15th) it's going to be in the single digits and windy. But, hey, this is New England. It's supposed to be cold.
But the weather is not the point of this post. What I observed while in Florida was that a very small percentage of people wore masks in spite of us still being in a pandemic. This observation was coupled with a piece on TV a few nights ago where a news interviewer was interviewing Kamala Harris. He asked her why the Biden administration was not making more progress in ending the pandemic. I was very disappointed in her answer. In stead of telling the truth she tried to spin it somehow to make it look like we were in fact making progress.
Here's what she should have said:
1. The Coronovirus is not playing fair. It keeps mutating into other forms thereby infecting more people.
2. People are not getting vaccinated. Period. The government can't wiggle its nose and make people suddenly get the shots they need. People are stupid. Biden can't fix that.
3. When Biden does try to fix it by mandating vaccinations, the heavily conservative Supreme Court shoots him down. More evidence of the damage Trump has done to this nation. Now we're stuck with 6 people who are still living in the 1700s.
Tell the truth, Madam Vice President. Sure, you're going to offend some people but so what?
