When can we give Tejas back to Mexico?

Maybe the plan is to take all the now unused masks and use them to insulate their natural gas infrastructure.

Also consider people comparing places with mandates to places without them and reversing cause and effect (a la RJ) to blame the mandates. Logically, the higher the case rate the more reason to have a mandate, therefore more mandates in areas with higher rates. But circular logic can give a lot of options.

China laughs. Our secretary of state just warned us that the Chinese are very well positioned to take over. Duh.

WASHINGTON—Putting the nation on alert against what it has described as a “highly credible terrorist threat,” the FBI announced today that it has uncovered a plot by members of al-Qaeda to sit back and enjoy themselves while the United States collapses of its own accord.
Multiple intelligence agencies confirmed that the militant Islamist organization and its numerous affiliates intend to carry out a massive, coordinated plan to stand aside and watch America’s increasingly rapid decline, with terrorist operatives across the globe reportedly mobilizing to take it easy, relax, and savor the spectacle as it unfolds.
“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”
“And unfortunately, based on information we have from intelligence assets on the ground, this plot is already well under way,” he added.
A recently declassified CIA report confirmed that all known al-Qaeda-affiliated organizations—from Pakistan to Yemen, and from Somalia to Algeria—have been instructed to kick back and enjoy the show as the United States’ federal government, energy grid, and industrial sector are rendered impotent by internal dissent, decay, and mismanagement. According to statements made by top-level informants and corroborated by leading Western terrorism experts, if seen through to its conclusion, al-Qaeda’s current plot could wreak far more damage than the events of 9/11.

It’s crazy! The arguments cropping up in my community are coming from community leaders. Today, a financial advisor with his own radio show on the left winged community radio station and a weekly column in the local paper starting posting globity-gook. (He also dj’s a great Latin music show in the radio.) It’s a bit baffling coming from somebody that’s made their living reviewing and analyzing statistical and quantitative projections. Implicatory denial.

Yup. At the beginning I took a step back from some of my least objective friends. It's a bummer when a lot of "creative" people turn out to be less genuinely creative and more just average but unconstrained by reality.
For a while there was a respite among the engineers, but lately I hear lots of probing attempts to justify an alternate reality even among people who have to be objective for a living. That straight up sucks. They have so little practice, they aren't even good at it--at least the creative people put good colors on their tinfoil.
I hope the EUA turns into regular FDA approval sooner than later and lots of entities can start mandating vax for employees etc. Too many people need to get back in a simpler groove.

Gonna hit offspring a little later. Good suggestion!
Wife and I have decided that we may need to start over with a circuit of local friends after living here since 2008. <sigh>
On another note, NZ is back into lockdown due to a small, poor, religious, and disenfranchised group of deniers. Contact tracing is apparently going strong.

What you’re saying is how one might expect Texans to act. I think you have to go through a Texas spring break influx in CO and/or NM to appreciate the impact the hoards have. A significant portion of them treat the states like playgrounds at recess. It’s been difficult enough to get our friends from east of the Pecos to mask up and behave according to local guidelines and restrictions, but now I anticipate that it’s going to be that much harder now that Texas has dropped all restrictions.
Not all Tejanos are like that, but enough of them are to lead to stereotyping.

How do you tell if the thing in the road is a Texan or an armadillo?
Usually, the armadillo has skid marks in front of it.
That one circulated quite a bit when I was a kid in CO. The Texicans are worse now in Park City than they were in CO when I was a kid. I'll keep NM in my prayers.

The version I heard was lawyers instead of Texans. Utah and Colorado need to do what NM did--build a few really flat shitty ski areas that the Texans can gravitate to. California doesn't have to worry about Texans--what they hear about us is so negative they're afraid to come.

Why would I go to places like that. And those aren't nearly enough to suck up all the Texans.
