    we're pretty much fucked. i'm half way through this doc about how renewables and green energy is intertwined and reliant on fossil fuels. bit of a reality check.

    have had similar experience w/someone i know who is in his 20s. an engineer. has a really interesting job making things for healthcare purposes. fixing MRIs and making parts for things like those robots that do surgery. spends lot's of time w/doctors in hospitals etc. After a couple years he finally admitted he thinks healthcare should be free. He said many things over the previous 4 years about wishing the right would go big time on renewables and environmental conservation. he's somewhat of a Futurology type who is way into tech and design etc. but there's a huge disconnect when i make sure he understands that those things he thinks are part of a better future are in no way part of the plan that the right has embraced and is pushing. there really is some kind of fear that capitalism is only safe in the hands of the right and w/o the right w/their finger on the scale we'll end up a socialist country like cuba or venezuela or whatever non-realistic example. even after explaining that socialism isn't what biden and most or all of the left is pushing for.. just a better safety net, better education ,free healthcare and like 5% more taxes on people who are fucking rich. Once he said "well, if you were in my tax bracket" which i just said - "stop dude.. just stop". he's also anti-abortion, smokes weed. but grew up in a conservative household. so his parents did a number on him i guess.. as happens to a lot of people. i told him no one would know if he votes for biden and he could tell his conservative family he voted for trump... but i'm sure he voted for trump out of fear of communism marching down main street or some other fantasy drilled into people's heads. how can educated people be so stupid? it's not even a conservative philosophy at this point.. it's something else. i have a conservative or two in the extended family who stayed home in 2016 even after asking them to just hold their noses and vote for hillary for all that is sane.. but nope.. even though they were afraid of trump and his wacko followers they couldn't bring themselves to vote for hillary. college education with masters in business but nope.. can't do the selfless thing and swallow the pride. but that's hillary and they all hate the clintons because what/// fuck it.. we have a few more days and we'll see what's what.

    trump is just promising anything to anyone as he's always done. he even changed his religious affiliation from presbyterian to general christian to appeal to a wider audience of jesus people.

    not to mention wrecking the post office. edit: 538 is tracking voting and voting problems. https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/trump-biden-votes/ A Legal Battle Over Absentee Ballots Brewing In Minnesota The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled that Minnesota cannot count ballots that arrive after 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. Earlier this month, a federal judge upheld a state court agreement — originally approved in August — that allowed the counting of absentee ballots received up to seven days after Election Day, but state Republicans quickly appealed the decision. In its ruling, the 8th Circuit wrote that the state legislature, not the secretary of state, had the authority to set election law. It also instructed the state to segregate the late-arriving ballots; it remains to be seen whether they will be counted.

    don't forget whatever shenanigans come after election day in the courts. trump team is ready to call the election over on election night and push the decision into the courts in an attempt for ballots not counted yet to be disallowed. This would be contrary to every election which usually isn't certified until after election day. Ballots are always counted into the days following the election.

    i've seen several reports about it spreading in the states from lot's of indoor gatherings of friends in peoples houses and stuff. people feel safe "oh i'm just with my family and a few friends" having a BBQ or celebration of some kind. Apparently lot's of people are doing that kind of thing and it's hard to monitor and hard to track etc but in USA it's apparently the type of event that is the source of lot's of spreading events.
