Vanishing $100 Million: Nebraska health officials decry federal cuts​

The federal government says the cuts will save taxpayers money, and are correct since COVID-19 is waning. Nebraska public health officials worry they will hobble efforts to help with opioid addiction, and plans to prepare for the next pandemic.​

its staggering, really.

all 4 of those people are getting absolutely fucked and they're still in complete and total denial. heads all the way up their asses.

the lebanese woman and the ukrainian are bad and mind numbing but the gay first generation mexican american dude with a bunch of illegal immigrant family members.....holy fucking shit. what a colossal idiot. i'm not sure how much more clearly things could've been spelled out for him to make the correct choice for himself and his family and yet here we are.

so much of our current plight comes back around to messaging and the media. the right is really succeeding in fleecing and propagandizing way too people into oblivion.

They have been building their misinformation media sphere for 40 years. They have been so successful they have influenced credible mainstream media to normalize their bullshit. Their effort to propagandize the nation has been thorough and very successful. No amount of Democratic “messaging” or “framing” can over come their media infrastructure. Americans voting for authoritarianism will have to suffer through the consequences of their choices before genuine change can begin to take place.

Provided the legal system survives that long.

Of all the things that might have brought about the death of what was once the most respected, envied nation in the world, I would never have guessed "misinformation" making us implode from within. But here we are.

Step 1: Starve schools for funding
Step 2: Say the public education system is broken to justify starving it further
Step 3: Incentivize private schools where you control the curriculum as an alternative to the broken public schools
Step 4: Water your crop of poorly educated adults with your curated message (i.e. lie like bastards)
Step 5: Get elected on lies
Step 6: Never give up power

We are now on Step 6.
 
I remember early in the 2016 election when the GQP traditional candidates were debating Trump and were totally flummoxed by Trump's unorthodox performances.

I read an analysis of those debates by a modern day French philosopher .

His analogy was that the traditional GQP candidates were playing by the Queensbury rules of boxing while Trump was playing by the "rules" of WWE wrestling. The GQP candidates were throwing punches while Trump was blindsiding them with slams over the head with folding chairs.

I think the WWE analogy holds today and I submit that Fox News is like the network that airs WWE wrestling.

There is no way that network can come out and tell their viewers that WWE is fake because the vast majority of viewers believe it is "real" not unlike MAGAs today ( would love to see a venn diagram of WWE fans and MAGAs )

Likewise, Fox News cannot report that Trump's posturing and bombastic chest beating is little more than that of Ric Flair. They would lose their viewers.

I know it's not your main point but do you really think the majority of people that watch WWE think wrestling is real? I suppose that if the majority of viewers are 8-year-olds, which I suppose is possible, that might be a true statement. But if most viewers are over the age of 10, I think believing the majority of viewers think it's real is about as dumb as, well, people that think wrestling is real.

I've heard the WWE comparison multiple times and completely agree.
