proof the NYT doesn't know how to read charts. the blue line tops the red line pre-vaccine because the virus was still spreading more easily in densely-populated cities which tend to vote blue. that doesn't mean "masks and school closures don't work!" it means there were literally more people necessarily interacting which increased chances of transmission.
"before vaccines, blue counties had more deaths because masks don't work. masks work, but having to wear a mask doesn't work. I am still big mad about having to wear a mask in a restaurant so I don't crop dust an entire building with germs. liberals were wrong and stupid for trying to stop the spread pre-vaccine."
the way he got through this entire section without ONCE pointing out where that partisan gap came from, why conservatives are so antivax and anti-anything towards Covid specifically. 
this guy is also still big mad that he couldn't have wine-tasting parties and had to choose between funding safety practices for his kids' school or staying home with them himself.
my kids' school is one of the only ones I heard of that opened in the fall of '20 with near-hospital-grade protocols - halved class sizes, desk shields, mask mandates, face shields, 3x daily cleaning, half-days for remote learning, daily screenings & shutdowns if cases got too high. but that all costs $$$.
okay... good??? am I supposed to be concerned, or even remotely surprised, that the right is infuriated by:
* a Democrat
* a woman
* a Black person
* someone prosecuting Trump for his crimes
* someone prosecuting the NRA for their crimes
* all of the above?
personally I'd say if you're not pissing off the right, you're making some bad life choices.
it would be kind of hilarious if the shittiest princess died of Covid, and being unmarried made the shittiest prince ineligible for the crown and then Charles croaks and Prince Harry & Meghan become King & Queen 😂
the easiest way to not be blamed for causing your own death is DON'T FUCKING DO DRUGS IN THE FIRST PLACE. did somebody die? was the cause of death "took too much drugs"? then they fucking overdosed and it was their own fault. case closed, go home Sherlock.
okay and he was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder, yes?
except you don't, because it doesn't have Lily's name on it and you didn't even have the balls Marlon Brando had to refuse it entirely because of the way Hollywood treats indigenous people. you let them award pedo propaganda over righting the wrongs of history.
"we have investigated ourselves and determined we're not hiding anything." lol
white supremacist billionaires are pushing the state further to the right?
@dietotaku Wow, you mean that wealthy oligarchs that prefer to have slaves instead of workers with rights will back right-wing autocrats? Weird! It's like they're willing to oppress people or something.
@dietotaku A couple years ago, when I checked, there were seven times as many empty houses in the US as there are homeless families in need of a home.
The problem is not a housing shortage, it is a greed and inhumanity surplus.
we have countless homes sitting empty right now solely because they are overpriced. you don't have to build a shit ton of tiny homes to meet demand for affordable housing, just ASK FOR LESS MONEY for the houses you've already built.
