Spill ..

 


California Democrats are distancing themselves from the Biden administration over recent supply chain and environmental crises in the greater Los Angeles area.

Fox News reached out to 24 Southern California House Democrats asking if the Biden administration has done enough to alleviate the supply chain bottleneck at the two Los Angeles ports. Also to address other public safety crises, including a massive oil spill off the coast and a fire that broke out on shipping containers due to the vessel backlog. 
Not a single Democrat responded to Fox News regarding what needs to be done on the local and federal levels to immediately solve these crises in their own backyards.

Impact...

 


We do sanctions against many countries including, North Korea, Cuba and others. Now we are getting a temporary supply chain interruption and is impacted our lives and our economy. 

Just a thought.

Awkward...

 

Poorer...

 



Sanders, writing in the Charleston Gazette-Mail, described opponents of the legislation as “every Republican in Congress as well as the drug companies, the insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry and the billionaire class”.
He added that opponents of the bill support a status quo “in which the very rich get richer while ordinary Americans continue to struggle to make ends meet”.
Very great half truth here. The other side of the equasion is what not just to collect more money, but what do we do with it right after we got it.
What did the politicians do with the money? Or it is just hate for the rich with no help offered to the poor?
A rich city like New York with budget around 100 Billion Dollars annually and the number of those who needs food.... 2 millions... road, services, sewer, crimes, ..
The poor gets poorer not because of any thing except money wasting apparatus.

Reimplantation...

 



The Biden administration told the courts late Thursday that it plans to reimplement the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy in mid-November if it can get buy-in from the neighboring government.

The move comes after an initial victory by Texas and Missouri in a suit that argued the Biden administration too hastily withdrew the policy, under which the U.S. transported 70,000 asylum-seekers to Mexico to await a determination in their case.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has appealed the case and is working on a memo to rescind the program anew, but it is still required to reimplement what was formally termed the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) 

In a call Thursday, DHS told multiple outlets that it would seek to curb some of the effects of the program as implemented under the Trump administration, which saw many migrants simply give up on their cases after lengthy waits in dangerous refugee camps along the border.

Round and Round  we go

Dr. Dan Barouch, who runs the virology center at Beth Israel and led the study, presented the data to the FDA’s 
Antibody responses from the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna messenger RNA vaccines peaked after full vaccination, and then began to decline six months later.
The researchers found the decline continued after eight months. While Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine produced a much lower initial antibody response, it remained “relatively stable” for the eight months observed, with “minimal-to-no evidence of decline,” according to the study.
Two to four weeks after vaccination, the researchers found the median live-neutralizing antibody titer for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to be about 1,790 and 5,850, respectively. But after eight months, those figures declined by 34- and 44-fold, and the trend was similar with other antibody measures.
Barouch’s lab also looked at T cell responses and found those responses were stable over time, for all three vaccines.
The median levels of virus-fighting antibodies for the Johnson & Johnson shot were initially about 150 — much lower than the mRNA vaccines — but then it jumped to about 630 after eight months.
Beth Israel codeveloped the Johnson & Johnson vaccine alongside the New Jersey-based pharmaceutical giant.
So what to choose for the most vulnerable?   Just a thought.

A new plan for a sky scraper, two hotels and a street-level promenade could be built on a lot near the Javits Center that is being redeveloped after sitting empty for years, according to a newly unveiled proposal.

In March, the state announced it was seeking proposals to build on the site, which it called "one of the last remaining vacant parcels on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan."
The entire development team is majority-Black, including Peebles' leadership. The construction firm, the McKissack Group, is the oldest minority/women-owned design and construction company in the U.S.

In addition to the skyscraper, the project will include a new headquarters for the mid-Manhattan branch of the NAACP, two hotels, an observation deck and a skating rink, as well as commercial office space, the developers say.

The development materials make no mention of residential units, however — an omission that could run up against the preferences of Community Board 4, which has asked for affordable housing to be built there. The state acknowledged that request when it issued the RFP in March.

*The State haven't listen to the Scientists unless want to get out of a jam.
*Covid-19 cause death of more than 60,000 people in a few months and the Governor said NYC is condensed. But yet it is the State that want to do more of the same.
* A great tower to come up on the same Sewer system that was built in 1900 where a rain for four hours cause death, flood and death and massive destruction.
* Climate change that every politician declare where no action was taken as if they are blaming the common people lack of action.
 

Haven't we ruin the quality of life already in the city.   Just a towering thought.

Although psychologists haven't defined a textbook definition of egotistical, the traits are similar to someone who would be deemed a narcissist. ...

The easiest way to remedy an egotistical personality is by expressing curiosity in others. “Ask more questions and challenge yourself to learn something new,” Dierickx says
