Wonderful..

 

 Truly the most wonderful time of the year, cheers Reason’s C.J. Ciaramella, because Mayor de Blasio, “a bumbling punchline of a politician, is finally leaving office.” And though “it’s tempting to . . . focus on the clownish moments,” we’d be missing out on “the spectacular failures and hypocrisies of his policy initiatives.”

 Indeed, “his only real flashes of political acumen were when he was rubbing disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a thin-skinned blowhard and fellow authoritarian who couldn’t help but take the bait.” Hizzoner’s “ ‘progressive’ tendencies only manifested themselves in authoritarian diktats against New Yorkers who weren’t powerful enough to fight back.” 

Yet the mayor “never had a real interest in taking on the injustices perpetrated by the government he ostensibly controlled. nor fixing anything with housing, transportation etc.”
Just "Somone's" thought.

History..

 

Horrific scenes seen in previous Covid-19 waves are “now history,” according to John Bell, a regius professor of medicine at the University of Oxford and the U.K. government’s life sciences advisor.

Bell analyzed data from the U.K., where cases are breaking records and hospital admissions are at their highest since March. He said that the number of people in ICUs who are vaccinated remains “very, very low

The horrific scenes that we saw a year ago intensive care units being full, lots of people dying prematurely that is now history in my view and I think we should be reassured that that’s likely to continue.”

He added: “The disease does appear to be less severe, and many people spend a relatively short time in hospital. They don’t need high-flow oxygen, average length of stay is apparently three days, this is not the same disease as we were seeing a year ago.”

Boasting ..

 

Critics panned President Biden on social media for boasting about his 2021 economic record.

"We’re ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years," Biden said on Twitter Wednesday. "Let’s keep the progress going."

"And at the end of 2021, with what one analyst described as the ‘strongest first-year economic track record of any President in the last 50 years’: nearly 6 million new jobs, a record number for a new President, because of my staff and my Cabinet.

is there any boasting Mr. President of the Gas prices that you personally shot it down, increased the prices worldwide and enabled the OPIC to get rich from the USA and other European Countries?

Is there any boasting Mr. President on the Build Inflation Back Better where employed people can't afford today's prices under your status?

Is there any boasting on your achievement on 2021 of managing and prevent the death from Covid which reached 800,000 plus, that you and the VP promised great actions similar to the Ebola Epidemic?   Just a "Basted" thought.

Fraud..

 

Mayor-elect Eric Adams announced a new office in City Hall that will crack down on waste, fraud and abuse in city government and his first targets will be the bloated budgets of the Department of Education, Department of Correction and New York City Housing Authority.

“We are not giving taxpayers their money’s worth every day and that’s what we are going to change. making sure our government is going to work for our taxpayers,” Adams said Tuesday in launching the newly created Mayor’s Office of Risk Management and Compliance.

“We’re going to be rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in our agencies,” Adams said from Brooklyn Borough Hall where he’s serving his final days as borough president.

That begins with rooting out the other guy who just waste it.  

Just a thought.

Crisis..

 

Fault..

 

Adam..

 

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. 

First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. 

By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets.^[1]

Failed..

 

Someone has to say it, and I derive no pleasure from doing so. But here goes:

The Omicron wave is exposing the limits of COVID-19 restrictions, which are clearly failing. These include ferociously debated vaccine passports and masking policies that have done little, if anything, to tame skyrocketing numbers throttling the Northeast. 

Hard-hit travel, leisure and small businesses — especially restaurants — are bearing the brunt of questionable protocols. 

And for the record, it’s not just America. China's aggressive zero-COVID policies that have exacerbated global supply chain problems aren’t doing much to curb the spread there, either.

“Policies, tools and communication must adapt to where we are now two full years into the pandemic. “Vaccines have been invaluable to bring us to this point, but mandating drives away customers, good employees, job candidates, and creates more division inside (and outside) of organizations.”

The preponderance of Omicron-fueled breakout infections, and the attendant shutdowns of (highly vaccinated) New York City venues, Apple Stores and Broadway shows, are undermining illusions of safety. It's also questioning an underlying premise that effectively cleaved society into castes of vaccinated and unvaccinated.

 With this fallure, there is something else not being done. Crowded offices, street, stadium, buses, subway system etc and the quality of life needs to be improved.  Just a "Dense" thought
