Rest in Peace RBG ☹️ I wonder about the political calculus here. If Trump and Co ram through a new Justice (I expect them to) doesn't Trump lose a bit of motivation for his voters? The judges thing is pretty much a done deal. They have until January. I don't think anything will stop them, certainly not a sense of honor or decorum.

By my math approx. 3.2% who test positive die.

Pretty good article. I would argue that these people who felt ostracized during the Obama administration didn't take into account the damage they have done to themselves supporting a man who is happy to champion them in exchange for their votes but probably holds them in contempt like everyone else he successfully cons. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/09/us/evangelicals-trump-christianity.html

I don't buy this. It ignores the huge number of people who have suffered financial hits over four months now and who's jobs are not likely to come back anytime soon. Even after a vaccine is available (which will take a long time to get distributed) a large number of people are going to be reticent to go out to eat, go to concerts, sporting events, etc. Maybe if it had "just gone away" in May things would have quickly bounced back. The faucet is getting turned off on the 3 trillion in free money that's been floating the economy and if, as I suspect, the Ds take over in January the Rs are going to be fighting tooth and nail for austerity because of the "disastrous national debt".

You would hope so but there's a real good chance we're looking at a repeat of April coming up. I don't think 500k but coming close to 240k or even surpassing that this year wouldn't surprise me.

Look around you. Unfortunately the rest of us get to suffer along with them. Add: For the hardest core of his supporters seeing him lose in November (God willing) will be a shock to their system.

That is awesome but I would like to see (maybe it's already happening) distribution of these supplies to impoverished areas by the government.

Masks should be given out for free to whoever needs one. Hand sanitizer should be given out free. It's stupid how basic things have been neglected in favor of pretending the virus will go away because we want it to.

Death is a lagging indicator, I am not confident it won't bounce back up.

Roosevelt statue at museum of natural history has a Native American and am African leading the horse Teddy is riding on either side. It's the subservience depicted rather than TR in specific that caused offense I believe, and I can see why.

Props for the new thread title 😁

The protests are simultaneously the cause of the spike in cases and the reason Trump can start having rallies again.

Big difference between people sitting in a circle and looters. Something has to be done. Privilege is being able to sit back and observe from afar, which in all honesty is what I am doing.

There is a really cool trail that goes down below the dam at Rocky Gap. When at Greenbrier you can hike the AT to Black Rock to the north or Washington Monument to the south. As others mentioned Dolly Sods, Otter Creek etc in WV are fantastic. Big Schloss in GWNF on the Big Blue trail on the WV VA state line is great. Rip Rap trail in Shenandoah NP has some nice swimming holes, also White Oak canyon. If you like beach camping Cape Lookout is incredible.
