All I know is, I have found some nice homes in Grand Cayman if **** hits the fan here. I really think if Biden wins America as we all know it is dead. We'll just be another bankrupt, socialist, statist Country.

Mom actually broached the subject of moving out of the Country if the election goes to the Dems, asking which vehicles I would want to take (not sure I would take them all). I was partial to Luxembourg but I am not sure where she has her eye...

It is, at this point, basically her, me and my brother...

Give me a break. Major stories that are pro-liberal go up and come down quickly. But anti-liberal stories stay up on Fox News for days. For example, this one from 2 days ago is still at the top right now.

To be clear -- I'm not complaining about this. I am perfectly fine with Fox News being biased to the right, just like I'm perfectly fine with CNN being equally biased to the left. I try to read both to give myself an idea of where the boundaries of the Overton Window lie. I occasionally agree with one or the other, but I usually find the truth somewhere in between.

The Seattle story is an ongoing story and still in the news. However, the original argument you stated was that the Fauci story was not front page news on Fox News and it was.

You don't want Luxembourg. I've been there many times. It's dominated by smug, very wealthy, aloof global/EU elite types. Better to go to Eastern Europe. Think Bratislava or Budapest, not Brussels or Paris.

You don't think I can do smug? Or aloof?

But yeah, the global/EU thing could reek of the blue-tick PC-speak...don't want that.

I'd love to spend some time in Budapest. The architecture alone appears to be glorious.

I visited there in December 2018 and was very impressed. It's a beautiful city with friendly people, and I think it's underrated. Prague is the Eastern European city that's cool to like and for good reason. However, I enjoyed Budapest at least as much.

Vesprem Hungary. Provincial capital outside of Budapest, 2 hour drive. University town. We have a plant there.

I was there in March 2019. Did you mean the endless number of Thai massage bars run by Russians?

Heaven help us if Trump loses and these liberal crackpots take charge.

Similar to 2016, the quiet conservative voter is not heard by the polls....not saying I'm confident, but nothing has happened these four years that Trump could control that was negative....Keep the economy going during a pandemic would've killed a bunch more, took a couple of months and the losses were gone......Trump knows how to back the business of America, which is business, which means jobs/stability, so he's got a good chance to repeat...

Somewhat coat-tailing...discussion with mom the other day got to a point where she utters "Trump is an ***" to which I ask whether that meant she could vote for Biden. Even before I finished, she was elevating voice and saying "Hell no!."

There are plenty of people out there who might not like Trump but know the alternative is FAR worse.

Mom is actually looking at skipping an Alaskan cruise unless she can find a reasonably priced flight that avoids Seattle entirely. Unfortunately, this would apparently require getting creative with the scheduling for a departure out of and return to IAH. She won't ever return to Seattle until they get that crap under control...

Liberal media is not equally biased. They don't report non-narrative stories while at least Fox does. Liberal media rarely has conservative guests while Fox has liberal guests daily and permanent liberal fixtures to hear the other side. Liberal media doesn't want to hear or talk about anything except their own gibberish. Then to top it off 90% of the media is liberal.

You know what I was thinking, CV killed most Italians, maybe we can go there, should be lots of free places to get there.
 
We know it doesn’t work in late stages. Needs to be taken early. No one wants the responsibility of encouraging early use of something that has no benefit to the drug industry

Think Bratislava

Whenever I hear Bratislava, I think of this scene from Eurotrip:

Scottie: I wonder what you can get for a dollar and 83 cents American in Bratislava?

[Next scene: Scottie and friends are basking in a lavish hotel.]

Scottie: Gotta love that exchange rate!
 
Have you noticed that places like Brazil, Russia, and China again realize you can’t stop a virus?
