Another (pre-verdict) take on the Rittenhouse trial:

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/11/kyle-rittenhouse-right-self-defense-role-model/620715/

"As the Kyle Rittenhouse trial comes to a close, two things are becoming clear at once. First, absolutely no one should be surprised if Rittenhouse is acquitted on the most serious charges against him. And second, regardless of the outcome of the trial, the Trumpist right is wrongly creating a folk hero out of Rittenhouse. For millions he’s become a positive symbol, a young man of action who stepped up when the police (allegedly) stepped aside.

The trial itself has not gone well for the prosecution, for reasons that relate to the nature of self-defense claims......"

More Covid magnetism hilarity.

The term “scraping the bottom of the barrel” doesn’t quite do justice to the new crop of MAGA talk show hosts that think Alex Jones is too tame. One of them is Stew Peters. He went from being a failed rapper, to a failed bounty hunter, to now a full-time COVID conspiracy theorist. And yes, being full-blown MAGA, there’s the obligatory police report documenting domestic violence as well. Perhaps Trump will push him to run for Senate? ....

Quebec about to lose 17,000 healthcare workers.

Quebec has a requirement for all gov't employees to be vaccinated so, to-date, approx 17,000 healthcare workers (and most of them front-line) are about to be fired.

This will have a helluva impact on the healthcare system in that province but the provincial gov't still thinks the requirement is important enough to be applied.

Vet Vaccination Policy (Covid)

Just called my vet to see what their Covid vaccination policy is. Was told all their veterinarians have all been doubly vaccinated but some of the staff are "still waiting".

I, like I suspect many on this forum, have very strong feelings about those who choose not to get vaccinated - the harm and suffering they are causing is immense. My dilemma now is to keep taking my pet to this vet office, as I have for many years, or find some other alternative.

I would be obliged to hear what others on this forum think about it...
