BS Receptivity
This is amusing. I suspect that purchasers of “essential oils” are more likely to be receptive to phrases like “Hope and change.”

Goodbye, Green New Deal.
Set aside, for the moment, any reservations you might have about the coronavirus-emergency regime, and set aside your views on climate change, too, whatever they may be. Instead, ask yourself this: If Americans are this resistant to paying a large economic price to enable measures meant to prevent a public-health catastrophe in the here and now — one that threatens the lives of people they know and love — then how much less likely are they to bear not weeks or months but decades of disruption and economic dislocation and a permanently diminished standard of living in order to prevent possibly severe consequences to people in Bangladesh or Indonesia 80 or 100 years from now?
Not a prayer.

Why are the media ignoring Reade’s claims?
I’m pretty sure I know why.
The Media
The American people think it’s been doing a terrible job of covering the coronavirus. The American people are right.
Aussie Accent(s)
My sense is that to the degree that they have different accents, it’s class based, not regional. That is, most of the people I meet are probably upper middle, whereas someone Rugby Union might speak strine so thick that it would be almost unintelligible to me.
Federalism
After too many decades, almost a century, the people have pulled aside the curtain, and the man behind it has been exposed.
A Cuomo Nomination?
I agree; it’s looking more likely by the day.
