Right? It shocks me to this day. They were at least 6 mos behind the MS schools.

I went to grade school in Mississippi, (Air Force brat, 1970’s) and here are some fun facts:

• The day started with the class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and then singing “Dixie.”
• Every classroom had a paddle hanging near the blackboard. The principle and many of the teachers also had a paddle handing off of their belt.
• The "That’s a Paddlin’ " bit on the Simpsons was a 100% accurate representation of my first day in school
• The Mississippi schools were about 6 months ahead of the Utah schools I came from and they made me do a lot of the homework assigned before I got there.

Interesting. Today Reddit sent a new TOS letter to an old email address (I don’t have any Reddit accounts because fuck u/spez). The username it referenced was created today. I’ve never used this address with Reddit and don’t have any confirmation emails in my box or spam indicating someone else tried to create this account. I changed the password and deleted the account, but I have to wonder if they might be trying to boost their subscriber numbers for an IPO.

Iran’s goal is to damage or sink an American warship without being directly culpable and without risking their own people.

Hundreds of thousands will still vote for him.

Questions it? The answer to that question has been thoroughly documented.

“Redress” is typically used when referring to correcting or remedying a wrong or injustice. It implies a sense of compensation or restitution for something that has gone awry. For example, if a customer receives a faulty product from a company, they may seek redress by asking for a refund or replacement.

“Address,” on the other hand, is a more general term that refers to dealing with or attending to a particular matter. It can be used in a variety of contexts, from addressing a letter to addressing a problem. It doesn’t necessarily imply any wrongdoing or injustice.

He was talking about covid in the context of engineered bioweapons. That the virus has been more severe with people of color can, and has been explained by racial inequity and access to care.

“The overrepresentation of African Americans among confirmed COVID-19 cases and number of deaths underscores the fact that the coronavirus pandemic, far from being an equalizer, is amplifying or even worsening existing social inequalities tied to race, class, and access to the health care system.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7762908/#:~:text=Approximately 97.9 out of every,Asians (40.4 per 100%2C000).

Sickle cell does not “target” blacks, it is genetically inherited trait. It affects blacks more often as it is thought to have evolved in sub-Saharan Africans as protection from malaria. https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/biology/index.html. So your statement isn’t really a conspiracy, it’s just uninformed.

RFK Jr is on video talking about bioweapons and in that context said that “There’s an argument that it is ethnically targeted…” https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews. People of color are affected by most diseases more that white people. This is not a new phenomenon and is related to racial disparities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8513546/. Also, the Chinese were hit as hard as everyone else.

RFK Jr has a history of promoting conspiracy theories. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2023/06/06/rfk-jr-makes-unfounded-claims-about-mass-shootings-covid-19-here-are-all-the-conspiracies-he-promotes/?sh=20e82d7e3acc

I’m not making up any reasons to dislike RFK Jr. I dislike him based on his own words and actions.

“is targeted to…” implies deliberate action, which is exactly the message he wanted to convey. It’s just SSDD for this nutjob.

Yup. They refused to pay me for my comments and posts so I overwrote and deleted them all before deleting my account.

…and my axe!
