Not sure you know many actual Americans, Luee. Doesn’t seem to me like you do.

As for mandates,

Republicans need to grow up.

Did he check with moderate dems and republicans before he closed down the pipeline and opened the doors to mass migration? Sounds more like Trump than Trump. Just catering to his most ardent fringe supporters with executive orders.

I like to keep up with how the dingos are progressing in keeping the baby population in check.   More updates and analysis on that would help.   

This article addresses the dingo program,  though very indirectly and using veiled language so as not to upset sensitive readers.

Pipeline isn't built.   He didn't close anything.   Also,  there's an oil glut,  so tar sands crud is the last thing we need.   Even moderate conservatives question the need for Canadian oil.   And conservative farmers question toxic liquid bitumen flowing through their number one aquifer.   FFS,  get all the facts and stop politicizing everything.

I post about China/Shanghai some.

Speaking of, there were 6 confirmed cases of COVID in Shanghai on I think Wednesday.  So things have gone into safety mode here.  Masks required to enter all stores.  Temp checks at some buildings.  Where I play hoops was requiring temp check and leaving your name and phone # for contact tracing.  But they weren't enforcing it strictly and waved me through without putting down my contact info.  Mask usage in public looks back up to maybe 60% or more. 

You may have missed the isolation camp for 4,000 COVID-19 cases.

Interesting to note that the US is the second biggest exporter of metallurgical coal.

Apparently, when on Mars, a man with a high-pitched voice then has a deep, sexy, voice...things are reversed.

Not worth all the cost of space ships to find that out, though.

It is.   I had a summer job at a foundry that made manhole covers and street gratings,  and occasionally assisted with loading metallurgical coal into the furnace.   I also used a forklift to carry freshly poured castings to a shaker table which removed the mold material.  I can therefore speak with some credibility when I say that the switch to gas-injection furnaces is progress.   Coal is not necessary for iron work.   

We all took salt tablets on am coffee break.   If you didn't hydrate,  you could easily lose five pounds in water weight on one shift.

I shared a bit of this information in the fall, but thought I would repost this version of it, since some here continue to be in denial:

Largest COVID-19 contact tracing study to date finds children key to spread, evidence of superspreaders

A study of more than a half-million people in India who were exposed to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 suggests that the virus’ continued spread is driven by only a small percentage of those who become infected.

Furthermore, children and young adults were found to be potentially much more important to transmitting the virus — especially within households — than previous studies have identified, according to a paper by researchers from the United States and India published Sept. 30 in the journal Science.

Australia also exports gas, 70% of the available gas for export going to China. 12 million tonnes to China in Jan to Oct 2020.
13.2 million tonnes to China in the corresponding 2019 period.

America had a terrible week under Ole Joe

Tens of thousands of jobs lost in the oil industry
While promising to flood the recovering job market with illegal aliens
A disgusting decision to rejoin the Paris Accord( a reminder of the Obama strategy of leading from behind)
Executive action to destroy female sports
And a new goal for the COVID-19 vaccine that only matches what we are already doing.

That’s called following through on a huge mandate.

Here’s another vital project being teed up for a major nation saving change,

Also, the America you love is being confined to central Florida via an inverse Trail of Tears to create an unnatural preserve called Crackerstan where you can continue to slink backwards on your belly toward the seventh century.

That actually makes it a great week, contrary to your feeble assertion.

Redward's post is essentially replying on one topic by jumping to five other topics.

The petro job losses are due to covid causing global market shrinkage.  They weren't just this week.   

(the other statements are just lies,  not worth reply)
