"480 Minutes" - Boeing
This week in the USA a white supremacist group called Patriot Front (aka Khaki Nazis) marched in Philadelphia and were chased out of town by the locals. Those masked (to hide their identities, not prevent the spread of COVID-19) khaki-clad dudes clearly "did their own research" about their chosen venue.
Also this week the long-time CFO of #Individual1's company was removed as a director of his golf course in Scotland. Last week the company was indicted on 15 counts of grand larceny, tax fraud, and conspiracy by the Manhattan district attorney.
Meanwhile Congressional Republicans continue to line up behind #Individual1 in support of his lies about the election he lost. This could be great for the DNC if they properly and consistently frame what the GOP is up to: there was an attempted coup (coercive calls to election officials including threats), coordination, funding, and incitement of a violent attempt to prevent Congress from certifying election results, literally hundreds of Republican-created election-rigging bills are making their way through State Houses, and COVID-19 cases are on the rise again, particularly in the states with low vaccination rates (red states, all). I'm sure that last tidbit is just a coincidence, though, and not Darwin's theory doing it's thing.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but wouldn't it be nice, wouldn't it be the human thing to do, for Injecting Disinfectant Guy (who quietly got vaccinated after having his life saved by science) to encourage his followers to get vaccinated?
