US has now limited covid vaccines to specific cohorts (over 60, immunocompromised etc).
So if you're not in one of them and you want to get vaccinated, too bad, you can't.
I swear, everything that comes out of the Trump administration is the opposite of logical.
Interesting talk from an historian on the radio the other day, about the why civilisations fall.
He reckons it's inequality. When a country / city state / whatever has true equality, it's stronger. Everyone has a stake in the status quo.
However when you get growing inequality and only those with wealth and power are invested in the status quo, things go bad.
The Maga movement is a far right cult. It's the modern equivalent of the Brownshirts in 1930s Germany.
The rest of the USA needs to wake up and fight this movement before it's too late. Their democracy is already fractured by this evil man and his followers. It will shatter completely if they don't stand up to it
Let's not forget that these idiots elected him. Twice.

At least that's not as bad as what a mate's teetotaler parents did.
When clearing out a dead relative's house they found a bottle of red wine in a cupboard. As they didn't drink, they used it in a big Bolognese sauce.
Label was "Grange Hermitage".
What about the $170b "Golden Dome" missile defence system Trumpy has just announced? Wonder whose rockets will be used for those satellites?
It'll turn out to be a shower of shit. "Golden Shower" for short.
They were rooted either way.
The Nats are the weird uncle who refuses to do anything about the climate disaster.
So the libs couldn't do anything remotely realistic about it.
Which is why they lost a shedload of seats to teals and didn't get them back.
Their only hope is to drag themselves into the 21st century and run on a truly centrist platform without the culture wars bullshit and the pro-coal idiocy. And for chrissakes forget nuclear, apart from a few die hard enthusiasts no one wants to hear about it.
