Same thing we're doing now. Put all our hope vaccines.

Kids are in school in my democrat neighborhoods and their democrat parents are excited as hell about it.
Democratic, you forgot the IC at the end.

Republicans have no plan to end the pandemic because they want to continue to use it (and the vaccine issue) as a cudgel to hammer Biden with. The only reason they are anti-vaccine is because democrats (and science) are pro-vaccine. That is the basis for everything Republicans these days stand for. They would (and some might argue, are trying to) crash the economy if they could put it around Bidens neck.

You cant have some stuff based in reality and some stuff not based. Too complicated. Gotta just say all science is fake, unless you like it.

Like Motec and Fueltech systems for your car, those are OK. That science based fuel injection system to make your car way more powerful and burn way more fuel in a safe manner for the engine, again, that is ok.

Believing the the fuel your car burns is bad for the earth and has become a problem, nope. They say its not a problem but they wont loop the exhaust into the cab of the car for some reason. Its ok for everything else to breathe, but not them.. Kind of a double standard.

Some things id hate to break to you are

Demographic of people not getting vax is dif than you think

Trump did warp speed

The thing is that people think that what people SAY is what they do. I think that's because so many people can SAY so much, yet so little actually do anything.

Social media just made us think that wearing a dress to a black and white gala without a mask on is ok if your dress has some catchphrase on it like "let them eat cake"

We are all garbage people.

You libs would just love for people to use adjectives properly and spell stuff correctly, wouldn't you?

Sick bastards (see obligatory Jib post defending the twice impeached former president).

I'm not a democrat or a republican. I'm not vaxed but identify as. I voted against Hilldabeast and FOR Trump. I don't fit into your preconceived notions. I'm just a geezer nearing graduation to the hereafter and don't see anything I can do to fix a problem the folks in charge are trying to keep broken.
Blaming either of the political parties is silly. It's the folks in charge of the government, whither elected or not, that are working together to screw stuff up.
Ultimately,
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

“By the mid-19th century Sweden had legalized emigration, he says, “which resulted in most people just wanting to leave Sweden immediately for the U.S.” Back then, Swedish politicians and intellectuals looked to America as a model. Between roughly 1840 and 1870, classical liberals took power. “They basically did everything: save property rights, open business, free trade, beginning to open up for religious freedom, freedom of the press.”

Sweden was one of the world’s fastest-growing economies for nearly a century. But by the 1960s, the country began to take its wealth-creating prowess for granted. I tell Mr. Norberg about New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s assertion: “There’s plenty of money in this world, it’s just in the wrong hands.” In 1960s Sweden, Mr. Norberg replies, “that’s almost verbatim what they said back then: ‘Now we’re this rich. Shouldn’t we just distribute it, and give it to the people and the places we like?’ ” Such thinking overtook the country’s dominant center-left Social Democratic Party.

We thought we could do anything, and we had all of those other preconditions: the work ethic, some sort of social pressure, which meant that people were doing the right things, and they wouldn’t want to live on the dole,” Mr. Norberg says. “And then for 20 years, from 1960 to 1980, we doubled the size of the government spending as a percentage of GDP. That’s the aberration in Swedish history.” The Swedish welfare state first was a safety net for the needy. Over time the political class moved to “socialize the lives of the middle classes as well.” The plan: “Increase their taxes, and their benefits, and then they will buy into this system.

The consequences were predictable. “It resulted in less work, people preferring to stay at home and paint the house rather than hiring someone to do it, general lack of getting the kind of education that matters. It led to entrepreneurs leaving Sweden.” Private-sector employment declined from the 1970s to the ’90s, while disposable-income and economic growth was relatively slow. Some of the country’s best companies and brightest minds fled an onerous inheritance tax”
