Oxford University planned to release its COVID-19 vaccine for free but was urged to reconsider by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Instead, they engineered an exclusive deal with AstraZeneca, with no price controls.
Hope your divorce sucks, assholes!

Billionaires are a net drain on society unless they literally give all of their money to build homeless shelters and feed the poor.

The whining is ridiculous. we all know that caste-discrimination exists that it traveled across the Atlantic with the diaspora, they just pretend it doesn't.

The NVA was a professional army that had just beaten the French army on the field. Some leftist with a baseball bat isn't comparable.

If Jesus christ himself was the dem he’d have like 50% chance of winning in these super-red states. These are literally NRCC talking points Chuck!

Dude, defending dictatorships isn't progressives, normal hong kong residents are taking in the streets to fight against totalitarianism. They deserve our support.

I think it's got an anti-intellectual edge that is very attractive because we hate technocratic neolibs (the nerds in this allegory) that want to starve the children and kill granny in order to balance the books. But on the other hand HS bullying was and always will be wrong.

I like Lee, Adam was accusing everyone that didn't reflexively condemn Tulsi of being Russian agents or assets or whatever that's just what mccarthyism is.
Really fast shift when people go from "you'll never muzzle by forcing me to wear a mask to prevent COVID infection" to "just follow police commands and you won't get shot down in the street."

Getting really annoying how often non-Ashkenazi jews are ignored in this discourse. Mizrahi jews aren't going back to the arab countries that they were expelled from.
I know it’s cool to shit on Obama FP, definitely a lot of issues with drone strikes and foreign interventions, but the Iran deal was one of the best foreign policy decisions in recent US history.
what's happening: Iowa's Party has allocated SDEs to satellites (relatively) straightforwardly: proportionally based on raw turnout
DNC is interpreting the rules in a way that'd somewhat (not entirely) flatten that distribution, making it less directly linked to raw turnout.

because they don't want vulnerable populations to be exposed, one South Korean went to church and caused 60% of the cases in South Korea.

I don't like going around accusing everyone who disagrees with me an asset of a foreign government for the dumbest reason. But that's just me.

Occam's razor: so much WW2-related related to Germany in the media is about the holocaust if we mention Japan at all it's mostly in the context of the nukes or pearl harbor and that shapes impressions more than the education system.
