That's a sign of poor leadership...Taiwan has its divisions and issues as well.  Taiwanese politics literally has physical fighting and there is plenty of skepticism toward the government as well.  But you know what happened, the government took bold action and stood by their scientists and...

We can handle a two-front war involving two of the largest military threats known to humans and we cannot get people to wear masks and social distance. Why do we refuse as a country to look at our issues and faults and figure out the problems...there were clear solutions to problems but the...

Hmm...unless you think the issues are coming over from Canada and Mexico...US is basically an island.  It's why the US remained relatively intact after two world wars.  What about about Africa, Australia, and New Zealand?  South Korea...Japan? ...

But hey...tell me how much you need to eat Aunt Sally's turkey: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tired-bone-hospitals-overwhelmed-virus-204727407.html

For sure...but it's probably a matter of them being insulated from reality literally and figuratively.  Does not excuse them from being hypocrites and nothing to do with whether the guidelines are proper or not. I don't adhere to the guidelines because Gavin Newsome tells me to...just like I...

You understand that Taiwan learned lessons from 2003 SARS and implemented those contingency plans in a time of crisis...like I don't know a global pandemic?  It's not like Taiwanese carry around government issued phones or mandated apps in non-pandemic times.  That's why it's called an...

Talk about your media narratives...just like the freakout over Seattle's "Freedom Zone"...Portland was just fine. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/07/feds-right-wing-media-paint-portland-as-city-under-siege-a-tour-of-town-shows-otherwise.html We have relatives up in Portland and no one...

Taiwan exercise what control?  Like government?  Taiwan is the first Asian country to legalize gay marriage and has robust and thriving democracy and economy.  Makes me wonder when you were there last. Edit:  Taiwan has one of the highest freedom index according to Cato, Freedom House...

Where exactly is the ANTIFA headquarter or principal place of business?  So...we are back to the "if Johnny can do it...why can't I" argument?  And by your tone...you should totally approve of ANTIFA and riots..cuz you know...people are inherently selfish and self-centered so they should be...

LOL...I would love to live in Taiwan...other than the weather.  Excellent health care, great food, nice people....maybe you missed the part about me being born there.  Taiwan has its issue but on COVID...it's the gold standard. BTW...you know we can adopt good practices regardless of where they...

Or be like Taiwan and do the right thing for like 6 months and get back to normal.

Apparently, you allow your children to act however they like whenever they like..cause you know...reality. Again...society has norms, laws, and obligations....thus things are what hold society together.  You may not like them but that's what you signed up for by living in a society. 

Tell Trump and his supporters that...also the GOP. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/526687-michigan-republican-who-balked-at-certifying-election-results-says

I take news from most reputable sources...Fox and MSNBC are probably the edge of the cut-off line for me....I just avoid the talk show portions of each network. Foreign sources are great because they give you an outsider's look at American and American politics.  BBC, Al Jeezra, NHK, SCMP, and...

That may be true but as a member of a society, there are social norms and considerations to be had.  Children are self-centered and selfish...that doesn't mean that we allow them to act that way.

Because people should care about others and not go with "well if Johnny does it...why can't I" theory of society. It's weird that we expect these things from our children but apparently not from grown adults.

Meanwhile...apparently Trump thinks that immunity to COVID is like a group force shield. https://twitter.com/AmyEGardner/status/1329468989983125505?s=20

But who cares?  Total hoax! https://www.yahoo.com/gma/over-900-mayo-clinic-staff-031548190.html Our medical/health care system is being stretched to the point of breaking and people are still like "what about my Thanksgiving?"

I guess it depends on how much you want to take out and whether you think the home is worth the investment.  I generally see it as a last resort. I don't even have an IRA because I don't qualify for the deduction and there is no contribution from my employer. 

I am all for calling out hypocritical Dems for not adhering to guidelines...are the GOP supporters...I guess it would depend on if you think it's a hoax or not. Meanwhile:
