‘Wrong Again’: Florida Blasts CDC For Posting False Covid Numbers

If this is the one I remember, it's due to the way Florida reports, it only reports during the week, so there is a sudden jump at start of the week from the weekend figures of course it's going to mess up. Florida's been falsy reporting their deaths for a month now to hide, so before you attack CDC maybe attack Florida for making their numbers false.

O rly? Tell me, what program provides free healthcare and free handouts to illegal immigrants? Medicaid and various welfare programs specifically include immigrants (to include most legal ones during the first couple of years), they do not cover illegal immigrants.

This is yet another of those lies told by Republicans.

It makes sense, they would collect the oil that would normally be imported into the US economy. And export it to foreign nations, instead. Causing the price of gasoline in the country to skyrocket.

America last is simply the way they do business.

Click to expand...

Who is "they?" The Canadians that own the oil? Yes, they collect the oil and determine who they want to sell it to -- they can still sell it to the US, if they want, even without the pipeline. If they want to sell it to "foreign nations" (though the US is a "foreign nation" to "they"), are you stating that the US should confiscate it?

The only difference, regardless of whether they will sell it to "foreign nations" or the the foreign nation of the US, is that the pipeline would have routed the oil through the US, where it undoubtedly would have a major "spill" when the oil corroded the pipeline. Even if it went through the pipeline, "they" (the owners of the oil) would determine who they were selling the oil to, and I'm sure they would sell it to market rates. The US would not get a "cheaper price" just because we are the US. Nor does not getting the oil from Canada cause any shortages in the US. In fact, when we have shortages in the US it is typically because of refinery capacity, such as when Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas Gulf Coast. Though, come to think of it, the most recent shortage, at least in the Southern US, was caused by a pipeline.

I get tired of hearing this red herring. Seriously, go look at the board of Exxon-Mobile and see how many of their board members have an energy background. Let me give you some examples:

Susan K. Avery, " Dr. Avery served as president and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 2008 to 2015. She served as interim dean of the graduate school and vice chancellor for research, interim provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Colorado Boulder from 2004 to 2008."

Angela F. Braly, "Ms. Braly served as chairman of WellPoint from 2010 to 2012; and president and chief executive officer from 2007 to 2012. She served as executive vice president, general counsel and chief public affairs officer of WellPoint from 2005 to 2007, and president and chief executive officer of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri from 2003 to 2005." Just to be clear, WellPoint is an insurance company.

Ursula M. Burns, "Ms. Burns was elected Chairwoman of the Board of Teneo, a global CEO advisory firm in July 2021. She served as Chairman of VEON from July 2017 through May 2020, and served as Chief Executive Officer from December 2018 through February 2020. Ms. Burns served as Chairman of Xerox from 2010 to June 2017. She was elected Chief Executive Officer in 2009 and President in 2007, and relinquished these roles in 2016. She also served as Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategic Services; and Senior Vice President and President, Document Systems and Solutions Group, and Business Group Operations, at Xerox."

Kenneth C. Frazier, "Mr. Frazier served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Merck from 2011 to July 2021, and served as President from 2010 until 2019. He was elected Executive Vice President and President, Global Human Health, at Merck in 2007; and Executive Vice President and General Counsel in 2006. He served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Merck from 1999 to 2006."

Joseph L. Hooley, "Mr. Hooley served as Chairman of State Street Corporation from 2011 to 2019. He served as Chief Executive Officer from 2010 to 2018 and President from 2008 to 2014. He previously served as Chief Operating Officer."

Steven A. Kandarian, "Mr. Kandarian was elected Chairman of the Board of MetLife in January 2012. He became President and CEO in May 2011. He retired from MetLife in April 2019. Previously, Mr. Kandarian had served as Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. Before joining MetLife, he was Executive Director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation."

Alexander A. Karsner, "Mr. Karsner has been Senior Strategist at X (formerly Google X) since 2013. He served as Managing Partner of Emerson Collective from 2016 to 2019. He is Founder and has been Chief Executive Officer of Manifest Energy since 2009, and Executive Chairman since 2013. He has been Executive Chairman of Elemental Labs since 2019. From 2006 to 2008, he served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy."

Jeffrey W. Ubben, "Mr. Ubben co-founded Inclusive Capital Partners and has served as Portfolio Manager and Managing Partner since 2020. Mr. Ubben also co-founded and served as Chief Executive Officer of ValueAct Capital Partners, L.P. from 2000 to 2020, and as Chief Investment Officer from 2000 to 2017. He was a Managing Partner of Blum Capital Partners, L.P. from 1995 to 2000. He also served in various positions including Portfolio Manager and Research Analyst of Fidelity Investments from 1987 to 1995."

In your world, I guess all these board members of Exxon must have "influential fathers" to be able to sit on the board of an oil company with no past experience in the energy field? In fact, Mr. Ubben has a resume that sounds a bit like Hunter Biden's, when he went to work for Burisma (had co-founded a capital investment firm).

I'm not saying there aren't legitimate criticisms of Hunter Biden, just that this isn't one. It instead shows an ignorance of how the corporate world works, that board members frequently don't have experience in that industry.

Again, I'm not stating he should have been offered the post and I'm sure his last name helped. If you would have left it at that, I wouldn't have taken issue. My issue is the "unqualified" because he hadn't worked in the energy field. Hunter did appear to be qualified for what they wanted him to do -- which were, as he was a lawyer, to be the board member in charge of their legal department and also, from his capital investment contacts, to persuade investors he had relationships with to invest in Burisma.

Hunter Biden doesn't even say that.

What Hunter Biden did on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma

KIEV (Reuters) - During his time on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Hunter Biden, the son of former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, was regarded as a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name, according to people familiar with Biden’s role at the company.

Burisma called him a “CEREMONIAL FIGURE”

Exactly, I work in medical technology and our board includes people from IT, medicine, a Fortune 1000 COO. Our focus is medical, but we are publicly traded and we've been buying related companies over the last 4 years.

the problem here is not Biden or Trump.... er worse and worser. the problem is the 2 party American system which forces more polarised politics. if you don't like the last guy you are stuck with the other guy. what kind of messed up system is that?

Well first prove it's even real, those could be photo's from 30 years ago, or such with no more context, or both from gas stations right now. Or the higher price was from during the gulf war or such, without anyway to verify what station, or when it was done, it's meaningless pictures. We see this all the time when you look up original picture it turns out to be doctored or such.

Gas prices have been creping up for months now; as should be expected given covid restrictions easing up and such. Higher demand == higher prices.

The image shows gas prices of more than $5.50. According to AAA no state in the US has average gas prices higher than ~$4.40 for regular, and that's in California. Followed by Hawaii at $4.07.

So yeah, I don't buy that image being from the past 9 months unless it was taken during some weird event like when people started hoarding gas a couple months ago.
