That suggests a case fatality ratio of roughly 0.03%.


But yet in our world of the Democrat party being in charge of everything folks, this is a National Emergency.

More power for them. This is what they thrive on, and they have their regular clapping seals get out there and promote such utter nonsense of Mask wearing, and calling out this as a National Emergency. 

This Monkeypox has been out there since May in the US, and in that time, we have seen 0 reported Deaths, but as Rahm Emmanuel stated, the Democrat Platform position is Never let a crisis go to waste.

And the new Democrat method is that if something is NOT a crisis, LABEL it as one anyway, so that the party can gain more power and more control over the lives of every American. 

And the clapping seals will be happy to participate and promote the nonsense.

That said, "Democrats are using a complicated procedure known as budget reconciliation to try to pass the party’s Inflation Reduction Act, a massive package that would advance key pieces of President Biden’s legislative agenda."
"The procedure, which Republicans used to pass former President Trump’s signature tax law in 2017, will allow Democrats to pass a bill in the 50-50 Senate with a simple majority, bypassing the usual 60-vote threshold."

And now the Republicans have a problem with the procedure? Their measure of liberty is whatever they say it is and the hell with everybody else...

  The truth is that many progressives have no problem with the crisis -- until the crisis starts to impact them, where they live.  That is the whole point of what Abbott and Ducey are doing.  Bowser is requesting national guard intervention, enraging pro-illegal immigration activists.  Homelessness in DC and New York is spiking due to Biden's policies, now that a very small slice of those outcomes are being delivered to those cities.  Border communities have not been overwhelmed "at times" by the "surge in unauthorized border crossings."  They've been consistently slammed, month after month, and a lot of powerful people in politics and media simply haven't cared.

NIMBY. 

I thought these places were all sanctuary cities?  What's the issue?

So is the cost of gas.  Current lumber prices are falling:   https://azbigmedia.com/real-estate/commercial-real-estate/construction/lumber-prices-are-falling-but-when-will-consumers-see-savings/   A lot of this is due to supply and demand issues post covid. That would have likely happened with a GOP president, too.  
It's typical of you to try to deflect from one issue to another and/or conflate the two. More of the same from you...
