@mangeurdenuage Well, most of the states have certified their results and most of the lawsuits are over. So, barring either a Supreme Court decision or faithless electors at the electoral college, we know #Biden will be the next President, taking over in January.

I'm still trying to avoid nearly all #politics / #USPol / #Election_2020 news and discussion, but it is time for #Trump and his supporters to face reality and accept defeat. A better focus is the upcoming runoff elections for two #GA Senate seats.

The pinkish color of most of the as yet unprojected states indicates that they believe those states are leaning red, voting to support #Trump. Interestingly, the undecided district in #NE is a very light blue, leaning to support #Biden, while the undecided district in #ME is pinkish.

#AK is still pure white, as little polling or exit polling occurs there.

I remembered that #Biden ran long ago, so I searched and found this: a few months in 1987-1988, and again in 2008, before becoming the VP. His Senate career started with the 1972 election.

I’m not going to search to find when #Trump started in business, at least not tonight.

I did not read #T-rump's announcement about payroll taxes and withholding, so this is not directly a response to that. It is more of a response to someone who was talking about taxation in reaction to the President's proposal.

"Trump is going to eliminate payroll taxes"

I doubt that. There are years of statutes and constitutional law behind income taxes, and he is not going to be successful at dissolving those things. What he's likely to be doing is eliminating tax withholding from people's wages. While people will like that _now_, they will hate it come April, when they have to suddenly come up with 20% or more of their annual gross earnings in order to pay the IRS before the deadline. I assure you, the Internal Revenue Service is exactly the agency that you do not want to have getting angry at you. Remember, Al Capone was finally locked up for tax evasion, not any of his other activities.

I see a lot of trash-talking about the US response to the #COVID-19 pandemic. The truth is, our national response could have been quite a bit better—starting by being honest about masks (“Wearing masks is proven to provide some benefit during respiratory virus outbreaks, but they are not a perfect or complete solution. We also don’t even have enough N95 or surgical masks for the medical community, so non-medical people should make your own masks for now.”)—and by reacting more quickly to give emergency production orders for medicines, PPE, ventilator machines, etc. Foremost among federal failures is President #Trump’s refusal to wear a mask until very recently, and his encouragement of rebellion against health-related restrictions. We now have people saying mask-wearing is “stupid” and ineffective, and that it causes psychological problems, and I would guess that the overwhelming majority of those people are his supporters.

But having read the national emergency plan and portions of the Stafford Disaster Relief Act, I know that the primary responsibility is with the states. I even question whether the federal government is allowed to do some of the things that needed (and still need) doing. This is a large country, with around 330 million people in it. Most of the most effective measures need to be applied at the point of most need, not pushed down from the top.

Not that you want 50 states, the District of Columbia, and some territories competing for supplies in an emergency. But the states should have taken the lead early on with behavioral and business restrictions (the lockdowns, are but one example of how they might have handled it), instead of waiting until they had out-of-control outbreaks and then panicking.

And, yes, I agree with @guizzy ... the USA 🇺🇸 has a huge number of deaths from #2019-nCoV ( the old name for the disease caused by the #coronavirus #SARS-CoV-2 ). But when you weight that by population (as one should), the US is not the worst-affected country. We’re not the best, either. That honor goes to the People’s Republic of China 🇨🇳, with the world’s largest population and a few thousand reported deaths. (And their numbers are increasingly believed to have been manipulated; with reports that the outbreak 😷 started in November, and only in late December / early January did they take action ... and that they’ve had continuing smaller outbreaks since the time it was controlled in Hubei Province.)

“If I were in a tight situation with people I would, absolutely.”

A fellow Republican had recently lamented the way mask-wearing has been politicized.

300K tests / day is still less than 1/1000 of the US population. Considering that people will need multiple tests over a period of time, this is still only a fraction of needed tests.

Until an effective treatment is developed (or a vaccine), widespread testing, contact tracing, isolation are the way to go.

I understand that much of the delay is because key suppliers in the Far East were affected by control measures and by a worldwide surge in demand. That just means there needs to be a very high priority on building / rebuilding local (as in within North America) production. And of course, waiting weeks before submitting orders for PPE, ventilators, and other medical supplies ... which allowed other nations to get ahead of us in the queue for shipments.

(Funny how many people I saw laughing at #T-rump [President Trump] because he talked about bringing production back from overseas. Now we see that it is necessary, no matter where we stand on the suitability of the occupant of the White House. Expect President Biden to announce new initiatives to relieve dependence on foreign suppliers for critical items.)

US President #Trump suspends support payments to #WHO pending investigation.

I strongly disagree with this. Wait until the world gets a handle on the #COVID-19 outbreak. Besides, even though no one may have known just how big this would become (not even WHO), it was predictable fairly early on that cases could come here and start spreading locally. No one is saying to suspend funding the US government because there weren't enough test kits available and deployed to localities where outbreaks were most likely.
