Your state has an abysmal Maternal mortality (46th) and child mortality rate (48th).
Alabama Baptist of Shelby County is closing its maternity and neonatal unit though they say the will continue to deliver. That leaves the states’ 6th most populous county of about 230,000k and a land area of about 745 sq mi with no prenatal care for women.
Hire obvious freaks and shit like this is gonna happen.

Oh. And send this freak to prison. One that incarcerates men.
They’re freaks
yawwwn… who babble “cunt” and “twat” at every turn…
who whine about being fucked in the ass by a redneck with a pregnant baby momma because they abandoned their one rule about tenants for their rip-off slum property?
who whack off to a fantasy about receiving a low figure once a month SS check when at the same time their tribal members like Limbaugh and Orrin Hatch die by the boatload?
Who wants to turn its “grandkids” (probably by marriage only) into “kick the living shit” thugs for its favorite fascist politicians..
heh.. And that’s only scratching the surface..
@4 “Your state has an abysmal Maternal mortality (46th) and child mortality rate (48th).”
You can bet your sweet bippy this mortality is concentrated among Alabama’s black population. In other words, GOP policies to hold down black population (and black voter) growth are working there.
@5 There are lessons for both parties here, e.g., don’t appoint freaks to the Supreme Court.

Shelby County is roughly 5-20 miles outside of Birmingham, AL. There are a slew of birthing practices in Birmingham, including Birth Suites – St. Vincent’s Birmingham. There’s also a midwifery open 24 hours.
You didn’t provide a link, so I’ll do it for you. While the article whines that 28 percent of Alabama women live more than 30 miles from a hospital with a birthing unit, it doesn’t make that claim for Shelby County. Because there are multiple birth centers well within 30 miles. IOW there’s plenty of surplus capacity reasonably close, and Tenet has no obligation to provide it within 5 miles of every preggo in the state.
You have no point.

OK, I get that it’s a tool for “professionals in forestry, firefighting, and land management” who conduct controlled burns. Dynamite is a tool, too, used by construction outfits, road builders, and miners.
But you don’t want flamethrowers or explosives in the hands of, say, aggrieved citizens with bones to pick with, say, Congress. Like dynamite, this item should require a license and be strictly regulated. Making it available to the general public is ridiculous on its face.

Despite full vax status each time, I’ve been infected twice. The most recent was last week. Tested negative, then when my wife became symptomatic a few days later I re-tested, and was positive.
For two days I felt weak and tired. Like any common cold.
I fly roughly once a month nowadays. Little chance of avoiding exposure.
Congrats to you and to your spouse for avoiding symptomatic infection. I have to wonder if you truly avoided any infection.

Obviously current long-COVID risk is statistically low to begin with, depending on individual circumstances.
Vaccination and boosting offers considerable benefits in further reducing the already low risk.

31,
It doesn’t look like Dems will lift a finger to save Brave Kevin.
I can’t see why they should. He fundamentally lacks the power, authority, or the persuasion to prevent more of these Republican meltdowns in the future. So there would be no reason to broker a budget compromise among Democrats designed to preserve Brave Kevin as Speaker. They would only find themselves right back where they are today following an extension.
And Kevin has only himself to blame for that. He has made zero efforts to communicate with, much less bargain with, more conservative Democrats, despite outreach. He has stuck with pure partisanship. And so it is only fitting that his demise will rest on pure partisanship.

Shelby county is 735 sq miles.
You have no sense of geography and space or how roads don’t go in straight lines.
Columbiana, the county seat of Shelby County is a 45 minute drive to Birmingham. Depending on what part of town you and Birmingham clinic are located an expectant mother now has to block out 3-3.5 hours to get from the county seat to regular PRE NATAL ultrasound appointments. Literally no one was talking about birthing. This is routine OB/GYN care. You can just ‘thoughts and prayers’ your way to a smooth pregnancy that only requires the two visits before delivery, right?

Slamming headfirst into how Democratic states that provide services in exchange for taxation are far superior for citizens than third world states where 50 years of slashing services and taxes has led to:
High maternal mortality
High infant mortality

High per capita homicide rates
Reliance on Federal taxes welfare states
Alabama is a shithole state on all those fronts.
Also quality work on taking umbrage over the obvious hyperbolic response and taking it at face value. Do you need to up your Aricept dosage?

38,
That story is weird. And I have a sneaking suspicion that there is something going on underneath it all that is largely unrelated to race. Although I would agree that, even given precisely the same interests and equities that may be involved, had the band director been white he still would have left in handcuffs, but he would not have been tased first.
It’s Alabama. And they take football, football rivalries, and band rivalries too seriously. The “Fifth Quarter” performance was apparently agreed upon in advance. But some are suggesting that the Minor HS band was prolonging their post game performance in order to “taunt” the losing home team.
Some of the B’ham cops may have been responding to that in an way we often associate with emotionally fragile adult police officers. And that may make it more of a challenge for the B’ham police department to exonerate themselves.
But I’m pretty confident they can do it.

Our personal finances have nothing to do with it; our grocery spending went way up, because we were generously tipping Whole Foods drivers on a near-daily basis, and still are to some extent. That worked fine for us; we could afford that, and neither of us ever got sick. We were freed from colds and flu for three years, too.
Hope you’re watching, California.
Yes, as a driver of the U.S. economy we are fully prepared to make the rest of the country adopt our standards much in the way Texas tries to shove textbook standards on the rest of us.
Worth noting that as a go it alone struggling economy that produces very few automobiles this target move is going to get run over by the EU goals where most of the vehicles sold in GB are made.

My first ever EV was a Ford lease. At the time I had a fairly long commute. Accounting for fuel and maintenance the lease cost me nothing. And gas was cheaper then.
I know Ford was losing money on that. But I’m told they were doing it for the data and that helped lead to some of the products they have today.
Hey, maybe Ford is wrong to make these additional investments into their global supply chain, manufacturing, tooling, engineering, training, and global infrastructure.
Maybe Chip Roy will discover oil on the dark side of the moon next to the SEEKRIT JOO SPACE LASER.

Nobody got shot. There’s that.

Ford is
losinginvesting $60,000 for each EV it manufactures.In the same way that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is making his second investment into 3M.
He lost $50/share on the first investment. He’s lost roughly $20/share on his second investment.
But these are not losses, you see. They are investments.
Losing investments.
So let’s correctly state that Ford is making a losing $60,000 investment into each EV it manufactures.
Meanwhile, I crossed 220k miles in the used 2008 Prius I bought in 2010, and over the weekend in two round-trips to Anacortes it got 49.8 MPG. MPG for this vehicle is rated 48 city and 45 highway by the EPA.
Hybrids by Toyota are smart. EVs by Ford are less so.

Almost $3B to date of your money to prop up a manufacturer with defective product.
The government loaned Tesla $465M to induce it to take over a shuttered California GM manufacturing plant.
The bulk of the remainder of the money was so that Tesla would build a battery manufacturing plant in Nevada rather than offshore.
Someone remind me, please, how much assistance the government provided to GM and to Chrysler in the couple of years prior to 2010, and whether that assistance was repaid, or whether the taxpayers footed the bill.
Ma, we ain’t fixin the trailer roof. Just buy another bucket.
@53
long term subsidies (giveaways) to corporations are not the same as temporary low interest US backed loans.
But thanks for pointing out ANOTHER thing that kept Elon Afloat that wasn’t offered to say, Bed Bath and Beyond or Kmart. The prior two had a much wider impact on employment and relax revenue nationwide.

@36 “the six years you spend getting your BA in Gender Studies”
There you go stereotyping and mischaracterizing college education again. Most people go to college so they can get decent jobs. A degree is requisite for professional employment, and there’s nothing wrong with having the ambition to be more than a factory assembly line worker. There’s nothing wrong with liberal arts studies, either, which make people more civilized than you are.
I keep wondering how someone who turned medical education into a trade school slipped through the cracks. Didn’t you have to go to college to get into med school? Did you learn nothing but mechanical skills, like how to restart a stopped heart and sew incisions shut? Higher education is supposed to teach people how to think, but you sure as hell don’t do any thinking, and it’s very questionable whether you know how.

@41 Tesla had a multi-year headstart on EVs. The legacy automakers can be justly accused of dragging their feet on vehicle technology; most of their innovation went into adding bells and whistles to their dinosaur vehicles.
Losing money on new technologies is OK when Silicon Valley does it, amirite? So why isn’t it OK for Ford to lose money during the early transition phase to producing mass-market EVs? (Are you forgetting the first Teslas were toys for the rich?)
This year Ford will earn ~$6.8 billion of net profit after factoring in its EV deficit on total sales of roughly $175 billion, while Tesla will earn about $11.7 billion on sales of $100 billion. Ford serves the market with many different models for different needs; Tesla offers only a couple. A car buyer of average means can buy any Tesla he wants as long as it’s a Model Y. Want a sports car, pickup, or delivery van? Call a Ford, GM, Toyota, or Honda dealer.
Tesla had the EV market to itself for years. That’s changing, and as it does, Tesla is having to cut prices to stay competitive, and inevitably will have to adjust to less market share and smaller margins. And those margins will get even smaller if Musk someday loses his non-union wage advantage. As someone who day trades TSLA options but apparently doesn’t own the stock for the long term, it appears you understand this.
@48 “Maybe Chip Roy will discover oil on the dark side of the moon next to the SEEKRIT JOO SPACE LASER.”
He doesn’t need to. Back in the ’70s, Ralph Nader famously said “the world is awash in oil.” He didn’t know how right he was. About 15 years ago, maybe longer, I read in National Geographic that a scientist predicted our planet “will run out of atmosphere before it runs out of oil.” Even he couldn’t imagine how much new oil poroduction would come on line in the years since then (this was before fracking). The world’s problem is too much oil, not too little. People are finding oil nearly everywhere. You almost get the impression the continents are floating on it.
The seventy million Republican voters who painted their faces and donned red trucker hats, chose for their President a guy who went on national television to confess a long history of rape, and later built pipe-bombs in their basements, are now keenly interested in advising you about how carefully and soberly you must consider who you vote for.

I could pay cash for one right now, but why would I want to? I didn’t become a millionaire by being a big spender. The capital cost of my cars is less than $1,000 a year per vehicle.

“All that right-wing violence intended to overthrow our democracy must have been a real turn-on for treasonous fucks like Rudy and our dumbfuck.”
Power is the turn-on for these freaks.
They knew in that moment for an absolute certainty, because of Trump’s unlimited control over the party, and because of their
unhesitating service to Trump’s plan to eradicate democracy, that now they would hold and exercise the power in the Republican party.
And they were not wrong.
The plan failed in immediate execution, but the power and control over the party remains intact. And so many “conservatives” like Mitt Romney and Brave Kevin still have not really reckoned with that fact. The freaks run the Republican dark carnival now. Rudy, Eastman, MTG, Gaetz, Vance, Lake, and Trump. They hold all the keys to power and control over who rises and who does not.
And those who refused their share of that treasonous baggage by holding back in any way are out.
As sad, degenerate, and pathetic as Rudy may now seem, he has more power in “conservative” politics than Mitt Romney, or Meghan McCain, or Kevin McCarthy, or anybody named Bush or Cheney.

@89 “Chickenhawk Warmongers”
LOL! That was pork sauce when it worshipped the warmongering on terra empty suit it voted for twice.
Chickenhawk, bawk, bawk, bawk…
Literally wrong about everything important all the time.
Its record as a prognosticator is miserable and failed, yes.
92,
But so failed and wrong.
It insisted that debt ceiling negotiations would culminate in a “doddering Biden” forced to crawl on his knees before the assembled Republican might and publicly fellate the Speaker.
Instead Dark Brandon played them. 2024 spending is precisely where the President demanded. 2025 goes up. Defense got approval for increases to fund Ukraine kicking the shit out of Putin. And debt ceiling is suspended into 2025 beyond the next election.
Republicans caved like weak bitches.
And they’ll do it again. But only after extracting the maximum of self-humiliation and political self-harm.
Apparently Schumer has relented due to Tuberville’s unchanged position, and will begin moving the military promotions through one at a time instead of as a bloc.
Or, at least, the ones that Tuberville wants to see debated will be debated. Maybe after the 6-8 problematic ones are handled individually, the remaining 295 or so can be voted on as a bloc.
This could have happened months ago. Schumer waited until yesterday to begin following the Senate’s rules.
It will be a little longer before cammie jammies become rainbow uniforms.

@106 Not only doesn’t Trump “get” what “was in it” for our nation’s war dead, but he also says wounded veterans shouldn’t be seen in public because “nobody wants to see that.”
Doctor Dumbfuck likes to toss out phrases like “POS,” but Trump is an indisputable piece of shit. Just ask any veteran.

@108 This isn’t apples and oranges, doc, it’s steak vs. the shit that comes out at the other end.
FDR knew the fascists were dangerous, but was stymied by Republican isolationists. GWB, like all Republicans, championed and facilitated the financial deregulation that created the danger.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/general-mark-milley-trump-coup/675375/
I would merely note there’s been a widespread belief expressed in these comment threads that Doctor Dumbfuck voted for the deranged “Hitler-like” piece of shit twice.
I suspect Trump’s contempt for the military is rooted in being shipped off to a military academy in his youth. He strikes me as the kind of juvenile delinquent who wouldn’t take to wearing a cadet uniform and hate being bossed around. He’s probably hated everything and everybody associated with the military ever since. He’s certainly made it clear he despises our veterans, especially those who sacrificed their lives or suffered grievous war wounds.
For my part, as a veteran and loyal patriotic American, I don’t understand how anyone could vote for Trump even once, let alone twice. Only a deranged person could do that.
110,
Now hold on. He seems to have a point of comparison there.
After all, Republicans championed and facilitated a fatal virus that killed millions, blew up global supply chains and disrupted global manufacturing.
114,
It’s resentment.
Trump needs to be the dominant, most respected person in every room. And he knows that fake bone spurs make him look weak, cowardly, and unpatriotic. But mostly he knows that they cost him respect whenever he is in the same room as a veteran unless he can force that veteran to salute him.
@114 MAGA and our troll would love to see Trump in a uniform.

IOKIYAR… It’s OK if you are repukelican!
@120 One is more apropos than the other, and not in that order. Lest we forget:
“Bush’s approach in most situations seemed a reactive combination of calculations to avoid his father’s mistakes and to reject Clinton’s policies. This was especially clear in international affairs: in his first nine months he reversed Clinton’s policy toward China, proclaiming it no longer a ‘strategic partner’ but a ‘strategic competitor’; in the Middle East, by withdrawing U.S. involvement in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians; toward Korea, by abandoning the negotiated accord that had frozen the North’s nuclear program and by humiliating President Kim of South Korea, who was promoting North-South reconciliation, during his March 2001 visit to the White House, contributing to a wave of anti-Americanism in a country that was among the staunchest American allies; by withdrawing U.S. support from the Kyoto treaty on global warming; and by forsaking Clinton’s efforts to address the dangers of international terrorism.
“During the transition between administrations, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger arranged several extensive briefings on this last subject for Bush’s incoming national security adviser, Condoleeza Rice, and others on the Bush team, including Vice President Cheney. One briefing lasted half a day. Berger told them that Osama bin Laden was an ‘existential threat’ and told them that he wanted ‘to underscore how important this issue is.’ In another briefing, Richard Clarke, head of counterterrorism in the NSC, the single most knowledgeable expert in the government, gave them a complete tutorial on the subject. In yet another briefing, CIA officials were brought in to go over all the intelligence available on terrorism.
“Don Kerrick, a three-star general and outgoing deputy national security adviser, overlapped for four months with the new Bush people. He submitted a memo for the new National Security Council warning of the danger of terrorism. ‘We are going to be struck again,’ he wrote. But as Kerrick explained to me, he received no answer to his memo. ‘They didn’t respond,’ he said. ‘They never responded. It was not high on their priority list. I was never invited to one meeting. They never asked me to do anything. They were not focusing. They didn’t see terrorism as the big megaissue that the Clinton administration saw it as. They were concentrated on what they thought were higher priorities than terrorism.’ The Principals meeting of national security officials took up terrorism only once, after constant pressure from Clarke, on September 4, 2001, and at that meeting they discussed using unmanned Predator drone spy aircraft, but no decision was made. ‘Unfortunately,’ said Kerrick, ‘September 11 gave them something to focus on.’”

ABinBev has been relatively stable the last four months.
The temper tantrum seems to have run its course. It’s still the largest beer maker in the world at double the market share of the nearest rival.
Probably time to get in. If Dumbfuck’s prediction of economic collapse comes true, historically cheaper beer brands see sales growth. People won’t give up their alcohol they just gonfor the cheaper brands.
So the American conservative money pulled out and spooked some foreign investors. People are going to notice it’s undervalued soon. Global revenues are up. Global sales volume is up.
Reputable news outlets are reporting it straight up that a Republican on Republican civil war, disarray when they’re being ‘objective’, is the sole cause of the looming shutdown.

Geez, that’s like 3 days out of boot camp. Oh wait, I forgot, Russia doesn’t train its conscripts, they just hand them a rifle, show them how to pull the trigger, point toward the enemy lines and shove them forward.
Average Russian male life expectancy, which was never all that great, is declining again.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The rule of law is still in charge, and while justice is slow, it’s sure. Hundreds of January Sixth Patriots (TM) now have criminal records. Trump, Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and other conspirators have been indicted. Fake electors are looking at felony charges, too. These plotters are lucky to live in America in the 21st century; the English kings would’ve had them drawn and quartered, the Russian tsars would’ve hanged them. Our justice, by comparison, is lenient, generous, and compassionate; all most these fuckers have to do is eat prison food and bend over for their “roommates” for a few months or a few years. And no one is getting off easier than the Murdochs.
Queen YLB’s favorite senator was just indicted.
I think this is the second time the DOJ under a Democrat president has indicted this POS.
@130 Your favorite ex-president who you voted for three times has been indicted four times. He faces 40 felony charges in the classified documents case. One of those charges alone could land your POS in a federal prison for 20 years.
Your most favorite current president is Putin and he fucked up big time and now he’s getting his ass handed to him by Ukraine.
As for you, I agree with the patriotic Americans here who see you as being a traitor to your country.
You, the unserious twat that you are, have made some seriously poor choices in recent years. You’ve done that because you’re truly fucking stupid.
@ 131
Feel free to use any of that next time Trump is in office. Right now he’s not a serving officeholder under indictment by the DOJ under a president of his own party for corruption and bribery.
He’s not under indictment for providing information that could be used in an attack upon the US embassy in
BenghaziCairo.Cash-stuffed envelopes found during a search of the Menendez household contained the fingerprints and/or DNA of one of the co-defendants or of said defendant’s driver.
