You really can do almost anything with that much money. Like, literally anything.

The human species is cooperative in nature. With all those human extracted resources already available, somehow, for reasons I'll never personally understand, we instead willingly - gleefully - give this all over to a handful of (occasionally) drug addled (mostly) rapists and (all) psychopaths to just *have at it*.
Taking ever more and giving ever less.

It's been #HungryHungryHippos time for 6 fucking years! The #oligarchs started smashing the stick hanging out of the hippos ass the second they realised what they could get away with via the #covid pandemic.

They were right. Before the pandemic, there were no trillion dollar companies. IIRC there were 3 centibillionaires.

Today there are TWENTY.

ELEVEN of them are american men in tech. 10 of them are white.

Why are we allowing this to happen? We are 8,000,000,000 people against ~3000 billionaires and a few hundred thousand ultra-loyalists - most of whom are under duress and may or may not know it yet. The'll turncoat just as fast as their #bitcoin crashes.

I really hope we all get together soon - even if it takes another us democratic let down like we're experiencing in so-called canada.

Y'all... We can do this. I'm all in.

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average is low. The last 7DRA calculation was on 6/2.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth
