<PERSON> I agree and this is why "white privilege" is a distraction, while it's true that most of the upper middle class are white, many whites are not in this club, so if I'm a poor white guy (actually I'm native American so this is hypothetical not defensive) my priveledge is that I don't get beaten to death. The term is so generalized that the two are grossly mistaken as one and the same.

@OldEngineer I actually take it for rheumatoid arthritis.
Yearly I undergo a multitude of eye tests. Basically it can effect some people's eye retina therefore not everyone can take the medication. Pretty sure I would have to take a different dosage for malaria.
A person in charge(Trump) shouldn't be talking off the top of his head and leading people aimlessly.

Mr. <PERSON>, so well said. The response the President-elect gave at his town hall when asked what it would mean if he lost said it all. "It might mean I was a lousy candidate"...was his first answer as a possible response. Can we the people even imagine the other guy having made such a remark?

Thank you for writing this important story. As an employment lawyer, I am seeing many small business clients face exactly this dilemma. Congress needs to amend the PPP provisions to make the loans truly stimulative and preserve American jobs. The loan can help employers restart their business when a state reopens and workers and consumers feel safe to resume their jobs and their spending. But right now without needed changes outlined in this article, many small businesses will not be able to restart, and the loans will fail their essential purpose.

<PERSON>'s virus? Very revealing for a paper who has already publicly announced it is no longer objective or fair. Perhaps you didn't notice how many flagrantly disregarded caution during the Memorial Day weekend and all who attended the protest rallies nationwide. <PERSON> took an early lead with a team of seasoned virus veterans. Mistakes were made and we still learn every day how this virus works. As for leadership I think each region has it's own issues and challenges to face. One cure does not fix all. But if you throw shade where it's not sunny you become the problem instead of helping with the solution.

Obtaining funding for scientific research is a major problem for research scientists in the U.S. these days. It simply does not matter if our guys are the "best in the world" as ignorant politicians say to gather votes. It was not such a problem when the U. S. was a word leader in scientific research decades ago. However, cuts to research in the U. S. have made our guys just another bunch of folks trying to compete with many other countries with research programs in this big wide world. U. S. companies do not want to "waste" their funds on "basic" research. They want to make big profits on research done for "free" by other countries. It will be very interesting to see how the U.S. does in the present competition around the World.

The natural conclusion of exponential growth of infections with no end in sight is the infection of every person on Earth. With 2 million deaths to the virus already the probability of everyone being infected within a few years is growing rapidly. In such a world the prospect of getting re-elected to anything will get replaced with the prospect of survival of the human race.

My wife and I live in Bristol, the town profiled in this piece.
We're self-employed, owners of small businesses that are now shut down. So, like many other unemployed New Hampshire-ites, we're spending quite a bit time navigating an overwhelmed state employment security system, trying to collect a small amount of money to add to savings to survive for we don't know how long. And, like some of the folks interviewed in this piece, we don't know if we'll have a business when/if this pandemic passes.
But I can say this, in response to many of the comments posted here: we're all pulling together to manage during this crisis. Yes, some locals don't social distance, but most do. Some folks own guns, as hunting is ingrained here -- what of it? The Chinese restaurant mentioned in the article? An overwhelming majority of us are ecstatic that it opened this past year. And while many of us are politically independent, yes, some folks support politicians whom others do not support. Regardless, we all support each other here -- and we need to, in spite of our differences, if we're to survive.
I commend the author of this piece; it's as even-handed as I could hope it might be. And the photography, too, is superb. Perhaps later today, if the weather approves, my wife and I can trail run the beautiful, granite-ledged ridge you see in the background in the panoramic photograph of the lake. For just an hour, life will seem a bit less tense and anxious.
We're glad we live in this place.

“In the winter, New Hampshire gains more than 250 square miles — roughly a quarter the size of Rhode Island — of flat, undeveloped, public space.”
Another way to explore this, and take in the beauty (and enjoy the peace) is on a pair of snowshoes (or skis), walking across that pond or lake.
Sublime.

What a lovely piece of writing and clearly articulates the feelings of the small town I returned to in hopes of retiring. A beautiful small town in western Kentucky where I was born. Clean, save, and for the area, relatively well-off. Although the coal mines are about gone, there are some manufacturing, government, and healthcare jobs to allow for a decent living. There is, of course, a good deal of poverty (generational in many cases). The town is becoming a bit of a retirement oasis, but many young people leave for better opportunities.
I thought there were "good" people here. I was thinking with the mind of the young child that grew up here. <PERSON> signs are everywhere. More and more trump flags are flying each time I drive into town. Every visit leaving this house assaults me with at least two or three confederate flags on vehicles or trump banners on a truck. It has gotten to the point where I don't want to leave the house. Instead of being offended or turned off from the rhetoric, the evidence of lying about the pandemic, the trump paraphernalia INCREASED after release of the <PERSON> tapes while our cases here skyrocket. Our local hospitals are at capacity in some areas. We are a town of 5,000 with a dwindling population. People don't realize their hate is what will do them in eventually. I don't wonder if it's time to pack my bags. I have made my decision to leave the comfort of familiarity and memories for a larger city.

At this point, how can anyone believe <PERSON> is capable of governing? Economic issues are not it. This man will bankrupt this country as he had his businesses, but there won’t be an Apprentice program to bring in extra money.

@Dean Thats not how it works at all.
These <PERSON> guidelines that you speak of are guidelines that only come into effect if our icu beds are full and the doctors have to choose who gets the last ventilator..
So these guidelines have not used by doctors yet as our ICU wards has not been over 80% capacity. So there has been no need to choose who gets what as its been availalble to all thus far.
And i imagine all countries have rules as to whom get what care if they have to pick. If a country does not have this in place it just shows how unprepared they are not how humane they are... Would u rather an 80 year old with heart failure gets the last ventilator than a 40 year old dad with 2 kids at home? Its about beeing prepared. This is a good thing!

Sweden is a nation that depends a lot on exports. So the reason for not beeing way ahead allrdy here in sweden is beacuse you cant export goods when nobody else is open for business.

I am weary of arguments against reparations that come down to worry about somehow paying someone undeserving, i.e., recent immigrants, people of mixed race, etc. We are at last at a point where white people are beginning to recognize our complicity in systemic racism and its continuing pernicious effects. I don't care if a few "undeserving" people benefit. Lots of such people are getting SBA loans and PPP help and corporate welfare. More important that we at last reckon with the long-lasting impact of enslavement on Black people. Let's pay up. It is the least we can do.

@Sarah your anecdotal experience, though certainly disturbing, is not consistent with high quality data about the effects of bariatric surgery or "diet and counseling." For one thing, even if you don't know the data, you could read this article, where you would learn about sleeve gastrectomy, which is not a malabsorption procedure. But I encourage you to look at the data--morbidity and mortality from bariatric surgery are tiny and the long-term nutrition needs of these patients are well understood. Long term effectiveness is excellent, especially compared to non-surgical weight loss interventions have demonstrated essentially no effect over the near-to-long term. But surgery is not a panacea, and it take significant work after surgery to have good nutrition and sustained weight loss. I hope you'll consider being more of partner in that, the only effective evidenced based approach to sustained weight loss in the morbidly obese.

Sounds like a good start, but what about all those people texting at intersections and when stuck in traffic jams? I know they're much less likely to kill someone if they're going under 10 mile per hour, but it would be good to kill that habit, too.
I wonder if the app using the phone's GPS could be programmed to know where intersections are located?
Alternatively, if the GPS was sensitive enough, to have the app activate when the user was detected on a roadway, rather than when moving, or a combination thereof. For example, to active the app when the user had moved recently at >10mph and was either detected along a route of travel or at an intersection.
For traffic jams, it would be interesting if google's live traffic map could be employed to identify that the user was in an area experiencing travel delays.

I managed to guess at the correct two signatures at the top on my second try. However, that was a fluke when I clicked on one by accident.
I’m curious as to whether or not (statistically) the signature matching works at all, given the low proportion of accepted ballets from Denver (15-20%, as per the article). Would someone who views themselves as at least “moderately good” at forging signatures have a success rate over 20%? (Someone who's terrible at forgeries likely wouldn't bother.)
If someone else is better at my signature than I am, a new system is DEFINITELY in order. I mean, a new system is in order regardless, but stats could make for an interesting argument.

A few years ago as an ex New Yorker, I was heading home to Dallas with two dozen bagels stuffed into my carry on bag. The flight was to Dallas and then to Houston. When deplaning, I opened up the overhead and the outrageous aroma permeated the cabin. The passenger behind me heading to Houston jumped out of his seat and commented that I had a stash of bagels on board. He was so excited that I opened my bag and gave him a couple to enjoy when he arrived home. I’m not sure they survived the flight... but his smile was astonishing.

When sizing up candidates I ask myself two very basic questions:
Would I ever allow this person to work for me and secondly, could I ever work for this person? Asking these simple questions brings all the pro and cons into the thinking and decision process. It forces oneself to consider the persons skills, knowledge, ethics, decency, morals, empathy, maturity, candor, collaboration willingness, emotional stability, and self esteem. All of these are the framework of behaviors that are essentially interwoven, but sorely lacking in the current President and many other politicians. We need to vote for representatives that reflect the good angels in ourselves. VOTE ...

I couldn't disagree more with this conclusion that debates rarely change elections. The history cited shows it does in decisive moments of our past, but not in ways we expect or appreciate. The <PERSON>/<PERSON> debate is a good example. Although the country's future path was not likely altered by the debates in 1984, my vote was when <PERSON> 'got lost' on Highway 1 in his final summary. It was a clear, early signal of his eventual dimentia and changed my vote. After COVID and not seeing the strength and thought of either candidate dynamically sustained over time, I need to see, watch and judge the perfomative strength of both of these old men right now if I am make an assessment of whether either should lead our country.

I can honestly say that over the past couple years I have gone to my parents less and less for support or to just talk to about my issues. I think for other people it depends on how your family has communicated throughout their lives, in my family we’ve never talked about hard pressing issues and I believe that’s why I don’t talk about mine with them often. Now in my life I tend to go to my friends with my issues instead of going to my parents. While I wish my communication with my parents was better I understand that it’s ok that it isn’t and I love that I do have relationships that do support me.

This video shows strength and drama and power. It shows the strength of the surfer riding on something so gigantic and while it holds so much power over her she excels. She continues maybe in fear, but it seems also in pride. The wave is 73 feet of pure strength, yet she continues, she doesn’t dive in, and she doesn’t back down. She faces something that could be so horrifying and threatening and faces strength with strength.

Totally agree that debates are just theater. The quality of the debate often depends on the moderator(s). Too often, the debate is a chance for the moderator to raise his/her stature in the journalism. In other cases, the moderator does not have the skills to keep the debate under control.
Participants in the debate often ignore the question asked and make whatever talking point the candidate wants to make. The debates should be structures so that microphone for the candidate is cut off if the candidate veers from answering the question asked.

My wife and I are 68 years old. Two years ago, we purchased a second home in Kansas near my daughter in order to spend more time with our grandchildren. We came back to Kansas just before the pandemic exploded. My daughter and son-in-law began working from home during the stay-at-home order. Our grandchildren came to our house 5 to 6 hours per day to allow my daughter to work from home. We also became responsible for the schooling at home to take some of the stress off our daughter. The six of us in this circle practiced social distancing. I am not concerned about catching Covid-19 from my grandchildren. I worry more about catching it from people who refuse to wear face masks or practice social distancing.

@Luke I'm a saying that she's attacking others with substantial wealth while exempting herself.
Diminishing returns do not matter in this context when the billionaires and very wealthy millionaires have more than enough money to cover their expenses. They of the same cloth.
I recommend you also learn about ad hominem logical fallacies since her wealth status and condemnation of billionaires is not an irrelevant issue.

@Ignatius J. Reilly UHB was a designated only COVID hospital. KCH patients are also almost all covid, though without the state designation. KCH is honestly more functional than UHB. HH+C supports them, whereas no one supports SUNY. This may have been different in the 80's when you were there, but is far from the truth now.

This article, as many, neglect to emphasize the burden placed on resident physicians in this time. Resident physicians at the manhattan hospital have received hazard pay and appropriate PPE. Trainees at university hospital make around 5-10$/hr (with 200K or more of debt from medical school and undergrad) and they are the ones actually on the floors of the hospital at risk and responding to the codes. When trainees ask for hazard pay, the e-mails aren't even responded to. We are given one mask every six days. I've worn the same hair bonnet for 2 weeks. Resident physicians are never mentioned in all these articles, yet we are at the bedside holding patient's hands, giving CPR when their heart stops, facetiming their families so they can say goodbye, drawing blood when the nurses refuse to. Where is the hazard pay for these trainees?

The images are so beautiful they both enchant and wound, which is probably why so many comments are bitter.

I know about sorrow and want and homelessness (in case you want to send me to the re-education farm) & still or maybe because of that I believe in house magic the magic of having a place of one’s own.

I am confused about the need to rely on the US mail to deliver paper census materials. There are literal billboards here in San Francisco telling people to go online to census.gov to fill out the census. The lucky folks who left New York to get away from the virus all have internet access and they mostly read the NYT online. I am sure that they can figure out how to be counted.

In 1980, I was nearly 30. I distinctly remember a sickening feeling when learning of the election of <PERSON>. I saw a different future when I heard him spout such bromides as "government is not the solution, government is the problem." With his history, I saw him as a simple(ton) mouthpiece for forces in the shadows that needed his ability to read a script with a twinkle in his eye.
At the same time, I noted that, at the same time problems were becoming more complex, the population of America seemed to be becoming less intelligent. The rigorous public education I was privileged to have in the Midwest of the 1950s and 1960s was disappearing at an alarming rate.
Looking back, I think that was a true tipping point. The focus of the populace began to veer away from the common good to "what's in it for me?" Taxes were anathema and had to be minimized. Greed and ignorance multiplied rapidly in the ground that was liberally fertilized with Republican drek.
What followed was <PERSON> x 2 (<PERSON>, <PERSON>), Iraq, <PERSON> (the Third Way), <PERSON> (no consequences for foreign policy lies and economic collapse,) and now the feculent cretin and all that he has brought to the country and the world.
Sorry that I was correct in 1980. I think it is too late to pull out of this nosedive to oblivion. I am ashamed to be a citizen of this country and a member of the generation that started out with so much promise but ended up bringing us to this wretched place.

But haven’t ALL political leaders failed young black people?
The underlying principle behind today’s protests is that it’s not up to blacks to deal with racism; it’s up to whites. With blacks only a small percentage of the population and holding a disproportionately small amount of assets, it has to be that way. And finally, white people are beginning to understand that.
Black leaders, once achieving their positions in society at large, have been forced to “play defense” just to remain relevant, as symbols of possibility and hope. Nothing wrong with that. We’ve heard a lot from black leaders over the last few weeks. They have been very good at articulating the problems of black communities, imho. That will be their most important function.
But by writing such a critical piece about black leaders, you’re falling comfortably into the white narrative of how incompetent blacks are, even those who are “successful.”

Hindsight is always 20/20. At the time, <PERSON> knew there was a shortage of masks in the US. His recommendation was based on the understanding that medical staff would need all the available masks. They would likely be using 10, 12, 15 masks a day each as they went from patient to patient. He could not have anticipated that the administration would be so incompetent and so defiant in the face of an oncoming public health catastrophe. Even I didn’t think that would happen.
And after all has been said and done over the last several months, you’re going to hang your hat on one comment <PERSON> made early on? You are searching for an excuse to blame science for this pandemic, when clearly the blame lies with <PERSON>.

@Hanson In some middle schools, that's the plan, to have teachers move between classrooms. But that still doesn't reduce the number of students with whom teachers are exposed on a daily basis. Teachers will still have 40-50 students they will be exposed to each day, and for long periods of time - 50 minutes or even more in high school. That isn't the 2 or 3 minutes you're exposed to one or two other people at a time at the grocery store. Even if teachers are the ones moving, remember that they'll have been exposed to all of the students that they have seen earlier in the day.
And as <PERSON> mentioned, there are still those students who are not always compliant - what do we do with them? Will teachers be allowed to send them to ISS or an alternative learning classroom? Will we be able to send them home if they keep moving their mask to talk to their friends, or grab (slap, kiss, hug, pass notes to...) other students in the hallways? Will administrators be allowed to refuse students entry to school, if the students will not follow the rules or for repeated infractions?
Very huge issues with returning in-person to school. We need to figure out an equitable way to provide online learning to all students, with most students in home settings with family/friend groups, or in "learning centers" with 6 of the same students meeting each day with the same teacher supervising; lunch and services could still be provided if students require it. All classes online for everyone.

This is difficult and exhausting for everyone, and I feel for the teachers. Hybrid learning just never made sense to me since you still get a lot of the virus risk for little return AND you have to support two learning platforms, which falls solely on the teachers. I have a special needs child who is attending only remotely because it just didn't seem to make sense to send him to school twice a week for a couple hours of in-person learning and risk everyone's health. So... he is home with me while I try to work full-time and tend to his academic, technology, social, and physical needs. Everyone is exhausted and stressed out and it is definitely not sustainable. But we all need to remember that this too shall pass. And perhaps we will all be more grateful for teachers and more supportive of public schools when things get back to normal. One can hope.

I'm sorry, but I have thought this for decades and for the first time I'm just going to toss it out here: Why do we not have a museum regarding slavery? We have several through the country that discuss The Holocaust, but none, that I am aware of, that discuss slavery. Put all those statues there. Put all those paintings there. Present it as it needs to be presented - with the eyes of enlightened 21st century Americans. Explain what happened to African families. Explain how it harmed the nation as a whole. Explain how we can never repay the debt we owe the slaves that built so much of this nation when it began. A nice space in DC to start would be lovely I think. Real estate is expensive, but I'm betting someone could run the numbers and find a way of making this happen.

I never understood why I had to be there as the vet would give me more "bedside manner" than the dog/cat, I'm sure my pets are actually getting better care and a closer look and I'm not spending too much of my life looking at posters of the dangers of fleas and ticks.

Slavery is one of the worst things humans have inflicted on other humans, though genocide may be worse. But I don't see why we should be paying money, many years later, to the descendants of people who have suffered. My ancestors may have experienced injustices at various times throughout history, but I am not expecting financial payback now. Let's move on and improve our behavior going forward, especially with regard to disadvantaged minorities.

I've never had a twitter account. I did not have to quit Facebook - I never had a facebbook account. I do not have cable or satellite and do not watch network T.V. (too many commercials!) I use an ad blocker and have not seen ads in years. I never, ever post anything, especially pictures, into 'cyberspace' except comments in the NYT. I don't care if strangers 'like' me. And I turn off all location-tracking on all the few apps I use. Paranoid? No. I'm just aware of privacy issues. And I don't give away data for free. Simple as that.
Do I live in a cave with no connection to the outside world? Hardly. I read the NYT, The New Yorker, various science sites (always looking of good ones - anyone?) watch PBS and on-demand content, listen to public radio, BBC and on-demand content. I use e-mail, some texting and I talk to friends on the phone (weird right?). Bottom line - I manage my intake and output.
I know how to use a computer. I design very large computer systems for very large corporations.
And lastly, I too live in Portland. So here's to going to great brew pubs again after Covid!

My daily commute is 20 miles or more round-trip. For that and all the other city driving I do, my Chevy Spark EV is by far the best car I've ever had. Gas free, oil free, transmission, radiator, starter, ... free, maintenance free, trouble free and fast. It is super fun to drive. Its range is 90 miles fully charged which is more than I ever need for a single day of city driving. I charge it overnight when electricity is cheap using a regular electrical outlet. Are there 'better' electric cars? Yes I suppose but not for $14000 brand new. I do have another inexpensive car for long trips out-of-town and my Spark eliminates all the wear-and-tear of city driving on my gas car. I do not understand why there are not more Sparks on the road in cities. Is 'looks' and 'status' the problem even if my Spark can beat most gas cars off the line? Did I mention how fun it is to drive? Try it, you'll like it.

A guy yelling "revolution" in an electoral environment where over 60% of Americans polled said they're better off now than they were three years ago (a poll cited on MSNBC last night) would lead this party to a disastrous defeat.

New Yorkers haven't been told not to use mass transit. Critical workers who don't own cars (and there are lots of them, since a car is a luxury in the city) need to use mass transit.
People congregating in parks and other gathering places should be ticketed and fined for violating social distancing orders, but people in critical jobs need to get to work.

The Trump Administration has been lying to the American Public about every aspect of the Corona Pandemic.

As for <PERSON>; with 76 plus days left in his term, the fuse is burning.
He has broadcast his intentions; do not disregard his words.
He is a rabid caged animal that will bite and scratch and claw at the walls that are meant to contain him, and the hands that both slap him and feed him.
He has no regard. He has nothing to lose.
Be vigilant. Be vocal. Be active.
But be careful; the foundation of decency that we assumed has been shown to be crumbled and failing.
We are on thin ice.
BE VIGILANT!

@TP have you ever worked in an hostile workplace? Read about that. Its clear that this was her experience working for the NYT - and no one has disputed this notion in the article. Given how her co workers caused someone else with similar views to hers to quit his job - that was how she felt, as I understand it.
Her disillusionment of what it means to work in the NYT and being part of an open discussion is also a part of the pain she expresses.
Its not about the struggle of advocating for your opinions, but about not being able to express them without the fear of retribution.
You might not think that her opinions should be allowed in the NYT without merit - but you patronized without reading, because an hostile workplace matches a “physical or emotional abuse” as you described it. And if you think thats not an hostile workplace but a regular one - you should explain why.

@Expunged according to news in Israel they wanted to assassinate him years ago but withdraw as the USA was against it.
Israel has been for years threatened by Iran - who which each passing year has armed Hezbollah with more dangerous ammunition using the forces led by <PERSON>.
What keeps them for war is the cost of such war on Lebanon. If Iran pushes they “war” button now - it will at least be without any nuclear weapons able to destroy most of the middle east. And if there are staggering casualties of civilians in Israel - it would at least mean the end of Hezbollah and the Iranian threat on Israel.
Israel is linked to the united states by a deep link of shared interests and mutual values. Most of the time and this is just one more - our interests coincides.
There is a reason why most of the Israeli politicians (left also) didn't endorse the deal with Iran - it would have kept us as a human shield for years to come while Iran would wait for an opportune moment to put the pedal to the metal on its nuclear weapons aspirations, perpetuating a culture of appeasement towards them from the western society while they continue ravaging the middle east.
You don't need to be scared for us - we were afraid enough for the past 90 years, and we are ready.

First check your local advisories and restrictions. I live in LA and have a second home in Palm Springs. We are prohibited from traveling to our vacation homes. We are to shelter in place. I’m not going to break that. If others do then I would suggest the locals make sure to let people know who they are. As for those corporate jets showing up in vacation areas and I am told Palm Springs I’d suggest finding out which corporations are allowing that and publicly exposing those corporations as much as possible. There are not two sets of rules and with corporate bailouts coming corporations especially need to abide by the rules.

@barbara - what “is” is not necessarily what “ought to be”. Just because there are ppl that take advantage of the poor and there are laws that are lagging and allow them to do that, doesn’t make it common sense to do it. It makes the ppl that do it awful, uncaring, and corrupt.. there are ppl that have no where to live when your friend prices rent to what the market is. Look at San Francisco. The homeless population can not afford rent, then are demonized because they’re homeless. That all started because of predatory landlords.
It really is hard for me to understand how you can justify this, along with saying that wealth doesn’t corrupt. This article is the proof you need to see that it does.

@ZAW This is So important. I normally vote in our early voting process in Wisconsin, but it is still an absentee ballot. Even though I may be considered in a “high risk” category for COCID-19, I plan to mask up and personally insert my ballot into the voting machine on Election Day morning. I also am urging anyone I know to do the same. Hopefully between now and November 3, the sane media will be urging anyone who possibly can to vote IN PERSON.

This is such an important editorial. I beg you and the editorial board of the NYT to keep hammering away at this issue. What happen here during the spring primary was beyond shameful. It is a clear warning for the nation of what will be happening as we continue the primary cycle and the final voting in November. I won’t bother to comment extensively on what has transpired here in my state since <PERSON> and the Republicans took over in 2010 but we no longer live in a state where common sense, and the common good is valued. The so-called primary that was held here last Tuesday was a clear exercise in disenfranchisement and one more example of the iron grip the conservatives hold on on levels of state power, save the now eviscerated office of Governor. The process of requesting a mail-in absentee ballot was a complete debacle, and there was no way that this vote will be a true reflection of the will of the citizens. It will only reflect those who had the means and good health to vote early or those few brave souls who stood in line for hours, and in the late afternoon pouring rain here in Milwaukee to make their voices heard. I am so ashamed of my state.

I think Draper James and their marketing team knew exactly what they were doing. Teachers are probably getting inundated with spam emails offering them a paltry 30% coupon for a dress that probably costs $3 to make. If they had planned only to give away a set amount this should have been made clear on national T.V., where she came off looking like the philanthropist of the year. Stingy to say the least. What a marketing ploy to get marketing data from millions of teachers. Shame on them.

After being warned not to point the pistol at the other person he said that the particular model wouldn’t fire without a ‘clip’ (sic) in place. He then intended to demonstrate that it was safe by pointing it at his head and pulling the trigger. There was a round in the chamber and the pistol proved not to have the magazine disconnect feature that he believed it had. It was a tragic unintentional death as the result of reckless ignorance, not suicide.

Politicians need to think much bigger. Only helping those who are employed or filed a tax form will truly miss the most vulnerable. Those who have lived in the "cash" economy (day laborers, construction, field hands, odd jobbers) of the gig economy may not have filed taxes. Payments need to reach the most vulnerable. If one has a social security number, even if haven't filed taxes, they need money.
I shudder to think of the fabric of society unraveling and the possibility of uprisings if people get really desperate. There are a lot of guns out there.

<PERSON> keeps trying to prop up the idea that there is such a thing as a conservative intellectual core. There is NOTHING intellectual about conservatism. Even <PERSON> in 1959 knew what conservatism is about when he said (roughly) the only idea that animates conservatives is stopping liberals. He spent his life trying, and failing, to construct an intellectual skeleton upon which to hang the stinking flesh of conservative mythology. Today, conservatism isn't about ideas at all, it's about emotions. Emotions that people gather around fiercely: hatred and loyalty/tribal pride.
Therefore, Mr. <PERSON>, the partisan divide is not ideological, it is philosophical. Rationality and the values of the Enlightenment versus arationality, a complete detachment from the strictures (those hated "regulations") of rational discourse. Just listen to a few minutes of a <PERSON> sermon, it's a frenzy of insensible words, lashed together with hatred. And his people love it.
I appreciate the challenge of your quixoitic quest to continue with Mr. <PERSON>'s failed effort, but I'm afraid you're going to have to get your head out of your "both-sidesism" and see the conservative movement for what it really is: a rejection of reason and human authority for the sake of conservative religious sensibilities.

I think calling the Republican relationship with truth "a rejection of facts" misses the nature of the transaction. Republicans don't just refuse to accept truth, they eagerly embrace story lines that are obviously made up and easily debunked.
There is something powerfully reinforcing in their behavior of lying and making stuff up that goes beyond mere "rejection of facts." You can see it in the giddiness with which they shout their lies. They're like little kids who've decided they don't have to listen to their parents anymore (at least until dinnertime).
The reason it's important to make this distinction is what it means for us fact-tellers. We need to realize that hosing them down with facts actually feeds them, it makes them feel ever more righteous.

The fact that we need to be scared of voter fraud of "fake news" influencing the people's decision is a kind of disgrace. We live in a very privileged country where everyone over 18 can vote. You can vote by mail or go to the local polling station. Many people cannot make it to the polls and need to vote by mail. However, they may be scared (and have a good reason to be) of their vote being lost or altered by the mail carrier or external forces. Today's "influencers" or social media stars are extremely important in spreading political views. Younger voters may see what people say or see fake articles about candidates causing them to change their views. A good example is when <PERSON> tweeted about <PERSON> house hinting that the money to buy this house came from unlawful sources.

<PERSON> I agree with you on the fact that during the pandemic we have been lacking leadership from our government especially our president. <PERSON> has not worn a mask a single time during this pandemic even in public or at gatherings. He should not be a role model to anyone for how we avoid ending up even worse off. If the president were to were a mask and preach about how well they work instead of denying them our country would be so much better off. Also if we were to quarantine sooner and actually FOLLOWED the guidelines the CDC puts out we would be in a much better situation. I do not agree with your statement that schools should be closed and we should be in complete lockdown. Keeping the economy shut down for much longer will strike us greatly. We need to focus on opening up safely. According to the New York Times new case graph we are on another incline. When we originally started opening up slowly our cases stayed down. Due to certain states' lack of guidelines the cases have increased. We cannot afford to keep the economy closed but need to not just let the virus rip. Proper guidelines or laws even should be used to reduce risk in schools, restaurants, and shops. We will never be able to abolish the virus and its risk, but we can do our best to mitigate it.

Finally, Rikers has a purpose. Hire the outgoing inmates as CO's.
Strip the crims' family assets: reparations. Crush their clean white hands. Move on to the next: How to focus and enclose the endless war.
Have you heard the one about the Texas politicians who declare war on their former business partners? [As distinct from the war started by the sons of their current business partners.] The politicians contract the war to their former Texas firms and sell
US Treasury bonds to China to pay for it. With the full faith and credit of the United States, the offering goes so well, the politicians issue check to every taxpaying home, to raise spirits, to support the nation. "Go to the mall!' Go to Wal-Mart.
Deficits are just a number. Pay no attention to your lying eyes.
Remember to take your gun to the mall.
We have an honest President now. He said so.

<PERSON> Could not have agreed with you more. After making a move in early 2017 from DC to London, my wife and I live a completely different life. Mindless wasted hours of frustrating driving commute were replaced by walking and using exceptionally good public transport. Phenomenal fresh produce. Great healthcare options (both NHS and private). Most of all - London; the two thousand year old ultra modern city with so many layers that one needs years to uncover them. On a top of al this, any European destination is at most a three hour flight. Mediterranean at your fingertips. I wish more people realised that they could either do the same work they always do or do something different in another country without fear. There is only one life.

Thank you for your encouraging perspective this morning. I began reading with some skepticism, but as you cited historical examples and the cycles of American history, I began to feel a bit better. I am an educator and will be teaching (whether in person or online) a group of First Year students in a cohort called the Change Makers. I can't wait to use your column as one of their first readings in a few weeks. If we can move along the trajectory you suggest is possible, these young people will be in the vanguard. Thank you.

<PERSON> The thing is, human population can be reduced either quickly or ethically, but not both.
As for gluttony, it expresses itself most devastatingly in the form of animal farming. 60% of all mammals are livestock. 70% of birds are poultry.
We are effectively replacing wild species with farmed ones. Plant-based diets can reverse this trend.

I have been both a remote worker and in the office worker over the last several years. Right now, my entire company, world wide, are remote workers with the exception of those needing to be in a lab environment. My work team is not expected to be back into our offices until late fall. We were a 3/2 team - meaning in the office 3 days, WFH 2 days a week though I rarely worked the 2 at home. Our team is very collaborative in its design so sometimes it was just easier to go into the office. WFH during this pandemic has made that collaboration a bit harder - WebEx helps. I find that having a separate work space has enabled me to shut my computer off and walk away. No working from the couch or dining room table AND company policy encourages us to WALK AWAY from your computers after hours. The company even gave everyone last Friday off NO requirement to use a PTO day - company wide, giving us a 4 day weekend in the states. Our CEO gets it as does the rest of the leadership team. AND this is a VERY LARGE global TECH company. It will be the choice of managers and CEOs to make the culture change.

<PERSON> I worked part of a holiday season at Target - in our training - we were forced to watch an ANTI-UNION video and sign off we watched it. Retailers will do whatever it takes to make sure you do not organize regardless of the law. Retaliation for union organizing is ongoing. It isn't the employees fault. Look at what happened at the VW plant in TN - Germany has a UNION rep on the Board of Directors. The ANTI-UNION group in TN spent MILLIONS telling the employees that voting for a union would destroy the company - the vote failed. Obviously you made your comment without knowing any recent history.

From the internet: Highbush cranberry - Often mistaken for true cranberries, the highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) is a landscape bush that develops edible fruit in the fall. This fruit looks and tastes similar to a cranberry, but it's not exactly the same thing. Also, the highbush cranberry plant takes five years or more to bear fruit, unlike the common lowbush variety that takes two years. This makes the lowbush vine better for commercial production.

I don't think I've necessarily broken a habit purposefully, foe me it was just a kind of thing that just happened. For example, I used to find myself biting my nails so often to the point of where I couldn't remember doing it. I would just look at my nails and wonder what happened or why do my nails never grow. I really did try to stop the habit but I could never really stop. I then just occupied myself with a lot of stuff like schoolwork and after school activities. It soon came to the point of where I was so busy I didn't have time to bite my nails. After that period of time, I just stopped biting my nails. I don't even do it anymore at all. I honestly don't know what to say to anyone trying to stop a bad habit. All I can say i just try to adjust to whatever you need to break that habit.

Yesterday afternoon I quit soccer. I had been playing soccer for literally 10 years now. I thrived I was put on traveling teams, won championships, constantly celebrated wins. Recently though I just started to hate it. I wasn't even planning to play soccer at all anymore this season, but my mom wanted to me to. I went to tryouts for her, I ran constantly for her, all the sweat and the time were for her. Tryout results were posted and I made Varsity as I had done freshman year and she was so proud and she never showed if she was proud. Therefore, I was happy I was relishing in the love my mom was showering me with. I continued to play but everyday I noticed myself counting down the hours, the minutes, the seconds until I had to be on the field. I dreaded going and it made me feel nauseous. I had to do something because I was also in our school play and unlike soccer I really enjoyed theater. When I thought about it, even more than soccer. So I told my mom about how much stress I was going through and how if I continued to play any longer I would lose my mind. She then said that if I wanted to quit then I should quit. So I did. I walked into my coaches class and told her that I wouldn't be able to give soccer my all. I then told her after I did it and I went home. She was so angry. She told me that she bragged about me to everyone and how everyone was proud of me. I was feeling bad for myself. I don't regret it though. I've never felt so relieved in my life.

Arguing AFTER the fact is not a winning argument.

We did this trip two years ago last week when we left California for New England, fulfilling my dream of returning to live on the East Coast. I am a photographer and was really excited to record the trip. I also saw the dilapidated structures and signs. When I stopped to photograph one, I realized it’s just been done too much. I ended up photographing the clouds, the way the light hit the red rocks, the edges of buildings with the blue sky- creating abstracts. As we made our way it just became so sad. In Gallup at 8am we watched a man stumble around a parking lot, completely drunk, tripping and falling. In Albuquerque we watched a painfully skinny woman chase a man down the street beating him over the head. She was shoeless. When we drove. 50 miles, saw one house, then drove another 50 before we saw anything else. Well, the anxiety and despair felt too heavy. I put the camera away. It wasn’t the trip for what should really be told. The photos of what once was just aren’t enough anymore. It’s the photos of what is now that needs to be told.

Short term renting of homes in my previous neighborhood in Beverly Hills CA is what helped to drive us out of our home of 20 years. Parties, filming, <PERSON> swag suites. It was a weekly event on our cul de sac of 10 houses. The permit fees paid to the city outweighed our rights as homeowners. The police did nothing. Less than nothing in fact when they were on site to make sure filming followed the rules, they ate the craft services food, hung out with the crew, and posed for selfies with the celebrities. Cars blocked our driveway. Filming that was permitted from 9am-6pm went from 7am to midnight. Parties had valet parking for 300 cars. Drunk people yelling until 3am. The offending house got $25,000 a DAY as a rental fee. It was so bad that when a notoriously bad-behaved celebrity, known for attacking his neighbors, rented the house long term, it was a relief.

Yes, for once it is an advantage to live in a country where people abide the rules - and even wait at red traffic lights in the middle of nowhere by night.
But I am surprised to read all the praise about the level of testing in Germany in the non-German media. We experienced similar restrictions to obtain tests, at least in big cities, like in other countries. Unless you really had severe symptoms, you would not get a test but simply be advised to voluntarily quarantine at home, and no tracking of your contacts. The worst failure was to let all the people who went on skiing holidays in the Alps to return without tracking, let alone testing. (That was for example the case in Hamburg, with its dedicated „skiing holidays“.) The health minister just asked them to please stay at home for two weeks. At that time, ist was clear that they had a high risk of infection. What did they do upon return? Of course they went grocery shopping, and afterrwards the infection rate increased dramatically. So not so great a picture as it is painted. But that just shows you how bad it must be in other countries in comparison.

<PERSON> unfortunately provides evidence on a daily basis that the US presidential system does not have strong checks and balances in place that would prevent the democracy to deteriorate towards an authoritarian system if you have a president who does not adhere to the norms of the incumbent (and largely pro-democracy) elites and a partisan majority in the Senate the aim of which is to keep power at all cost. That can happen with either party. The system is vulnerable. Maybe time to change the system - towards the popular vote and a true parliamentarian democracy. The current system was created due to historic reasons that have long been outdated.

Equality is not a core value in capitalism. The notion that money follows 'merit' is sold out by the top 1% who do not want things to be changed. The top 1% always ignores how you started your life (e.g. education, housing, family values and health) and the connections you had, which can make a huge difference on how successful you are now. Moreover, people are so immersed in their own problems that they will not spend time to address the suffering of others, that is the dark reality in the world. Just giving money to poor people will not make them thrive, they also need a supporting network.

Good point and agree that many problems can be mitigated by providing good standard of living to people and rewarding them. A better redistribution of wealth, based primarily on the financial situation of individuals, could be a big game changer. However, this is an utopic concession that will be attacked with phrases such as 'communism has never worked anywhere', 'you need to reward big achievers who create wealth for the nation' and 'everybody can reach the jackpot with a good strategy'. France tried a 75% on rich people and they just moved to other countries - patriotism has lower value than one's assets. I honestly do not see a good will to change vested interests and power.

Your personal experience differs greatly from the rest of the state. Insurance companies are actually broadening their coverage and access in CA compared to states that did not adopt the ACA. <PERSON> had a vision to improve health care for Americans. Anyone who knows anything about history and government knows these things take time. Republicans were (and remain) so anti-Obama (rooting for it to fail and caring not a bit for Americans who needed health coverage) they were not willing to give it a chance. The GOP threats to gut Obamacare actually drove premium increases and caused insurance companies to flee markets. Luckily <PERSON> had no vision beyond the empty phrase"repeal and replace" so it went nowhere and he did nothing and thank God for that since now the market is rebounding. And imagine what your tax bill would look like if you were having to pay for all those people who couldn't afford their insurance or care and went to the emergency room but now have coverage!

Most women who experience harrassment never report it, so where are all these false accusations you claim coming from? I am 43 years old and have worked in many fields in various cities and never once have I heard a woman make a false accusation. I have, on the other hand, many times listened while a female colleague privately told me about harassment over lunch or a drink in confidence, knowing it was just between us and she was venting because she felt/knew she COULD NOT report it.

Similarly, universities that are planning to open seem only to talk about classrooms and dorms, not frat houses and off-campus apartments and local bars where social encounters take place

<PERSON> Why do you think people consider you out of touch? If there is a particular demographic that thinks once you turn a certain age (50, 60, 70?) you drop off society's radar, then they are the ones who are out of touch.
Retired people have the time (and hopefully the inclination) to read, learn, vote en masse, and shake up the powers that be.

I believe that it is important to be in school because having kids not have connections o real humans can have negative affects. I personally believe that there should be some normal-ness to the school day while still staying distant. Without a normal-ish day kids will feel like they are in a prison. Also by being less strict with students when they mess up with the COVID guidelines helps. Most of the time that kid is just trying to make it feel like normal again.

In my personal opinion the 2020 election should be something to worry about. Both sides have very different opinions from each other and do not show any signs of compromising. The reason why (in my opinion) elections are good is because the people get to decide who they want to lead them. But on the flipside, it is bad because whoever is leading will do what they think is right based on what they grew up with. Oftentimes this leads to the balance swaying the state of the county to one side. I personally believe there should be no specific party and each candidate runs for what he/she believes in and the people then decide from there.

Another example of why museums need more funding and diverse leadership. How can the museum perform "proper outreach," as the author suggests, with out the proper resources and compensation for their staff? Who is on the board approving budgets and exhibitions? It is disappointing to know that most often it is the case that arts institutions prioritize the bottom line over new scholarship, especially any content deemed "sensitive" that catalyzes feelings of white fragility. Ultimately, a blockbuster show of a well known (and likely white, straight, cis male artist) keeps the doors of the museum open. Continuing to rely on the art historical canon only amplifies disparities in the art world. Perhaps arts organizations will one day be supported enough to do this work and dismantle the canon.

Thank you New York Times for giving attention to this issue with a long history in our country. My grandmother and mother faced anti-Semitism in their public school in a small town in Texas. I was raised in the Bay Area in California and also faced anti-Semitic micro aggressions from my teachers and peers at public and private schools.

<PERSON>, will you ever admit that it takes an enormous investment from the federal government to produce and maintain a program that educates the whole person? Such a program can not succeed if large segments of the population have inadequate access to housing, food, and healthcare. I lived in Lyngby, Denmark and worked in Malmo, Sweden for a summer 15 yrs ago. My host family were professionals, and the journalist Mom payed 51% of her income in taxes. Although they really had to manage their remaining income to live their beautiful life, they were happy to do so for the amazing health care, education system, environmental protection, and services for the poorest parts of society. On my daily bike-train-walk-commute, there were almost no homeless people. That would have been unacceptable to citizens of both countries. On my commute from Durham to Raleigh, I pass a half dozen homeless people every day. I volunteered in our public schools. I saw poor kids going through the trash to get middle class kids' snacks. Why? They were hungry. I long for a Scandinavian system, the whole person education and the taxes that make them possible.

3. announce at start of the 3rd pres. debate that he has approved and TAKEN the vaccine (which will net him the most profits -- probably MNRA's -- and declare that the virus is soon magically to disappear as he has often asserted.
4. challenge again in key states the "fraudulent mail-in votes". States apparently must announce whom their electors will support by December 8. Especially if he and his donor postmaster

As a teacher, I agree. But strangely, what I have noticed is that many people only take the pandemic seriously when schools are closed. It’s like they think, “Well, my kids are in school all day, so I’ll let them have a Halloween party.” I actually had a group of seven students zooming from the same house on a remote learning day.
There was an article recently in the NYT about risk, and how people actually take more risks when they are taking more risks, and fewer when they are taking fewer risks. If people want schools to stay open, they will cut down the risks in other areas of their lives to make it happen. But they don’t seem to really want to do that.

Here is how to open schools safely: test students, staff and teachers. Those who test negative return to school. Those who test positive learn remotely. Those who refuse a test also learn remotely. Contact trace the positive cases. Repeat testing at intervals. It doesn’t eliminate risk but it sure minimizes it. As a teacher, that’s how I would feel safe going back. If schools are so important to the economy, this is how to open them and ensure they don’t close back down.

Although passenger numbers are down by two-thirds, flights have also been reduced by about half. A LOT of people are still flying, and a LOT of planes are quite full.
Yet very few flight crew members have had covid symptoms or have tested positive. If they did, the unions would be making a huge push for additional safety measures.
I’m surprised, but perhaps air travel is not as risky as assumed.
I am not saying there is no risk and I am not trying to convince anyone to fly.
Can we publish an article with scientific data on covid patients’ travel histories in an airline hub city instead of another article about perceived airplane cooties?

Hi, I’m <PERSON> from Ohio. I’m very disappointed with the way our leaders have taken the coronavirus aka COVID-19. It’s pathetic to see our country leader in public without a mask on, even after he tested positive for COVID-19. Our president has set a terrible example for our country. He hasn't respected the CDC guidelines for COVID and it shows how it affects our country. Roughly 50% of our country is anti-mask. These people are called denyers, they deny the fact our country is in the midst of a massive world-wide pandemic. Just a couple days ago during hockey practice I saw a group of full grown men and women not respecting the CDC guidelines. They were inside, with no mask, and weren’t six feet apart. It’s disgraceful to see these people being idiots about COVID and it’s probably because of our president. <PERSON>, however, has done great in following the guidelines. Everytime he isn’t speaking in public he has his mask on. He is respectful of the people around him and follows the CDC guidelines. If I were president I would be like <PERSON>. I would act great in public and use my authority to enforce guidelines that would help our country. Yesterday the French president enforced a curfew which is a great idea to keep the virus down. Folks, be like <PERSON> and the French president, wear your mask. Fun can come later.

<PERSON> Absolutely correct and I like the analogy of banning cars. But we don't ban them, we take measures to mitigate fatalities; speed limits, controls over using drugs and alcohol, millions on keeping road conditions safe and millions more on traffic management.
So yes, this virus is going to kill people, It could kill a LOT of people but it will kill a LOT MORE if we do not mitigate it. Ignore the guesses about mortality rates and do the simple math dead/dead&recovered. The number of cases IN PROGRESS is irrelevant until we have a result; either death or recovery. Getting the number of infected people at any given time down reduces the stress on the health systems and means more people will survive. Unlike the seasonal flu this virus will probably infect almost everyone eventually and the death rate is way way higher than the flu.
People under 20 have a low mortality, it increases significantly with age and the over 70s are most at risk.
Mortality rates for 40 to 50 year olds could be as high as 10%, especially if they are not in perfect health. Now guess how old politicians, business leaders and other movers and shakers are and see why they are concerned.
Finally, look at the exponential growth of both cases and deaths and give some thought as to why, unchecked, the deaths are not going to climb into the millions ?

@mike4vfr Masks DO HELP but nowhere near as much as other measures. Masks WILL NOT stop YOU getting the virus - which is mainly transmitted through touch - but it will help stop YOU from infecting surfaces that others will then touch.
Coughing and sneezing into a tissue (or your upper arm / elbow) will have almost as much effect as a mask.
The virus leaves an infected body in water droplets and these fairly quickly fall under the influence of gravity to the nearest surface. I wonder when the last time it was that you were sneezed on by someone or they coughed directly into your face? Right, it doesn't happen (or not often anyway).
Measures that are far more effective than a mask are:
Wash your hands regularly, especially after touching public surfaces.
Stay away from other people; 6 feet of separation allows any water borne droplets time to fall.
Stay in your own home as much as possible and avoid public gatherings.
Try to avoid touching your own eyes, nose, mouth - never mind anyone else.
To avoid contaminating surfaces, cough or sneeze into a tissue and immediately dispose of it in a bin. Use upper arm clothing if you do not have a tissue AND CHANGE / WASH your clothes.
Finally, don't listen to lots of rubbish being posted out on social media. There is no CURE (yet) so leave the masks and other protective clothing for those that really need it like health care workers and other care givers who have to be in close proximity to others.

It is time for the Republican senators and their supporters who threw away the nation's chance during impeachment to rid ourselves of <PERSON> to take their last best chance to save us from being overtly under dictatorial control. And the dictator will be <PERSON>, giving orders to the servile <PERSON>.
If a bipartisan commission such as <PERSON> urges could be impaneled with legal authority, <PERSON> cannot win the election. He is going down if the election is fair.
This is no time to placate Republican donors. This is no time for any government official to worry about holding their power. If <PERSON> wins again, the power shift away from even the most devoted Republicans is going to be profound. The two party system will be irrelevant and the United States constitution will be dead.

There is no doubt that critical thinking and the humanities are key components of undergraduate education. However, the spike in college tuition for the past generation has made it unethical for universities to allow their students to enter into 200K debt for the experience. Unless a humanities major student has a plan for a professional graduate school or career that can service this debt, majoring in the humanities should remain a luxury of those that can afford it. I think a lot of dissatisfaction among 20-30 y/o is the discrepancy between their seemingly elite university degree with no tangible marketplace value.

<PERSON> This is the point right here. I will never forget my introductory chemistry course at an Ivy League college. I was woefully underprepared by my local public high school compared to the students who had just graduated from Stuyvesant or Horace Mann and had already covered the course material extensively before college. Catching up to them required office hours and chasing down the TAs to answer my questions. As I went through the pre-med curriculum, fewer and fewer URMs were present in my classes. By the time we applied to medical schools, there were only a handful of students remaining. I cannot help but think they would have become physicians if the students were in a more supportive environment.

I have no problems with imposing on anyone who flies, drives, takes the train, bikes, walks, breathes the true cost of doing so. What I object to is this religious fervor to punish some people who, in this example, fly because some pundit believes his trip is frivolous or not needed or excessive. But of course, the pundit's periodic trip to some wonderful place for a conference extolling his virtue is necessary.

There are so many issues lying behind the college debt "crisis" it is hard to unpack what is a systemic issue, what is a personal issue, and what is the inevitable "not everybody is going to make it as well as others" issue. But I have come to believe a few things are true. The "crisis" exists for some individuals, not society as a whole, largely concentrated in people who borrowed for graduate school. If you borrowed to g to college, you should not expect someone else (i.e., your neighbor who pays taxes) to ride to your rescue. It was your choice then.
College does cost too much. But the solutions offered -- more government subsidies -- do not reduce the cost. They probably increase the cost and shift or hide who pays the cost. We have assumed that a four year degree at a residential college, without thought of the return on that investment, is the "right" educational model and also is a "right" that to which everyone is entitled, to be paid "by someone else." Which, of course, makes no sense. People without means and who are "college material" need support from the public purse to make it. No one else really does. And finally, we likely have too many college grads already. Do we really need more?

As I am a teenager myself, I'm very open with my mom whenever there is an issue or have a load of stress on me. I don't hesitate to ask her for advice when I'm lost in decisions. There is a trust that has always been there between us so I'm able to trust that she only wants whats best for me. As I'm the youngest, my mother has experienced many life lessons and is able to give me guidance in how she would handle situations. Although at times the advice becomes things I don't want to hear, I realize her advice is pushing me in the right directions to becoming a better student and overall person. The advice given is simply to provide a different point of view to get fresh input. It allows for mistakes to be made and lessons to be learned. There is a sense of being grateful for being able to rely on your parent with no judgement and with comfort.

It has been about a week and a half I've been at home due to corona virus outbreak causing schools to close. This outbreak affects me in which my education is now transferred to being online which is difficult as at times due to internet connection being weak. As well I am constantly having to refresh pages to ensure I don't miss any assignments whereas in school it was easy to keep track of each assignment per class as the day goes on. Although it has taken some adjustment I have been able to keep up with my work and am sure to ask for help if needed. As for physically it gets difficult to be in one area for a long while so every now and then I am walking around the house to get some sort activity as I am stuck to a computer most of the day.

I find all this speculation about the Latino vote in Texas terribly simplistic and frankly quite offensive. Machismo? Social conservatism? There are other issues at play than these essentialist rationales. Why don't we look at another large state that has a significant Mexican American population? California once had a strong Republican party, and many Mexican Americans were Republicans. But then <PERSON> became governor, and Proposition 187 was passed. The blatant racism behind the Republican governor's rhetoric, and the passing of Prop 187 in 1994, sealed his party's fate in the golden state. Somehow, being Catholic, and likely pro-life, and possibly machistas (as this crowd would have it) has not kept Latinos in California from voting for the Democratic Party. So rather than looking for character flaws or other facile explanations, look to the organizing, the politics. I have the sense that Texas has not yet had its Prop 187 moment.

His supporters seem to be the only group that consistently threaten to refuse to back whomever the Democrats nominate if it's not their man. This <PERSON>-like mentality must be addressed early and often by their candidate; anything less presages the same outcome of 2016, the elevation of someone utterly unfit for the office, the prevention of which must be the ultimate goal of every single person identifying as a Democrat.

Further proof that the feckless Republican party deserves to be—and is of the utmost priority—completely annihilated at the federal and state levels over the next two or three election cycles. Only after all traces of Trumpism and its direct antecedent, the Tea Party, have been wiped clean can a new Conservative-type party come back to the table for public consideration.

Will "the pressure to make the dream into reality ... l inexorably build?" Important question, and I think the answer depends on two more questions.
First, how is it that so many people have come to swallow the stolen election lie, to the point that roughly one-third of the adult population sincerely believes that our election failed and the losing candidate will be inaugurated on January 20?
Second, what kind of long-term reaction can be expected from the election-was-stolen crowd?
The first question is utterly crucial to the health of our democracy, but a satisfactory answer may never be found.
As to the latter question, put the shoe on the other foot. How would the never-Trumpers and other <PERSON> voters react if <PERSON> had successfully twisted the political-judicial machinery to stay in office for four more years?
Not well, that's how. It would make the civil unrest of the last several months look quite tame.
So hold tight everyone, its going to be a rough ride going forward.

For the past four years the media have given an obscene amount of attention to <PERSON>. NYT included. Granted, this often for the just cause of relentlessly countering and analysing his countless breaches of decency, ethics, diplomacy, etc. That's very honourable. We can't let that type of regression become normal and unchallenged.
But the media have focused far too much on the smoke. Not enough analysis of the underlying causes: why does such an incompetent, divisive and volatile president still enjoy that amount of support in 2020? How can so many conservative politician get away with defending plain lies, irresponsible choices, countless personal attacks, and very questionable governing methods? How can we prevent such a disastrous and dangerous presidency to happen ever again?
Many of those troubling and painfully fundamental questions have been very relevant since 2016 at least. Have we progress much in debating them honestly, delving into our principles and values or have we just looked in vein at the smoke? Blaming <PERSON> for Trumpism is lazy and misguided.
Did the media focus enough on positive, constructive and alternative models to Trumpism? Did they sufficiently promote other types of leadership and political visions rather than being trapped into a bland binary opposition or predictable daily outrage?

I find it completely baffling that a week after the antitrust hearings by the congress and the renewed debate about the growing dominance of Big Tech, we are now contemplating a highly successful media platform being served on a plate to Microsoft (itself caught multiple times by US & EU regulators for their anticompetitive practices and one of the most valuable companies in the world).
Do we really want a world where all the key digital platforms are owned by a handful of West Coast companies? Or do we want more diversity and send a signal to young entrepreneurs they can start their own, original and independent services and go big without having to eventually being gobbled, threatened or destroyed by the same old five companies?
By the way, Microsoft is not so uncool with younger audience. Xbox is yet another dominant gaming platform and MS has developed advanced recommender algorithms to match players for instance. The vast majority of gamers on Twitch use Windows because its the best for gaming experience.
Acting on a national security concern with user data being leaked to China is understandable. But the rest of the world is increasingly watching the big Five american companies (all with track records for privacy violations) with the same cynical eye as they do with Chinese brands.

Where I stand politically on the political spectrum is nowhere because I don't really care about politics. I think the reason I am this way is because I never saw how politics changed my life. It has always been the same no matter who was president so i never saw a need to care about politics. I haven't really been paying attention to the 2020 election so far and I probably won't at all. My views have been the same for as long as i was alive and i don't think they will change anytime in the future. I got my political views from myself because my parents never talked about it so i just didn't get into it. And i don't think it is something i want to get into because you're either on one of the two sides and people will hate you for choosing either one and most people don't want to have a discussion about it.

As a public high school global studies teacher in NY I see this shrinking world view in almost every American born student. The majority of our youth are myopic. They are well educated about US and NY history. Yet they are absolutely unaware of the rest of world. Fortunately our district has a diverse population with many first generation immigrants. These students provide contrast for my students. It starts here, in our schools and in our communities. We must teach the whole of history, our place in the global community and celebrate our good fortune for being Americans.

Well Said Mr. <PERSON>.
And even within the choice narrative there is further nuance. People make choices of the options they see available to them. By limiting their choices, we force them into an untenable situation. Suicide, witting or unwitting, is the response of those who have run out of choices and see no hope.
As a further, and maybe snarky aside, how many of those who made those nasty judgements still smoke tobacco, or drive too fast, or don't use seatbelts, or drive drunk. How many have made thoughtless comments and actions that harm someone.
