Seems a little–maybe more than a little–unfair to say that nothing has changed except the polling and politics. Of course something has changed–Omicron is receding, and voters can read the charts. That has to be reason #1 why continuing the restrictions is becoming untenable. https://t.co/0FIEsuYo8B

Those who deny it’s a meritocracy seem to be focused on the hiring decison–and hiring is crucially important in a civil-service style economy where nobody gets fired. But the NFL is not that economy.

NFl coaching seems like a “true”meritocracy to me–in the sense of rewarding performance, not credentials,–because If you keep losing you get fired. One reason owners may be reluctiant to hire black coaches may be a fear that they’ll be hard to fire even if they lose, no? https://t.co/5Rhze7WsHF

How much damage can this 13% do? Anti-unvaxxed rage seems way out of proportion to the threat. Obvious take: Gives idle anti-Trumpers a cause (since Biden’s been a bit of a flop). https://t.co/LjYXHZOukk

You’re right, for adults the unvaxxed percent isn’t 15%. It’s now less than 13%, per CDC:

“For people ages 18 years or older, 87.1% have received at least one dose of vaccine and 74.2% are fully vaccinated”

This doesn’t seem like a “reset.” Or a “pivot.” It seems like full-steam ahead on letting migrants in. (You get to live & work in US while waiting for case to be heard –“almost three years” on average. Even if you then lose you’ll likely be able to stay) https://t.co/eIHgBjL1C4
