Dumb question but for some reason my search terms on Google don't get what I want. With the possibility that RFK might decide to "protect" us from ourselves can I, as a U.S. citizen, drive into Canada and then wander into a drug store and pay out-of-pocket for a vaccination? Again, can I just stroll into a pharmacy and use a credit card or cash to, say, buy myself a Covid vaccination. Please, I don't want to hear about health insurance or the National Health Care System or any of the other irrelevant blather I got when I tried getting a simple answer on Google. Yankee. In Canada. Self-preservation. Cash in hand. Thanks in advance.

My nomination for Democratic Vice President of the US: Liz Cheney. Yeah, I know she's a obnoxiously conservative republican, but I can't think of anybody who Trump hates more and, during the January 6 hearings, her courage and competence was outstanding. I think she could pull in plenty of republican conservatives who loathe Trump and also provide hope to rest of the non-MAGA-ette population that at least one party was willing to counter our national divisiveness.

Given the promises Trump has been making to punish his enemies I'd like to hear what he intends to do to E. Jean Carroll if he's returned to the Whitehouse. By over 75 million a-holes, if I'm allowed to betray my own opinion. C'Mon big boy, tell us how much fun you're gonna have beating up someone you've already traumatized. What a guy.

I've been looking at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and am noticing a rather serious rise in cases and deaths in Germany with smaller upticks in France and Italy. It looks to me like they are heading for case and death rates approaching about 1/3rd of what they were a year ago. Comparing last years graphs for Europe to those for the U.S. I think there is a case to be made that the U.S. death rate could go above 900 per day by the end of January.
