   #COVID19 is over?

   Thus far in 2024, COVID has caused 300,520 hospitalizations and 32,048 deaths in the US.

   In SIX MONTHS, COVID has killed:

   More than twice the ANNUAL death toll from gun homicides.

   75% of the ANNUAL death toll in motor vehicle accidents.

   4x the number of US fatalities incurred during the decades-long war on terror.

   How is this anyone's definition of “over”?

   @RobeeShepherd @corbden I keep forgetting that the Spectrum never really made it to the US.

   In the near/middle east/swana/whatever, the MSX was the big 80s computer.

   In January 2022, the Fed owned 24% of residential mortgages.

   Meanwhile, a bunch of conservatives predicted that Blackrock would gobble up all real estate in the US.

   In reality, it's the US government that's been gobbling up real estate (the Fed is controlled by Congress).

   When residential foreclosures start ramping up, the Fed will ask Congress, "should we evict the people who can't pay anymore, or should we just let them live in government-owned houses for a while?"
