America continues in decline, undershooting its potential by 13 million full-time jobs
Full-time employment in June 2021 in the US, not seasonally adjusted, was 48.7% of civilian noninstitutional population. The average level had been 50.4% in 2019, historically anemic. That's a deficit of 4.6 million full-time jobs in June 2021 compared with the 2019 average.
If you can imagine full-time employment at 53.6% of civilian noninstitutional population as in the year 2000, you are talking about 140 million with full-time jobs today instead of the actual 127 million. America continues in decline undershooting its potential by 13 million full-time.

LOL, Florida ranks 44th for daily new cases of coronavirus: What happened? Is everyone on vacation for five days in a row, or was the counting office in the condo collapse?
You don't go from reporting 1,800 cases a day, day after day, and suddenly have zero for five days in a row.

Batshit crazy Australia goes into lockdown over a coronavirus trickle
By comparison the US is experiencing a flood, but we're cutting loose even though new cases per million in the US registers a rate 30x worse than in Australia.

June 2021 to date is 2nd rainiest June ever in Grand Rapids, MI, and one of just 23 months since 1892 with 8 inches of rain or more, ranking 14th so far

Jun 1892: 13.22
Sep 1986: 11.85

May 2001: 10.01
Oct 2017: 9.69
May 2000: 9.59
Sep 2008: 9.54
Sep 1981: 9.52
May 2004: 9.29
Sep 1961: 9.15
Jul 1992: 8.83

Sep 1993: 8.20
Sep 1915: 8.11
Jul 1994: 8.07
Jun 2010: 8.04
Jun 1928: 8.03.
Among the 23 months with 8 inches of rain or more in Grand Rapids, MI, since 1892, June 24-26, 2021 stands out as one of just five 2-3 consecutive day rain events with 5.5 inches or more:

Sep 9-11, 1986: 6.43
Jun 24-26, 2021: 6.17
May 14-16, 2001: 5.97
Jul 5-7, 1994: 5.54.
74% of the 23 months with 8 inches of rain or more in GR occurred after 1960, consistent with the higher rainfall trend generally in the graph below.
The June 2021 event caused a run on portable submersible pumps needed by homeowners to evacuate pooling water in low areas and basements due to saturated ground. Flood warnings remain in effect for the area through Monday.
Even so, Grand Rapids is still running over 2 inches behind on mean rainfall year-to-date.
June 26, 2021 ranks 7th for daily maximum rainfall on a single day in June since 1892 at 2.81 inches.
The most rain ever to fall on a single day in Grand Rapids is 4.22 inches, occurring on June 5, 1905 and again on August 19, 1939. Those extreme events are associated with the hotter, dryer pre-1960 half of the graph.
Mean annual daily maximum precipitation in GR is 2.27 inches, with June ranking the highest month at 1.29, followed by September at 1.26.

COVID-19 trends in England in the last month are not encouraging despite being one of the top three or four countries in the world for vaccinations
Cases per million are up 560% since May 23.
Hospitalizations are up 64%. As a measure of severity of illness, this increase is damning for authorities everywhere who keep insisting that vaccinations will reduce severity.
Deaths per million, while still puny, are up 175%.
All this with 47% fully vaccinated, 64% with one dose.

Let's compare what happened to cases in India after vaccinating just 3.6% of its population against C19 with what happened in the US with just 3.6% vaccinated
TL;dr : The same thing.
India reached 3.6% fully vaccinated against C19 on about June 19th.
India's cases per million metric fell 83% from its May 8th peak to June 18th (from 283.5 to 48.07).
Vaccines had nothing to do with the drop.
The US reached 3.6% fully vaccinated against C19 way back on Feb 12th.
US peak cases per million occurred about a month before that, on about Jan 8th, at 758.56.
On Feb 12th cases per million had fallen to 293.61, or by 61%.
Vaccines had nothing to do with it.

John Kass, like most normie conservatives, suffers from Just You Wait Syndrome
Here:
Will there come a day when fed-up Americans push back against all this stuff? Yes.
How long have I been hearing that one? My whole life?
Normie conservatives like Kass are hope peddlers little different from the utopians of the left, little different from those Christians who keep falsely predicting the Second Coming of Christ, heralds all of a future which never comes, or of one which at best miserably disappoints.
From time to time the hope of the left does become reality, but incrementally and dimly reflective of the real thing, now pallid in appearance (the New Deal), now grotesque as the case may be (happy Birthing Person Day), while the hope of the right never so much as impedes this interminable process slouching leftward.
The normie right never asks itself why this is so, why conservatism is so impotent.
The answer is the left has a stronger faith than the right. It is why the left is in the streets burning the place down and the right just sits on its hands.
How different were the people of the American founding era, who saw no contradiction with their religion in taking up arms against an unbridled king. Today's conservatives are the loyalists of the founding era, hiding in their homes lest the unbridled find them out.
America today has been turned on its head. Secular faith has replaced religious faith. Down is Up, Left is Right, Evil is Good, Bondage is Freedom. America is the Crown of 1776, ripe for a counterrevolution.
Shall it be prevented?
Americans like Thomas Jefferson called for watering the tree of liberty from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
By their fruit ye shall know them.
