Canada relies on the United States for much of it’s defense, just like most other “western” countries. Why would you need to spend money on aircraft carriers when your neighbor spends more on defense then the next ten countries combined?

So if we're neighbours and you have premium fibre internet and I'm stealing your wifi, am I winning or are you winning? I'm confused here.

Starr County once went about three weeks without a COVID-19 case at the beginning of the pandemic. It banned large gatherings, tested hundreds of residents a day, issued stay-at-home orders and required face masks — many of the same mandates now commonplace across the U.S. The poor and mostly Latino county on the Mexico border was containing COVID-19.

In April, its aggressive and successful approach to beating the coronavirus was spotlighted by NBC News.

“We are very proud at this point that our numbers are very low, considering we are an at-risk population and the disparity in medical services and our low socio-economic population,” Joel Villareal, mayor of county seat Rio Grande City, told NBC News. “We rank as one of the poorest counties in the nation. However, that does not deter us.”

But after Gov. Greg? Abbott issued orders for the reopening of the state, overriding local control and decision-making, COVID-19 cases surged.

Now Starr County is at a dangerous “tipping point,” reporting an alarming number of new cases each day, data show. Starr County Memorial Hospital — the county’s only hospital — is overflowing with COVID-19 patients.

The county has been forced to form what is being compared to a so-called “death panel.” A county health board – which governs Starr Memorial – is set to authorize critical care guidelines Thursday that will help medical workers determine ways to allocate scarce medical resources on patients with the best chance to survive.

A committee will deem which COVID-19 patients are likely to die and send them home with family, Jose Vasquez, the county health authority, said during a news conference Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, Starr County Memorial Hospital has limited resources and our doctors are going to have to decide who receives treatment, and who is sent home to die surrounded by their loved ones,” Vera said in a Wednesday news release. “This is what we did not want our community to experience.”

I'm sure these approaching tropical storms will have no impact of this region and the morgue trucks sitting around.

No need for FEMA or DHS or anyone to be proactive, things will just disappear.

finally, the fabled Obamacare death panels reveal themselves

Maybe the death panel's crosshairs will find Sarah Palin.

Seriously though,
are they not setting up a pop-up hospital in Starr County? Shit...

Republicans can’t agree with each other on how to best scale back benefits as Americans miss rent payments and the economy contracts

Part of the hangup stems from a push by administration officials and GOP lawmakers to cut - but not completely eliminate - a $600 weekly payment of enhanced federal unemployment benefits. The White House and GOP are not in agreement about how to do this and talks remain highly contentious. They are hoping to release a proposal early next week.
