        Between fleeing Afghanistan, daily reenactments via covid, and a generation of young adults with no memory of 9/11, hopefully this is the year most people stop giving a fuck.

        Turn it into another binge drinking holiday -- take down a couple (beer) towers with some friends!

            A case race, but one team is going "to the ground" and the other team is going "to the Pentagon," and it's called Flight 93

          So many America centric holidays are inverse of how they should be. Thanksgiving is happy despite being about genocide, Christmas is just a holdover of the genocides done by Christianity against based pagans/cultural appropriation, Memorial Day is sad despite being about troops doing the only thing they’re good for and getting owned by a dude with an AK, ect.

          Using this logic it would just be another official sad day when we should actually be throwing firework-laden model airplanes at building shaped pinatas filled with action figures wearing suits that fall out after it catches on fire.

      We already did. The wave in January reached 4000 a day. It then went and stayed back down below 1000 a day since April.

      That's depressing. School is just starting starting so I don't see how this doesn't just get worse

    The US reports 650k deaths in less than 600 days.

    1000 a day is less than the running average since the first lockdown.

    I’m curious if and how this will affect voting demographics in those states.
