Coast Guard? That’s the only military I see IN Seattle (Puget Sound).

In NW Washington there’s Army & AF (Joint Base Lewis-McChord) and Navy (Whidbey Island, Everett, Kitsap)..
Yes

And all this bullshit about the federal response being slow to the tragedy in Texas is just that

Chuckles Schumer is a little clueless punk

“The crew of a Coast Guard MH-65E Dolphin helicopter from Air Station Corpus Christi braved what rescue swimmer Scott Ruskan described as “some of the worst flying conditions we’ve been in.” Despite the dangerous weather, Ruskan was deployed to the ground, where he triaged survivors and coordinated helicopter rescues with multiple agencies. His efforts helped evacuate more than 200 people to higher levels of care.”

Which follow up post on which thread?

Here…I’ll clarify: Boobcat sarcastically said I should be an economist. I sarcastically replied, I am.

You know fully well I’m a retired PGA Professional with a degree in Rec Mgmt from the prestigious Harvard of the Palouse.

I’ll let you try and piece it all together from here.

43 years ago. Florida should almost be under water by now.

More importantly, listen to how they were saying that they were so close to getting the answers, but damn money cuts will now prevent that.

Everything is better with SeattleGriz

You’re arguing the hysteria caused by pandemic induced disruption of normal life. I’m arguing about spread of disease and mortality.

Two different things.

Yes…the pandemic caused it. Around the world even. And yes, mistakes were made. Including by Trump. :lol:

The only debate is risk aversion and the tolerance for lives lost.

But that’s as far as I’m willing to re-litigate a topic that’s full of misinformation.

Yep. The left doesn’t get it. No accountability for people who lied about the
-efficacy of the shot,
-about the shot being superior to natural immunity
-about the effectiveness of masks
-about the origins of the virus
-US funding of it
Who needlessly pushed:
-for lockdowns
-for school closures
-for children to the the shot
-for people to be fired and ostracized from society who didn‘t get an experimental shot

Have never been held accountable, and tens of millions, esp young people who had part of their youth robbed, and who are still facing the consequences of disasterous decision making, are still pissed off about it.
