Yet another reason to move from a Republican-controlled US state to a Democrat-controlled one:

Living in a state with a Republican-controlled legislature is associated with higher death rates.

In fact, the more control the GQP has on a state, the more deadly it is.

New, open access research: Association Between Partisan Affiliation of State Governments and State Mortality Rates Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

"The resulting polarization in state responses to COVID-19, a disease that claimed lives within days or weeks of exposure, created a macabre natural experiment in which the association between partisan policy choices and mortality outcomes could be examined."

Controlling for income and some other health risk factors diminished the excess mortality association and will require additional research. However, other studies have found the same correlation between the "pro-life" party and higher death rates.

Here is the "Toshiba T1000" I ordred. And yes I will be making backups of all the disks via my #greaseweazle v4 and uploading to https://archive.org. I also plan to dump the BIOS for https://TheRetroWeb.com.

I haven't done anything with the T1000 as I plan on streaming its testing and hopefully repair here next week.

This dirt-sucker is leading the way to, not just intimidating victims, doctors, and patients, but making saying "abortion" and the very thought of it illegal.
Mark it. This will follow-through.
