Rogan has honest curiosity, and White has proven he can actually build and run something unique. They can both communicate. Both are pragmatists. Neither are beholden to any partisan zealots.
Neither would consider taking the job because it's such a step down, which kind of makes my point.

Rogan's curiousity is probably honest. It is certainly broad as I perceive him to try and get a variety of guest opinions.
My problem with him is that he is often out of his depth. I no longer have the patience to sit through two hours hoping he'll ask the tough question.

The POTUS election is 2024, most candidates announce 12-15 months before the election.
Expecting someone to announce now is silly. Even Trump, whose ego will demand he runs, has not yet announced he's running. For lots of reasons, it will be late summer 2023 before we see the first major contender.

True. The fastest way to become the victim of violence is to harm (or promise to harm) children. Suggesting children be taken from political opponents is a declaration of war.

What America Lost by Delaying the Vaccine Rollout
In September 2020, regulators asked for extra safety data on the new mRNA vaccines. The human cost of that request is far from clear.
What America Lost by Delaying the Vaccine Rollout
In September 2020, regulators asked for extra safety data on the new mRNA vaccines. The human cost of that request is far from clear.
Quote:
The first COVID-19 vaccine could arrive before Election Day, Donald Trump avowed in the summer of 2020. But government regulators wanted things to work out differently: "The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics," he wrote on Twitter. "Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd."
Quote:
Regulators did, in fact, end up slowing the process: In the first week of September, the FDA told vaccine makers to extend their clinical trials by several weeks beyond what they'd planned, in order to gather more safety data. That effectively postponed Pfizer's request for an emergency use authorization of the mRNA vaccine it had developed with BioNTech until after the election. The agency had been under attack from both sides: The president had wanted regulators to move more quickly, while an alarmed public-health community was pushing for the opposite. In the end, the decision to slow things down was meant to bolster the country's waning confidence in the forthcoming COVID-19 vaccines and restore the FDA's reputation for integrity and caution. But the move looks very different in hindsight, with full knowledge of the safety and efficacy of the vaccines and of the body count that amassed shortly after. The economist Garett Jones recently opined that Trump's scuttled hopes to release a COVID-19 vaccine a few weeks earlier "likely would have saved at least 100,000 American lives."
Quote:
Could Jones be correct about the human scale of this decision? His colleague at George Mason University, the libertarian economist and blogger Alex Tabarrok, often writes about the "invisible graveyard": the final resting place for all those killed by the FDA's bureaucratic foot-dragging. Indeed, one of the more painful lessons we've learned about governance during this pandemic is that waiting for more data can be a leading cause of death. But just how deadly was the government's choice to slow down Pfizer's and Moderna's research in the fall of 2020?

Democrat leaders don’t mask up unless on TV, don’t abide by rules.
I assumed Democrat voters were also in on the scam.
They legit believe it tho.
I’ve had to update my mental model of Democrats.
They are head cases.
I knew all along they bought into it because I've been around a lot of lefties and democrats. Most of my generation are lefties and they buy into insane half truths. They have no idea how anything actually works and they look to consensus and authority for answers instead of absolute truth. They're scared to go against the status quo and it prevents them from questioning anything.
