We are discussing budgets for current and past years under President Trump are we not? While it is true that Trump consistently starts a negotiation from a position of strength, the budgets for the CDC have ultimately increased as passed by congress and signed By President Trump. Funding for 2021 is not relevant in this discussion.

Yeah, but what does it look like compared to Bush or Clinton?

One of many rules of three.

3am
300lbs
3 flights of stairs no elevator

That goes with the following

3 cardiac arrests in a shift
3 bad traumas in a row
3 long distance transfers in a riw
3 easy shifts followed by 3 shifts from hell

it’s science really...

I swear by the rule of three also, at the FD, when busy we'll get 3 "real calls" in a row followed by a break, 3 house fires in a row in a given 3 week period, so on and so on. And when its quiet for 3 straight days, be worried, cause the real calls are about to start up.

Don't bother. Correction noted, though budgets are made by Congress, not presidents. This is not on the Covid-19 topic. Save future chatter for an economics or political forum.

Censorship noted. Will do. Thanks
 
More on topic. .....Covid-19 may linger in the testicles of men (obviously). This is crazy!
 
Nan is working from home behind me. She's on hold with the bank.

I really hope there is a special place in hell for the people that pick out the on-hold music.

I just said that to Nan.

"That they have to listen to it all the time?" :)

And that is absolutely on topic. It a shame our focus got shifted to multiple pointless and unwinnable wars and this got put on the back burner. Only to be almost completely cut from the budget eventually. If we had followed through things could have played out differently.

Not sure why I was quoted in that post though

I rebut a statement of a mod with facts and then get "ya buts" about things from 25 years ago. I was sarcastic about researching that. Wasn't going to.

That is false. I'm sure my reply is off topic.

Meh... getting a little warm in here, guys?

We all have our political differences, and the current situation is certainly tied to them in many ways, but there's no reason we can't discuss one without bickering about the other.

Good find on the bush vid, @blades.

You should see us folks on the OBX forum, OBXconnection. Lots of nasty comments for a while. Some of us just gave up.

I pushed bact to the "virus was developed by the Chinese military and was released intentionally to kill a portion of their population."

I posted a link to the recent Nature article on the virus.

Now I have been branded a China-lover by someone over there.

CDC is not off-limits, no one said it was. But a page of discussion for a simple rebuttal was enough.

Was on my phone then, and didnt realize you were talking about the video? I missed that. I thought you were saying the CDC went unfunded. Bush sure called it.

Ok then. Just a misunderstanding no big deal.
