News of Day: August 4, 2021

1. Covid. Interesting data buried in the UK reports. The mortality rate from the delta variant for the unvaccinated is more than ten times lower than the mortality rate from the original Covid19. For the unvaccinated, the case fatality rate from the Delta variant is about 1 in 1000, and that includes the infirm and the health-vulnerable populations Covid continues to mostly impact. Of note, the vaccinated appeared to be less likely to get Covid, but of those that did, their mortality rate was actually higher than the unvaccinated in this data set. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1001358/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_18.pdf

2. Legal. The Canadian case that went viral does not appear to be what some thought it was. It appears a defendant fighting a covid-based fine served a subpoena on the government, but appears to have served it incorrectly. This led to a response of nothing to respond to, which the defendant misinterpreted as meaning no evidence existed that he had subpoenaed. The defendant then misinterpreted that to mean "the end" of all covid restrictions in the Alberta province. Unfortunately, it's likely just a case of a mis-served subpoena.

3. Economic. The infrastructure bill is trimmed down to less than Trump recommended. It includes about $550 billion in new spending, and that is spread out over 5 years; a $100B/year infrastructure spending will have little impact on a $23T economy. All the various Democratic goodies have been slowly and steadily stripped from the bill, as forecast by Baris & I. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/whats-really-inside-the-1-trillion-infrastructure-bill-heres-what-we-know-so-far/

4. Political. Even the left continues to concede Newsom's weakness, and the reasons for it -- the lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, and other public health strategies Newsom led with Cuomo over the last year. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/poll-finds-support-for-gavin-newsom-recall-increased-over-past-2-weeks-are-mask-mandates-to-blame/ar-AAMTlt8?pfr=1

5. Cultural. Hollywood's disconnect from its fan base continues to haunt its box office, as most of their big releases, especially from woke Disney, look to lose $, and some as much as $100M+. Lebron James, king of woke celebrities, will see a $100M+ loss for his version of Space Jam. https://ombreviews.com/box-office-tracking/

Bonus News: Cuomo caught red-handed, and his defense was showing photos of Bill Clinton & Joe Biden being handsy!

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

Nestled between the central asian borders of China and India, neighboring Tibet, the sweeping mountain-scapes of Nepal inspire art from amateurs and professionals alike for those that visited this war-torn, revolution-wrecked nation whose political troubles cannot mask the brilliant physical beauty of its mountain-shaped landscape. 

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Chasing angels or fleeing demons, go the mountains of Nepal, a land of many wonders and rich history.” Jeffrey Rasley.  

C. Cultural Recommendation

From monarchy to Maoism, the recent history of Nepal. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20601078-the-bullet-and-the-ballot-box?

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day: A portrait of the Vimana, a legendary flying chariot “like a bright cloud in the sky” described in ancient India texts, here carried by a great Dove. Graham Hancock & others think this allegorically refers to lost technology of lost civilizations.  

B. Wisdom of the Day: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Mahatma Gandhi.

C. Cultural Recommendation: A useful history of the India perspective — the history of the infamous East India Company. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42972023-the-anarchy

B. Art of the Day: In the spirit of Henri Cartirer-Bresson with its black-and-white imagery in the working class alleyways of Dublin where kids play without fear or safe spaces, the shadows dancing in opposite directions, that directional pull that brings me into photos of real life aesthetically and artistically expressed.  

C. Wisdom of the Day: “We’re fighting for Main Street, not Wall Street. We reject globalism and embrace patriotism.” Donald Trump. 

D. Cultural Recommendation: The Corporation, and its soulless character. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379225/?ref_=ls_t_4
