It's not about being liberal or conservative anymore y'all. That is a hype offered by the fascist whores who want to confuse the people with lies while they turn this country into an aristocratic police state. Some people will say anything to attain power and money. There is no such thing as the Liberal Media, but the Corporate media is very real.

Why are the current city garbage cans a problem ???

The city of San Francisco has a garbage can problem and is currently deciding on another roll-out of public garbage cans. The last round of city garbage cans occurred in the middle of the 1990's. The news media will likely implicate the city because the prototypes are $20,000 each, but the problem isn't a simple trope about high cost city infrastructure.

Here's a view from local KPIX CBS news:





As you can see from the above pictures, the current garbage cans are regularly invaded by homeless who pull out all the garbage and throw it on the street. To attempt a solution for this problem, the city attempted a contract with special wifi-connected garbage cans in the districts that are largely affected by the garbage issues (like the Tenderloin and SOMA) called "Bigbelly" that are service/subscription based ( $1,800 per year for each wifi-enabled garbage can).

But ... The Bigbelly cans are being removed from the Castro district

[SOURCE: hoodline | 5 May 2020]



In fact, you should go do a google search on "sf city trash bigbelly" and read about the brief history of bigbelly wifi-connected garbage cans in the city of San Francisco.

So now the city is looking into buying cans that address the issue of garbage, wifi-connection, and manageable integration with the city waste/garbage collection system. The initial prototypes are expensive, but the goal is to choose the cans and then mass produce them, which city officials have said they expect to be less than $5000 per can.

This ain't over yet

Florida is having another wave




The number of new cases statewide -- 23,697 -- was nearly double that of the previous week. That’s the highest number of cases in one week since mid-May when the rate was dropping off the astronomical peaks hit in January. The 7.8% positivity rate of coronavirus tests in the week ending July 8 was also up significantly...

Jacksonville had 2,127 new cases in seven days and reported a 15.7% positivity rate on testing. Duval County has not seen more than 2,000 new COVID-19 in one week since February.


[SOURCE: Steve Patrick, Joy Purdy | news4jax.com | 10 July 2021]

The variant is starting a small wave out here in San Francisco too. The positivity rate was below 1% since March 2021. Today, 15 July 2021, the positivity rate just crosssed 2%.





[SOURCE: san francisco department of public health ]

The positivity rate is a proxy indicator on how the disease is spreading. The access of tests and the positive rate of those who seek access of tests are BOTH good indications of the spread -- since people who are sick or have been related to those who get sick are ALSO highly likely to be motivated to seek tests. When people are concerned about cost or are asymptomatic, that decreases the numbers of those who seek tests, however the increase in positivity of those who do seek tests is a correlative assessment, a proxy for how many cases are going undetected. 5% is the threshold that experts see for the sign of a need to do more testing. Having a track and trace system of testing in place eliminates this blind spot. Which is why an increase in the percentage of positive results out of those tested can be an indication of the increase in the viral spread.

In San Francisco, the seven day average of daily positive cases was between 11 and 14 from 1 June 2021 until 26 June 2021. The state and city loosened restrictions on 15 June 2021. On 27 June 2021, the 7 day average of daily positive cases became 15. Since then the average has been going up -- 20, 27, 34, 35, 42. We have high rates of vaccination and people who respect the need to wear masks, but ...

Fingers crossed.

Advice from Blaise Pascal


When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show another that he errs, we must notice from what side he views the matter, for on that side it is usually true, and admit that truth to him, but reveal to him the side on which it is false. He is satisfied with that, for he sees that he was not mistaken, and that he only failed to see all sides. Now, no one is offended at not seeing everything; but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.

People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come into the mind of others.

1501 posts

1501 posts.

I've been blogging since 2001. I have my moments where I am prolific, and moments when I check out.

I know that 1501 is not 2000, but 500 posts will happen at some point.

Will that be this year, or 2 years from now? More difficult truths have been analyzed by the best minds indeed.

:-)

Lies versus Truth

Bryan Tyler Cohen is a gem. Here he shows us how the Right wing media is all about creating nuanced controversy. Btw Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki is the fucking bomb. Girl don't take no shit, and casually makes your stupid bullshit look like stupid bullshit.

You go girl.
