Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

He has been forced out of “60 Minutes” by the insatiable greed of Shari Redstone, who has demanded that Bill Owens bend the knee to Donald Trump.
Bill Owens did not bend the knee.
Bill Owens took a stand.

It must have been in mainstream media somewhere because I remember the outrage that ‘blue states’ couldn’t get ventilators or PPE in the same way ‘red states’ received it. The governors of blue states had to do some type of favor for tfg if they wanted supplies to keep people alive. It was worse every day for people like me (seniors) to go out in public. I spent all day, every day in my 350 square foot apartment. It seemed that seniors were considered expendable by the administration.
Here our governor and state legislature a imposed "herd immunity" cure. The Florida Department of Health had commenced an inquiry into the state’s reporting of COVID-19 deaths, after DeSantis asserted that the official reports overstate the number of deaths. According to the report, DeSantis and members of his staff repeatedly questioned the accuracy of the COVID-19 death rates, with his press secretary Fred Piccolo Jr. tweeting: "we can tell you definitively that Florida is counting deaths that were not directly caused by COVID-19.” Mr. Piccolo has also sought to downplay the COVID-19 pandemic in other ways. On one occasion, he erroneously tweeted: “we had one COVID death in Florida yesterday . . yes you read that right. One.” In fact, on the day in question, there were 47 deaths.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and other independent public health experts suggest that Florida’s total death toll from the pandemic is actually understated. Experts noted that Governor DeSantis’ administration has used a COVID-19 infection rate that gives “more weight to negative test” results, and thus skews the results. Governor DeSantis has used the skewed rate to justify reopening schools and businesses. In response to criticism, Mr. Piccolo denied that Governor was attempting to question the official death toll, stating “[n]o one in the administration is trying to cast doubt on the number of COVID deaths, we are trying to get to the facts.”climate.law.columbia.ed…
We had (and still have) an antivax policy. "An analysis completed by KFF in early 2022 estimated that 234,000 of the deaths from covid-19 to that point might have been prevented had the deceased been vaccinated. Thousands of people are still dying from covid-19 each month, but the ratio between infections and deaths has plummeted since vaccines became widely available, in part because of changes to the dominant strains that are circulating. By contrast, there is no evidence the vaccines pose a significant, widespread danger." washingtonpost.com/poli…
He's still at it.
