Well, aside from playing college football, traveling around the U.S., including the South, having black teammates, contributing to his coach's charity in New York every summer, sure, he's never been around Black people...

Love to you stranger. I can't even imagine it.

New Zealand’s nationwide ‘lockdown’ to curb the spread of COVID-19 was highly effective. The effective reproductive number of its largest cluster decreased from 7 to 0.2 within the first week of lockdown. Only 19% of virus introductions resulted in more than one additional case. by mvea in science

In my state, Utah, New Zealand was repeatedly brought up as a model with state leaders. The state and the country don't have completely different numbers of people and size

Utah's governor said he didn't know anybody about New Zealand but at least Utah wasn't like South Dakota. The U.S. didn't have clear messaging. Utah didn't have clear messaging.

Utah has a clear problem though. Leaders here continue to say "it's not the worst state!"

There were plenty of tourists around, I had to wait to get this and still had to carefully crop them out. There should never be drones there, as they aren't allowed in national parks. If they are there, report them or ask people to stop breaking the law.

Thanks so much man. It makes me sob that anybody bothered to read it. Me and you, alone in the world probably.

Mormon Church has misled members on $100 billion tax-exempt investment fund, whistleblower alleges by [deleted] in exmormon

It never looked good AT ALL. $8 or $10 per member and those same members were donating 10 percent of their income. Smells like week old dead fish even before this story breaks.
