Willful ignorance is bad enough. When it kills you, that’s sort of your business. But when it takes a shot at killing the people around you, IMO, you deserved to be excoriated and sequestered. Not that our society will be able to do that.
What’s really going on with that cartoon is most NYer’s won’t be seen in one of those t-shirts. They are for the masses of tourists and many more who’ve never been to NYC and never plan to visit. Irony is at play.
A majority — 55% — of the public say they are pessimistic about the direction of the country, a marked change from the roughly one-third (36%) that said the same in an ABC News/Ipsos poll published May 2. In the early May survey, Americans were more optimistic than pessimistic by a 28-percentage point margin. Optimism is now under water by 10 points. Looking ahead to the next 12 months, fewer than half — 45% — now report feeling optimistic about the way things are going, a significant drop from about two-thirds (64%) in the May poll.
The decline in optimism has occurred across the board among Democrats, Republicans and independents. Optimism is down about 20 points among Democrats and Republicans and down 26 points among independents. Among Democrats, about 7 in 10 (71%) now say they are optimistic about the direction of the country over the next 12 months. That’s much lower than the near universal (93%) approval from Democrats on Biden’s handling of the pandemic. In politics today, partisans usually are more unified in their support or opposition to particular issues or people.
The optimism-pessimism flip comes as Americans give Biden his lowest approval rating for his handling of the pandemic yet in ABC News/Ipsos polling. A little over 6 in 10 (63%) approve of the president’s response to the coronavirus, according to the poll, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
As of this weekend, 41 percent of New York City residents were not vaccinated. Trump won 22 percent of the vote in NYC. In Chicago, 43 percent of residents are not vaccinated. Trump carried 24 percent of the vote in Cook County.

To all anti-vaxers: don’t come whining to the hospital when you’ve had ample opportunity to be vaccinated. Stand by what you believe….
