weeks. What did Omicron do? Omicron is so spready it took what would have been a longer pandemic and compressed it into two weeks. Israel is almost done. They're almost done. That the high spike in all likelihood is going to go up up up up up up up bam right to the ground. In all likelihood that is going to drop like a rock in about a week because the R is approaching one and they've been tracking that the whole time as it drops.

Now their hospitals are still doing okay. They did not impose economic any restrictions. So Israel may have, don't know yet it's too early to say. So if you say it's too early I agree with you. But they are on the verge of maybe nailing this thing like nobody nailed it. Or the vaccinations don't work. We'll know in about a week.

So in a week or so if you don't see that that curve just drops straight down because everything just got compressed that's what it should do. But if that doesn't happen well then Israel just made all the wrong decisions or at least this one was wrong right? Would you agree with my setup that if Israel didn't lock down so they didn't have an economic hit, they didn't crash their hospitals, they compressed their entire pandemic into two weeks, said let's just take it now get it over with boom boom. If they get on the other side of this in two weeks they win. They won. Would you agree with me?

Now of course that still doesn't count to be fair any long-term effect of being vaccinated itself. But ah man this is the most exciting part of the pandemic. Israel may have done it. Now I would if you want to see more on that argument I would refer you to a David Boxenhorn tweet thread that shows you the data that backs up what I just said. So look for David Boxenhorn who's also a really good follow by the way. He's got lots of good stuff on Twitter. You can find him in my Twitter thread from yesterday I think.

Justice Breyer looks like he's going to retire so it'll be opening in the Supreme Court. How much does it suck for Biden that all he gets to do is replace a liberal? You know there's no accounting for luck. So Trump gets to be president you know when he can change the nature of the court. It looks like Biden will get to be president when he can basically break even. Just break even.

I said I'll tell you what. Here's a good reason you don't want me to be president. If I were president I would advocate adding one justice so it's 10 and balancing them liberal and conservative. So if there were too many conservatives I'd add a liberal and try to balance them five and five. Now I wouldn't require it of anybody else but that would be what I'd do. I'd balance it.

And here's why. If you can't get one person from the other side to side with you maybe you shouldn't do it. Maybe you shouldn't do it. If you can't get one person to side with you yeah maybe you shouldn't do it. Now I get that that would not give conservatives as much as they want. I get that. Yeah no it's a bad take if you prefer a Republican agenda.

Here's the backing of it. In all things I would back the system over the decision right. So let me explain that. As president hypothetically, I wouldn't want to be president but as president I would always back the system over the specific decision. That's what Kyrsten Sinema just did. So Senator Sinema decided to back the system by not getting rid of the what do you call it the thing where they talk too much. So backing the system, the filibuster. Thank you. So Senator Sinema backed the system over the decision and she actually wanted the decision to go that way. She actually voted against her own preference to protect the system.

I think the Supreme Court's credibility is lower than it should be for our healthy system and I would vote for keeping the health of the system over the specific decision. But I would also totally respect someone who just wants the right decisions. There's nothing crazy about that. Nothing crazy about wanting good decisions that you know agree wit
