Michael Morse offers a gentle suggestion to his fellow emergency and healthcare professionals: It doesn’t matter how whoever it is ended up in our care. What matters is that we care for them. Nowhere in any literature pertaining to anybody in the health care hierarchy does judgement get mentioned. Not in EMS manuals, nursing curriculum…
Most likely, and good for them. Naturally, RI’s revenue analysis chief, Paul Dion, objects: Confiscatory taxation on productivity will have that effect. During the government-enforced economic shutdown, we’ve seen how politicians and bureaucrats prefer to operate: Rather than allow people to figure things out, they’d rather collect taxes and decide how and to whom to…
A new study (which appears to be out of Israel) confirms that natural immunity to the Delta variant of COVID-19 is even better than vaccine-driven immunity. Breakthrough infections are 13 times more likely with a vaccine, versus a recent infection. The number goes down only to 6 times for infections from longer ago. This study…

…then what do you call, for instance, the 200 or so Narragansett’s who helped wipe-out the Pequots at Mistick Fort? On May 23, a force of approximately 80 English (10 remained with the ships), 60 Mohegan and River Indians under Uncas, and 200 Narragansett marched 30 miles to present-day Mystic, Connecticut….Mistick Fort was engulfed in…
I keep seeing these headlines about RI General Treasurer Seth Magaziner announcing record highs for the pension fund, but shouldn’t that always be the case?
