Increasing all wages (while good!) will not help people afford housing in supply-constrained states like California because it’ll inflate housing prices. If you want workers who can afford housing, rather than landlords who capture wage increases, we need more homes too.

There is no right to remain a breeding ground for dangerous coronavirus variants or a threat to small number still susceptible to breakthrough infections. We’re near the point when we must stop catering to those bent on endangering themselves and others. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Having a bunch of "keep the windows open" weather likely makes a big difference. Texas won't be having that sort of weather in June.

The U.S. death rate in 2020 was the highest above normal ever recorded in the country — surpassing the 1918 flu pandemic.

Yeah, that email is what prompted this tweet.
That said, vax.sccgov.org/ has appointments across multiple sites available on Monday or any weekday following, although some sites are already booked on Monday morning through as late as 10:30am. (Sunday too for Levi's.)
