>The whining was pathetic and selfish then and now I'm not even sure I know if there are adjectives that can describe what it's like to still complain about this?

We have spent years waiting for the end of the public health emergency so we can go into crunch time. May 11.

> A) You have 30 days from moving to change your registration

And? So if you forgot, and wanted to go get RI plates to not be targeted, you could just go to the DMV and get the process done like normal?

> B) How common do you really think that was? In a state with a million people, I doubt that even 100 people fit that criteria.

If you say so.

>it's bad enough that you wouldn't shut the fuck up

True. We're pretty militant and active everywhere, we're stripping public health of any powers it once had.

We're getting quite good results actually 😊😊

Someone asked at a press conference about RI targeting NY plates.

This was Cuomo's response.

The campaign of the cops with the national guard driving around house to house looking for NY plates was immediately ended, and the checkpoints were expanded to all out of state plates.

This made it inconvenient mostly for people who lived out of state but worked in Rhode Island. They were given a permission slip, but still had to go through the checkpoints and were liable to get pulled over.

>The door to door thing was plan B IIRC. And it was a stupid thing to get mad about.

That's one opinion to have.

Fuck anyone moved to RI 4 months before the pandemic with a 1997 honda civic and still had NY plates? Or anyone who left New York to go live with a relative in RI?

You seriously think this only affected people with big ass waterfront mansions?

>Between 2019 and 2021, non-Latino whites lost 2 years on average, while non-Latino Blacks lost 3.5 years and Latinos lost 3.7 years of life expectancy.

Nobody is saying that the discrepancy can be mainly explained by differing covid rates/severity. It was the lockdown policies.

But yeah fuck those rich out of staters.
