    Has both. I dunno. If the doo rides better it’s not drastic. I’d say the Mach is probably the best handling 4 stroke I’ve drove. Although it bottoms out too easy 

    There must be an issue with this mach. I haven’t bottomed my 850 and I ride it on the comfort setting most of the time. I ride the shoulder a lot and launch off snow banks. Three weeks ago I dropped ten feet off of drop off it didn’t bottom.

    The mach has no top end. The 900r are better.

    Mach is low on rpm. 

    I’m seeing mixed results on the mach. Some are screemers some are turds. But here’s the deal the Skidoo rides better than anything Cat yamaha or Polaris produces and I’ve owned and ridden them all. The fit finish on the Doo is like a BMW. The accessories you can add from Doo are top notch as well
     

    if all I cared about was going fast I’d have an SRX.

    Next sled will probably be a cat again. The more I ride this sled the less excited I am about it. Very average machine.  Not worth the money 

    My 2022 with Smart Shocks is sick. What Cat are you buying? If Yamaha Built an 850 for Cat I'd buy one

  4. Quadruple-Vaxed Israel Breaks World Record in Coronavirus Cases

    In yet another pandemic-related first, Israel is now the number one country in the world for new coronavirus infections per capita, with a daily rate of 0.6  percent of the population testing positive.

    Israel has seen lead the world in many pandemic-related aspects. It was the first country to close its borders when the outbreak began in March 2020. A year later, it became the first country to aggressively inoculate its population with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

     

    It became the first country to introduce a booster shot as well as the first to introduce a fourth job of the vaccine to over 60s and at-risk populations. It’s now expected to be the first country to begin administering booster shots to children over the age of five.

    Israel also adopted the world’s most aggressive approach to stop Omicron. Despite this, numbers have soared so high that the Health Ministry’s dashboard crashed, with the ministry stopping the count altogether.

    According to statistics from Our World in Data, 0.6 percent of the population was testing positive per day. But Prof. Eran Segal, a leading health expert and adviser to the Israeli government, notes that the dubious distinction of being first in the rate of infections might also be due to the high volume of tests performed each day.

    Eran went on to say that Israel is almost at the peak of the current wave, the country’s fifth, and that numbers are expected to decline in a week or so.

    “During the coming week we will start to see a decrease in the number of infections. We have already seen a decrease in infections in people over 60. This week we will reach 50,000 or 40,000 cases a day,” Segal told Channel 12 news.

    Beginning Thursday, the country will scrap quarantine for children exposed to coronavirus carriers. Those who test positive will still be required to isolate for a minimum of five days.

    The number of seriously ill patients rose to 732 over the weekend. 68 Israelis died from coronavirus in the past week, bringing the death toll to 8,393.

    Packers fan here ... although I'm not one of THOSE Packer fans (the homer type).  The end results, with the Packers losing, isn't a complete surprise .. although I would have expected the loss to be more of a result of a shitty defense (and that wasn't the case).  Special teams play cost them, ultimately, and that's been an issue for them all season long.  Mr. MVP ... love him or hate him ... sure laid a big fat egg, and I'll put just as much blame on him as I would the special teams.  One thing's for certain, Lambeau field has turned into homefield advantage for opponents over the course of the past 20 years.

    Give credit where credit is due, San Francisco showed up to play & won with freaking Jimmy Garoppolo :lol:

    Not that I care who does what at this point, I will say that I would enjoy seeing a Rams vs. Cincy superbowl

    I don’t blame Rodgers they were pretty vanilla on offense. San Fran has a good defense

    Neoliberal capitalism is an auth right ideology, shared by both parties.

    This doesn’t sound like either party lol 😂 

     

    Neoliberalism

    Neoliberalism is a policy model that encompasses both politics and economics and seeks to transfer the control of economic factors from the public sector to the private sector. Many neoliberalism policies enhance the workings of free market capitalism and attempt to place limits on government spending, government regulation, and public ownership.

    Neoliberalism is often associated with the leadership of Margaret Thatcher–the prime minister of the U.K. from 1979 to 1990 and leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990–and Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the U.S. (from 1981 to 1989). More recently, neoliberalism has been associated with policies of austerity and attempts to cut government spending on social programs.

    Key Takeaways

    • The policies of neoliberalism typically supports fiscal austerity, deregulation, free trade, privatization, and a reduction in government spending.
    • Neoliberalism is often associated with the economic policies of Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan in the United States.
    • There are many criticisms of neoliberalism, including its tendency to endanger democracy, workers’ rights, and sovereign nations’ right to self-determination.

    Understanding Neoliberalism 

    Neoliberalism is related to laissez-faire economics, a school of thought that prescribes a minimal amount of government interference into the economic issues of individuals and society. Laissez-faire economics proposes that continued economic growth will lead to technological innovation, expansion of the free market, and limited state interference.

    Neoliberalism is sometimes confused with libertarianism. However, neoliberals typically advocate for more government intervention into the economy and society than libertarianism. For example, while neoliberals usually favor progressive taxation, libertarians often eschew this stance in favor of schemes like a flat tax rate for all taxpayers.

    In addition, neoliberals often do not oppose measures such as bailouts of major industries, which are anathema to libertarians.

    Liberalism vs. Neoliberalism 

    At its core, liberalism is a broad political philosophy; it holds liberty to a high standard and defines all social, economic, and political aspects of society, including–but not limited to–the role of government. The policies of neoliberalism, on the other hand, are more narrowly focused. They are primarily concerned with markets and the policies and measures that influence the economy.

    Criticism of Neoliberalism 

    There are many criticisms of neoliberalism.

    Free Market Approach to Public Services Is Misguided 

    One common criticism of neoliberalism is that advocating for a free market approach in areas such as health and education is misguided because these services are public services. Public services are not subject to the same profit motivation as other industries. More importantly, adopting a free market approach in the areas of health and education can lead to an increase in inequality and the underfunding of resources (health and education) that are necessary for the long-term health and viability of an economy.

    Monopolies 

    The adoption of neoliberal policies in the Western world has been concurrent with a rise in inequality in both wealth and income. While skilled workers may be in a position to command higher wages, low-skilled workers are more likely to see stagnant wages.

    Policies associated with neoliberalism tend to encourage the presence of monopolies, which increase the profits of corporations at the expense of any benefits to consumers.

    Increased Financial Instability 

    Contrary to what proponents of neoliberalism typically claim, capital deregulation has not necessarily helped economic development. Rather, capital deregulation has led to an increase in financial instability including wider economic shocks that, at times, have sent shockwaves around the world.

    In fact, an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report into neoliberalism reveals that an increase in capital flows has been a factor in the increased risk of adverse economic cycles.1

    Inequality 

    Neoliberal policies have been proven to increase inequality.1 And this inequality can hinder the long-term growth prospects of an economy. On one end of the spectrum, those who earn a low income have limited spending power. At the same time, those who become richer have a higher propensity to save; in this scenario, wealth doesn't trickle down in the way that proponents of neoliberalism claim that it will.

    Globalization 

    Finally, neoliberalism's emphasis on economic efficiency has encouraged globalization, which opponents see as depriving sovereign nations of the right to self-determination. Neoliberalism's naysayers also say that its call to replace government-owned corporations with private ones can reduce efficiency: While privatization may increase productivity, they assert, the improvement may not be sustainable because of the world’s limited geographical space. In addition, those opposed to neoliberalism add that it is anti-democratic, can lead to exploitation and social injustice, and may criminalize poverty.
