It looks like Trumpy has handed over the Senate to the Democrats.

I'm not. I fucking HATE it when one party controls the House, Senate, and Presidency. Last time was O'bammy from '09 to '11, what did we get for that? Obamacare. Fucking recipe for disaster no matter which party it in. But it is what it is. We're fat, stupid, and diseased and deserve whatever happens to us. Well, some of us do. I'll be back in eSwatini just as soon as we can get vaccinated but that's a problem because I'm eligible for the vaccine now because I'm an old fart but Mrs. Lak isn't. That's the downside of a young wife.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I know you think they're the same, but for me the Republican party under Trump has been a real eye-opener. Any good they might do will surely be by accident.

There's only three hand fulls of ambulances in Eswatini.

If that. Funeral homes are full there and not accepting new bodies. No idea what they'll do with them all.

But then again, a Swazi funeral is a long, drawn out process, there's a lot of dead body storage going on. My mother-in-law's took over three weeks. You need to get all the relatives from all over the country, source a cow, dig a big pit to cook it, brew the beer - I tell you, it's a non-trivial exercise.

There are only 12 functioning ambulances in the Kingdom of eSwatini, formerly Swaziland, a nation of more than 1.3 million people.

The revelation was made by a top health official in the tiny southern African country.

Mr Masitsela Mhlanga, the Ministry of Health’s director of Emergency Preparedness Response Department, was quoted by the Times of Swaziland newspaper saying this was “because 20 ambulances were parked at the Central Transport Administration garage where they were taken for repairs.”

Eish. Hau.

Those are government ambulances, though, not private. Plenty of private ambulance service, plus airlift to Joburg or Nelspruit if you've got the money. No one in their right mind would go to a Swazi government morgue hospital. The government is less than useless.

Kamala is going to be a very busy girl, popping into the Senate quite frequently to break the voting deadlocks.
