Hiya!

After yesterday's link snafu, I'm putting today's link to the Morning Sixpack right up front.

It's not a day that ends in "y" that we don't have another bunch of shootings, and today is no exception:

Two shootings overnight in San Diego left five people shot, one of them dead.

Russia pulls its troops from Ukraine's border.

Biden taxes the uber wealthy. Stock market shrugs.

And this:

India needs a brief but extensive lockdown to break the chain of coronavirus transmission and allow the medical community to recuperate, according to the national president of the Indian Medical Association.

The South Asian nation is going through a disastrous second wave of Covid infections. Cases began rising in February and in subsequent months, large crowds gathered for religious festivals and political rallies in various parts of the country, mostly without masks.

There is also growing concerns about new strains of the virus that are potentially more contagious.

There will be global repercussions. India supplies so much to the rest of the world. There is no doubt this will disrupt ALL OF IT.

Make it a great day and have a super great weekend. It'll be raining here, "they" say, but it won't stop me from ... whatever it is we do on the weekend 😁

Here's that link again.
