How much do you want to bet Kodak ends up making HCQ?

HCQ is already made in the USA. Sandoz (owned by Novartis) makes it in NY. Since Novartis donated 60 million doses (along with 6 to 10 million doses donated by Bayer and other companies), we have more than we need.

So many 50’s “hits” were remakes. The Honeymooners even had an episode about it as I recall

You made me look for Sinatra doing ‘Blue Moon’.

It’s a different tempo, and good; but I like Billie’s version and phrasing better:

There are lots of different languages in the world - you probably know at least one or perhaps two. They are all legitimate for their purposes and regions.

It’s Pidgin. It’s spoken most frequently in Africa and the Caribbean.

Thet future never happened. Our superior (???) Western culture swamped theirs.

Pidgin English.

People can use any language they wish.

However it is an abomination for the BBC, arguably the broadcast keeper of the King's English, to publish anything in this stilted form.
