Back in June I was told by an establishment that you could have a drink while you waited for your takeout order. It took me 3 hours to decide what to order for takeout, and I barely made it home. Plenty of places willing to roll the dice on losing their licenses when the life of the establishment is on the line. For some people this will mean bankruptcy after this morning’s announcement. What do they have to lose. |

Suicide, clinical depression, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, crime spikes, spousal abuse, child abuse, child neglect....all being ignored for a virus with a 99+% survival rate. It's crazy |

Lots of local districts have gone full time remote, we have not. Not sure how long that will last. Lots of kids gone sick and lots of kids gone due to quarantine. Today's list is 50 kids long (remote learners not including sick kids that can't come to school due to fevers). We are at less than 50% attendance. The league shut down spectators for sports a couple of days ago but reversed it yesterday to allow parents into the gyms for games (lots of fits were thrown... something to learn there). I hope that even if we go full time remote that they keep sports active.
Our communities are being hit hard. I know 2 people who have died that were both my age. Lots of shops completely shut down due to all employees testing positive. Most people get by with semi-mild symptoms but many seem to have lingering effects that last more than a couple of weeks. The hospitals are reported full with no beds available.

What the Michael Osterholms of the world will tell you is that the government "has a bunch of money and can afford to pay people to stay home" (paraphrasing)....e.g... socialism |

If they want a reset what is the goal? Power and control? Environmental?
If they destroy or greatly reduce the velocity of the economy it hurts everyone and does nothing to lift poor people out of poverty. Is the idea to shove people into being dependents and therefore Democrats , I don’t see people having that short of memory.
I don’t see shutting down the country helping Democrats or anybody else. I’m not sure where this is going but it’s not well thought out.

I won't pretend to know the answer. I will say I don't think what we are doing is the right answer. I've always been a go to work guy; go if you are sick, go if you are broke, go if you hate your job, etc... just go earn your keep. Create savings and stockpile sick days for emergencies. Government shutting down work and promising you compensation isn't a healthy or long-term solution. I've never lived in a time where the government told you what to do so much. Work in my lifetime has always been something you go find and do, not something that you were denied if you were willing. I would like to think the country would vote out what I consider overreaching government, but we seem to be going in the opposite direction. |

I think you guys need to let go of the notion that anyone in charge has the interests of the 'greater good' at heart. That is the very antithesis of politics. If you tell me who the puppet master is, I'll tell you who's gonna get it and how. Factions the world over have their dream state, and they always seem to lead to a sh*tload of people not like them in mass graves.  |
