I've often thought during the past couple of decades "so this is what the decline of empire feels like."   But I too have been shocked by the pace recently.

Let's face it.  Our government has given up on any kind of public health response to COVID.  This is a betrayal, and as a result many people are going to die. 

So now we must act like we don't have a government -- Just family, friends, and community.   Take care of them.  It's up to us to be as responsible and careful as our government is reckless and foolish

 

 

Our Federal Government has totally given up. Not only that, but our Chief Executive has actively promoted events that will surely contribute to the spread. That his supporters go along with it and expose themselves needless, is a manifestation of madness, the likes of which I have never seen before. I generally support the demonstrations over the murder of George Floyd (I will call it what it was), but I have not demonstrated locally here in Florida both to protect myself and those I would come in contact with. For, in our larger metro areas, if only 30% of the infected relative to late March through April, need to be hospitalized, our health care system will melt down the way NYC and Italy did at the height of their bouts with Covid-19.   

I am at a loss to try and explain this. POTUS protects himself by having those around him tested daily. At the same time he exposes his most ardent supporters to events that will surely sicken large numbers of them.

Its called freedom. Would u have taken this position for the people who went to woodstock? There was a pandemic. Would you have taken this position that went to the parade during the spanish flu of 1918??

This is America. Nothing is supposed to stop us

It is about safety first. If the country were attacked by outside invaders, I would give my life to defend it regardless of circumstances. Under current circumstances, taking undue chances is not worth it.

The same would apply to 1918s Spanish flu. The problem with that, though, is back then there was a lot less information out about how to avoid the ravages of pandemics, so given far less available information, who knows what I would have done? But if I had my current knowledge, and was taken back in time to 1918, I would have been holed up somewhere in the Wyoming mountains or another very thinly populated state, till it passed.

As to the Woodstock reference, I am not sure how this relates to our current situation. I am unaware of the USA being swept by an epidemic during that year.

There was a pandemic during woodstock. Nobody gave a shit

1918 president Wilson held parades to make money for the war bonds for world War 1 which multiple ancestors of mine fought in 

Also history proves majority of times you save the economy over peoples lives. People are replaceable

1. What pandemic during Woodstock? Name it.

2. I would not have attended those parades. If I were in Europe fighting maybe I would have lost my life on the battlefield. If I were home in the USA, I would be in the mountains somewhere riding the pandemic out.

3. Go sacrifice yours if you like. I choose not to sacrifice mine. My life is way too precious to attend any rally put on by any politician during these times. Perhaps you don't view yours as precious. I guess that's your right. Or perhaps you are just running your mouth but would not attend a rally. I have no idea which it is.

So you wouldn't do ur patriotic duty good to know as that parade was there to raise money fo the war effort. 

I live in NY. Trump is not dumb enough to waste his time rallying in a state this is a disaster and is so deep blue he can't win in november. Ny is a lost state and full of garbage

I don’t know if Nooner is fat, he is likely spoiled, and he has narcissistic nailed.

1) noone weights 200lbs and is 6ft 1in 

2) I worked the hot fields during the summer from the time I was 5 till I was 21. Often crawling on hands and knees for 12 plus hours a day under the hot summer sun. 

3) Confidence can be mistaken for narcissism if you disagree with someone. I was given the nickname "Mr Humble" so I doubt I am  narcissistic. 

You are not very good at reading between the lines. 😋

1. If you took the time to read the articles you posted, you would note that: A. The Hong Kong flu took far fewer lives in the USA than Covid-19 has already taken, let alone the final numbers. B. Social distancing had not yet been established as a way to contain outbreaks. C. There was generally more resistance to it due to it being similar to a flu outbreak that occurred in the late 1950s. Today, we know better. We also have no built in immunity to Covid-19. So, this was a totally different situation.

2. You are correct, I would not have attended the parade. I would have gone to Europe to fight if drafted.

3. You live a short distance from Pennsylvania where I am sure Trump will hold at least one rally. Make the trip and stop making excuses!

Failed species?  The test isn't over yet.  And I know that this will make you cringe but we are spirits having a human experience.  Actors in a play brother.  Some of us have been here before many times and some are rookies, so to speak.  You can tell which ones are rookies.

Don't you see any signs of hope anywhere.  I do and I aspire to be better and do better in thought and deed every day.  I fail quite often but the upward trajectory is certain.  We all eventually will find ourselves at the same place but not at the same time and not in the same manner.  

But I do get the point you are making and it is not lost on me that I need to go the unproven (to you anyway) spiritual argument to counter the failed species argument.  

Hope all is well brother.

 

Btw, you place blame on humans but what about the damn deer?  Those menaces.  You have not forgotten about them have you?  :D

Fuckin furry 4 legged terrorists.

If I predicted something like this 5 years ago you would think I needed to be committed. 

This is more surreal than the fools playing protest during a pandemic.

Trump doesn't hold any rallies in pa close to me. U do realize pa is a big state. I live somewhat close to Philly which he would not waste his time setting up a rally. Too many blacks to waste ur time if ur a republican 

U can't compare today. We had more than 1 event during a pandemic and nobody gave a shit. People wanted to live their lives. If  death came from it so be it but u had to live ur life. Too many people today worried about death. Death is beautiful accept and embrace it 

And if u had any patriotism you sign up before ur drafted so u can chose what branch u go too

Coronavirus is fake...

1. I wonder why blacks don't embrace your party? Not really, they correctly perceive it to be the party of racism and big money.

2. Embrace death? You are welcome to. I still have much to live for. I am not unhappy, have a baby grandchild, and plan on living to see that child reach young adulthood. I would suggest you, too, embrace life. But if you won't or can't then that's your choice not mine. 

3. I would fight to the death for America if it were invaded or there was a serious threat of it being invaded. When it comes to foreign wars, I am far less gung ho. I would have signed up for WW2 for sure. Most of the other battles, not really. Foreign entanglements in support of big business interests don't really float my boat.
