How are you enjoying this social experiment that MANY state and local governments have been planning for?

After months of fear and panicking, MANY of us -who won't personally know 1 person who contracted the virus- will voluntarily rush to get the vaccine that will protect us from it.

This is what THEY want you to do. Resist the temptation.

You know what's weird.....

Millions of people get the flu vaccine who didn't get the flu last year too.
I've never had tetanus, but damn if I haven't fallen for that media driven vaccine multiple times. In fact, I've never even heard of a second hand story of anybody I know having tetanus.

We can do this all day. Whooping cough? Polio? Pick one.
I know that the Nas "thing" is to balance between opinion and trolling (hey! never risk being wrong!), so I'll probably quit for now.

Those were debilitating diseases that killed and impacted the lives of millions around the world. After 3 months we're still under 200 deaths in America. Yes, a pandemic that none of us have immunity to should be taken seriously. Shutting down the country and tanking our economy based on the current worldwide data doesn't seem reasonable to me. You disagree with that. I'm okay with that.

I'm not a big "economy" guy, but in order for our economy to tank, we'd have to be falling behind many other economies...it's a ratio thing in the end, no?


Whose economies are booming in this global crisis? I'm legit asking.

I know that China, Russia, Europe and probably Saudi Arabia are out based on the biased media I've seen. Japan seems to be taking a hit also.

Millions will lose their jobs and millions are currently losing their retirement savings. The stock market dropped nearly 50% in less than a month. We're going to have a budget deficit over $3 trillion this year and probably not under a trillion for a decade. They're predicting 20% unemployment. I would call that tanking our economy even if we're still doing better than others.

Who is "controlling" this crisis?

Trump? - this is harming his re-election chances, not helping
Pritzker? - ditto
Lori L? - ditto
Banks? - They're bleeding money
Doctors?
Scientists?


That's true tin foil hat stuff there, mate.

We get it.

Kids eating crappy school lunches that they don't really like during a school shutdown is too government dependent for you.

Like I said I dont understand it. All I'll say is that this thing isnt nearly as lethal as other outbreaks and got 10x the response. Why? So far the people that died from this would have also died from the regular flu.
It feels like an experiment

I'm sure some vultures will come in, but this doesn't appear to benefit anyone. That what makes the reactions odd. MANY feared Lightfoot would shut down Chicago based on 1 death.

I read somewhere that people can't share their opinions from that thread outside of that thread or else it's harassment.

I don't understand the rest of your post. Bridge sucks and I'm probably not getting a haircut anytime soon. Which is fine with me....but friend, let me tell you that other people in my house are NOT ok with that new reality.

Where did you read that?

Which part?

That my wife thinks she won't survive not getting her hair done for the next.....however long...?
Or the part where JORR said that Spiral Stairs asking you your opinion over multiple threads was harassment?
Or that bridge sucks?

Surely you know which one I'm talking about.

You didn't read that. You might better understand what you read if every time you posted regardless of the thread I followed it up with the same snarky statement. I don't think that's the kind of board any of us want.
