You seem like you fear government overreach.We’ve made fear a virtue.
Post a picture of your gun, either firearm or surfboard, or beat it liar.I carry a gun to protect me from Covid.
I led a 30-something healthy guy through a series of socratic questions contesting his idea that we can't go back to normal and still need to wear masks and socially isolate today. His grammar school son is wearing masks in school and they never did this in Europe and there are no RCTs supporting it. He refers to kids as disease vectors.You have to admit, CV-19 has helped legitimize hypochondriacs and germaphobes to the point of being leaders of the community in some urban/suburban hoods.
Around here (coastal S. Oregon), these people are still what they were 2-3 years ago. Masks are optional everywhere, and many ignore or don't use them indoors shopping or restaurants.
It's more or less treated as a security blanket. Which is what I felt it was from the very beginning.
Yes, people have died from it. Most with comorbidities (obese, compromised health issues).
It's time to move on and not hide from it anymore. It will be with us for years. There will always be another variant to "fear", if you let it. Sometimes more info is too much info, and this feeds the mass hypochondria mindset of some.
Kind of like that submerged rock at your favorite surf spot. You know it's there, just surf around it.
You can be afraid of it, it you let it. Know it's there, but have fun dodging it.

Low cost index funds are a threat? How/Why?Then he moved onto the threat of low-cost index funds (Vanguard) to ARE DEMOCRACY and I had to counsel him that this narrative was likely to screw guys like him and enrich billionaires.
No, what I'm saying is that I'm in Tahoe, ifailalot is in Phoenix and his diaper is so full of sh!t that I can smell it from here.So, are you saying your nose is close enough to his asshole to smell his caca?
Beware of the sample size.There were big lines of people getting tested here a couple weeks ago. Clogged up the med center so we bailed on getting my son‘s ankle x-ray.
Probably around 70 people. They had two lines. Those who were feeling sick in one and those who felt fine in the other.
None of those people were in the feeling sick line.
100% wrong100% wrong
Look at all the people who said they were getting tested on here "just because"
My job is keeping regulated businesses in compliance with regulations. I work with government employees from a multitude of agencies on a daily basis.You seem like you fear government overreach.
People should stop tweeting.
BTW, I love how human life means nothing if they have comobirdities.Dude is 50 and most likely had other comorbidiities
So let me get this straight, you make your living off of regulations while spending your days crying on the internet about regulations?My job is keeping regulated businesses in compliance with regulations. I work with government employees from a multitude of agencies on a daily basis.
Yes, I fear government overreach. If you have experienced what I have you’d fear it too.
So would you consider your fear virtuous?My job is keeping regulated businesses in compliance with regulations. I work with government employees from a multitude of agencies on a daily basis.
Yes, I fear government overreach. If you have experienced what I have you’d fear it too.
Still think your sh!t doesn’t stink?Some people LIKE government overreach.
They will save us from ourselves, I guess?
Which "side" favors this more, lately?
?Still think your sh!t doesn’t stink?
I think he read this in the news. He said Vanguard was the largest shareholder in some big corporations. I replied, "Well, last I checked half the money in the market was indexed through Vanguard or Fidelity, so that's probably why. AFAIK Vanguard doesn't invest in individual stocks." Then I explained the history of index funds and Bogle and suggested, "Where are the customers' yachts?" and "A Random Walk Down Wall Street."Low cost index funds are a threat? How/Why?
