And thankfully the governor of Illinois has already been calling out Trump as his b.s. The governors have really stepped up for their people in the US. Cuomo, Inslee, Pritzker are showing their mettle and leadership more than ever. Good luck to you. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article today talking about how Trump and the hardcore nut-huggers in his administration are "starting to lose patience" with Anthony Fauci... ....you know, for telling the truth, when it doesn't align with what president Pinocchio is saying publicly. It must be just killing him to know that firing AF would be political suicide right now.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point they have to go back to work. How many cans of Pork n’ Beans do they have in the strategic reserve? The military must have studies somewhere telling government how long they can hunker down. Canada is impacted as well as much of our consumption is made in the USA. Push comes to shove and t he Americans will take care of themselves first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 History will remember when the world stopped And the flights stayed on the ground And the cars parked in the street And the trains didn't run History will remember when the schools closed And the children stayed indoors And the medical staff walked towards the fire And they didn't run History will remember when the people sang On their balconies, in isolation But so very much together In courage and song. History will remember when the people fought For their old and their weak Protected the vulnerable By doing nothing at all. History will remember when the virus left And the houses opened And the people came out And hugged and kissed And started again Kinder than before. -Donna Ashworth The "when the people fought" part got me through right to the core. Cried. Every time I read it - cry. I am still emotional over having to fight for safety at work. To demand it and have to leave to get it. Not for me, for my family. My boss is an ass...even though I'll remain an employee, that will never change in my mind from that point onward. True colours stuff. I will do the job, as usual, with the same integrity and drive as before because that's who I am. But who he is became perfectly clear to me in that moment during crisis. When the dust settles, it's time for me to ramble on. For now, I shake my head at how much intolerance and impatience he's exercised in it all. It's like we're in his way by trying to do what's right. Sorry to inconvenience you but....your open mouth coughing through the office is a problem. Not an "attitude being displayed" by us when we ask you not to. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a road trip down to Nelson in 2003 and while using a payphone (yikes!) I was watching a gentleman crest the hill. He had a big beard, long ponytail, wearing a nice 3 piece suit, carrying a briefcase, and finally...it was all topped off with flip flops and extremely dirty feet. I can still remember thinking to my 17 year old self "Where the hell am I?!" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports. Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 When/if this blows over, do you think general practices will resume as they were. or to change temporarily or forever? Afterall, The Asian flu, Sars, H7N9 never changed travel practices I myself hope that tougher screening to countries like China will be kept, enforced and adhered too Maybe airlines will need to have individual self contained breathing apparatus from now on? I imagine travel will be more costly with less competition I can't see any Government ever wanting to go through this again, and wonder how they will do things differently to lessen the odds of it happening 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Curmudgeon Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2020 What a dangerous, dangerous man Donald Trump is. His businesses are losing money and all he can think about is ending social distancing by Easter when, according to him, things will be back to normal. Dollars before lives. Imagine the mind that thinks that way, then realize he has demonstrated over and over again that he can do whatever he wants and nobody can stand up to him and get away with it. His pronouncements on "cures" have already cost lives when the disciples have ingested drugs they shouldn't have ingested. But he doesn't care, because what happened yesterday never actually happened. Only today is important and tomorrow, well, we'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow. That is the key to understanding Trump: Whatever happened before today doesn't count because it never really happened and it's fake news to bring it up. So when he says he has always believed it was a pandemic, even before it was called a pandemic, he's not lying, because "always believed" means since he woke up this morning. Nothing before that ever happened. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when there isn't gonna be enough ICU beds and ventilators for the amount of people who are going to get sick, might as well just send them back to work, right Don.
