My bud told me to watch 'Biggest Little Farm' which I did.....ugh, lots of animal suffering due to ambitious, yet unqualified dreamers trying to do a perfect natural balance farm while also trying to be a productive business. Not a 'bad' show though. It's not easy to watch and it does come off as trash tv.......if you take it that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are throwing out there values, ethics and morals for their own personal gain. People will stoop to "no end" to get what they want. Its truly sad to see to watch people hoard TP and buy and try to sell "Life saving equipment" at outrageous prices for profit its sickening. I truly am ashamed today of being a human being and being a part of the human race. Trump has made it a priority for the private sector to lead the supply of the "Life Saving Equipment". It's win/win/win/win for him. A. He doesn't have to do much B. In his mind whoever needs it the most will pay the most, that way people won't lie and say they need more than they truly do! (I hope we can all see the fallacy in that) C. You call it price gouging, Trump will call it entrepreneurial ingenuity that will bring prosperity to smart people (once again, I hope we can all see the fallacy in that) D. The price gouging will lead to the under funding of other public sectors = opportunity for more private entrepreneurship! It seems that the longer this has gone on, the less Trump is taking charge. IMO, I think it's mainly because he's getting overwhelmed with the situation. I also think this is what the Tea Party faction (which is primarily in control) wants out of government. And that's to take a step back and let the Private Sector be in control of the response because they FERVENTLY believe that the Private Sector can do EVERYTHING way more efficiently than the public sector every can on its best day.

But when we did decide to act, particularly in BC, we've done a good job. Its also unprecedented. I don't think anyone really had the mindset to follow all the rules we are now. Would we really have all conformed to the current rules back in January? do we shut off the border completely back then? shut down the economy in January? I just don't see it. I think a fair assessment is Canada acted about 3 weeks too late to bring in very strict measures. But I'm not sure how we could have got us all working collectively (well most of us) any sooner.

MikeBossy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Two things I wanted to comment on - I read Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff when it came out and after watching Trump running the country I fear a lot of what Michael said n his book is true. Trump does what Trump wants and doesn't listen to anyone - which would explain the current situation down there The second thing is the best Scotch hands down is OP!!!! ...........OP=other people's :D Seriously not a huge scotch drink - I am a huge Rum fan - currently mt two favs are Bumbu XO - fell in love with it when I stumbled across it when working in Winnipeg and a gift from my kids for my 50th birthday last year - El Dorado 21 yr old reserve - fantastic sipping rum. Back to scotch I have always been a fan of Aberlour 12 yr old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are born leaders some are not, I keep saying adversity brings out peoples true colors. Its very obvious to see Trump is not a born leader. He looks uncomfortable and appears not sure of what he is supposed to say most days. When he really gets pushed , he resorts to his go too of trying to ridicule people and blame others to deflect away from himself. He's a business man ,plain and simple, and I am not sure he is good one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard about the Italian hospital too.. It has also been pointed out that stock footage gets mixed up all the time. I see it plenty on local news. Are you under the impression that all MSM are just lousy at their jobs? or that they have an agenda?...or do you? IMO most thinking people get their info from multiple sources. Edit: I didn't read your other post until I responded to this one. You do think MSM has an agenda(s)... https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/04/09/cbs-news-caught-broadcasting-fake-hospital-footage-second-time/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a business man ,plain and simple, and I am not sure he is good one at that. True story. In grade 6 there was a kid. Loud and dumb. His mom used to send him to school with about 20 full sized chocolate bars to give out. To bribe friends. This was back when chocolate bars were something you got once in a while so it set the class into a frenzy when he would hand them out. He would pick and choose who got them. He got high on his horse and treated the wrong kid really meanly, insults about how poor he was. He got his ass whooped and he deserved it. Yet, the class turned on the kid that had beat him up. They had gotten used to the hands out and didn't care what was wrong or right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And related to the nikki haley quote if taiwan did have evidence of human to human transmission earlier on dec 30 then why would the who later come out and announce no evidence of such? I don't feel I am grasping at a conspiracy here just trying to understand the timeline to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Looks like it's going to get worse in the USA. Trump said it's the biggest decision he has to make on when to open the Country for back to work. Supposedly May 1st. The metrics he's using is his brain. The USA is f*****. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
