The lifeboats are the only real chance. But economists go on about getting back to business and work. There is an element of survival yes. We all want to survive. But you can throw all the money you want at the crewmen putting people in the lifeboats. Unless that's helping thier families, offering money is useless. What's all your money going to do when you are in the Atlantic in near freezing water? Maybe this is a warning to the world. We've seen how fast once pollution stops how nature repairs itself. Maybe Mother Nature is giving us a last warning. To get our crap together and try making the world a better place for all. Not just the pursuit of wealth and power.

RUPERTKBD Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Speaking of stimulus checks and people the world would be better off without..... https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/493237-louisiana-pastor-donate-stimulus-checks-evangelists Quote A Louisiana pastor who has drawn criticism for holding in-person church services despite coronavirus guidelines is asking people to donate their stimulus checks to evangelists who “haven’t had an offering in a month.” In a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, the Rev. Tony Spell called on the public to get behind a new online challenge he is dubbing the #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge. There are three rules to the challenge, Spell said in the video. The first rule is that it starts on Sunday. The second, he said, is for people to “donate your stimulus money.” “Rule number three,” he continued, is to “donate it to evangelists, North American evangelists who haven’t had an offering in a month; missionaries, who haven’t had an offering in a month; music ministers, who haven’t had an offering in a month.” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing was pretty much tongue in cheek, from what I can recall. I think maybe Vancouverites are a tad sensitive about this sort of thing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a fake cruiser and RCMP Uni? Wish they hadn't killed him, I would like these types kept alive to endure suffering and pain for the rest of their incarcerated miserable life. Death is the easy way out. Only if you send him to another country to serve his sentence. Prisons in Canada are cushy, not as cushy as Sweden and Norway but still nice enough. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making a light jab about what actually happened. My next post clarified that I love Vancouver, cause I do and even pointed out that how the team was treated could have been the motivation that they needed for victory. Heres an article for you, saying exactly that. https://thetyee.ca/Life/2012/09/08/1972-Summit-Series/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can be OK with that then we might not need as much growth. I have no issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd say that hard time hadn't really done much to deter criminal activity in the US. I think Canada looks pretty good in that respect.
