I totally agree. I’ve been taking all sorts of precautions with my parents, one has diabetes and the other has asthma and their age of course. I make sure they stay home and I do all of their grocery shopping for them. When I get the groceries I don’t even go in their house just in case, I leave...
It’s tough to convince people to inflict very real and permanent pain to ward off the possibility that something could happen. If you’re a healthy young person you’ll more than likely be fine if you catch it. It’s tough to convince that person that it’s for the best if they lose their job...
My brother is an ER nurse and he’s had to work a little overtime but said by and large it’s not so bad. I think there are pockets through the country where the healthcare workers are being overtaxed and other areas where that’s not really the case. NYC is bearing the brunt of the virus and I’m...
It’s definitely political and unfortunately Americans are caught in the crossfire like usual. I think all politicians should have their assets frozen and be forced to live on $1200 until the economy opens. They need to know the pain that many Americans are facing due to the shutdown. And that...
I was reading the article in the OP. It said they were a Facebook group with ties to Devos and spent $250 to promote it. Anyways I’m not suggesting they aren’t a political group nor am I defending how they are protesting. What I’m saying is you’ll see more and more unrest like this because...
I agree these people seem political and of the MAGA variety, and their protest is a political one. But their concerns are shared by people of all stripes across the country. It’s not just Trumpkins who think the country is quickly sliding down a slippery slope and our freedoms are flying out the...
The article said it started from a Facebook group, I don’t know what the group was about but it wouldn’t shock me if it was a political one thus all the MAGA crazies. And I’m not defending how they’re doing it at all with the traffic gridlocks. But people of all stripes are hurt by this so I...
But is targeting a particular group and having a malicious intent necessary to qualify for oppression though? I think people can be oppressed by a government (or anybody with power over them really) even when the intentions are good. It can be done without realizing it. I think in his case the...
These are people who are against the government overstepping their bounds and are just wanting to work, I don’t like the methods they’re using to go about it but I can certainly sympathize with their grievances.
I agree, the outlook seems rather bleak. Getting the mindset into people’s brains that we are back to "normal" will be a difficult thing to do. And many businesses aren’t able to weather the storm for very long. Even if the politicians decide the economy is opened again that doesn’t mean...
We’ve recently gotten into making fresh loaves of bread. I have pictures of some of our creations (the most recent is a type of bread from Israel but the name escapes me) and if I can figure out how to upload pictures to here I’ll show you guys.
His previous laptop went kaput so we need to replace it. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get him into building a desktop but he’s convinced he needs a laptop "because of school". He’s in the 9th grade so there is no way the laptop will ever leave his desk but he doesn’t...
