+1.It doesn’t help that the voter base is infamous for their “both sides” tolerance of nepotism, nazis, hate groups, LGBTQ. It is very hard to trust this administration because of the GOP allowance of so much that is.. wrong. Our country was already great. Why are they crapping up everything for no good reason. |
Lol we do it every year. We accept that people will die doing something or from disease or whatever. Death is a part of life. You can embrace it or be scared of it. No matter, everyone will have their time. |

Lol if you don't care about my life, then I don't care about your 401K. Shut it all down I say. Lick toilet seats. Eat babies. Bring back the gladiators. Why not? Everybody dies anyway. |
Apparently they are in a death cult. I'm guessing we will see more of this:

This isn’t a game. You are framing this as a binary issue as if there is only a right or wrong answer. The point is to go to the most extreme end of the spectrum to illustrate that there are circumstances where you are willing to tolerate risks and death (risk associated with motorized mobility). What some people are trying to explain to you is that your risk preferences are no superior to others. Everybody has a different tolerance for risk. |
Really? You don't know ANYONE? How about this guy, who you elected president: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/25/opinion/coronavirus-trump-reopen-america.html Orrrr how about this: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/27/older-americans-work-coronavirus-151240 Or this one: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/03/24/covid-19-texas-official-suggests-elderly-willing-die-economy/2905990001/ What about this? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/27/trump-ventilators-coronavirus-cuomo-new-york It goes on and on and on and on and on. And I can't see how ANYONE feels they are going about a rational life while we have this nihilistic yahoo apparently wiping his butt and calling the smears official policy - we don't have adequate testing, we don't have adequate equipment, we don't have adequate hospital beds, we have almost zero plan or coordination, and we have this orange faced JOKER in the white house looking for all the world like an ACTUAL comic book villain who is telling people to go back to work, go back to school, go back to church. The rational response is to hide out at home until you feel like the outside world is less hostile - and perhaps, maybe, someone who isn't a malicious criminal with the attention span of a gnat is helping guide the federal response to a PANDEMIC. A PANDEMIC. You can be in the stage of grief where you deny that this is a pandemic. I just saw a news story about a cruise ship with four dead elderly people and a couple hundred sick ones just floating around at sea because there's nowhere they can dock and get treatment for the people who are still alive. |

As far as your attachments, to each their own. If someone wants to risk what’s out in the world could potentially kill them then that’s on them. If you want to sit in your house and never do anything, then that’s fine too. If you want to sign up and risk your life for your country so that everyone can be free and live the American dream, then that’s fine too. If you want to jump out of a plane and skydive to the ground, cool. If you want to open your business back up when the president or states allow you cool. If you want to them go to the bar, gym?, store, soccer practice or whatever, cool. Everything has risks. Just hope you don’t die getting there. It is what is is and we all take the risk. |
Yes exactly. Closing the world down is ludicrous. |
you are free to risk your own life as much as you want. it's time for society to rein you in when - as now - you are endangering others with your reckless behavior. just like you can't drunk drive because you have a saucy devil may care attachment to your own existence, going out in public now in an ordinary way puts other people at high risk. during a pandemic. you fcking troll moron. |
I'm republican and went full hermit before it was cool. |
thank you |
Jesus still loves you. Yes I adhere to the rules. Don’t hang out in a group of 10 or more people, practice social distancing. But when we open back up in April, I will be back at it, working partying, vacationing, visiting family etc etc etc etc. |
The Federalist has also been crazier than usual lately. On Monday, Federalist writer Jonathan Ashbach published a column questioning whether social distancing measures implemented by U.S. officials to slow the spread of the coronavirus were worth their trouble. Ashbach engaged in a cost-benefit analysis of whether the United States “might be better off letting a few hundred thousand people die” from the coronavirus rather than endure business closures and event cancellations. https://web.archive.org/web/20200323165228/https:/thefederalist.com/2020/03/23/is-social-distancing-saving-lives-or-ruining-them/ Douglas Perednia, who Vice News identified as an unlicensed dermatologist and who The Federalist called “a physician in Portland, Oregon,” suggested that people “deliberately contract COVID-19 in a socially and medically responsible way so they become immune to the disease.” The suggestion that people voluntarily infect themselves with the coronavirus runs counter to the advice of medical professionals. Twitter locked The Federalist’s account after that. https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/25/how-medical-chickenpox-parties-could-turn-the-tide-of-the-wuhan-virus/ They also published a column suggesting that gargling with salt water would be a proactive step towards killing the virus. https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/27/how-grandmothers-gargling-remedy-could-help-abate-the-wuhan-virus/ |
