[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America used to be a country of hard workers and people who could get through tough times and be better for it. Now people can't handle a few weeks at home because "my eyebrows!", "I'm tired of it!"

God help us if we are ever truly tested in a way that requires real sacrifice. We are a bunch of babies. And an embarrassment.[/quote]

I am the person who posted about eyebrows. Honestly - what is so wrong about someone looking forward to participating in pleasurable aspects of normal life - whether it’s going to the pool, going out to eat, seeing friends, shopping, or GETTING THEIR EYEBROWS DONE. If you read my post, I never said ‘open up immediately, I need my eyebrows done’. I’m not an idiot. But what’s wrong with enjoying things in life? Sorry PP that you like being miserable. I’m tired of these holier than thou types who are probably whining in their mansions while their perfect husband teleworks. [/quote]

I am not ashamed to admit that I want to get my roots touched up, and get a pedicure,  and watch my kids play sports, and relax at my swim club with a glass of wine.  I am also extremely worried about catching the virus and for the health and safety of my family.  I am worried about the education that my high school kids need, but aren’t getting online. As a furloughed worker, I am also terribly worried about my own personal economic future and the future of the world at large. [b]I’m worried about crime and social unrest[/b] as more and more people become increasingly desperate.  It’s not either/or. [/quote]

Sure you are.

As for "enjoying life", I don't need my roots done to do that. (And fwiw, I do need them done. And I have the same concerns about education, etc.). But, you all are going with your wants vs. what is being scientifically recommended. And bitching and whining about having to stay home a few weeks. Give it a rest. You know what's worse than all of those things? Getting sick. Dying. And right now, no one can predict how this virus is going to affect people (more, less, mutating, etc.).

Also, don't talk to me about privilege (one of the PPs who responded to me in another post) when you all are whining about having wine and watchingsports with a perfect manicure.

And you're all making my point for me, better than I could do it in any post.

You are a dumbass. Neither of those posters were bitching and whining about anything, or even advocating for opening up. [/quote]
