IMO that’s why the talking heads who rant the worst are on prime ($$$$) time. Unfortunately that would include a small group here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am panicking over the long-term negative effects to our nation over various damages caused in business, personal finances, government, and leisure activities. The generations that followed mine will live with this event for many more years than I will. That’s sad. i also panicked over the long term health issues for those that survived, because that could negatively affect all you mentioned. we had a chance at the beginning to address this in a way that took health and economy into account, and not destroy both. our government blew it. so now, no matter what is or isnt done, both are going to suffer. sad is that only one or the other seems to be peoples concerns instead of all of the above Edited July 19, 2020 by Jeff Ream 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting comment. We live in an age where information is at our fingertips. Yet with all that information we have as yet to have an understanding about how to process that information. Some will take it blindly. Some will deny it blindly. Others just might not be offended by this information and do additional investigation to find other sources to back up the claims or disprove them. The later part is lacking. Severely. People want information handed to them. Then there are those that want it handed to them to give them the ability to say something contrary. So many choose to criticize the source. Yet they do nothing to inform themselves. Edited July 19, 2020 by Continental 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some just can’t get the idea that we don’t know everything there is to know... NOW! ( or when this started months ago) It is much easier to criticize than to actually investigate. This is a symptom of the current education system. A certain member of this forum is consistently criticized for posting things. All.the.time. He posts actual media information. He posts media charts. He posts the latest news. We all know who he is. He is then consistently bashed and accused of trying to be a medical expert. How dare he actually read and try to understand. He's not making it up, he just posts it. To be honest, he sounds like a really interesting person. Edited July 19, 2020 by Continental 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
