yzerman19 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 CA, which has outperformed Germany In terms of deaths/million, has the director of public health in LA county hinting a lockdown through July... how does that make sense? Don’t let kids play baseball or go to art camp or learn to ride horses... Elderly and vulnerable stay home.

I understand it's a right-wing talking point, but the "media" isn’t some all-encompassing entity that pushes a uniform agenda. Half this country seeks out news from outlets that counter left-leaning news. People hear what they want to hear. Honest media has gone down the toilet. There's a lot of money to be made from 'news information'. Nowadays news outlets are business that cater to the wishes of their clients - they give people 'news' what they want to hear. It's a big reason this country is so divided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every statement in Ira’s post have been proven to be 100% statistically accurate. If this were an academic exercise and 10 people were given nothin but the actual statistics there is no way they would propose shutting down the economy and place the current restriction across 95% of the country.

yzerman19 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 My mother in law made a great comment to my daughter. We are currently hatching some butterflies...caterpillar, to pupae, to butterfly to free kinda deal. one of the butterflies died. My mother in law asked my daughter if that was sad. My daughter said yes. My mother in law responded, no honey, it’s not sad or happy, it’s nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick or around someone who’s sick, stay home and/or get a test before interacting. simple Florida, like California, is lower than Germany in the deaths/million. Florida is somewhat of a microcosm of the US. A large percentage of the US deaths are in the Northeast... NY, NJ, PA and MA. 56% of the deaths in Florida are in 3 counties, Miami/Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Gov DeSantis, has for the most part allowed the counties to do what they see is best for their community. Florida began Phase I of reopening, with the exception of the above counties. There is no need for a national policy or statewide policies when the threat is not widespread. When beaches opened in certain locations across the country, a segment of our society went nuts at how irresponsible it was. The beaches here opened last week. My family took advantage of it. Fresh air, sunshine, exercise, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to understand? This country is so divided that facts don't matter anymore for 80% of the population....no matter what the topic. 40% on each side will go down with the ship no matter what. I alluded to this in a previous post - modern communication has broken us. It allows people to be cocooned within their pre-existing worldview. There's no common ground whatsoever anymore. This nation is full-blown party over country on both sides....with the complete demonization of differing views. Actually the blame is on us. We're the consumers. We're choosing to consume this $hit and not look beyond our own biases. Human nature I guess. I hate to say it, but I think we've become too big and too diverse for a functioning democracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Fargo parks will remain closed until at least 5/21.

If anything the media has done more to re-hab his image and normalize his behavior than they have called him out for the impropriety of his actions. He's stolen more for himself than any president in history ( ie. the $100's of millions we spend at his golf clubs) and the stories on it are few and far between and he never gets a question on it. He appoints unqualified and corrupt family members to run important government programs and the media doesn't question it. A functional media would have torn him to shreds, but unfortunately that's not what we have at this time. Fox News defends him and every other media outlet has it out for Trump. All you have to do is watch CNN or MSNBC and you will realize nothing Trump does flies under the radar and nothing good he does is ever reported. Let’s be real now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This process is about increasing big government with an eye on socialism. Oh c’mon. “Socialism” is just an anti-left buzzword. 9 out of the top 10 poorest US states are staunch Red ones. These are the states with one hand in the air screaming “We hate socialism!”; the other hand squeezing the teat of the federal government for economic survival. I mean, Christ almighty, MS, KY and LA rely on the feds for more than 40 percent of their revenue. Welfare parasites.

I have Trump’s wall to sell you if you think the Right does any different. Speaking of building the Wall, how ironic that conservatives have little objection to taking massive amounts of people’s land nowadays. And here I thought imminent domain was the antithesis of right-wing values. Not anymore I suppose. Hooray for big government control!!!!! Yeaa!!!!! Both liberal and conservative politicians -> opposite ends of the same bull$hit stick. Oh. Bad parenting too. Never a good sign. Nope. No siree. No bueno.
