Also…you can go a really long time not eating much.
Could we share …nest eggs
Scrambled nest eggs.
Never mind.
Its…unthinkable.
yes, the bodies will inevitably stack up either way, higher and
higher still if we do not appease the gods of mammon
Read your bibles, people…man earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. No lollygagging, no sharing.

Money>life. I get it. Its just funny, with all the abortion hysterics on the right.
We will definitely be the winner for most dead at the end of it.
Americans will think, eh, it was the old and the weak, back home in heaven. But these fetuses. They had so much potential.
Youth culture gone mad. I love you little embryo. Too bad so sad, gramps.
How many life-years left for the decrepit overweight boomers? Not many, we think, dreaming of stock market highs. We are all death panelists now.
As we should be. Life is not sacred. Can we all at least agree on that?
We make that clear with foreigners lives, and the old, weak, the minority communities, anyone who has no insurance, is just a bag of water and chemicals.
the elderly suicide in MIDSOMMAR. If you’ve seen that movie. Scary. Great horror movie. Is what we are.
A culture of youth, sex, death, war, fear, force imprisonment and winner take all.

April 30, 2020 at 12:34 PM #816967Guest[quote=spdrun]Governor Prettyboy ordered parks closed, too. Here’s the question: California’s medical system isn’t overwhelmed, so what’s the goal here? Complete eradication? Even Newsom admits that it’s unlikely.
Beaches and parks being open shouldn’t be about businesses. It should be about people being able to enjoy themselves as much as possible, even during a time of crisis. Also, outside of very packed outdoor settings like stadiums, outdoor transmission has been deemed unlikely. When was the last time that you’ve seen groups of people within 6′ of each other on a beach? Groups usually have at least one person’s height between them.
Sweden has the right idea — accept some deaths as the price of not robbing everyone of their civil liberties, but have common-sense restrictions in place (high schools closed, no gatherings > 50 people, encourage WFH even if it’s not explicitly mandated).
Why are quality of human life and psychological health being discounted, and only mere length of life is being considered?[/quote]
Prettyboy is better than Uglyboy.
We are gonna end up like Sweden but we’re taking the long way to get there. And in the process we’ll be poorer.
As Americans, we can’t accept that we don’t have the resources (intelligence, management skills and logistics) to pull off a beautiful suppression operation like China or Korea.

svelteParticipantMay 1st.
I predict when we enter May, patience will start wearing thin.
The Guv and the Prez better give us measurable, objective criteria for how we move on to the next stages.
Defining the stages was a great first step.
Now we need details on how we know when it is time to transition to each step.
They only have a few more days before attitudes will start changing drastically.
Get with it, boys. Voters are watching.

Patience is way thin I agree. Our past never seemed so relevant to what has gone on in Oregon and now in Michigan. Such a contrast : (

The Swedes aren’t battling the coronavirus with broad lockdowns.
Are we going to adapt to the coronavirus — by design — the way Sweden is attempting to do — or are we going to go the same direction as Sweden — by messy default — or are we just going to say “the hell with lockdowns” and go 50 different ways?April 30, 2020 at 5:25 PM #816974spdrun
ParticipantNewsom blinked? Parks are not being closed and beach closures are in OC only.

ParticipantWell…
“A network of right-leaning individuals and groups, aided by nimble online outfits, has helped incubate the fervor erupting in state capitals across the country. The activism is often organic and the frustration deeply felt, but it is also being amplified, and in some cases coordinated, by longtime conservative activists, whose robust operations were initially set up with help from Republican megadonors.”

They should try that outside the white house. Security’s tighter.
May 2, 2020 at 11:09 AM #816995GuestIt’s funny that the demonstrators are talking inspiration from Sweden, a freedom-killing, “socialist” country. Those same people were going berserk over Ebola some years ago.
