Pfft it really depends on what your doing.

We have been planning since before this to go to our lease and clear trails and fill feeders and we won't be near anyone. Who tf is anyone to say I can't do that when I'm not endangering anyone

Those are some good questions. I'm 100% free market, but the food safety questions are valid. There should be a standard in my opinion. Does it come from the federal level or is it left up to the states is a better question. ADA access should be mandated.
I cant recommend these two shows below enough. Its fascinating to learn the origins of many products we take for granted today and to see how crazy shit got back in the day which caused the pendulum to swing toward more laws and regulation and back and forth ever since

The Food That Built America

For generations of Americans, food titans like Henry Heinz, Milton Hershey, John and Will Kellogg, C.W. Post and the McDonald brothers have literally been household names, but you don’t know their stories. Before they were brand names, they were brilliant, sometimes ruthless, visionaries who revolutionized food and changed the landscape of America forever. This miniseries event will tell the fascinating stories of the people behind the food that built America – those who used brains, muscle, blood, sweat and tears to get to America’s heart through its stomach, and along the way built cities, invented new technologies and helped win wars.
It was crazy how much false advertising there was at the turn of the
century, tonics for everything, real cocaine in Coke. A lot of these miracle cures were spawned from the fact so many people had stomach issues because the food was so unsanitary, rancid, etc

Ken Burns Prohibition


doctors were giving out prescriptions for beer, etc, recommending beer for babies, etc, everyone getting so drunk they dont show up to work, bars sponsored by the liquor and beer manufacturers on every corner

in the food that built America show, the Gov stepped in to regulate food because the companies were ruthless putting all kinds of crap in the food to make it appear fresh, bigger servings (saw dust in the cereal), etc

I tend to think like you but when these big companies get ruthless for profits, how does the free market protect itself without some kind of negative consequence for such behavior?

This might surprise you, but just as Fox News doesn't all speak with the same voice (i.e. the actual news guys often contradict the opinion guys), neither does the MSM. You have a handful of articles here from January or very early February but there were plenty of other articles raising alarm. These articles were a response to those. Nobody was expecting the scope of this pandemic but then it wasn't Anthony Fauci writing these articles.

If you really want to watch somebody in the medical community who was really on top of this, there is this:


This is pretty hard to watch at this time. You basically get a timeline of the outbreak day by day with talks on the basic science as well as articles about treatment. It was really rough for me to go day by day knowing what we know now. It's like watching a car accident in slow speed. That being said, if you can stomach it, there is a ton to be learned. This is not political at all, by the way. Don't think this guy has much interest in that. He likes the science and giving information to partitioners to keep them safe.

I'd love to read this but Imma gonna need your login and password but I have sneaky suspicion you're not gonna part with that info. :D

Do you know a place where this can read without having to sign up for something?

It sure is convenient he only blames "right wing media" and gives a pass to the msm who wasted 3 weeks only asking Trump why he insisted on being racist for correctly calling it the Chinese/Wuhan virus. After wasting the week before that calling him racist for his travel ban...but hey lostxn is the fair one we should all listen too. He knows better than us just like all libs.

thx, what's the title of what youre referencing?

Once I sign up and login, it takes me to a video called "How does corona virus kill?"

and then below that there is a course called: COVID-19 PANDEMIC UPDATES FOR CLINICIANS

Is it either of these?

Seems to me both sides are treating their party like its a sports team with ridiculous emotional devotion and nothing but shit talk for the other team who they despise & I wish we could stop that shit

I find neither party indefensible

IMHO, the whole "but he said this but they said that" is a never ending black hole in which we could volley back and forth in perpetuity.

Somehow, we have to find a way to intelligently discuss the issues that matter in a constructive way but it seems to be a pipe dream since it appears everyone is having more fun trying to pwn one another and feel superior. I guess thats easier than trying to actually do something or attempt to solve a problem and maybe thats why we do it, because its a distraction that alleviates ones responsibly in the matter because we can always blame the D or the R

1) You do realize you're just as condescending?

2) That's a gross mischaracterization. I heard that a few times but it got so little traction they concentrated most of their energy on pointing out all the lies and misinformation being spread as well as informing people about the virus. As it turns out, the virus was worse than advertised.

3) There is a reason he calls it the Chinese virus. He is blame shifting. Again I've been clear I have zero love for the Chinese government. But I'm also not onboard with you guys fellating the President for sitting on his balls for a month.

Actually that was my bad. I didn't read the text. I just thought the story was interesting. This wasn't on the President although he did seem to back the firing in his PC.

Seems like you have a Commanding Officer who sacrificed his career for his men. I understand why he got fired but he felt he was not getting sufficient support to save his men and escalated. Of course his men love him for it. He cared more for them than for himself or the chain of command.

Yes that's def on purpose

Are you fucking kidding me? We spent two weeks here at this forum laughing at yall saying it was racist

The reason he started calling it the Chinese virus is CCP propaganda started claiming we started it you commie stooge
