I'm pretty sure socialism involves everybody working, not everybody not working. Also often involves trying to hush up any situation that makes the work not safe (think Chernobyl). So whatever we've got here is the opposite of socialism.

Anyway, chances are by the time Biden is sworn in this wave of the outbreak will be just about over, and whatever he's saying now won't be relevant for better or for worse.

Everyone-The must break you comment had the smiling emoji because It was humor. I was specifically referencing the film due to the log workout. I have never been bothered in that park. Cool some got the reference though. Most must be familiar with my humor and film references after so many years. Im 44 in response to Seventhfloors comment. Not sure if its considered young but i will take it.

I miss working out in the park in the nice weather actually. Im hearing Covid is being spread through Gyms and restaraunts.

I blame the certain religious groups that gather in massive groups unmasked. If it were not for them, NYC would be under 1%.

Uh, that’s not socialism. Socialism is where everyone who can work works, but the means of production, distribution, and exchange are owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Not saying I’m a fan. I’m pretty darn rich. But that is what the theory of socialism is.

A certain segment of the population holds that "Socialist" view because they're afraid of losing stuff

Whether anybody "loses" anything or not, it's all Fiat currency we're all playing with at the end of the day so it doesn't matter
