again, all of yinz are comfortably typing away, from a position where people's lives, and their health, were not dependent on your decisions.

there is no big conspiracy here. no over-reaction (if so, things would have closed 2-3 weeks EARLIER).

AM Radio - i've listened to it most of my life, off an on, now and then. Jazz, talk (years before everyone became bat sh* crazy, either liberal or conservative), sinatra-era music, spiritual/inspirational discussions... I don't like 80% of it NOW, but it served and does to some still serve a purpose.

i am among snobs, and elitists.

Actually, we’re typing away in accordance to stats of survival rate.

Are you going to stay locked down until every case is gone?

Are you going to lock down every flu season from now on since flu deaths are high and have been posted so many times?

This whole thing is a huge distraction, not doomsday, yet meant to scare people, make them obedient, stop trade deals and help push unfavorable leaders out of office. The weathy get more stocks and assets on the cheap, while the general population is forced to rely on governments for help. Welcome to socialism and a nation that used to be about protecting personal liberties and taking risk to get ahead to some twisted form of socialism where thinking and feelings mean more than stats and facts.

I was Kidding!

If most all the deaths are at old folks homes, maybe we need to do a better job protecting them while the rest of us start being productive, so we can actually pay for all this crap. We are going to be in a mess for a decade if we don't watch out, but what 10 years I guess.

It has nothing to do with snobs and such as it has to do with being concerned about MASSIVE taxation and more government control on us after this is over. We finally got a tax break with the current administration and we will be giving it back and much more. I guess you are super rich, so you don't care.

Those outlets are part of the corporate conservative media as well.

Exactly. I find if funny people can't see they are the same in a different direction. I can't watch any of them really. Most are left leaning in general other than Fox, but that is sort of balanced depending on who is on.

The media is just controlling everything however, but we let that happen to ourselves. They have us all against each other and more, but we just can't see it. Divide and conquer. Didn't take much effort by Hollywood and the mass media which is dominated by the super far left.

Bingo. They’re scared to death and need the sheep herder to think for them.
