Few short months?? Like two weeks to flatten the curb??
You cannot stay alive without money. Living costs a lot of money.
Exactly. At one point it was "two weeks". Then, "a few more weeks". Then, "a few short months". Now it's 9 months. Is anyone so credulous and guileless as to expect for this to be over in a mere cumulative 12 months? OK then, we'll be up to "a few short years".
Let's look up Richard Dedekind's definition of infinity.

At least the boys who came home in 1918 came home with honor. They were respected and rewarded by the society that they served, and rightly so. They did a job, they did it well, and they moved on. Their counterparts today, whose colleges are closed, whose jobs have been lost and whose lives have been upended, get no such plaudits, no such benefits and no such honor. They're not fighters; they're not given the chance to fight. Instead they are hostages.

We have no reckoning of what is "this close". Consider the rate of vaccine distribution. At this rate, it will be several more years, at a minimum.

This is precisely why it is better to die, than to be inconvenienced.

There you have it folks. This is the mindset some people have. Better to die then be inconvenienced....what kind of mind set is this? Do you know how absurd this statement sounds? Do you?

I read that last line about 5 times, deleted 3 responses...... I have to think there is a typo.

Absurd? Permit me to assert, that absurdity is subjective.
If I am unable to live in the manner that I chose, then why ought I to deign to live at all? I have no interest in membership in some bizarre live-at-all-costs cult.
You believe what the Media tells you they say or that selected ones say. Again, only the useful idiots believe the media.
Trump only told you what Fauci and the other so called experts said. Which changed weekly. The so called experts have NO CREDIBILITY any longer. But you can't see that for the very obvious reasons.

While the text of the Bible does not change --- the people reinterpret it to suit.
Science can be bought and paid for and say whatever the buyer wants it to say.
Those who believe in an involuntary entity having the right to not only exist but possess the right to infringe upon your natural rights must shut up and take whatever medicine daddy mandates.
My parents were part of "The Greatest Generation".
My father, dead 11 years, fought in Patton's army in Europe.
My mother (age 93, but blind) was a young girl during WWII. She remembers.
That war lasted 4 years (for us). My parent's generation learned to do without during that period, as part of the war effort. A look at history (or, better, if you can talk to someone that lived through it, like I can with my mother, and like I did with my father) can educate you.
Back then, people did without things. Those at home were rationed to three gallons of gas per week; they were rationed on meats, potatoes, etc. No new appliances. Rationed on sugar, coffee, cigarettes, cheese, canned goods, etc.
It was tough living, even for those that weren't in Europe or the Pacific theater being maimed or killed.
Now? Your country asks you to wear a mask.
And you can't do even that.
Pathetic.
The masks have nothing to do with public health. They have to do with control and driving a wedge between the easily compliant and those who see through the charade. Apparently you are willing to just give your freedom away for the sake of security.

You haven't been even remotely free since 1790 right before the Whiskey Rebellion. And that's a stretch.
Is mask mandating a violation of your natural rights?
Hell to the yes.
It's also the 5732758958894th violation since breakfast this morning.
Some of us don't want to go back to the slavery of March 15th, 2020 no matter how "good" Trumpers make it sound.

You had me right up until Trump --- the man literally shed tears as he watched to stock market plummet.
The other side said --- don't cry, we're here to help.
Put your mask on and go to work, social distance while at work --- such a simple solution that didn't require tax payer funding, isn't it rather strange, no one thought of it?
