The Sturgis FalloutPosted By Darian Rachal |
James, I am quite aware of the economic impact on the lives of many people and the general upheaval that has taken place. Do you think that all of the upheavals are necessary? The way the virus was dealt with at the beginning was one big cluster f**k. The media hysteria and "misinformation" promoting one to two million deaths in the US resulting in makeshift hospitals set up in numerous places, hospital boats in NY harbor, and elsewhere, etc.. I've stated my opinion of the US media in previous posts and nothing that has occurred during the virus "crisis" makes me inclined to view them any differently.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Why do you insist on belittling anyone as scared who has concerns about the virus and its impacts? COVID-19 may not have impacted you personally, but it has taken an enormous toll on lots of people. People have lost their jobs. Income streams from side-hustles they depended on have dried up. Furloughs, layoffs, and pay-cuts have impacted millions. They have lost family members and had sick family members. Small businesses have folded, and people have seen years of hard work and dedication evaporate overnight. Families with young children are struggling with virtual learning and agonizing over whether or not to send their kids back to school.
To be honest, some people are fearful and have high anxiety about what the future holds. Given that we are facing the most substantial global pandemic in over one-hundred years, would any reasonable adult deny that these people are justified in their feelings? You seem bound and determined to adopt a cavalier attitude about COVID-19 and the extreme impacts it is having on the world. That is, of course, entirely your prerogative. However, it doesn't mean that everyone else is fearful or scared, just because they care about what is happening and are not trivializing the pandemic.
If you wish to characterize my attitude as cavalier, so be it. I've just grown weary of the entire matter and no longer have the energy to "concern" myself with it.
Then there are those that see this as an opportunity to undermine Trump's reelection chances. Eventually, things will run their course.
It is interesting to see the extent to which many people's behavior can be controlled and manipulated.
