    Youre shouting at the rain dude. When it rains, you get out of it, until it passes. But complaining about it raining is pointless.

    We mask indoors usually. Covid is still spreading.

    The insouciance of the laptop class duly noted.

    The value of hindsight is you learn from it.

    If we were smart as a society we would build a model to address this when it comes up again but sadly nobody will touch it due to political motivations.

    This is so infuriating! Most of these idiots in public health at the time that pushed this should be held accountable criminally. It will not happen. But it should.

    The crazy thing is some here acknowledge the damage these idiots caused be still defend it. Of course they are like most of us that post here and have the means to protect their kids. But they are oblivious or worse don’t care about those with less means.

    Hindsight?! Come on Man!

    This was known and obvious. You just followed the idiots and allowed them to get away with the damage they caused.

    Yep! And it is infuriating that so many with means allowed those with less to fall more and more behind…

    Shut down private sector

    hammer an aging and already unhealthy population with unshirted terror … night and day

    for seemingly interminable months

    watch people drop like flies

    shrug shoulders with, “How could we have known ?”

    Even DeSantis was grindingly slow in reopening bars. I have bar-owning FB friends who were screaming in anguish.

    They were about the last thing to open back up in Florida.
    Home Depot however never closed, it was packed with the highest risk group the entire time.

    Given massive crimes against humanity and mass-derangement you can hardly have too many.
