IrmaJean Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 It's been interesting working a 10 hour shift with a mask on. My main problem has been with my vision. Glasses fog or I can't see out of my bifocals. I have seen only a slight majority comply with the mask ordinance here. I do wonder if some doubt their vulnerability in this. Humans do seem to have difficulty confronting vulnerability. Whatever the psychology might be, I also feel the less compliance with the distancing measures, or lifting them too soon, may ultimately make this process take longer. I can attest that, at least in my very small town, that people are not buying as much gasoline. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

I don't really do inspiration, but some things stick with me. Maybe it will help people feel better. Quote "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

geronimo Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Thanks @Klingsor and best wishes to you 🌲 We'll all be in masks here soon I think, or be asked to wear them @IrmaJean but 10 hours with one on is a long time x Victimorthecrime and LaLa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 This thing is really starting to get old for people. Luckily here the weather has been cool & dreary but once Spring gets here for real the compliance will plummet. Americans are not good at not doing what they want to do. To be fair for the last 50 years we have been programmed w endlessly repeated messages like “don’t just sit home” “go out and eat” “go shopping” “throw a party” “join a gym” “dance the night way” “look who’s in concert” “travel the world - rates are down” etc etc as we were herded into joining the service sector economy. My grandparents never did any of those things apart from essential shopping. Anyway my crystal ball in broken but I do worry about where this is all headed economically as well as medically. Hope everyone is hanging tough. @Daveuk how are you doing? Haven’t seen anything in a while. LaLa and geronimo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klingsor Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Good video summarizing all my bullshit. I don’t agree with his characterization of debt - there is no such thing as “good debt”. My grandparents never borrowed money for anything. If they had to borrow money, they couldn’t afford it and therefore didn’t buy it. Avoiding debt is how I’ve managed to subsist through a horrendous personal job history and how I’m paying bills now that I’m unemployed because I sure as f* don’t qualify for social assistance/welfare. Too “privileged” for that. He correctly concludes by stating that significant world changes accompany debt crises, and it’s important to remember this is global in extent, although I believe it will hit the US hardest since most Americans today aren’t used to living within their means. Drawing an analogy to personal economics like he does at the beginning, it’s useful to remember what happens to little old you and me when we can’t pay our bills - the bank either takes your property or you have a shootout with the police. All the China litigation makes sense when you look at it from that perspective...so we’ll likely be in a war or getting close by 2021. geronimo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingsor Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 That’s the reason they’re easing lockdown restrictions. They don’t give a shit now that all the money has been spent.

geronimo Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yep, very difficult to see how any debt can be 'good' overall. Borrowing rates are low here I suppose, but it is still borrowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klingsor Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Here’s this fellow again discussing crypto currencies. Hard to gamble though with no income. I doubt anyone struggling right now has a “portfolio” L-O-L. But it’s true there’s always a way to profit, even during disasters. Except if you’re a schlimazel like me who loses no matter what. He briefly mentions decentralized finance using some acronym I’ve never heard of, but confirms what I’ve said about crypto’s and centralized banking. There will never be a “one world currency”. That is bullshit strategically seeded to make people fear it and then act like they’re in the know on some big conspiracy when it was never more than a red herring that most people are aware of to some degree. Same with one world government. Expect to hear increasingly ramped up hysteria regarding these two subjects in the coming months/years (and tied to Israel) and how decentralization is the cure.

Klingsor Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 The US is devolving into pure chaos. In one year the country will not be recognizable. They’re openly talking about food shortages now.

Victimorthecrime Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 YES! We all realize that we don’t need actors, rock stars, celebrities, but do need farmers, truck drivers, warehouse workers, retail workers etc for actual real life to continue. We all have learned the value of stocking up on essential items and saving for a rainy day. Klingsor and geronimo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingsor Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 And I will add one thing to that: the horrid, parasitic charnel houses called nursing homes and the brutes that work in them go out of business and people actually take care of their elderly so they can die AT HOME. Not surrounded by death and cruelty. geronimo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimo Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 There seems to be a bit less pollution in the sky/air. We have also had care home tragedies here, KS. Very sad. Then there is the 100 year old who has raised over £30 million for the NHS by walking around his garden. Victimorthecrime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, for better or worse, a very sensitive person and I can detect how much cleaner the air is. It is a simple pleasure just to stand outside & breathe.
