Speaking of Sweden, hospitals in there have stopped using the malaria drug chloroquine on coronavirus patients after reports it was causing blinding h...

Americans are trained from birth to be good producers and consumers. Retraining would take a very long time, and it would require a desire to change.

But that would destroy the economy. :scream:

So you’re a felinist then.

Yeah that’s messed up. Worst possible time to quit and try finding another position also. Anyway, hope things improve.

Seems like you should be paid for every hour worked, and depending on you situation, perhaps even earning overtime pay.

If they cut your hours doesn’t that mean you’re being paid hourly now? What do they say when you point out the situation to them?

Kinda hypocritical, me thinks.

It’s not very manly of you to have such fear of uncertainty, Merk.

Like social distancing and the rest, it’s not just about fear of infection but fear of spreading it to others. If I’m a carrier a mask should offer th...

I wore a mask for the first time in public at Wholefoods the other day. It wasn’t as embarrassing as I thought because about half the people there wer...

Studly brave dudes don’t practice social distancing or wear masks etc?

:razz: I like the idea of including a dog.

For being a second rate NOS?

That was horrible. I’ve been noticing the lack of quote notifications but thought it was intentional. Must be a glitch in the system.

It makes me wonder how things would go if Trump were re-elected into a depressed economy in 2020. I understand that Democrats are often elected in bad...

Wrong question. Do most Americans need to be coerced? I think they do. In any case, you’re not taking power dynamics into account. For instance, if so...

Do you honestly think that the economy won’t tank regardless of what the government does? Or that people would adequately social distance themselves w...

We live in a world where Trump is elected POTUS, and this in the midst of things that Streetlight is pointing out. To me that’s a strong indication th...

The Great Recession a decade ago was entirely man made. You lived through that. If this downturn is similar in severity, would you prefer the death of...

Nothing new, according to the Second Thought video you posted, though accelerated.

Some of it was pretty funny too. Like the guy who Joe hired from the Walmart ammunition counter to be his campaign manager. Campaign manager was his d...

I’d be immune.

But if we acquiesce to such draconian measures who knows what else will slide down the slippery slope. :mask:

Depending on which pork, a lot or nothing, I imagine. The Democrats held it up because they didn’t like parts of it at one point. Your media had somet...

Your orange hero signed off on it too.

Right, it’s divisive in nature, essentially promoting what it ostensibly condemns.

The government has enormous resources at its disposal. You suggest that it’s an unreasonable expectation that it could effectively deal with both issu...

I’m certain there’s a better way of doing that than pointing out the administrations inabilities.

When asked about Cotton's early warnings , McConnell said: "It came up while we were tied down on the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the a...

They closed all parks and some beaches yesterday but trails are still open in the county. They’re monitored though, whatever that means. I guess Pfhor...

Really weird. I wonder how a Preformationist would explain evolution.

Hold on a second, we haven't agreed on this. I wrote, "We simply didn't evolve to sit around and pleasure ourselves so it will necessarily be unfulfil...

I hope that doesn't mean that I'm paying for it somehow. It's the LA Times.

I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying. A person may pursue sense pleasure or they can pursue well-being or a sense of fulfillment. They co...

Surfer fined $1,000 for ignoring coronavirus closure in Manhattan Beach And that was for crappy waves. If there's a swell in the next few weeks at the...

'Mechanisms for happiness' is an odd distinction and could probably use clarification. Is happiness sense pleasure? Is it a sense of well-being or ful...

If the preferred result is moving out rather than paying rent, just start coughing a lot.

An advisory from county doctors yesterday. I think @"Pfhorrest" lives in the county too. *Oops, wrong topic.

Tricksters are a wile breed. He'll be fine.

The juggling act, as NOS puts it, is between human lives and the life of the economy. I would expect that someone who brands themself with phrases lik...

So you accept without question whatever your government tells you?
