MOPED ARMY

I had this same feeling way back earlier in the year when I had to travel for training.

Masks had to be worn at the airport and on the plane. Unless you were eating or drinking coffee.

So, we all sat shoulder to shoulder in a tin can, with masks on, then all took them off to eat or drink 10 times.

I have three kids and a work environment that gets people in small spaces. Every year, I deal with a few sore throats, sniffly colds, sometimes 24 hour bug that I have to barf and shit out.

FWIW, since the masks, I can’t remember being sick. So, less stuff is getting passed around. A few generations of this and a “small pox blanket” will take us all out. Oh well.

I also feel bad for many business owners. If I owned a business, I would enforce the same mask and distance rules as everyone else gets away with and stay open. Let the courts sort it out. It might be a fight, but we need to fight for our rights nowadays. If airlines can seat people side by side and serve them food like that with no masks, why can’t a greasy spoon sit people 6’ apart and serve them?

If the government allows one business to stay open and not another, I am certain the court cases would be dismissed and the owner could sue for the hassle and win.

Not saying anyone should break the rules and spread covid. But if you can do the same safety measures, you should stay open.

It would be a lot to ask of people, but I also think it would help if we limited the number of contacts we make. So, like, social distance shouldn’t matter as much. But Social contacts should. I think it is way more dangerous for a person to mask up and go to 50 different locations, around hundreds of people, in a 2 week period than a person to “live their life” and go to the same 3 places and be close to the same 5 people.

Changes never happen if people don’t push. That’s how our system of government works. Present a good solution to your representatives.

They’ve already gotten to your brain Slew. You don’t make your own choices, fear and propaganda bullshit news do that for you. Tighten that foil cap, it’s tilting to one side.

slew’s kidding. or smoked his breakfast...

Stephen.....why didn't you just say Trump caused it all and be done with it....complaining because you are asked to submit to being tested ,complaining about not being able to rub shoulders with everybody and having to wear a mask....you need to get real ...do what you can do to keep your distances for you and others stop talking out of both sides of your mouth about we need social distance one time and complain about it the next.. wow. Mooo.mooooo ding ding (edited)

^ lol, the test is non invasive, now the vaccine, that's where they get ya! ;)

Yeah silly of me you can't fit that many nanites on a swab and 5G is the Internet of Things

Your fear of smartphones seems to stem from ignorance instead information.

Smartphones have been able to scan certain barcodes for over a decade by now.

Lolz. I will add this. I listen to spotify and pandora through blue tooth head phones on my smart phone at work. The head phones have a mic for phone call use too. I just recently noticed that I'm getting some commercials in Spanish. Why, you may ask? I recently have been working with and training two Mexicans that often talk to each other in Spanish. Great guys, but it's pretty creepy. (edited)

That mug is the real deal. I was a kid and my dad was bugging the server about buying a mug. She just told him to take it. Probably because most people that want one just steal them.

I’ve had enough Grand Slams from there to be in a hall of fame. The mug is a well deserved trophy.

If you say so, I've never seen it, that was total sci-fi mind blown shit to me! I mean there is some good to it, having them allows testing on this magnitude and speed, but it shows just how easy it is for the data mining, and for a fact the camera and audio can be activated by outside sources, there was a time when if someone told you that such a device existed and that you would pay for the "privilege" of being tagged like that people would have laughed in your face, it does not seem to bother younger people, maybe because they have grown up under the camera's eye? I don't think it will ever not freak me out? It's so weird to think you are never truly alone anymore? I know that people are not actively listening/watching 99.9% of the time, but the advertising algorithms or whatever they are, are, and the idea that it is possible just freaks me out. I also sadly know there is nothing to be done about it, as the majority seems to like having big brother internet in their pocket, I mean they prob have not seen a movie in at least an hr, and god forbid they think through an issue without the help of google.

The real truly scary things is that this plague or virus and the protocols we're all outlined in an economic paper public two years ago about how to reset the economy to digital money ...
